Choosing a building for a base.

[The_Warpact]

The thought process on this is to give an added measure of realism to choose a door connected to some structure in game as your base.

Example, the Overlord badge an exploration badge in Grandville is on top of an Arachnos beach bunker.

I think going to the door as a normal click as to open would give the option to choose this as the entrance to "your" base if you so desire.

 

Obviously this couldn't be just any door as some are used for missions. But, still a vast majority of structures are unused so there would be alot to choose from.

 

Not only can they be exterior doors but, they can be interior ones too. Example an unused door in a police station or office building, sewer section, etc.

I thought of this a while back, too. I really like the idea, but it seems like a more complex thing than I originally thought.

 

Apart from anything else, you've got the player choosing something in the gameworld - how is that manifest? My thought would be a special one-off temp power that costs X inf at the p2w person.

 

Also, imagine it's Halloween... trick or treaters are clicking your base door all day. Are you? When you do it, do you get teleported to your supergroup base instead?

Well remember some ToT doors don't work, plus how it's coded you still need a pass code to enter.

I'm sure the devs would know or have a better understanding how it could work. I just provide the suggestion.

Oh.

This would work so well for me theme-wise for my bases.

 

I usually go with the smallest footprint possible.

We already have a tp to base, maybe it could be modified to accommodate this idea?

I think it would work for everyone who actually wanted a physical location that they could call home.

Perhaps it could summon a door which you then click? Lol...

On this same kind of thinking it could also be used to expand available Role Play spaces. Currently there are a limited number of accessible building interiors, City Hall, Vanguard Base, the Casino Redside, Icon, AE, Enhamcement shops, etc. What if some of the more proficient Base Builders could create Interiors for some of the common Paragon Establishments, like El Mexicano that could be accessed via the Zone Map Door at each location. Just Brainstorming.

 

To access,  when you clicked on the door, the " enter Base, enter Passcode " would appear, and there would be a list on the forums of the Passcodes for the Various Locations, like at Halloween for those Attractions.

Now we're onto ideas I had way back in Live ...

 

What if there were events happening in the tower blocks and you could rescue people from windows and put out fires whilst other players battled King Kong or Godzilla as they scaled the exterior? Oh sorry... was thinking of CoH2.

Well actually, if you think about it, for roleplay purposes this can be done now. Go to the building door, click Monitor Duty or other TP, enter Base code to Base, Restaurant, whatever and there you are. No coding required. It would be nice to have just clicking on the door doing it, but it would also be nice to have fingers, to blink once in a while, for your hair not to be as stiff as 10 day old Roadkill or for us to have 12 Costume Slots, but I imagine we can cover some of this ourselves till the Devs determine if it's worth the effort. Does anyone know if there is a list of roleplay bases providing this service? I may start work on El Mexicano on Reunion myself if it hasn't been done already.
