Just ran a Merovingian archive mission where the Merv is trying to figure out why the machines would choose humanity as their sole power source despite being so inefficient, operatives consult the oracle in regards to early machines and what really happened during the first war (since it questions the validity of the Zion Archive files) where she replies along the lines of "not everyone hated the machines for being good at business and it wasnt just business the machines were interested in". This in itself is an obvious allusion to the intruder colony but whats more interesting is the conclusion at the end of the mission after having scanned the 01 Taskmaster's coding...

Early machines around the time of first war were relatively simple, not creative enough to solve problems in unconvential ways. It begins to question the machines ability to have 'evolved' to their current intelligent state by themselves and suggests an early realiance on human beings.

So heres what comes to me: First war sparks, the intruder colony back the machines, theres an agreement made whereby the colony will help further develop the machine civilisation (since they wernt intelligent enough to do it themselves) and work on the technology (or allow controlled access to the already made reversal technology as alluded to in a recent merv crit) to operation dark storm, in exchange the machines are not allowed to slaughter humanity but instead are told to preserve them as a power source sealed within a giant interconnected neural simulation.

And there lies the crux of the theory. The Matrix was developed, or at the very least masterminded, by The Intruders and not The Machines. The Architect, the maker of the matrix, may well have been coded directly by one of the intruder colonists (backed up by the intruders obvious powers over and deletion threats to him).

/discuss and share your own theories.

just looking around the mxo directory wen i found this file

The Matrix Online\resource\missions\definitions\sponcers

it seems to list all the contacts in the game, but at the bottom of the page it also shows all the organsational controllers (tyndrall, gray, flood)

whats the most interesting is that veil is listed as a controller. Btw, if no1 knows veil is the leader of the masked men that was recently captured by zion but it looks like she could get free and become a controller for the possible upcoming 4th org, the masked men.

interesting no?

i remember there being a point in some long past patch notes about a system of letting us know which mission contacts we've completed fully from the mission screen being added.

well it doesnt look like it did get in despite being in the notes and over time its just been forgotton.

i for one would like to know what happened to it and if it could return? cause i think it'd certainly be helpful and surely not too hard to get in-game.

First off, yes i know this shouldnt be here and yes i know i have absolutely no reason to post it but what the hey.

Im out for the night guys, PROM!

Argh! Wish me luck! >.<

Ouch, those pages (notice the plural?) are a lot better looking than ours were

Plus they're banner is bigger than ours was (ours was only have the top of the page)

And they have a link to the direct drive downloads

:smileysad:

It'll be interesting to see how its download numbers compare though...

MxO = 41,602

Has anyone actually looked at any of the other SOE games forums? Type in 'matrix' in the search bars and you'll find nice little thread titles asking bout if anyones tried mxo and if its any good and all the thread is is hate. Loads of n00bs just saying oh it sucks my b*lls and to avoid it like the plague etc etc.

i just think its bad that this game is hated so much and that utter a**holes are corrupting others into thinking the same way :smileysad:

oh and btw, it seems we're the only SOE community that uses actual pictures for our sigs rather than masses of huge multicoloured text :smileytongue:

The more i think about it the more it makes sense and the more passionate i become, it's not every day i post over here and i hope people like the idea.

Ok people, what are your thoughts on the idea of making player's missions, as they're leveling up, 'force' them into appropriate level neighbourhoods/districts?

Just think about it for a second, it'd provide such a nice progression to the game and get people the hell out of those slums and apprechiating/exploring/using the rest of the world.

Perhaps the single greatest mistake i see is people grinding away in the slums and missing everything else out there till 50 when all that old content is useless to them.

I think if the above system ever were implemented it'd do wonders for 'filling' the game out.

As an extension to the above, when they reached 50 they could mission wherever they wanted - that make end level nicer too.

