I've seen this one a couple of times. Cracks me up!

Well put. It's sort of ironic that in a thread discussing how people should not be telling others how to play, there is a clear and distinct effort to do precisely that.

And those people can't adapt? Just wait a second or two for whatever survived the initial KB assault to get back up.

Interesting points of view here. I'm curious about the suggestions that those with KB should adjust their style of play to fit everyone else, but everyone else should not adjust? Personally, if I'm tanking or scrapping and NPCs get knocked away, it doesn't bother me. I know they'll be back for more.

Why not both? I've met some very nice people on both servers.

Well put! 😀

Interesting. I've never run into this issue myself. Did you try a /petition?

When placing items are you disabling the grid or do you have it set to 1x1, 2x2 etc?

There was a whole bunch of Praetorian items added to the base editor recently. Try searching for Praetorian in the item search or "new" to see all the new stuff.

@Dacy that is like drop the mic level amount of work lol. Wow! That is truly impressive.

Do you have the grid set to 1x1 or disabled?

Just posted this today - the Excelsior Community Base - Moonbase Excelsior More pics here

Hello all, First, a quick bit of info - since the game has been back, I had been wanting to do something for the community as a thank you to all the wonderful players I have encountered while running about in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. Costume contests are fun, but I wanted to do something more tangible and in a sense, more permanent - something functional and fun. With that, I am happy to announce the Excelsior Community Base is now open - Moonbase Excelsior!! Here you can find all the features needed - teleport points to all locations, costuming, crafting, leveling and enhancement store contacts, meeting room, indoor atrium and recreation facilities when you just want to hang out after a tough day being a hero or villain! Feel free to step outside the airlock too and explore the lunar surface... you may find an exploration badge or two... or more 🙂 This is for all of you, so please enjoy it and help pass the word around. Feel free to use it for getting around the city, hanging out, RPing, crafting or even costume contests! A big thank you to all who have made the return of City of Heroes a truly special experience.

Speaking of space..... The Community Base for Excelsior server is now open - Moonbase Excelsior!! Passcode EXCELSIOR-6984

I know it's hard to imagine, but not everyone plays the same as you nor has the same tastes as you. Perhaps you're fine with tabbing out or cut/paste / whatever. That does not mean everyone is fine with it.

Everyone understand that the pass codes are not going away and we can still enter the codes at any base portal. This isn't what the discussion is about.

This is only part of the issue. There is more to it than that. Read the posts from RPers who like having the option to bookmark friendly bases.

You've completely missed the point of my post. And no, people who prefer not to waste limited game time on travel are not lazy.

There is more to using bases than speedy transport for speed TFs - there are people building several of them for their RP groups and being able to bookmark them is a huge QoL point. I'm not an RPer myself, but just as we should not ignore the reasons why the slash command hurts PvP, we also should not ignore that being able to quickly travel to friendly bases with bookmarking is a desirable feature for those who RP. As far as lengthy TFs, this is something I mentioned earlier with regard to why so many people are using the slash command for fast travel. I think everyone can clearly see the ratio between advertisements for "speed" runs vs "normal" TF runs. Game design has moved away from lengthy travel time being a means to impede progression and dungeon runs that take several hours to complete. The revamped TFs and newer additions like DFB, DiB, Summer BB etc are all short and contained to 1 zone. People just don't have or don't want to spend the time on travel. This is something to consider when re-designing/creating whatever is going to be added once the slash command goes away. The slash command doesn't eliminate travel on lengthy TFs. It just helps make it a little more palatable. Just my opinion.

Yes, seriously. I really don't want to have to cut and paste. It's a nuisance to me.

Only speaking for myself here but having to cut/paste from lists is too much work for me. I wouldn't bother with bases if that were the case.

Thanks for the reply. I am a programmer by profession, so I always think of how to write re-usable modular code over one offs. That's why I asked if the idea could be re-used for other things in the game. You're correct macros can definitely clutter the bar, but we do have a lot of flexibility in customizing them. Quite a lot to take into consideration with designing something to replace this for sure.

Yeah I believe it is the beacons that need to be the same. My bad.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy it. 😀 Will message you about the walls and grass.
