There are also some instances where when a character enters a base they run toward the base entry portal instead of away from it. (weird but true) I like the idea of being able to change the orientation/ rotation of the base portal. Expanding on this, allow us to customize the appearance of the base portal. The bright purple vortex really clashes with many base themes. 1 Excelsior Server: Giovanni Valia, Operative Velez, Fortunata Valeri, LongFang Mercer SG: Shades of Arachnos; 315-6811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heraclea Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I am an 'old school' builder; when I started I had no idea that building outside the base was even possible, so I have not done a great deal with the feature, and my bases are mostly built 'traditionally' with rooms and walls, even for outdoor areas. I mostly am quite pleased with the base expansions on HC. My wishlist would include: - More stone textures, Marble walls would be a big plus. So would some kind of polished surface like you see inside the Chantry and the arenas. - More NPCs doing emotes like jumping jacks, crafting, protest, drumdance, that sort of thing. NPC emotes from AE. - NPCs from factions other than Midnighters, Arachnos, and Vanguard. Hero Corps, signature trainers, human merit vendors, pirate ghosts. Cimeroran versions of the current ones. - P2W NPCs. 1 QVÆ TAM FERA IMMANISQVE NATVRA TB ~ Amazon Army: AMAZON-963 | TB ~ Crowned Heads: CH-10012 | EX ~ The Holy Office: HOLY-1610 | EV ~ Firemullet Groupies: FM-5401 | IN ~ Sparta: SPARTA-3759 | RE ~ S.P.Q.R. - SPQR-5010 Spread My Legions - #207 | Lawyers of Ghastly Horror - #581 | Jerk Hackers! - #16299 | Ecloga Prima - #25362 | Deth Kick Champions! - #25818 | Heaven and Hell - #26231 | The Legion of Super Skulls - #27660 | Cathedral of Mild Discomfort - #38872 | The Birch Conspiracy! - #39291 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Group (classify several individual items together as one item which could then be moved or manipulated) 2. Copy/paste. It is tedious to do the same thing to the same item over and over. We still do it, but a copy/paste feature would be SO nice. Or, if it can't copy/paste, maybe a "preset" feature, sort of like a radio station on your car radio. If you have a position on the dial you like, you select it so you can go back to it. So, in the editor, I position a particular item at a particular angle, maybe in a particular color if applicable, with whichever attachment I'm using, and select "preset" or whatever you want to call it, and now, when I click that item, it will come out of the editor at that angle, color, and attachment orientation, until I deselect "preset". Came here to say basically this. ScarredSilencer also mentioned something similar. In particular I'd like to be able to drag-select, copy, and paste. Would help making things like interiors with standardized room layouts a bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssutcliffe Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I would also love to see a Redo key, for those times you accidently undo something you wanted by hitting ^Z too many times. And I'd love to see the absolutely horrible bug that suddenly makes you fall through the floor or magically teleport to start for no reason, when you're trying to rotate or lift things get fixed!

zenijos10 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) For the thing I want most, I think a lot of people might say I'm asking for too much, or its not doable, or maybe even that I don't understand how game development priorities work. If the following idea were implemented how would it improve your daily playing experience? I see that a lot of us players are hungry for new, engrossing content. I hear that a lot of us players want more and better ways to create content for ourselves and others. I would like to make each base into a distinct zone by marrying Architect Entertainment and bases. Not that you would get all functions of AE in the base, instead I'm asking for a type of NPC who can give out ONE story arc. In this way, we can use bases and (oft-requested) customizable NPCs to create more engrossing player-made narratives and give other players more reason to visit all the wonderful bases. Perhaps, eventually, conditions could be set, whereby completing NPC A's misson set 1, unlocks NPC B's mission set 2. Or another add on would be to be able assign specific Ouroboros missions to NPCs in our bases. Edited January 26, 2021 by zenijos10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A majority of the tables. The "surface" for Surface placement is below the top of the table. in some cases, the Surface placement seems to be place the item to be placed against the bottom of the table. These aren't broken and are working as intended. You need to press F1 a few times to turn the grid off completely before you surface snap, as the grid is constraining the allowed position relative to the polygon you are targeting. In the case of say, Glass Table 2, the height of it's surface is a non-grid divisible value of like 1.87, whereas the tables that work with the grid still on have heights of some position of *.0, *.5 *.25. A lot of the old items are "larger than life" and were intentionally modeled this way because back then you were limited to 1.0 ft increments and little else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks That is the work-around for the tables (tested all but two of them I did in my original posts), but it does seems like a workaround rather than something that is working as intended as here is a "surface" attachment mode ... and it works on some of the tables already.