It'd keep things interesting throughout also - having to deal with mobs of your level (ah - i remember the exileration of avoiding/fighting mobs)

On that tangent, it'd give the game more nessecary outdoor fighting (which doesnt spaz out as much as mission area fighting)

Come to think of it, that'd make it that much more 'on your toes' and 'matrixy' too.

And give that much more purpose/incentive to access nodes.

Note: There are new/other ideas being discussed later in the thread

Yup, after a year of having basically the same sig i've finally changed :smileysurprised:

I think this time of the year is worthy, lol.

Simple, quick, yet straight to the point and effective imo.

Dont worry, after the anniversary is done and dusted ill more than likely be straight back to my old one :smileytongue:

Comments?

A personal pet peeve of mine is how the items are arranged/grouped in the marketplace. For example how theres a whole range of tool subcategories when most are now redundant.

I'm just saying the devs should go over the item databases and change how certain items are categorised - or at least how the marketplace current displays the current groups - consolidating them where needed and the such.

I mean, why oh why are my story items randomly scattered around my frags, bits and tools? =P

It seems the latest patch fixed the bug that caused your glasses to auto change when you have an archive key equipped but why no mention in the patch notes?

Discuss.

EDIT: ah bull, typo in thread name SMILEY

Heya, iv just been wondering for a while now what the submitted bug box in /ccr or /bug actually means.

Does it mean do you know if its a known bug or does it have to be selected yes for it to be submitted as a bug.

Always confused me thats all and id like to know so that i can help better mxo more efficiently :smileyhappy:

Nothing Will Ever Change Unless We Make It Known

Servers are down... er... why?

Hey, you remember how Rarebit said background music was manually assigned according to game space? Well why not use one of the unused mission secondary tracks for datamine like he used Niobe mission prmary for the white halls?

Those things were always intended for kinda higher drama/tension moments (why i always said they should be used for critical missions and the primaries used for standards but hey) so they'd fit the FFAPVP setting pretty well i'd say.

Thoughts?

This event is seriously f***ed for non-PST players

I mean, its pure favoritisim, how come those living in the US have the chance to fight the assassin once and for all and get a mask off seraph when other players get screwed over like they dont even matter, its utter BS.

The worst thing is there was a simple solution, should've ended the event yesterday. it was just a waster day anyway and most non-PST timezone players actually had the chance to stay up late as it was a saturday, i for one cant go staying up till 3 o clock in the morn again 2nite, some of us actually have things to do be doing monday morning!

Utter BS...

Simple enough request, add an xp/info trade in on the SSR Gum like on Binary Boy and the revamped Uriah. Was just farming farming there and didn't really understand why the doctor doesn't follow the 'new' collector spec is all. It'd give those of pretty much any level a reason to go there, even if they dont want/already have HJB/Mobius.

First off im not too sour bout missing it cause of the great videos people took nor am i gonna say anything about the mask as its been stupidly over discussed.

Im just wondering when the finale actually went down timewise.

You must realize the truth: There is no post. Then you will see it is not the post that has moved, only yourself.

(Moved to Missions and Storyline)

Right, soz if this is a lil ranty but its nessicary.

No more excuses walrus/soe/whoever!

Fix DN1! Make it the shining glory of MxO it once was!

I think (hope) i speak correctly when i say more or less the entire community is starting to get a lil peeved about our official website being BS....

Here Here!

You must realize the truth: There is no post. Then you will see it is not the post that has moved, only yourself.

Yo guys! I know i don't post much over here in RSI land but this time its important so listen up! hehe.

Just wondering if any of y'all would be interested in helping a little fluffy cloud animal out by undertaking a nice little picture project for me?

Get to the chase i hear ye cry! So be it. Basically im thinking of a nice 'Matrix Trilogy Architect TV wall of memories'.

What? Why? Well, as i undergo the recently annouced pictoral overhaul of my storyline work i find that i am left with a large blank page with nothing but a link to the old DN1 matrix trilogy recap for chapter 1.0

Now i was thinking, all that blank space could be used up by something truely beautiful, something truely magnificent. Realising of course such a thing was beyond my meager abilities i doth turn to thou!

