as happy as i am that they seem to be finaly addressing the base and salvage issues i find myself anoyed because the eu hasnt been included in this survey there is only a few of us able to cross post on both eu and us forums so where do the eu gamers get to have there say in responce to those questions

its been my experience that most people sell the realy expensive salvage for the inf as its rare you actuly need it unless your building something very spasific in your toon

Hard earned? The salvage inventory fills up pretty fast - you somtimes even have to delete stuff from it if it becomes full during a mission

[/ QUOTE ]

Which isnt actually going to help anyone with a base needing salvage either is it.

[/ QUOTE ]

the problem isnt how hard it is to earn the problem is getting the members to donate it because simpley put the invention salvage is a dam good source of inf especialy below 20 saving for your first real set of enhancements at 22.

not take into acount people now have two builds on every toon (ye i know not everybody will do this) this means they are going to be wonting that inf even more as well as creating a greater need across the board for the invention salvage on the market as its demond for that on builds and base construction arives.

before every day members had no need for base salvage and it sold for pennys so it was never a problem to get them to donate it to the base it was also relatively easy to pick up on every day gaming so no realy issue now thats gone

so there is alot of facters working against the new salvage system.

Well, it's more streamlined having just one type of salvage.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd change that to will be more streamlined, but expect to see the markets go mental for a few weeks (if not longer)

and ofc its less likely for members to give up invention salvage, that doesn't affect me too much we already have everything in the base but i feel sorry for anyone starting a new SG

[/ QUOTE ]

completly agree it can be difficult enuff to convince people to loose some inf to earn prestige let alone giving up there hard earned salvage as well but thats been just one of the big concerns about this new system since it was anounce pitty none of the red names have bothered to respond to any of these concerns yet

LOLOL, Damz, you're truly awesome for your noobishness, you really are

[/ QUOTE ]

ok im not normaly one to cscream noob well on the forums atleast but this time im with coin

for vet rewords youve actuly collected check your badge list you will find an extra tab ther for vet stuff

however some things like costume peaces are automaticly added to whats availible to you for instance trench coats the 3 month reword will now be availble in your list for creating a toon or changing costumes where in the past they werent

i think everybody has kinda missed the point just a tiny we bit in here this isnt a lets all jump on castles head thread its suposed to be a farewell thread for lighthouse

and no matter if you like or disslike the changes being made to the game or not derailing a threads within the forums to badmouth somebody on the suport or dev team can only end badly


so on that note shame to see you go lighthouse good luck where ever you end up

i dont think a server merger or just opening up a eu to us or us to eu transfer system would be the best solution for this because there is a good chance this would end up in the death of the e servers apart from those of us who are die hards for our hom server

i recon the best solution would be to merge the log in portals so when you log in you either get the option to go to the us side or the eu side then pick your server, or you log in and both sides of the game have access to all the servers give the eu complete access to the american servers and the americans complete access to the eu servers

now i know creating a log in system for this wouldnt be as easy as it sounds for a whole lot of reasons but it dose make a while lot of complaning and arguing about servr mergers mute as well as addressing a number of complaints the player base has had for a very very long time now

[ QUOTE ]
What would be good for those concerned about security would be to make it so that you could set the access level for each individual storage item.

[/ QUOTE ]

yup very true and something that is in the top 5 requests from sg leaders and base builders for a very very long time now almost as long as salvage theft was a problem

i know its going to be iritating to alot of one man sgs now that they will have to pay rent where before they didnt realy need to anoying but not to huge a problem

the one major concern i have is salvage as stated in the post highlighted on the us forums they have changed the system to one thats alot more costly to the sg that gets hit by theft as well as alot harder to protect against

at the moment i carry alot of the important base salvage for dark lords on monster something that wont be able to get dun with i13 so this will force alot of sgs to increase there access lvl to a harder rank thus making there isp and enhancement bins basicly pointless.

when i get round to it i will register on the forums as bru in some form or another and ingame im @bru so easy enuff to find

i recon i14 will bring us some good stuff with a large side order of dooom with a capital D

well they are completly rethinking the whole raid system so there is no way to know yet if we will need something along the lines of insurence for our items in a raid. but its still a very good idea if items can be destroyed in raids

2000 Prestige = 2 pillboxes in RV = 5 minutes work per month to pay the rent

[/ QUOTE ]

You might find that aint so quick in i13

[/ QUOTE ]

Becaused the NERFED people will be coming for you, hunting you down, until they find you and kill you! WRAGGGGHHHHHHH!

Back on topic, my SG base is quite big and has lots of storage items, so this may become a problem, but rent before was never a problem so I guess not, at least theres one positive change coming to bases along with the repricing (what am I supposted to do with all my useless base salvage!?)

