Bases are as relevant as you want them to be. Personally I use my home base all the time because its way more convenient to me to sell my excess vendor junk there, change my costume, buy my merits, craft my IOs or even portal around when LRT is on cooldown. But then, I built that base to be relevant and useful to me, because I planned on using it. If you find using personal crafting tables or university crafting tables or Icon/Facemakers or LRT to meet your needs, then no, maybe bases aren't going to be relevant to you. And that's fine, as the game isn't going to be played the same by all people, and some people will find some aspects of it more important than others. Frankly I find Atlas Park irrelevant, I never go there, but that doesn't mean that its irrelevant to the games population as a whole.

I am sure the 8 sec suppression is great for people who never pay attention to their toggles to notice that before they got turned off, but for those of us who do, the 8 sec suppression is a horrible, horrible nerf. It's basically causing the mez to last 8 seconds longer than it did before, and on some power sets could actually be fatal. If nothing else can you at minimum make the offensive toggle suppression an option? That way people who would prefer just having their toggles turned off to the 8 sec suppression afterwards can just do it manually like we have been.

But instead of using end game content to get end game powers, instead people will just... not. And they'll be harder to encourage to get -into- end game. Even now with the farms it can be a pain and a half to convince people who have never done iTrials to give them a shot because they feel like they can't contribute. Sometimes taking them into a farm to get them a few Empyrian Merits and showing them how to build an incarnate can push them to do more. I'm just wondering who gaining levels in farms hurt? I mean I know some people get incredibly upset others enjoy the game differently than them, but why force a playstyle down someones throat?

Adding (Unofficial RP server) or even (Unofficial PVP server), (Unofficial EU server), (Unofficial Old Man Yells at Cloud server), (Unofficial Etc server) tags to the server choices you get could go a long way towards helping people figure out where they want to be, and reduce the chances of them ending up in a place they aren't comfortable with. But keep them tagged as unofficial, so that way the devs and GMs don't have to do any more work catering to the server with rules or events. Basically just let people know without having to log into the forums how the community has decided to sort themselves out. I don't think anyone is advocating to force any non-RPer off of the server. It would be a huge loss for all the non-RPers to leave! They are by and large wonderful people who contribute a great deal to Everlasting! But an unofficial tag would also mean if someone for some stupid reason -did- want to say the server was RP-only, well, non-RPers would be well withing their rights to tell that fool to shove it 😄 Nor do I think an unofficial tag would make people leave, as in many other MMOs I've had conversations with Non-RPers who chose to roll on official, clearly marked RP servers for many various (non-trolling) reasons and were very happy with their choice.

Just out of curiosity, which alignment are you? I know a time or two I've clicked on my portals and been confused as to why the blue zones weren't working, until I realized I was on a full Villain character. Full Villains can't access Blue zones, so they will show no destinations, and full Heroes can't access Red zones, so likewise those portals will show up blank for them.

I'm getting the same thing today.

Yup! If you hit f5 while building it will toggle between placement locations, flipping through wall, floor, ceiling, and surface. Surface will attach it to whatever it is pointed at, but you have almost no control over rotation and its very finicky. The option that will give you the most control I find is to place a glass floor, hit F5 to get the floor option, and then place it on the glass, rotating, pitching, or adjusting height to where ever you need it from there. You can delete the floor afterwards with no ill effects.

There is a list on the Base Builder Cheat Sheet post with all the ambient music/sound effects you can use. I don't know if the foghorn is on there, but you can test them out.

For my Dark Wood base I don't need to lead a tour. Judge it on its own merits!

Base/SG name: Dark Wood Passcode: Woods-13802 Contact: @decomposey It is a public RP base, designed merely to be a canvas upon which other people can paint their stories.

