I've found that people that like to DJ and want to do something like this are less likely to be late or not show up, which is really something that brings down the energy at these parties.

I have worked, and continue to do so with a number of the radio stations on the yellow pages. They all take their jobs seriously so I seriously doubt you will find this to be the case.

From this standpoint I would recomment contacting:

Ice_Knight of Justice Radio

Kyo-chan of KJSR.net

Actually glad this thread started.. I am a long way from actually completing any room (limited game time) and I have done a few builds =) hope you enjoy what I have come up with so far...
Hallway Statue
The Bar
Library Entrance
The Forge (really an invention table)
Teleporter Platform
The Fountain (Obo Interface)
The Fireplace
The Keep (so much more to do to finish this room)

Some are simple.. others quite complex.. the keep for instance (about 40 hours to build) only takes up a small portion of the room, but has 6 rooms inside (2 barracks, quartermaster office, waiting area, and officers office). The keep will serve as the entrance to the rest of the base which will be all castle themed..

- Group Name: Affliction
- Server: Guardian
- Side: Villain
- Approximate Size/Cost: 24x28; 35 million projected cost
- Anything else peritnent: Going to be scrapped and totally reworked in i13

Personally I think the new rent system is great. When they orginally reduced rent so that starting plot sizes had no rent this encouraged numerous players to create personal sg's to store thier enhancements, inspirations, & special salvage. This took a hit on the sg concept of it being a group & took a hit on recruitment.

My fear was that in i13 by changing salvage racks to providing additional invention salvage, the trend of personal bases would explode making it even harder for actual sg's to survive, particularly on smaller servers. The new rent structure adds a price for having a personal sg base, this alone might prevent the trend from growing more rapidly then before. In the end however, I only expect the rent system for i13 to only slightly curve the formation of new personal sg's as the maximum rent can be covered by simply running 1-3 paper missions with a level 30 or higher (very conservative estimate).

We are moving from a 999 capacity storage unit to a 30?!?!?!

[/ QUOTE ]
Correction. We are moving from a max salvage capacity (per rack) of 2,500 pieces to 30. I image that it still holds true that anything in a salvage rack when i13 hits live will still be there. You will just be unable to add to that rack until the rack drops below 30 pieces.

Bring back the old salvage storage. It can already store everything. Either add a tab that can store invention salvage, or if that is not possible add a different rack for that.

/signed solves both problems easily

Base Repricing
1) How will the repricing of bases affect you personally?

It will have no affect on me personally, however it will have a tremendous impact on my groups as a whole. As a group we will be able to run in sg mode less, have more base resources at our disposal, and if rent is really based on storage units rather then plot size... Well sg mode for my members will be a thing of the past

2) Will you dismantle your base to gain the additional prestige from the repricing?

I will be dismantling my base yes, but not solely for the extra prestige. I am eager to employ a new design based on the raid pathing changes (or should a say the lack of raid pathing). These changes are going to usher in a whole new era in base design finally providing that community with a truely flexible way to show some creativity!

3) How long would this process take you if you were to engage in this practice?

Not concerned with how long it takes, because I am constantly making upgrades to all the bases all the time. Base Building is definately one of the more positive aspects of this game for me and any amount of time I spend in a base is well worth it in my opinion.

4) What are the positive and negative concerns regarding repricing?

Absolutely no negatives I can see. Positives are now smaller groups will be able to utilize more of the base building function, without having to grind as much prestige for upgrades.

5) How will this feature affect you long term and short term?

Both the same as far as I am concerned for affect. Better bases sooner!



Base Salvage Exchange to Invention Salvage

1) What is the negative effect on your base for this feature implementation?

Supply and Demand. Many others have made this arguement. More demand, same supply means inflated pricing on salvage needed for base building.

2) What is the positive effect on your base for this feature implementation?

There is no positive effect. Thankfully my sg's had the foresight to load up with base salvage. Mostly likely we will never actually have to worry about actually having to purchase or collect salvage for base building. Though this is going to be an ongoing concern for other groups I am quite sure.

3) How long will it take you to adjust to learning this new system?

Not very long, maybe a few minutes to an hour at most. Recipies are pretty much recipies, it will just be learning what salvage is important and what is not.

4) What side effects to this system do you currently see from transitioning the old to new system?

Inflation of Invention Salvage pricing.

5) What security concerns do you have regarding this change?

I have already had some issues with base salvage being taken in large numbers by members due to this impending change. Thankfully for my groups we have a seperate base where 3/4ths of the base salvage is held. For the time being until the contents of salvage racks on bases can be moved to the storage base I have had to lock all storage units so that members can not remove items from them.


Additional Notes:

I think the removal of base salvage, and the requirement of invention salvage was a poorly thought out idea.

I strongly hope that the raid pathing will NOT be reintroduced forcing designers to change thier bases. When raiding is reintroduced, this needs to be an option set in the SG window, allowing the player to decide whether or not raid pathing is a restriction they want. While my group is going to strongly miss base raiding, we have decided to set aside on of the bases for now for use in the future once raiding is introduced. On the other bases raid pathing is something we are going to want turned off so that we can take full advantage of the new flexibility in base design.

The new pricing is excellent and well done! A base worth 30 million prestige or so should be able to build a base on the biggest plot if they do so wisely.

I have FIVE accounts, I can start up any task force I want since I can ask a few good friends to help me start them out. So again, as long as I am not breaking the EULA by logging in five accts (and I'm not), then I stand by my opinion. Unless I'm violating a rule, then leave me the hell alone with how I play.

One of the many aims of this most recent update was to address exploitive behavior that could be used for influence/infamy farming. This is especially relevant when considering recent problems with unwanted real money trade (RMT) solicitations in game. Also included in the most recent update is the change to make it harder for RMT spammers to use the in game mail system for such advertisements. We will continue to make other changes as necessary to address the issue.

well at least there will no longer be as many annoying tells about joining a team for a few minutes to help spawn bigger mobs.. you just provided them a way to do it on thier own... i can not believe NCSoft really sees this as a fix to prevent farming
