According to my account page, I get my 24 month Vet Reward today — two years of playing this thing, complete with ups, downs, triumphs, tragedy, and (best to me) spending time with my wife doing something geeky.
More items for Bases are available at this level. Now players get a selection of the City of Heroes comic-book covers that they can add to their base as small and large posters. Players can select this reward an unlimited number of times.
A new power is also granted at this reward level: The Emergency Base Teleporter. Now players can access their Supergroup’s base from anywhere in the world. This power has a long, interruptible cast time so players won’t be pulling it off in combat, but makes up for this by granting extremely convenient access to the base.
Level 15 characters will also have a whole new set of titles that they can add to their character name. Simply visit any Trainer and check out the new titles that are available.
The base teleporter is probably the keenest item. (Though it makes me wonder — if you leave the base by the “front door,” where does it put you?) Margie, at any rate, indicated her insane jealousy (she hits 24 late next month — I got her first involved in the game with a Valentines Day free account).
Anyway, thanks to Doyce for getting me hooked on this thing (no, really, thanks). It’s been a long, fun road, and I’m still enjoying the drive.
The Base teleporter is the bestest thing EVAH!
Well, as long as you have a SG/VG with like, all or almost all of the Zones to teleport too.
Say you are in Perez or the Hallows and you want to go to Talos or PI…TP to Base, hop in the teleporter and boop, there you are.
*Warning: may cause partner irritability while they slog around the old fashioned way. ;P
Yes, it sounds pretty spiffy.
Parallel to that is the Pocket D membership (which I went ahead and splurged on for me and Margie), which makes P-D available to you anywhere, as well — via which Talos, Kings, Founders, and Boomtown. Almost as practical.
Question (again): If you tp to your base, if you go out the glowy blue exit at the front, where do you end up? Or can you?
Haven’t tried that yet, though it should be easy to check.
Kick. Ass.
1. Goes through the Pocket D teleport sequence (very slow, white shafts of light) … long pause … and then …
2. You get a prompt (while you’re standing there casually in the background) for what base in your Coalition you want to enter.
Um … yeah. Would be nice if the prompt came up first, but what the heck.
But the Kick Ass part is … when you go back through the base entrance … you return to where you were.
Niiiiiiiiiiice.
