This may be the one thing that will finally make engineers desired and worthwhile to play. The best towers should only be buildable by us, after all that's what engineers do!
Then again if it's simply down to highest trade skills the traders will walk all over us.

What about getting back on topic. This looks like it's a question regarding 'PERSONAL' towers which is something I'm interested in as well. The devs said individuals would be able to place these towers as safe bases for for hunting outdoors. Hell, I'm level 170 and I still don't have the free IP to get my Mechanical Engineering up to 600 to make a tower 20 levels below me.
I don't see there being an issue with Engineers/Traders being able to make the best personal towers. But from the link above, they appear to be the ONLY ones who can use the personal towers. And that seems to be only if they gimp themselves by pumping IP into tradeskills at a level that most of them don't seem to be able to afford them.
How is this concern so off base?
Please tell me how a Martial Artist is to take advantage of the Service Tower feature of the Booster Pack if what we see is all there is? All we need is a simple statement from a Dev that there will be other personal towers that other professions will be able to use.
Remember that this is a beta test database that it was ripped from, and an early one. Not all the items and functions are going to be in it.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were a range of personal tower choices with different skills to use depending on the functions they performed. But it would be nice if Cz could find out and post for us

Yeah, I'm not getting to bent until and unless I see that the one personal tower in the db is the ONLY personal tower that will make it to release. I mean, there really ought to be a tower that requires CompLit and Pharmacy to erect and operate for example. It could be a healing tower. Another that requires Time & Space and MatterCrea. It could pulse out friendly roller rats or something.
MA's will not be able to use personal towers since it has been decided that they have more than enough new stuff to play with already. It has therefore been decided to give the other professions some stuff to use for a change.Originally posted by Bionitrous

I'm an advent with zero IPs to spare. I wonder if this expansion is geared towards the 150+ player with tons of extra IPs

Well, if the articles and stuff are true, there's a limit to how many towers any one player/guild can place. The QL of the towers is limited by the PF. Presumably, the bigger guilds will go for the higher-level PFs, to get maximum benefit out of their towers. There's also a lot of real estate on Rubi-Ka.
My guesses:-
1) Lower-level playfields, lower-level players. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. Given the more realistic PvP level-limiting at lower levels, this should be chaotic, but it could well be a fun free-for-all. Maybe.
2) Highest-level playfields. I see the bigger, higher-level guilds monopolizing the highest-level playfields. More organized war, in fact, they're going to need to be extremely organized to grab and hold their bit of turf.
3) Mid- to high-level playfields. While the really big guilds might monopolize and fight over the highest-level playfields, I'm unsure as to how much of the high-level stuff they'll be able to control without spreading themselves too thin. For more mid-sized guilds, with a range of players in them, there should be some good opportunities to fight over the mid-level playfields. Probably a few high-level ones too.
It should be interesting to see how this is all implemented.

Can't have you ducking for nothing. I don't know what I'm throwing, though, as throwing weapons aren't in-game yet
