Base Teleporters went to crap

[Snarky]

I never base edit.  Hate the thing.  Soi I set up a base and done.

 

Today all the TP points on a porter stopped working.  plaques are there.  I deleted porter, replaced,  same prob. grrrr.

[Snarky]

Going to leave this up.  Because it is so me.  and so funny.  Someone spent 10 minutes offering suggestions in game, trying to help me.  Then asked.  You Redside?   Because it was all my Blue connections you see.      

 

…./facepalm.  

 

Now I just got to rearrange the crazy crap I started throwing around the base in a fit of rage to try to fix the nonexistent problem.  

[EmmySky]

Lol...this is a good lesson learned.  I like that you leave it here so maybe other people can realize the same mistake.  We are all human, superpowers but still. 😝

@Snarky, I'm surprised you didn't just up and quit your SG..

I didn't go to the extremes you did, but I do distinctly recall my confusion the first time I clicked on the blue side teleporter and saw nothing there but Pocket D and RWZ. It took a minute before it sunk in that I'd recently switched to red side in order to badge hunt.

Just the other day, after the big beta update and the whole server reboot, my password just wouldn't work. I was beginning to get concerned. Then I noticed that I had left caps lock on.

[Oubliette_Red]

This is one reason why I tend to use different style teleporters for redside and bluside, re-colour, or use other base objects that have distinctive colours (or can be coloured) to make an easy indication of redside porters, blueside porters, and other.

After I was shown /macro_image "v_archetypeicon_mastermind" "Warpzone" "enterbasefrompasscode "WARPZONE-4141"" I have gotten very little use out of my own SG base.  This place services both sides, and it is so much more convenient than anything our SG had come up with.  If you've not used it before, you copy that string into your chat space, and it creates a power button in one of your trays.  You click this button, and almost instantly, you are there.  From there, you can get pretty much anywhere, except for Cimmerora.  Not sure anyone has figured that one out yet.

Sad part is my porters are redside / blueside.  Just wandered up to one looking for pocket D (which I keep on blueside…) and got twisted out of my head

 

and yeah, I use zone-8888, faster.  except my storage trays/etc are in my base.  so when shopping or crafting I go there

[Heraclea]

This is why I typically make my redsiders rogues and my badge farmers vigilantes rather than full scale villains. 

[Snarky]

Yeah, I just rebuilt a Brute I had on the shelf.  50'd, then incarnated to plus 3, and not really enough cash to build him.   Now I figured the cash game.  So.....I decided he wiould be my dedicated Redsider and be the one Brute with the Frenzy power I never get.  

 

….and since I never run pure Redsiders….I was soooo confused lol

I usually put the multi-faction zones on their own porter as well, like First and Night Wards, Pocket D, Kallisti Warf, RWZ.

Belatedly the thought has occurred to me that is  an excellent idea.  I am actually going to start a base remodel and move from tech to magic caverns.  Again, I do broad simple large stuff, so it is only a couple hour project total.  I will rearrange the porters as I do this.

...this must be server specific =(

[Snarky]

most servers have a public base.  On Everlasting you use zone-8888  create a macro  /macro ZONE enterbasefrompasscode ZONE-8888

 

fastest mission exit to base to new zone in town

Sorry about that!  I didn't know exactly how that worked.  I should have.  But, yeah.  It works on Torchbearer.

Yeah, I almost never use the tech teleporters because they are so pancaking huge. I would if they had a version that was just the pad and terminal.

 

Granted, I don't use much tech in any of my bases as much of it is really annoying to listen to and I don't feel like editing that many sfx.

Going to need three porters for blueside anyways, so I add the coop zones there.   This way one teleporter serves for all of redside. 

 

Wish there were porters for Praetoria.

I wish there were SGs in Praetoria.

Odd, I now have a Praetorian character in my TB SG.  Base macro is very handy for 'Find Mission Exit'.  Odd things happen if the character tries to enter a normal zone. 

[EmmySky]

I put all my alts onto my SG, /altinvite is a wonderful thing.  Praetorians who die and go to base are returned back where they came from since there aren't set SG spawn points.  Yay!

Ack...it got me...autocorrect....I'm dying!

Not saying you can't put them into SGs, but you cannot make SGs in Praetoria for Praetorians and as has been pointed out there are no SG spawn points in Praetoria. 😞

I thought that was a positive thing.  I can see, with all the new Praetoria stuff in the base builder, how it would be nice to have a Praetoria sg.
