Good to see this occured on Vector too. Should Recursion be suiting up ready for the commandos or have they already visited?

That depends on whether we can squeeze any more commandos out. But something else is in the works for Recursion, anyhoo...

Ok why is it that we cant go to any floor of any building we want? and the door of the elevator only opens when its a mission area.

The floors you can't get into are reserved for other people's mission areas.

The white hallways don't have any visible game objects in them, so the problem (which crops up with these cards under Windows XP when they try to render game objects in interiors) wouldn't come up there. All the doors and things you see in the halls are static props or world geometry, not game objects.

EDIT: Oh, that mainly applies to the new ones in International, with the commandos. The ones you use to get to the org areas do have some actual Door objects in them, which may have the slowdown issue (hitching as they enter the field of view).

Skull086 wrote:
Why hasnt the "Your jump exceeds the limits of the matrix" bug been fixed yet? like it said it was fixed but it seems to be worse now.

Possibly because we don't know of all the instances in which it occurs. If you find one that seems to happen a lot, /bug it, and include as many details as our QA will need to reproduce it here.

It's pretty much luck.

Niobe invited the first two Zion factions she came across to the meeting. The Mervs just found it somehow, those clever chaps.

Oh! One thing I should mention. Sometimes a Live character will hold a "private" meeting with an individual or group. In those cases, we will tend not to post the details of the meeting ourselves, but maybe just an edited screenshot. However, if those attending (or crashing) the meeting got any chatlogs or screens themselves, they are very welcome to post them in replies on the thread.
I see...so do we pm you about that or do we take matters into our own hands?

Just feel free to post the private meeting stuff yourself once I get the teasing event thread posted.

Would it be possible to have like 4 or 5 part missions as just standard missions for lvl 50s?

Everything's possible, but this isn't very likely to happen. Come to think of it, it's highly unlikely. It's hard enough getting a random procedural mission system to come up with three phase missions that kind of make sense.

In Dev Journal 01, Archon mentions much needed updates to the in-game Marketplace:

Marketplace

We are also working on some significant improvements to the Marketplace. The Marketplace should be a great tool for players trying to buy and sell items and the current system needs to be re-tooled. Improvements are focused around expanding the design and fixing broken or user-unfriendly issues. Our goal is to implement an overhauled Marketplace before the end of the year.

As you can see, he says the goal is to have it implemented by the end of this year.

So my question is: How are you progressing with the marketplace and what new features can we expect to see?

EDIT: **bleep**, lol Thanks for answering our questions HCFrog!

Who is your favorite character from the matrix universe and why?
Btw whoever modeled the new veil rsi owns

Message Edited by Abigor666 on 12-15-2005 12:29 AM

I'm split on that one. For having fun, the Merovingian: the ultimate bon vivant. For getting deep down into the messy guts of the Matrix, the Oracle.

To answer your non-question (see how sneaky he is?), I pieced Veil together from existing parts--if you look close, you'll probably recognize most of them, but maybe in different colors. Tinting skin in our NPC RSI system is a bit of a pain, which is why only her head is exposed. I took some glory shots of her a month or so ago, but then realized my AA had shut off (darn task-switching on my vid card!) so they were all jaggy. :{ Maybe I'll see if Walrus will let me post them anyway.

what are the doors used for?
aha!!!!! gotcha! lol
Message Edited by bonopi on 12-15-2005 12:38 AM

There are proposals on the table for doing something with them, but it is unknown if they will work smoothly. Maybe the QA server will help us with that somewhere down the road. No promises, though.

Currently, they are used for cool screenshots!

Chuui wrote:
Could the screenshot feature ever be updated so that instead of the first ten images being numbered 0-9 they are numbered 00 to 09? It would make managing screenshots just that little easier... (even better would be 000 to 009 and so forth so the first 999 screenshots are easily managable...) I know, future release question and all... I'll abort it for yah. *click*

When choosing the name Enmascarado for one of the masked men. Was there any hidden refference to the zorro series or are my theories wrong?

Message Edited by Abigor666 on 12-15-2005 12:58 AM

No idea, but if that name occurs there, then probably yes. The old LET team came up with the name, as far as I know.

From Bonopi:

is anything being done about changing the color of the characters who are talking in a crowd to a different color so that everyone can see what they say in the sea of stupid people saying dumb things in area chat like "I love you Niobe marry me!"?

What is your redpill name?

Same as my forum handle. I'm old school. I also haven't logged in with that character in ages, but months and months ago when I was freezing in my old Monolith office, rubbing my hands together to stay warm in the broken air conditioning, I used to log in with Rarebit, dance near newbie hardlines, and give cryptic answers to people who stopped to ask me questions while trying to come up with crit mission ideas. That was back when /dance prevented you from getting kicked for idling. Ah, those were the days.

Hey Rarebit, how's it goin'?

Man, this forum stuff is addicting! Walrus never let me log in before, so I didn't realize that the forums tracked how many unread posts you have in each thread. "What? A new post! Must click!" It's like crack! Not that I would know anything about that.

Do you guys listen to any in-game radio stations?

(just in response to LET characters showing up to two unadvertised Split Infinity parties)

Answering for myself: not on a regular basis. Once I blundered into a club with my alt though (I was looking for cake, to tell you the truth) and found some French Merovingian players having a party and advertising their radio station, so I came back with the Merovingian, and he brought the cake, and I practiced my French and only screwed up bad once!

By the way, your handle is familiar... Were you the one I froze and forgot to unfreeze that that Death of the Destroyer faction meeting? Darn, I forget now.

And that actually sounds like our party you stumbled into too :smileyvery-happy:
Message Edited by kingcaw on 12-15-2005 10:28 AM

A full-fledged quest system, integrated with our super-complex interior mission system. But now that I've said it, you can be sure that it's never going to happen! Muhahaha! Man, that's a weight off.

Ohh I think I froze you because you were shouting Cypherite stuff or something. There's a time and a place for loud roleplaying, but during a Live Event speech is not that time. Of course, I could be remembering this all wrong.

Pound on the QA server when it goes up, and keep posting on the forums!

That looks like RAM on your video card going bad.

(In case you don't think KingCaw's post is a question and skip it....)

In the releases about the combat upgrade it mentions that stats can no long be increased by using stats.

Are the existing items just going to be replaced in our inventorys or grandfathered like has previously occured?

(Probably future release so won't get answered but meh!)

Jeffers

That *is* a future release question. However, I will say this: in the future we will not be "grandfathering" items by having them decay rapidly except in the case of extreme exploit-type emergencies. The whole thing with the old Richland/Westview dungeon loot decaying was an implementation of an old team practice that was not re-examined sufficiently by yours truly. *sigh*

Would you like to join the Vector faction for QA? :smileyvery-happy:

I don't think you realize what you're asking. The only way I win fights is by meatwadding people--and they probably wouldn't let me do that too much in QA.
