Sadly.... people in game says a lot of things that are not true. I made a video to show the Lair.... but will make another video once I put my Base Items in it. It will show some of the walls where you can put some BiG Base Items.
So they fixed it the next day (funny how they can fix the stuff that will cost them money super fast but not the stuff paying customers paid for at the same time and give no acknowledgment of it) But the first day I redeemed the base on all my toons and was able to send the base item boxes to my main … I did about five of them … was gonna go back the next day and do the rest and lo and behold they made it to where you couldn’t trade the base items.
Is there a way to get this base theme on the test server? I would like to harvest visuals of the amenities and location data and a map for the DCUO wiki. AP
Two minor quibbles I have with the new fortress lair first: why is it the league hall size legacy of krypton statue is exclusively for league halls? we’ve had League hall size statues that fit fine in the manor and hall of legends bases I was planning to make the legacy of krypton statue the centerpiece of the entrance hall or on the lower deck of the outside area. Second:I wish we could fly out over the water to see how our work on the place looks from a distance.
I appreciate the new lair addition and look forward to more variations. Constructive criticism regarding this base: 1. Every other iteration of the Fortress we've ever seen ingame, movies, animation is that it is HUGE and Grandiose. I don't get that feeling inside this lair, it feels more like an Ice Bunker or Ice Cave than the mighty Fortress of Solitude. This lair should actually be large enough to put full sized League Hall only items inside to stay more in the spirit of the Fortress of Solitude 2. I think after all these years it's way past time to allow for the unlimited placement of amenities/base items. You can't place anything on the entry platform and barely anything outside for this base. The "outside" portion of this base is one that I have clamored for for many years and I'm very happy to see it finally come to fruition but also disappointed with the lack of flexibility to move around more outside (onto the top area and down to the water in particular) and scan the camera out to get a nice view of the base. 3. Also I've never understood why the base items we receive are always so much smaller than their counterparts in the missions. The "large" Kal El parents holding the globe (why is it Earth and not Krypton btw?) is way too small and should be a huge League Hall sized item that most would use as a centerpiece in their lair. I've always enjoyed the scale of this game except for the lairs. With the exception of a few rooms in the Manor and HoL lairs the ceiling heights for all lairs need to be raised significantly to project a larger space. The League Halls ceiling heights are fine (need more layout themes in that area also but that can be discussed in another post) but other than statues and a few other items the general base items we are bombarded with are grossly undersized as well. I'm not a programmer by any means so I can't speak to the scope of work this request may entail however I feel we need more base item sizing options and flexibility to maximize player design potential and enjoyment.
I agree with you FOR THE MOST PART... however, the height of regular bases should stay the same. yes... some should get a nice big room... AS A VARIANT BASE... but if they raise the height of the rooms, they had better give us taller wall and Barrier Items too. I like being able to mask them and create new spaces with good immersion. Personally, The manor base is not to my taste because the regular base items are too short for good immersion. And it's near impossible to mask the stairs. BUT... That's just my humble opinion... Personally, My gripes with the FoS base are 1, You can't place anything on the entrance platform... so much void space... It would drive me NUTS... 2, The armouries still not displaying our avatars... 3, The hit boxs are BRUTAL so clipping items to make cool fetaures or slightly change things to give better immersion is difficult, especially with the new sunstone items... (Which look amazing BTW great job!). I don't see crystal cave being so box shaped so liked the idea of softening the corners with the sunstones, but you can only do so much lol. I personally think there should be three size categories for base items... Regular, Large, and League Hall. Take Insulated walls as an example In a regular base, they are AMAZING, give coverage floor to ceiling and are brilliant for creating new spaces within a bas... BUT... put it in a Manor Theme, and it loses that power as there is a MASSIVE space above it. Or... Ceiling items... You really can't use most ceiling items in a Manor or HoL base as they are designed to sit at eye level of a regular base... In say... a HoL base, they are too far up to make an impact. Now IF you made regular walls, then Larger walls for the Larger vases, that would be amazing! Mught even tempt me to finally build a Bigger base. I have one... I just haven't worked on it as I was disheartened by the difference of base items compared to the Base itself...
Something not mentioned in the announcement is that there are additional new Sunstone Fortress base items on the Cheetah vendor in the Hall of Legends, items not in the Marketplace pack and not previously found in game.
