It is if you never tire of going "oooh and aaah" over the decorative talents of a few people (and there certainly is a place for that). But if you look behind a decorative facade and hope for more "meat on the bone" that would benefit a larger audience it's a sad story. I know others disagree, but to me this is just another example of PS promoting the wrong thing in the wrong way (while avoiding doing the right thing in the right way).

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom (or freem?) fighter; just as one man's exploit is another man's feature.

Looking past that artist crush I have, I can understand the deeper point you are trying to make.
What do you feel would have been a better promotional type activity?

Great discussion and I see your point from an artistic point of view as well (and thank you for the civility, much appreciated). |

Don't want to thread jack too much so I'll take a shot at answering your question and split. How about picking a "simple" functional base improvement suggestion and actually implementing it (I know, I know... standard code rant with a "Jenga on fire chaser" applies)? But, for example, I know some people that would go nuts for some more supergroup emblems (including a permanent blank one). I could see some promotion potential there.

I am in agreement with Fire Away.
This feels like the right hand patting us on the head, while the left hand takes away base functionality.
They complain about how much resources bases take, yet they won't put a little effort into re-purposing (skinning) existing items to use for floor and walls.
But hey! Let's show off all the stupendous things we can do with a bazillion desks!
grrrrrrr

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyep...
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
Understood.
One thing that really chomps my hide is gaming companies talking about code in a retail game that cannot be touched because the person wrote it is gone and the program would collapse if messed with in certain ways like to give use more base functionality.
Argh. Why let "any" code into a retail program that cannot be adjusted, save one guy you are going to fire because you don't like him anyway.... This happens in the computer industry way way way too much.

If it was true then we wouldn't have gotten i13 rules, Axis tools, or new telepads.

Thank you thank you thank you. I am so happy more people are speaking up on this kind of thing. Something does not add up for sure.|

I have repeatedly praised Arbiter Hawk, Synapse and Dink for their GREAT work. However, whoever is in charge of this portion of the game needs to set up their game because it is certainly lagging.

Can we please stay on topic? I'm not going to mention names but you know who you are.
This thread is for showcasing baser creativity, and as far as I'm concerned any attention to bases is a good thing..
And Darth.. I don't know where you get your 'facts' but you should cite your sources if you're going to make claims like that.

I think everyone here is to show support for bases getting more attention like they use to get. Things like base raids were an important part of the game, not just showcasing the artwork which is great.
The deal about the code has been stated more than a few times by several devs no citation needed.
One other thing relax mate. You come off a bit more authoritative than need be in a situation where you are powerless to change what you are trying to exert authority over.

I guess I should have also mentioned that bug that allowed our base defenses to attack us, many MANY people were ecstatic about having the ability to construct a danger room.
If any attention is going to be brought to player housing, by 3rd party website, social media, or promotional stunt, you can bet that the noise of "bases need love" will be there in volume.
Count on it.

Then when they realize they are dealing with the one sick bunny the situation will dawn on them like a garbage can full of recently used diapers... and I know what that's like!

I wish I'd been able to finish my two bases so that I could have shown them off here. But, oh well! I'm still gonna finish them, eventually.

Would have been ready but for some reason we don't have copy,paste,save,load options on rooms or items.|

Zwillinger's OP was made on 06-18-2012 @ 09:01 PM.
It's been over 2 months since then.
Has ANYONE been contacted for a prospective Twitch.tv Base Tour yet?
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Gonna miss you folks. I know that, after several years of lobbying, I'd finally (rather vocally) despaired of ever seeing anything new for base building, but I still lurked here, hoping the rest of you die-hard torch-bearers would finally win out.
That's pretty trivial compared to my sense of despair now...
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Your Forum Handle: The Briggs
Your Global: @The Briggs
The Character who will be doing the tour: Naomi Briggs
The name of your SuperGroup: Apartment 117
Your Home Server: Virtue
A brief description of your base:
The home of a wealthy business woman in downtown St. Martial. The base showcases intricacies of what the base editor can offer and attention to detail.
The walled off compound contains a three bedroom home with two baths, one hot tub, a kitchen, living room, home office and laundry room plus more.
((The name of the group reflects the original design, which used to be an apartment, but we can't change SG names))