[/ QUOTE ]

thats what gg was pointing out its 100prestige per storage bin and your stuck with a max of 18 bins or so, so your rent is never going to be more than 2k as aposed to the curent system

also remember that this is not based on plot size either so you can have a huge base and still a very small rent

even not farming pill boxes your still only talking 2 maybe 3 missions and rent is payed

even with storage bins the rent is still almost nothing compared to what it was especialy way back at the begining of bases, and id say this is probibly the best news for the one man sg groups out there

i have no idea what my concept toon story iea thingy will be for this toon but im still up for it will add myself to the global channel later if its already up and running

i should say now tho i run a heros and villians sg for those that dont know already so sometimes im gona be needed else where for obviouse reasons

and will there be a seperate sg for this or do our own thing dont know if its been mentioned yet and i cant be bothered reading back the thread


-edit-

oh and is there or will there be any restrictions on offensive power sets

I think you got the wrong end of the stick, this has dumbed bases down so far that if even a 1 man SG cant get what he wants, he aint trying hard enough.

Things do get progresively harder as you grow, its only going to be easier for big sg's because they have already put the effort in, not because it was given them free.

Its never been easier or cheaper for a small sg to get what they want as they grow than it will be in i13.

[/ QUOTE ]
Couldn't disagree with that last sentence, give the cost reductions (some of them huge) that are on the way.

As a 1(-ish) man SG owner, I did feel that some of the costs involved before were way too large, though. Looking at plot sizes, and going from memory, the original prices meant that if you wanted to increase the initial size at all you were looking at a cost of 1.5 million. That's just to get up to the next largest size beyond the initial 8x8, rather than anything truly huge, and was more than a little daunting.

Similarly if you start wanting next-tier control or power (both rooms and the kit to go in them) you're suddenly looking at prices of the order of a million.

I'd have no problem at all with things getting progressively harder, or having top-tier stuff that really does need a good-sized "real" SG to afford, but as it was pre-I13 the sudden huge leaps in price tended to keep solo SGs stuck at the very bottom end of things.

[/ QUOTE ]

im with stand of on this one because in some cases it wasnt easy for even larger sgs likes of dark lords to increase to second and thrid teeir stuff infact dark lords is still fighting to get the third teir power because of the badge linked to it but initaly it took us a while to get to the point where paying for plot then room were an effert and a number of the groups in our coalitions had similar problems

now with i13 the bigest hurdle for most sgs (that is if ive read the info correctly) the rent and plot upgrades have been completly reworked to a managble lvl for everybody . its still gona be an effert for one man and small sgs to get a base but no where near as bad as it used to be and the chalange will still be there for the larger sgs to get the large base if they wont it

now no children play nice no need to get catting or turn a fair question/chance for descusion into a flame war after there is a good chance there is new people to the game who dosnt know the answeres to these questions and wonts the answers just as much as phantom

Well, a way around that might be to move the access area of the editor from the base entrance room to the SG Registrar in City Hall - so instead of being inside the base and working on it in "real time", you'd actually be editing a copy, while the actual base remained in its usual state until you'd clicked to apply the changes to it - and it could maybe autosave every 5 minutes or so to reduce the loss of work a computer crash might cause.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or they could just do what people have been asking for from day 1 and add an off map storage room for items.

Which i cant see being any harder than that idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

the other option of course is have the ability to return crafted items to your base items list thingy makes it a lil more fidley but means no real risk of breaking the editer because of a crash or finshing with things not reachable and the likes

one coment that did interest me tho was at the bottom of the base notes where it said when they switch back on base raids you can choose to have your base stay the way it is and not be raidable or change it so sounds like there is going to be some sort of change to how the bases are vied by the game and how raids and the likes are worked are going to be revamped just a matter of playing the waiting game and hoping its not going to be another two years till its all complete

i might be up for this as well dependning on times and the likes any excuse to make a new toon realy and a theme always helps

The German and most of the French boards are currently not accessible due to some technical issue. We are currently working on fixing that, thank you for you understanding.

[/ QUOTE ]

the understanding wasnt so much understanding more along the lines of crys of DOOOOOMMMMM

supose i should say my peace here as well

wel theres dr death and Kinslayer at the top tho not here just for the groups they were with, they dun alot for villians and the server in general

max is up there to wouldnt be the same without evil there for pvp back up

von for getting the handies built up and of the ground the way they did

elisabeth bothery (think thats it lol) always good to team with great to talk to in and out of rp

been noticing starscreamer about alot and yet to here a bad thing about them

wee roasties always been a laff to have about as well (no clue if he still games tho)

dark lords have been locky enough to coaliion with some superb groups and most of those groups managment belong up here for one reason or another and as max said a lot more legends that have moved on


oh and max you realy should own up to mumsy there isnt one of those royal pains in the back end one of yours
