Virrago,

I don't know if you are aware, but a reputation point is very rare when you get to the last 10 point or so. (Max is 127.)

Does this fix translate to an increase in liklihood of earning a rep point at those high levels?

I'd say it's just to prevent the exploitation of certain kinds of missions.

No it doesn't it fixes a situation where it was possible to Farm rep points without completing a given mission.

Bullet Time = a whole new MxO.

My favorite so far is the Karate Power Finisher, where the player kicks their opponent mid air. I haven't seen the one where the player jumps and does a spin kick, yet. That will be most promising.

Edit: Actually, I'm just wondering -- this new patch has made it so that we only see our own moves in bullet time, right? It's something that I kind of how I thought was the way bullet time was supposed to work in the game during Beta, though didn't. Although, finishing moves seen to be seen by both clients. *Shrug*

Winter Event ROCKS SOCKS!
Thx Rarebit!

Bullet time speeds up the animation for one client so that it can slow it down dramatically for a moment. The other client sees the animation over the standard amount of time. So... Although finishing animations should be seen by both clients, only one should see it in bullet time (unless they both have constant bullet time turned on. SMILEY

)

I would prefer it if the system allowed for both players to experience the same bullet time. It's the same fight might as well both experience the same one. Although arguments against could be that bullettime is linked to your own mind and the opponent doesn't necessarily view a move on the same level as you do... oh well. I'm been through quite a few moves and they all look fab!

Best part about this update? I'm running around doing stuff and guess what, I bump into people along the way. Makes the game feel way more populated. SMILEY

If only for today/tomorrow.
