I will confirm what i see a functional base as being.

A power room with a generator
A Control Room with a Main Frame
A workshop with a Basic Workbench


[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed 100%

It should be a challenge to buy things such as an advanced workbench, and the power/control to run it - but every supergroup should be able to afford a basic, functioning base.

Way to suck the fun out of a new feature.

I agree. Hmm lets see. The Goonies have near max number of members, plenty of alts and people playing on cov.. 15 lvl 50s iirc.. This plan is what I have in mind too, we now have 1 control room with non-functioning mainframe, 1 generator room. Now trying to get enough dough to get the generator bought, then buy the workshop room and finally that worktable..

BTW, If I recall things correctly from beta, we wont get far with basic worktable, gonna need the advanced one to get tech material and tech power built which in turn might let us build stuff like the turbine generator.. Problem is, the advanced worktable needs 100 control and the main-frame only produces 50....

damn ur fast, zane

BIG GRATS Wardster!

You have to be in a active and relativly big SG to see a fully functional base.

To have even a partly functional base...

[ QUOTE ]
No it doesn't... A mate and I have stuffed a single SG with 7 alts each and we got the 20k for each one. Alts don't matter.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I didnt get anything when I tried.. Or maybe it was that prestige total updated only once every 10 minutes.. have to check again.

EDIT: Ah, sorry didnt notice the 15 members thing..

Nice list!
missing at least brt = Be right there
synonymous to omw.

kk = okay , I see many people using this, or just k.
y = why or yes, depending on context.


EDIT: By the way, I always thought that Powerleveler is the high level player who gives Pling service to lower lvls.. The one who stands in mission doing nothing is Leecher or Leech.. Then again, Im not british and this is my first MMO, so correct me if appropriate.

[ QUOTE ]
So the base entry permission setting has nothing to do with it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well that allows you to deny entry even if they had cov.. ^^

On beta I noticed that poison secondary with masterminds seemed a nice all-around supportive set.. It has sorta weak heal that recharges fast (really weak at first but gets better when enhanced), clear mind-sorta power, and resurrect. As other powers go it gets a hold, a trap power and of course 3 debuff attacks that resemble rad defenders. I also noticed that recall friend is nice to have cause you can tp the pets that are stuck somewhere and hover+teleport seems a nice travel power for a MM.. with this assortment of powers I consider that I was a nice support character.. Got as far as lvl 24 on beta. Just my 2 infamy.

I tried originally to go human-only from the start with my PB but that wasnt fun and ended up not playing him.. Then I used the I5 free respec to get Nova in before I6 free respec.. I think I might now play my PB more, when I can spare the time from being a villain..

Anybody know what you have to kill to get wraith? Croatoa ghosts? CoT? Im interested..

[ QUOTE ]

To be fair this would not have been found in beta, because their giving SG's 36mill prestige on formation masked the problem. If they hadn't done this then we might've actually spotted it sooner.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually I did notice the problem there, because you can still see the prestige earned by players at the SG window..
At no point during 2 weeks did my little group earn enough prestige to build one room.. And I did voice it out on the now-wiped beta boards.

Hum.. no epics in contested zones nor bases..
And thats what I feel PvP is gonna be about in the future..

As per arena, Jag won only by 2-0.. maybe there is a chance if I find damage from somewhere..

[ QUOTE ]

As far as Jags blaster goes dont forget he is a fully PvP build just like my troller is exclusive PvP made..he is not balanced to work in both PvE PvP so is not weird that he might have advantage over u....if u are into PvP maybe u could try respec into a pure PvP build the tanker but this comes at cost....

[/ QUOTE ]

As I mentioned I know he has finely-tuned PVP build..

Point is that I had mine also tuned mostly for PvP and there is little that I can add to it.. Clobber and intimidate (which I already have) but they dont remove the fact that my most damaging single-target attacks (i dont have area attacks slotted) do diddly against a frigging blaster even when 6-slotted. :-/ How could I kill him?

He has 4 attacks that drop toggles... I have ... brawl.
Total focus basically is a one-shot drop-all-toggles and a stun as a bonus.. He does about 20 times the damage that I can do to him. If Ed changes were not about PvP then I suggest the devs could get on with the actual PvP changes then..

The people that wait at the bunkers to steal codes should be killed and reported cause that is true ganking...and they are lame....this is why whenever i go in Warburg i never go around the area of the bunker to kill people or groups with codes and we usually sit at the beach...we are obvious from the safe zone and people can go around us and avoid us.....u saw us and u did the obvious...u were alone and decided to go around us....some people though decide is smart to simply fly straight on us and when they die they start the whole broadcast abuse....there was a controller last night getting mashed and she kept coming on to us trying to kill and each time she died cursed us??!!I sit in Warburg and i have said many times on arena and broadcast..all challenges are welcome just make a team and pop in for some fun....yesterday the whole mass battle started when we killed 3-4 individuals forcing the people to make a couple of teams to take us on....i have never EVER went to hide around w8 for victims and even more i have never waited people at the launch bunker which is lame...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I don't think the use of word "obvious" is suitable yet.. My friend complained about a group on the beach "waiting to bounce on anybody to stray from the safe zone".. A misunderstanding of course but points out that the unwritten rules of engagement havent yet been decided upon, people are uncertain how they should behave in PvP zone, or what to expect..

Personally I'm getting depressed about PvP not because of tactics but because my tank is utterly useless in PvP.. I can't bring down a seagull let alone any kind of squishy with my PvP-tuned attacks.. The epic hold is unusable in contested zones due to autoexemping too low.. I have no chance whatsoever in PvP in my opinion.

Fought Jags blaster in arena, he did masses of damage to me in seconds whereas I could barely nudge his lifebar.. Couldnt stand up to him without unstoppable even for a few seconds and at least half of fight was me flying around trying to avoid his attacks when I was in the red, waiting dull pain to recharge.. Ok, now he has finely-tuned PvP build, but still..

Tankers cant take it nor dish it.. whats the point?

The cheapest possible room that is just for decoration cost about 150000 If I remember correctly from beta(not counting connecting doorways if they are there)..The size was irrelevant iirc.
Functional rooms go 10x on that I think, and with them size does matter the price. Upgrading plot to actually have something properly functional in the base cost unbelievable amounts. The biggest rooms cost tens of millions.

Personally I'd say that the rate of gaining prestige is off balance by at least magnitude of 10... if not more.

You have to remember the obscene rents as well if you have something functional in the base.. I wonder what is the formula that the devs used for 'suitable' prices..

EDIT: and yes, amount of prestige gained is not linked to players level..

[ QUOTE ]
Heya all,
looking at SG registrant, i've seen that a choice to convert influence to prestige exists.
I didn't tried that, because i would like to know if i can choose the amount to convert after clicking it or just all my influence became prestige (bad thing, of course).
Anyone have tried it?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the general consensus is don't bother - the rate of change is horrible. Something like 1 mil of inf = 2000-20k prestige or something..

To try it, I think you can try talking to supergroup registrar at Atlas park for heroes - don't know where the villain one is.

[ QUOTE ]
If you have both can you make/enter a base in coh? guessing thats the point of earning prestige now in coh

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, there will be bases in coh as well, its just that you need to have your account upgraded with Cov to access them as far as I know(the pre-order doesnt seem to be enough..). I don't think its an issue with having the correct files(cov beta installed for instance)

[ QUOTE ]
when u go to those places and if u die do u get debt if so


[/ QUOTE ]
You don't get debt by getting killed by a player. Getting killed by a mob, yes.

Mind/energy here, I just kinda like words such as total domination and total focus in the same sentence
