FA HQ?

[Anonymous]

I realize most people stay pretty busy throughout the game, but also I know that some of us get a little tired of the grind at times.  So I was wondering if there was anywhere that we called headquarters inside the Matrix?  If not, I think it would be a good idea to maybe have some club or bar(or whatever), that we could retire to when we just want to chat or trade.  This place could be used as a meeting point before special events to allow for uniform distribution and anything else we might need to get together for(ie: practice duels before an event, etc...)  

So do you think this would be a good idea, to have our own HQ?  If so, what places do you recommend?  I think the Pearl Phoenix Dojo would be a good place along with many other clubs/ bars.  It could even be a certain floor of a building or anything.  Anyway I think it would be nice to have an Official HQ, what do ya'll think?

I don't think we should make points of interests, such as the Dojo, our own.  They belong to all players.

I think we should get a HQ though.  I'm not sure what the devs intentions are about that.  They might give each faction a construct that only members of that faction could access.

If there's no construct, I suggest that we use some anonymous building in a restricted area, somewhere close to a hardline but hard for new players to find.

I imagine something like the housing projects in DAoC but on a much larger scale. Something like combining the battlegrounds with the houses. So The Collective could try and seige our base or something. That'd be fun, Tbone gets on the TS, "Warning, Warning! Sentinals coming in fast, GET BACK TO THE BASE!!" And we could defend it. The only thing they get away with is the pressure cooker and a lamp or two.

Doesn't Sound like a bad idea... It doesn't have to be flashy either just a nice meeting spot in a random building or apartment complex should suffice.

What about one of the projects in Moriah Projects? Are there floors that are accessable all the time? That's a place that's newbie filled, but not interseting to anyone else?

It would be great if the Dev's would allow faction "bases" that could be personalized! That is, if they don't give us our own construct.

Theres a really cool club, its called club duality, I think.  I cant remember where it is, but I think its in Moriah, and it's definately the coolest club I have been to.  It's in like a 30 floor building, and the club is on the top three floos, with a perfect are for dueling.

Yeah but any well known locations such as clubs, casinos, etc. will host social events and are going to be meeting points.  We want something hidden and anonymous.

Putting our HQ in a club would be an invitation for anyone to walk right in.

We can always duel on the top of whatever buiding we select.

That club sounds nice, but coredump does have a good pt.  I have found some smaller, unmarked bars that are pretty cool and I don't think these would be large enough to host any 'all inclusive' events so we could claim one.

HQ would be kickass, but i disagree with having it somewhere that "newbies" have trouble getting into, because we will always have low-level people trying to level up, and it's not fair to them to meet somewhere they can't get to

somewhere quiet would be good, though, near a hardline that's not hard to find but not very popular, either. and not ones that you jack in and you're dead before the screen even loads

MEH!

I'm on board with the meeting place idea. I have to agree that it should be just the floor of a building though. Nothing that people would actually want to check out.

somewhere near a hardline and the archive entrance would be cool.

I understand what you're saying Grim.  When I said we should choose a place that is hard for new players to find I meant non-FA new players.

I'm thinking that high level FAs would escort low level FAs to the appropriate access node and hardline as needed.

If we select a place that is close enough to a hardline, low level players shouldn't have a problem with local mobs.

The point is that we want a place that is hidden, remote and hard to stumble on by pure luck.  If we don't do that, we'll end up with a huge target on our HQ.  Either that or we'll have a line up of people at the door trying to join.  That why I'm thinking of somewhere in a restricted area.  I would also hope that we kept the location of our HQ a well kept secret.

See what I mean ?  Even the most furious of angel needs a quiet cloud to rest his head on

Tbone and I had considered/talked about this weeks before any other FA other than the 3-4 of us that were in beta.  I dont think it was ever really concluded because it wasnt as though there was a lot of us at the time - but there are an awful lot of unmarked bars very close to hardlines that would do perfectly. I had one place marked as a "Cool Spot" but it dissapeared in one of the patches, and I didnt spend any time looking for another cool spot.

Personally, I think we should have a public hangout, too. A club we frequent, like Club Duality, which sounds extremely interesting. I'm thinking of the roleplay aspect. Sure, people can barge in in a very hostile manner, but we're the FA! We can beat them down. We can be like the friggin' Mafia or something Hang out with the Furious Angels at Club Duality!

I am all for a HQ, I think that it is a great idea!  Even though if it is in a restricted area I would need to have an escort for sure!