So I posted this a bit ago in the MacGyver thread because I think the wardrobe came out rather well: It came out so well in fact that I had to give it what ever well made wardrobe needs. A portal.... ... to Narnia

Because I needed a place to store clothes, but the base layout didn't support a closet, I had to improvise. Two Bank Teller Bottoms on their sides doe the main body, two Bank Teller bottoms upside down for the base,, a row of Bank Teller Top over the top to make it flat and even, and two Tsoo Pens as the handles

Ah, usually I run with form of the soul, so the endurance from energize isn't really needed.

I'm curious as to why you invested so much into recharge and Hasten. I know on most builds you want your attacks as fast as possible but staff attacks, compared to most other weapons, take forever to complete, so your attack speed is more limited by the animations themselves instead of by your recharge rate. Also all of your attacks have toxic damage for some reason, and I can't for the life of me figure out where it is coming from. I would like to know, because I would love to steal it 😄 But below is one of my builds (I have 3), focused more on surviveability and accuracy, because I got really annoyed at +4x8 missions when stacking Death Mages or Night Widows meant I would hit nothing. It does great in group content and iTrials, being especially fun during anything where Psi damage is a concern because you're mostly immune to it. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1529;691;1382;HEX;| |78DA6594594F53411886E7D053B1142C605B968258768A9496C5DD18B514179AA0E| |08D9AD4937A80C65A485B14F4CAC4F5D61BFF8257FE0AF7786D5C7E807881A88088| |C6D4AF7DDF949A4E72FACCBC33DFCC3BDFCC34B210AA7C3A7AFBA8D22A4F248C743| |A3A6924AF9A296BC4988EC72C4A4AB97CCD50A32173CA4CA64DFF48C28C6552F158| |F458EADA6CCAC3DE8899304DFF44C6989A8A86E3D3339978725AD9C7676713FE702| |2D7AE429D5DFFB71CF9D698695C3153E999F89C6B642E1EF31F4FCD67CC68643E1A| |31D21933B5582F66FAE47BE6901F2D672FABAB35F119D455FD3AE8FD05F6F46BA00| |F5CF12A96AC4545055D127309ECBB00062F82CF657E0DF35BB5EB2A1F5F76835C00| |F545F22658710B7C21B1167AB3D04B233D36D263D326B87B03FC2EDEACF066B5BE8| |3B6ED13F91EDCFE81FC0856FCCD9D8CAE5ECA7AE5584F2BAFD3F29AB71EB4C9E9D9| |D86773210F6E27FA5E499C9D7BB40FA3AF72901C007704C9006387C01FE2B70A7EB| |5AA6419F6940657A5CFC1BD38F643AB3E401E046B0F918741E711F0B504D670DE9A| |65ECD3B904AEC9BC3BE137FB46C6B95057AE36E4DD2E7BAD43ACAAF320A64CB4066| |A0D5929CA228A87919E018CD2456B66269ACF40DB15264F93277962A7C851F0AD38| |69E1AD6A096117DE11B03D0C768D829BB2835666A6F58E9ED7DAEE92F7C8FB60FB0| |3F221F85B623B18DBD189F93ABBC86EB287EBF9C85EF0B258ED666CF779683D93A0| |EF2C798E9C0083E3A021B1BD8CED1D80B667901C2287C1BEBDE43EB046F2EA475E2| |DFE5ADC9CFE6AD249F2562AB752019E5460952F582FBCF26C935E78BDB9A69CE458| |8932AE73B8285A5E59AE28BC632A5F4B949562C58B95BF6D699AF6981979047E761| |7D6CD2E15D5BF14D57D25DE02254AB044192C51864A145BB5FCBB709527729982CC| |CF1FF7567D3DF75238E667517DA3A8FE0FC25C01B9| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Oh I ain't gonna lie, people -do- go to the D for that, and likley any time you visit there will be one or two who are pretty blatant about the fact that that is what they are there for. But to say -most- people go to the D for ERPs is inaccurate. Some do. Most don't, and saying that they do paints them in an unflattering light. Most people I see there go in order to interact with and meet people, make friends, or just generally hang out.
