Clarified because in CoH, there is a difference between team and supergroup.... a big difference. Not trying to be nit-picky, but it helps if everyone is using the same terminology, so we can help each other out.

Teams are small groups of folks (8 max) that get together to run missions, sometimes they are in the same supergroup, but not always. Teams are often short-lived, spur of the moment or singly specific goal focused (task forces/raids), groups.

Supergroups are groups of players that play together often enough that they want an identity of their own (and a base to store stuff, transport, heal, & socialize). Supergroups can have 150 characters, often the alts of several players, at various levels. Supergroups often have longer term goals in terms of earning prestige & badges to improve the functionality of their base.

Best of Luck with that, sincerely.

It would be nice if they were more functional in general... as in, more SG related TF's than just the one.

hmmmmmmm.....

Most arboretums are quite large, and are usually focused on the preservation and cultivation of a variety of botanical species.

LA Arboretum
Dallas Arboretum
US Arboretum

Though, I seem to recall seeing some smaller arboretums set up like fancy greenhouses in a smallish park.

And Turbo, What did you use for your waterfall texture?... a banner? it's quite clever.

Mr_Body has given a good summary, but I'd like to expand on these points.

SG2. You will notice that there is a shiny new red star in the rankings. This is the top dog, the head honcho, el heffe, the one with the power over all. However, the red star CAN FALL TO ANOTHER toon in the next rank down if the Leader does not log in before the set demotion time period. The star will go to the toon with the most seniority who has logged in within the demotion time frame. If nobody in the second rank fits those criteria, it will go down to the next rank, etc., until it falls to someone that does. This was done to prevent an SG from becoming completely leaderless if the "Leader" went on hiatus for an extended time.

SG3. To set storage unit permissions: You need to be on a toon that has edit privileges. You do not need to be in edit mode to edit permissions (actually, I think it only works OUT of edit mode). Open a storage unit's window like normal, and click on the new permissions button at the top. Set permissions to give and take according to ranks. You will need to do this for each storage unit individually (inspies, enhancies, salvage). If you are planning to share your stuff with your other toons, make sure they have the correct rank to take, or set up a special unit with looser permissions to accommodate them.

Speaking of storage: You may have noticed that the salvage racks now hold regular invention salvage (base salvage is obsolete), and have a limit of 30 items. If you have a salvage rack that is loaded with old base salvage, there is a way to convert it to invention salvage. It goes something like this: base salvage --> brainstorms --> invention salvage. Check the conversion recipes on the small enhancement crafting table. READ THEM CAREFULLY. You will get different results for each recipe, so you will need to decide which ones are the most cost effective and suit your needs.

Most folks have left their legacy racks loaded and only convert on an "as needed" basis, since you will be able to take from the rack, but you will not be able to add back into it until the load falls below the 30 item limit.

I apologize if this is all redundant information, but if you weren't the one managing the base before, then hopefully it's helpful now.

A lot of links broke when we moved from the old forums over here to the new ones. Each poster would have had to go to each of their posts and fix the links. Needless to say, many folks did not bother. It's unfortunate really, there was some good info in some of those links.

When you are in the editor, there are a few different "modes" to edit in. They are represented by the buttons on the bottom editing bar. When you are in "place item" mode, there should be a small window with a graphic that shows shaded & unshaded sections. They represent the levels that your ceilings, floors & walls are at for a given floor area in your room. You can make adjusments by clicking on the sections in that little window to raise or lower them, or to even wall up an entire floor area.

As for stacking/floating, I personally prefer the Accent Lamp + Floor Tile method....

1. Place Accent Lamp,
2. Intersect Floor Tile (the big one in "Room Details") with Lamp and slide the Floor Tile up or down the Lamp to desired level.
3. You can stack the Accent Lamps on top of each other to get more height if you need.
4. Place whatever you want on the Floor Tile... when you move the Floor Tile, the items will remain floating.
5. You can even lay out floating Floor Tiles for creating second floors/stories... Set the Floor Tile to the level you want, and remove the Lamps... the Tiles will remain floating, and you can still place stuff (desks for flooring) on them, and remove them later...

As has been mentioned twice already, you really should take your tech questions to the Tech & Bug Forums. All the great geeky tech heads hang out over there.

But before you post over there, you may want to take some time to go through the "Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines" that's been stickied over there. They will most likely ask you to post a Hijack This report so that they can better assess what your problem might be.

I know it can be frustrating when the game doesn't run nicely, and you want to play. But to get the help you need, you need to go to the right kind of help. We're mostly a bunch of "Average Joe Gamers" over here in Player Questions, just like you.
