I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the base builders have tried those things for years and it's gotten us nowhere. If you want to get more details on the efforts we made you can ask up in the base section. I'm sure you'll get an earful on all the various things we've tried and begged for.

I suspect bases are just pretty much at the bottom of the priority list.

Modsmacking is too good for the likes of you Sam. Zwill has far more horrible punishments in mind for you. Why if he even thought I was letting you know what he had planned for yo . . .

Or you could just not run Malta missions. They aren't mandatory.

Interesting idea but then I can see a bunch of SG's demanding that their members either run at maximum prestige earning or get booted from the SG. And while a Vet player will be seasoned enough to tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine a new player may quit the game because the players are a bunch of ***holes.


Depends on what you and your friends considered a decent base. Even back in the beginning it was possible to make a decent fully functional base even if it was just on the smallest plotsize.

If a size limit were set at registration (solo, max of 10, 50, 100, whatever), Prestige earnings might be adjusted for the size of the group so that it takes a three-person SG four times as long to get a Teleport Chamber as a thirty-person SG, instead of taking ten times as long. An SG that wants to increase its size maximum might be able to buy that increase with a fee designed to prevent gaming the system.

It would not be completely unreasonable to limit base size and/or equipment available to smaller SGs for "balance", but I will point out the Bat Cave, the Baxter Building, and the Fortress of Solitude.[/quote]

To easy to meta game even with harsh restrictions. For example players can simply make a series of SG's with small SG sizes and use the coalition feature and email feature to get access to them. Picture a main RP base and a series of small TP bases and Storage bases in coalition.

Actually all I see this doing is discouraging players from joining SG's. In todays game we don't need the SG teleporters to get around, and we can use our own characters to store far more items than we ever could in an SG base. And our use of global channels puts us in commincation with as many as 37,500 other players.

You seem to be under the impression that prestige belongs to characters. Unforunately it doesn't. Prestige belongs solely to the SG and players can't take it with them when they leave. You can't get a refund.

Oh and no you can't get it refunded as influence. That would be a horrible exploit to the game where people would use powerleveling to farm SG membership for the inf refund when the character quit.

MON-GO NO LIKE THINKING!

Thinking make brain hurt. Buttonmashing goood. Thinking baaad.





Edit:?!? WTF? Mon-go is blocked by the language filter?

Exactly. Which is why if they do allow it, it will only be accomplished thru the SG Leader. They already established when they added that rank, that as far as they are concerned the SG Leader is the defacto owner of an SG and can do whatever the heck he pleases with the SG, it's base/contents, and membership.

They will not get involved in internal SG disputes as long as the rules of the EULA aren't violated.

For example just after the SG Leader rank went live there was a player that arbitrarily decided to kick everyone from "his" SG, delete the base and basically told the former SG members to go pound sand.

Last I heard he had done nothing wrong.

Yeah it is. I've been waiting for at least three years for CS to resolve an issue I have on the test server. Multiple petitions and they still have refused to fix it. So IMO as far as the test server goes they deserve all the grief they get.

He wouldn't see the words training room so it's all the more likely that the source of his information about it was either incomplete or inaccurate so he misunderstood what to expect.

Thanks for helping prove our side of the discussion.

And yet we regularly have people coming to the forums to get something cleared up that they either misunderstood or were told the wrong information about. And many times the people asking for help are vets of several years. So I guess it's not as less likely as you want people to believe.

True but what you and Tyger are overlooking is the fact that he isn't a trial player.

He has a full active account.

And is it really so far fetched an idea that someone who is a new subscriber to the game might misunderstand how a feature works or even get incomplete or inaccurate info about something from another player that might lead him to believe that something works differently then the way it actually does.

What? People play games just to have fun? That's . . . that's . . .

There's only one problem with the three posts you quoted Wendy, and that the fact that Tyger hadn't made the last two posts yet when Tans
made the comment about "the snark fall out".

Although I do agree in this case that Tyger is overreacting to what the OP said.

All that fancy technology yet there was not one toilet anywhere to be found.

Yes you may.

May I point out that not everyone has a top of the line PC, so many players (not all, and maybe not even a majority, but more than enough to dispute "rarely") actually do suffer performance issues when server load increases due to a higher number of players online at the same time.

Just something to consider.

Well if you are referring to my post there was no snark in it. I wasn't even talking to the OP. I was offering a plausible explanation for why the OP might be upset about not being able to transfer his character from the training server to the live servers.

He is after all a NEW PLAYER. If he did receive the free stuff the devs gave out to people on the test server, then it isn't hard to believe that he might get pissed when he finds out he can't take it with him to the live servers.

Not everyone who is a new player has years of experience with MMO's and their test server policies.

It's only as dangerous as the writer imagines it to be.

How does one post made two days after the OP asked his question equate to "snark fallout"?

Not for me. I love that 100k prestige bonus my praets get the first time they join an SG.
