Player vs. Player Update 2.0
The following changes come with the PvP 2.0 update in Update 57:

• CQ Points now determine a Chevron rank for players as follows
• > = 1,000  CQ Points
• >> = 5,000 CQ Points
• >>> = 10,000 CQ Points
• "Most Wanted Redpill" has been added to DN1. The list is as follows:
• Top 10 Redpills with the most CQ gathered for each Organization relevant to each Instance.
• Top 3 Redpills with the most CQ overall on each Instance.
• "Deadliest Redpill" - Biggest CQ collector for the entire week (encompasses all Orgs and Instances).
• CQ's are now only granted to a player who kills an enemy who is 10 levels in their range.
• CQ's are no longer granted to all members in a team, but only to the team member who did the most damage.
• "Territory Battles" are now featured in the Mega City. Official rules are listed on DN1 with a video tutorial demonstrating the system.
  
  
• Rezzers are now flagged for PvP when rezzing a dead ally once the ally is successfully rezzed.
   
  
• The new level 50 Construct is a power plant located deep in the core network north of Downtown.  Organizational restrictions no longer apply as the entire zone is Free-For-All (FFA).
• Players will notice a new proxy located in Park East that will teleport them into a random spot within the construct as there are no organizational outposts or Sentries. 
• The locals (level 50-55) that dwells within the construct are called The Undead and serve under their boss, Necrosis (level 65).  Killing Necrosis may yield rare rewards for the one who does the most damage to her.  
• New luggables have been created and can only be used within the new construct.
  

Made some changes for my own amusement.  " />

But that brings lots of other issues, just give us team duels that can only be started when you're not on a mission, and you can't recon untill after all members of atleast one team are dead. Simple as.

Darkhawk wrote:

Please note that the texture corruption issue reported by Darkhawk above is Vista-specific (I double-checked those particular dress and shoe combinations just now in XP and they're fine there), probably not directly related to specific specularity levels, and has already been noted by him and other users in the "Vista Issues" tech support thread located here:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a few tips Rarebit:

Try updating your development system to Vista and get off XP immediately!  Then maybe you can see what the rest of us are experiencing.  I don't care about your working preferences are, or your personal stubbornness to use Vista.  XP is outdated and being phased out.  DON'T BE SO STUBBORN ABOUT IT!!  As a developer you should be working with the most recent technologies available.  If you work in Vista then you will be better able to catch the problems and report them to your engineers and they will be better able to find and fix the bugs. Like I said - you cannot do your job in XP and expect users to all play in outdated OSs and with outdated cards.  GET IT STRAIGHT and do what you are supposed to do!  It's not your job to turn your nose up at Vista and then use it as and excuse for all the faults you caused. 

And texture artist is not your forte'.  I don't like the recolor job your did on the black suits. They are far too black and lack highlights and the subtle bits they had before then.  They are pretty much ruined.  They are flat, lifeless and don't mix well with the environment around them.  A texture artist is supposed to use depth, color, environmental unity, realism, blending, texture feel and appearance.   Like I pointed out before in the update discussion thread about the glasses.  You put too much way too much shine on everything.  And you used broken textures and reflections that where not meant to be used.  Put it back the way it was and stop messing with things that weren't meant to be used in the first place.   And if you cannot or will not adhere or learn these things then I will suggest that they look into getting a new artist who can adapt and work with Vista and problem solve.

 It's not about what YOU want.  It's about what the customer wants.  That is the first and foremost lesson you apparently need to learn.  We pay $15.00 dollars a month to play a broken, outdated game that doesn't need anymore things going wrong with it.  And certainly not developers whom refuse to use the newest systems simply because they think they don't need to.  That fact outrages me the most about you.    "Oh well, She's using Vista ..." ... gawd!  Do your job and stop making excuses.

     

Save your $15.  No one is forcing you to play a "broken, outdated game".  If you choose to pay and play, then you accept the circumstances and the environment provided.  You're not paying $15 a month for "A Matrix experience of the highest caliber using state-of-the-art technology conceptualized only by the most creative geniuses in the Universe". 

