Let's say I take $\pu{80 g}$ of a weak base, dilute it with $\pu{50 ml}$ of water and titrate it with a strong acid. I get a titration curve. Now I take again $\pu{80 g}$ of the same weak base but this time I dilute it with $\pu{200 ml}$ of water and titrate it with the strong acid. What will be the new titration curve compared to the first one?

And here is what confuses me: 

On one hand, the diluted base should have lower $\mathrm{pH}$. But on the other hand, at half equivalence-equivalence point, $K_\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{pOH}$, and since it's the same base, $K_\mathrm{b}$ is the same, and thus $\mathrm{pOH}$ and $\mathrm{pH}$ at half equivalence point should be the same. I am also not sure about the end pointendpoint.
