New efforts!

[Serpine]

What do you think could be added/changed/removed from CoH's base building system that could implemented into CoH2's possible new base building system?

I'd honestly like to see something as deep as the foundry found in the two PWE Cryptic games that have it: Up to and including npc scripting, furnishings that are dictated by current flag states, and temporary "items" issued. Imagine if your base could have an npc butler that you could ask to fetch you a drink and walk off to the bar and then return and issue you one of those temporary quest flags labeled "Martini, shaken not stirred". You click on the urn marked "Guests, please don't mess with this. Especially you Azuria." and a demon pops out and attacks you (no xp issued for a base spawned npc kill of course, just the chaos it causes).

I'd like to see the equivalent of AE reach these sorts of levels to: Honestly they could be the same interface with just some different behaviors (i.e. bases would still have the same budget / power requirements for functional pieces and base components like the zone teleporters would just be possibly destructible scenery in AE or a teleporter to another part of the mission).

Using the same engine and data, bases could even be outdoor temples or shrines (why have rooms and doorways, just limit you by the budget and what components you put in). Likewise you could load a saved base into the mission engine as the framework for an attack on the base scenario.

If the game come back, I'm going to do a lot more demorecording than I did the last time.

And learn how to make my own videos. They may never be good enough to publicly show, but at least I'll more permanent memories of my toons. :D

Wow... I already loved the base building in CoH; I literally spent hundreds of hours in my solo base on Virtue. However, there are probably so many things the soon-to-be new dev team could to to improve it. I would go crazy with the new base building system were it to be created. What do you think could be added/changed/removed from CoH's base building system that could implemented into CoH2's possible new base building system?

Someone will at least need to make sure the new devs know that some of the glitches in the base building tools are left in on purpose. The whole thing with the object clipping and using Slow Fields to create faux water effects.

What are the odds they would sell the IP out right with a minimal amount of strings attached? Well at least in relation to any new game

I'd estimate somewhere around zero.

Screw whether you think they're "good enough." Show them anyway.

I thought the brute way was SMASH

Kind of figured. Not that surprised though. However there control over what would be produced in a new game would be very limited wouldn't it? Otherwise that would make the sell of the IP more like a lease.

You can NEVER have too many screen-shots.

Never.

Trust me on that.  ;D

I found that out too late. 

I thought I took a ton of them, but scrolling through them after shut-down I realized I wished I'd taken even more.  :(

[Des_Tructive]

I had too many screenies. So many that I almost through my PC out of the window when I realized the folder had been uninstalled as well. At least some stuff was still on Virtueverse.

Assuming it is there (which I don't) I'm gonna tear it all down and start over. Though some of the stuff I made towards the end was nice stuff.

But OMG CoH2 and the base building potential. >.< Sod leveling up toons. Base fu! (which is like kung fu, but less exercis-y)

It's a shame we'll have to waste time earning the dough to build the really fun stuff.

I get the feeling the first day is going to be a community effort to replicate Atlas 33.

My 1st day depends on what we get, but if I have to remake, I am going to make my characters and name sit :)

I wish I had done more screenshots and videos.  I have a precious little footage of a young tank taking on Dr Vazilok.  Badly done, but its still good to have.  A few more clips of dancing under the Atlas statue and one of my defenders street sweeping on Peregrine.  What I have makes me nostalgic.  I wish I had more.  Or best of all, to be able to play again.

[Alpha Series]

I kinda think a LOT of us will be doing the same thing...Rapidly creating and grabbing all our names back!!! ha ha ha ha! What Fun!!

[sindyr]

1.  Grin like a lunatic.  Try not to openly sob if I'm on Skype with SG friends.
2.  Speed Boost everyone in sight.
3.  ITF.
4.  Check WW to see what I've sold.   :o

Ohhh Speed Boost, my long lost friend!

Actually, we should make that official!

Although, we'd have to find an emote to transition to after the torch, something a bit more positive that we'd all have...

Not me, if we don't get our characters back I'll be grabbing brand new names!  Prolly only a dozen or so.

I only seriously want my favorite three... The rest of the crew would be nice, of course. I was very attached to some of those characters...
But when you really get down to it, I would be happy as little clam just having Kes and Pally and Nem.

[Des_Tructive]

There's one name that I'll attempt to grab, just to make sure no one ever uses it... with an A.

[hufish]

Unless a relative of his wants it, I'd think that'd be a fine, fine thing.  Until they can make him an in-game NPC.

Aim for 34 :P
