Well, I'm not surprised to hear that. You did such a great job on it. I'm looking forward to seeing what you put on your website.

JUMPIN JAPANESE JEEBUS!

Not trying to bash but I don't think we need another high level PvP zone.

If another PvP zone were to be added I would like to see it in the level 1 - 20 area where none exists now.

great work on both bases EnnVee! Lots of stacking in the VG base....I have to admit I got a chuckle out of the VG workshop because the two eyes on the wall jump out at me like googly eyes...but not in a bad way lol. Kudos on both hangouts

[/ QUOTE ]

the eyes are gone BUT we now have the in base "Enhancement Buffet Restaurant" all you can slot, for FREE.99 lol, here is a pic

and here is a full base slide show of the villain base

this is my hero base slide show

[/ QUOTE ]

Looks great Ennvee!

I've been on test and I12 is great. It is paving the way for something we've been asking for, for a very long time. There are 2 dead givaways of what I'm referring to.

1.) We can swim underwater.

2.) The Roman NPC's throw spears for weapons.

Now what does this add up to?



THE MOON ZONE!

http://moonwhalers.ytmnd.com/

'We're whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon,
For they ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.'

Ok I made some final changes to the SG Base I inherited on Freedom. (Thanks to Comic_Relief for showing me how to make magic desks. )

I made slideshows of each room rather than list all the seperate pics. I hope you enjoy.

[ QUOTE ]
One question Golden. How do you plan this zone to be? Would it be one GIANT zone, A closed of part of the moon like a zone in Paragon City or several Zones like Fire Base Zulu?

Wait another thing how do we breathe? (I am not trying to shoot you down just trying to add a little more.) Would we get special space suit? (Would it be costume piees and you would have to wear that costume, would it be a power like an accolade? would it be a temp?) Or is it just because we are Uber we can breathe normally?

[/ QUOTE ]

Please understand I'm not trying to be rude, but if you read the description of the Moon Zone in its entirety you'll see the answers to your questions.

I think this is a great idea. /signed. I also love the fact of no travel powers, without travel powers you get to see more of the zone and it is more challenging. : )

[/ QUOTE ]

lol I get more flack over that than anything. but you stated the reason I did it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I never understood the flak. It's not like the moon is an area that needs travel powers to traverse impassable terrain, like grandville or terra volta.

[ QUOTE ]
Since we now have a definative NO on warshade/PB for villains... best to move this contact to the neutral or hero base?

[/ QUOTE ]

good point. with the VEAT's a few things need to be changed again.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not that it really matters because I know who I am when I read the credits you acknowledged, but when I chose my avatar I changed my forum name from Bounzer to Forbin_Project.

I'm thrilled you liked my suggestion enough to include it. Sorry if I didn't say thanks sooner.

[ QUOTE ]
lol Forbin, thanks :P You did great on your bases! We building addicts always enjoy seeing what others come up with. And if you ever decide you want/need help with the magic desk thing, feel free to contact me. I have enough alts, I can throw one in your SG for a while and help you out. Or I can build a room under your supervision if you like. Feel free to PM me here as its hard to reach me in game. I have more than one account and too many alts to count so its hard to say which toon/account I'll be on. Unless you go into the basebuildersinc. channel in game. Then just ask for Comic_Relief from the boards. If I am not in edit mode with my chat window closed, I'll see it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks. I'm actually giving a lot of thought to asking for help. Tonight I scrapped everything but the Medbay on my VG base. It wasn't jelling, it looked ugly. I deleted 1 room on the Freedom base for the same reason. So you may be hearing from me soon.

Edit: I figured out how to complete the base on Freedom. I just need to build up base components to craft what I need to finish that base for my friend. Hmm. Or I can transfer the base components on an alt from Virtue to Freedom after I12 hits and we can buy more slots. Anyway the only base I'm concerned with now is my VG.

Awesome Djeanie just awesome.

I'll keep trying tho. In fact I'm gonna go pull up those other two bases and post pics of the rooms I'm proud of in them.

I think I have a pretty good handle when doing Medbays.

[ QUOTE ]
I think you did a great job, Forbin. One thing you need to remember is that some of us spend WAY too much time tinkering with our bases.

I myself have never posted any pics because I could never seem to get myself focused enough to figure out how to use photo bucket. BUT!!! I have recently done that, so I should be posting pics soon.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks.

This base was the first design I was actually satisfied with enough to post pics of.

I have three bases. Two personal on Virtue (the above SG and a VG I'm still working on) and one I inherited on Freedom. (I don't use it, but the SG belonged to a friend and I'm keeping it active in case he ever comes back. He left before bases were in the game and I'd like to have a cool base design put together for him as a welcome back present.)

Oh there's also a base on the test server but I don't count that since I use it for storage and the devs could wipe the test server at any time.

Please I hope no one thinks I'm upset. I truly am in awe of what I've seen by the pics posted here. There are many gifted architects playing this game. They have nothing less than my honest admiration, and they deserve recognition.

The only negative feelings are solely directed at my own shortcomings. Disappointment in my inability to master the Magic Desk, and the realization that my imagination isn't as fertile as the true masters.

I'll keep trying tho. In fact I'm gonna go pull up those other two bases and post pics of the rooms I'm proud of in them.

Your base is amazing.

I was pleased with how my base turned out, until I saw yours.

Please understand when I say this, it is with the utmost respect.

Gawd I hate you.

Oh well. Heres the best I was able to do.

Ooh we need a new salvage for the moon. . . . Crackers! We need something to spread all that green moon cheese on.

Mmmmmm . . . Moon cheese . . .

What a great story. I wish more tales like this one made it to the forums.

He pulls a salary to make a living, like everyone else. It's not like he'll starve if this fails. This is the dumbest argument in this thread full of dumb.

The pack is poor value. That's all there is to it.

[/ QUOTE ]

That whistling sound you here is the topic that went over your head. I wasn't talking about Jays paycheck. I was talking about the work he does. Making costumes for a game like this isn't like running to Kmart and buying a t-shirt. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into his work. If it were as easy as you and some others seem to think they'd be cranking out new costume pieces on a monthly basis. The company would be well within their rights to charge us for everything they release. I'm grateful that they give us as much as they do for free.

<the following is not directed at anyone in particular>

While everyone is entitled to have your own opinion, $10. bucks is cheap in my book, and for the record I happen to live on a fixed income because of a disability. So if the next argument is that your not rich, it won't hold any water with me. I only get $725. a month and yet I can manage to pay all my bills and still have money left over in my budget to pay for 3 accounts and this costume pack.

[ QUOTE ]
Wow, $9.99 for a few costume parts? That's a bit steep. $4.99 I might spring for. I love the game and complain about very little, but considering there are not any temp powers or more than basically two costume options it's a bit pricy, IMHO.

And just to beat the trolls to the punch, yeah I know. I don't have to buy it. And at this price I probably won't. But I will give my opinion just the same, thank you.

[/ QUOTE ]

While I respect your opinion as well as everyone who agrees with you, I have to say that there have been many of us over the years who have been asking for something like this and we have said many times that we'd be willing to pay even more than this nominal fee of $9.99.

There will be players that have no interest in wedding costume pieces so this seems like a good idea. let the ones that want it buy it and the ones who don't can choose to pass. I hope we see more packages like this in the future.

As to $9.99 being steep . . . you should try doing SEXY JAY'S job. He put's a lot of hard work into programming these items. $10. is more than reasonable. programming these things is a <bleep>.

Thank's for the great work SEXY JAY !
