It seems you can make it very safe for teams but its not a combo I would recomend for solos..

    qft.
  3. So, I decided to roll an ice/ice blaster to team up with a fire/fire blaster.

    I enjoyed playing the ice blaster thanks to the quick activation and dmg output. But as I get higher in the lvls (currently lvl15) I'm noticing powers that seem a bit trollery to me. Another thing that bothers me about this blaster is that I don't have an AOE power yet and only one cone attack.

    I have an ice/cold troller lvled up to 44 already. Some of the powers on her are very similar to the ice blasters. Sometimes I feel like the troller could handle mobs far better than this blaster at low lvls.

    In the end, I'm a bit disappointed in this one.

    Bottom line: Not enough pew pew for me on a blaster.

    Do things get better or shall I just scrap it and stick to the ice/troller for mah icy butt-kickin fix?

  5. You're always welcome to our little SG that could! We don't really do much together, it's more like we just use the base for practical stuffs. We always have more than we need though, and any member is welcome to whatever. I think there are currently 4 active members including myself. LOL

    It's very lowkey: no uniform, no requirements, no required teaming/events
  6. thanks rhynwa! You had a big hand in making it awesum!

    Would someone please explain why a company/game currently celebrating it's 6 year condones such lousy care of its own game?? My real purpose of this thread is to seek out information that would allow anything to be done about such a beautiful TF/SF performance increase. I mean it's one of the latest advances in the game and plays worse than the first ever TF in 2004. Not to mention it is one of the best experiences as far as I'm concerned, well, if you have a great imagination to mentally negate the visual lag it is.

    P.S I"m a huge fan of this franchise. I'm not attempting to cause trouble- I'm just surprised about certain things that have gone on and continue to.
    way too many words and not enough to-the-point

    i'm complaining about the lag your post caused in mah brain trying to make sense of the runons

    Start a new one. I'll join and help add prestige
  9. If I could make a suggestion, I really need the Mastor of Khan badge. I'd love if you ran one of those instead. I could also do the respec with you afterwards.
  10. image quality is terrible, but here is the base I've been working on.

    I wanted something light, simple, and open.




  11. and now for more pics:

    Not looking for the right way. Just looking to see some different ways. Giving people an opportunity to show off their creativity and mainly their ingenuity. There are lots o threads about creative but not-so-intuitive/functional bases. I just wanted to give the practical peeps some props.

    I forgot to take screen shots when i went home (got excited about playing a new ice/ice blaster, lol). I took Turbo's suggestion and made a layout map with paint:

    I divided the base up into upper lvl and lower lvl functionality. TPs n workshops on the right are low lvl zones and salvage/IOs ranging from lvls 1-29. Left side, upper lvl zones and lvls 30-50 salvage/IOs.

    The only problem I come up with is my sg mates like to just dump into the bins, so despite many efforts to organize the salvage according to lvl, they always end up getting mixed up. I don't care enough to try to enforce it on them, so i'm actually trying to figure out another layout.

    OH! I forgot to add a tiny workshop (like 2 sqares) attached to the medbay with an insp storage n buff crafter. this is for when I'm on a tough tf, just rez on base, refill on insps, n jump back out.

    Here's a closeup layout of my salvage in workshops, the one that is currently phail due to sgmate dumpage:


    Right now, we are maxxed out on prestige and the number of allowable salvage storage items for our baseplot. I might have added an extra storage or forgot one in the pic, but that's pretty much how it's laid out. We're about a million prestige short of the next plot up, hopefully then we'll be able to get larger workshop space and more storage.
  14. I made an ice/ice on virtue yest night when i got home and lvled her to 9.

    Not sure when I'll be able to log on again tonight, but i'll be online for sure.

    Gonna try to get her to lvl20 somehow by the end of the evening.
  15. same

    @mintmiki

    I'm not ingame currently. maybe later on tonight. It's a loooong day at work today
  16. I'm still relatively new to the base-building world, but I've been having fun working with my little base. I really enjoy seeing some of the awesome stuff that people have created here in the base forum. Rhynwa's shopping mall base and Turbo's volcano base were amazing!

    However, I'm more of a functionality-type builder. I spend most of my time ingame doing taskforces, crafting, or doing mission arcs. So my current base is designed for

    1)quick med to portal transport
    2)Intuitive locations for TPs for visiting teammembers
    3)Easy access to Tps
    4)Easy crafting/storage access

    I'll try to post some screen shots of my base once i get back home.

    Do any of you have functional base layouts? I'd love to see them. Post pics!
  17. Dang! I want to take you up on your offer, but i'm working on purpling out my blaster and those dang purple dmg procs are so expensive.


    I still remember your offer for the lvl30 merit exchange too. I'll have to check when i get home, but I think my lvl28 blaster might have some merits on her.
  18. pc guy plays his ice/cold fender like a tank/scrapper. He runs around solo on itfs and lgtf like he's made of invincible sauce. He also jumps avs without hesitation. He does, however, fail sometimes in his battles with the bushes and trees in cimerora. I think it's twice or three times he's gotten stuck out there, LOL
  19. I have an ice/cold troller at lvl43 that I could transfer over for a bit of teaming.

    Or i could just make an ice/ice blaster on virtue and lvl her up real quick. I did once have an ice/ice blaster and lvled her up to 15 before i deleted her to make more room on my home server. She was fun tho, I wouldn't mind doing it again.

    i'd drop stealth for Combat jumping with 2 botz and LotG stuff if you want still. makes traveling easier especially in battle.

    I'd also 4 slot stamina with 4 perf shifters(proc included) and slot AB for regen with maybe one slot for recov for nukes and such.

    more slots in hasten, and use some Lotg procs. get more rech out of it. and SLOT FORT FOR DEFENSE.
    hasten is already 3slotted with recharge, isn't it pointless beyond three?

    LOTG procs are expensive, but i get what you're saying.

    Slot fort for more defense? It's slotted with lotg set already, do you mean hamios?
  22. I'd be happy to help also. Just send a tell to my global or gfriend me and i'll come over to where you are