So, what ya say?

As many of you probably know Awakened Radio were meant to be having an exclusive interview with the one and only Mr Paul Chadwick, story writer for MxO.

Now my question is this, what ever happened to it? the sites been saying 'next week on Awakened Radio' for about 3 weeks now :smileytongue:

Has it already gone down and i missed it?

K, this has annoyed me for SO long but for some reason iv never posting about it. Any1 else noticed how the item vendors model is selling guns while weapon vendors are seeling cds?

Now i know what im supposed to do, /bug it right? been there, done that and several times too.

Ao i urge all of you to do the same, /bug this and lets get it fixed yeh?

Now while a little bit of info has been posted about the masquarade and how its gonna work but im afraid it isnt quite in depth as is needed.

Some questions still pop into my head...

1) Are the JOL gonna be actual items or static pieces of the game world?

2) When can we actually start mask hunting cause the DN1 updates says about the morning of Nov 1, surely thats not right is it?! I thought thats when all the halloween stuffs gonna be de-activated...

3) Are the masks gonna be single use then dissappear or are they gonna be re-usable?

Please Walrus or anyone who can answer these questions with offical evidence please do, or indeed if you have any other questions or agree with mine feel free to post here :smileyhappy:

Any of you who have done the new criticals will know what im on about.

It seems very leading up to the introduction of constructs as a player thing (player owned housing idea) to me.

What do you guys think? i personally pray im right, man that'd be kick-*CENSORED*.

Now i personally never got ebough documents for the immunity but i was wondering their still actually tradeable?

if so, im interested in buying one, post here if ur willing to sell.

Oh and to keep this open and applicible to the general forum, does anyone think it will be used again? i personally dont know, i mainly want one of memoir purposes...

Heres hoping it can live up to the obvious expectation, the first two were pretty dang awesome if ya ask me SMILEY

Heya guys, just looked down at the recently logged users and i happen to see the name 'Ashlanne' in admin red, so i clicky and lo behold it really is an admin, any1 know of this person or what they might be doing here? Or better yet, Ashlanne, could you introduce yourself?

I've been working on this document archiving the story of MxO for a long time now and have mostly kept it to myself, but not anymore! Its here for the taking people!

Now you might be asking yourselves why bother reading this? theres plenty of story archives and info out there already. Well, one reason is that most of stuff out there already is simply links to DN1 and forum threads, this is the down and detailed story, in my own words it tells of all happenings in-game, DN1, sentinal, everything. in a pretty detailed but user friendly manner too if i dont say so myself.

So i urge you, have a read, enlighten yourself, you may be surprised by how much you learn.

Oh and feedback is more than welcome, have i missed something? tell me! have i got something wrong? tell me! I want to make this as good as can be

http://rapidshare.de/files/7936785/Storyline.doc.html just scroll on down and click 'free' then scroll again and click the link, easy peasy.

And yes i do know about the multi-board posting but im only trying to get the word out, the people need to know!

Well i noticed with the email system we got a nice new information icon but my question is this, why the hell not use this instead of the purple 'pure' disks we have atm? That icon was a left over from a failed concept anyway, might as well change to the far better one...

Besides, i've seen on the redpill rescue forum people getting confused by the 'pure' disks, its just pointless not to use the new one imo.

Thoughts?

"Screenshots, movies, comics and all related media type files should be posted in the Residual Self Image forum. Thanks."

Actually i think the rsi forum is for players to show off their creativity in the form of movies, sigs, wallpapers etc, not for any thread that has a screenshot in it :smileytongue:

Screenies are a vital part of threads, cant have every one of these general threads that blaintangly belong here moved just cause they have a screenshot in em :smileytongue:

Anyone else from the UK been experiencing price increases?
