The Player Event Resource Committee Presents:
Design Challenge - Disaster Base!


Oh no, something terrible has happened to your base! Was it a natural disaster? A gang of looting Skulls? A Rikti bombing? A jealous Hellion's girlfriend? Whatever the cause, a total disaster has hit your base leaving you with nothing but wreckage! How creative can you be at turning a mess into a beautiful base? Thirty Designers will be selected to see who can best salvage their "Disaster Base"!


  • Anyone who wishes to compete may enter by filling out a short form linked at the bottom of the post.
  • Contestants will be chosen based on creativity of their answers, passion for designing, and skill level.
  • Entrants may choose to link up to 3 screen shots of previous base work.
  • Having previous base building experience is not a requirement; a variety of contestants will be chosen.
  • Entries will be accepted until June 24th. Contestants will be selected by June 28th and will be invited into bases from June 28th to July 1st.
  • Contestants will be posted on the forums and will be notified individually via email.
  • Non-VIP players may enter, but must realize that the prizes they win may be limited by their Paragon Tier level.

  • Each contestant will be given a "disaster" base to resurrect and design. Each base will have exactly the same number of items (wreckage) and an additional 50k prestige (disaster relief funds).
  • Contestants may not do anything to earn or buy more prestige for the super group. Part of the challenge of this contest is designing with only the materials provided and a small amount of prestige.
  • Contestants may not delete any of the preexisting wreckage. You may move it or reposition it, but you may not delete it. You must use the wreckage in a creative way.
  • Any player who does not have access to Paragon Rewards base items may request that a PERC Rep drop them off in the base.
  • Contestants may design only the given "Disaster Base" room, the base entrance will NOT be judged.
  • Design/Building time will end on July 20th.
  • Judges will tour bases between July 21st and 25th.
  • Bases will be judged without the contestants present. Contestants may email a summary/description of their base to be considered during judging.
  • Bases will be judged on: creativity, difficulty, use of wreckage in design, overall aesthetics, and cohesion.
  • There will be 3 overall winners selected and up to 10 Honorable Mentions.

  • Overall Winners (3)- 2 Billion influence, a set of ATOs (player's choice), and an Olympian Guard costume code!
  • Honorable Mentions - 250 Million influence
  • Each contestant who completes their base will be awarded a Luck of the Gambler +7.5% rech

The Player Event Resource Committee would like to thank all of the base builders who entered and completed the Design Challenge - Disaster Base! Each and every one of you surprised and amazed us with your skills, creativity, and commitment to your design. This was certainly not an easy contest and it was a true pleasure to see all of the bases come to life!

Just as a reminder, the base builders were given a base with an entryway and one 3 by 3 room. They had 200 random items of "wreckage" that had to be used to complete the base and 50k in prestige as "disaster relief funds." Bases were judged based on creativity, use of the "wreckage," cohesion/theme, difficulty, and overall aesthetics.