Anyone who has been in the industry long enough knows that the only thing you get by jumping the gun and buying the shiniest, newest software is a handful of problems.  Case in point.  You may be l33t for having Vista but I'm sitting lmao at the fact that on my XP OS, my graphics are superb.

Couple questions for those of you that were at Fan Faire last year.

What were the things you enjoyed?


What kinds of things would you like to see this year?



This is just for my reference since I was on another project during last years Fan Faire.

Hmmm......I'm really sad, I went from 1 to 50 in under 6 weeks with barley any help, and no one even knows who I am  /cry  

But I'm not one to hold a grudge considering I've only started PvP'ing and that is how you get noticed in this game

Vemp.

I'm sorry to tell you that it took me exactly 6 weeks and 2 days to hit level 50.  And I must say why would you flame my post when I don't even know who you are??  Next time you wanna flame something i post make sure you know wether what you say is true or not

Next.

Wouldn't the next step be to.......... fix it?

The problem is though like GG said, because so many people use it it's become univerally accepted, exactly like that of the switching tactics exploit. Everyone knows that most if not all people use it whenever possible? You'll be suspending *alot* of people... :s

Stacking is not something that is univerally accepted! Nearly every person i know dislikes stackers, reports stackers, and if it was universally accepted, why would someone be banned for stacking?


Just because some people do it, doesnt mean it should be copied. Don't stack, report the stackers, and the problem will eventually dwindle itself out.

Exactly. People have been banned/suspended for stacking recently. Just report them. The sooner we drum out the exploiters, the better PvP will become.

And something that has to do with capes? More Details

It was raining as usual in the Mega City.  Trayen was sitting in his office looking out his window pondering what to do with the rest of his time in Matrix on this day.  Does he carry out a few assignments for Flood like usual.......does he call up a few of his family member to see what kind of trouble they can get themselves into.....or does he just remain were he is pondering were his family will take him?

It has been about 3 months since the emergence of Abaddon, when the 4 council members finally went public with the fact that we have built a city on the surface.  It was a tough choice for the four "Princes" of Abaddon as ShiX has so cleverly named them.  There was much doubt as to wether the city was ready to go public or remain in silence.  But in the end Lucadello, Pyraci, Bokuro and Inqubus had decided it was time.  Our defenses had been secured the location remained secret, they were very careful to make sure only a select few knew exactly how to get to the city,  So we went public to all, we let it be known our city exists, there had been rumours but no one quite believed the fact that humans had finally decided to come up to the surface to live once again.

It had been some time since Trayen's crew had docked in the new city, in fact last time they were there most electricity had yet to be connected, but all on his ship had heard the stories of the city bustling with activity these days, and they were eager to get to thier new home and finally have to no longer hide in thier ship.

As Trayen sat in his office overlooking Tabour Park his secured phone rang.  Trayen said to himself, "Oh you got to be kidding me, don't tell me this is another transimssion from Luca or Bok telling me I have to tell my Crew we cannot come home again".  Trayen picked up and answered his phone "Go ahead"  On the opposite end of the line he heard Bokuro's voice, always calm and collected when dealing with official family buisness, this always brought a smile to Trayen's face to hear Bok talking in this manner, because Trayen knew how Bok really is.  "Trayen we have some buisness to discuss, the council wants to see you immediately at the club, no excuses and no detours, we are waiting"  The phone immediatley disconnected.  Trayen turned off his phone, grabbed his jacket and headed out to the nearest HL.  Trayen wondered to himself as he made his way to the families club.  What did he do to aquire an audience with the entire Council, he has not seen them all together to meet with one person since....well he couldn't really remeber.  What informations have they gathered they wanted to share.  What job could they possibly have for his crew and himself.  STOP IT! he thought to himself, just get there as ordered you'll find out soon enough.

As Trayen entered the club he passed almost his entire family in the halls and out on the floor he saw Bourby and Sable dancing as always, He saw disch0rd sitting at the bar having a drink with eSk0, even his entire crew was there.  He passed Mercey and Devistate, as he walked by Trayen stopped to talk to Dev.  "No detours brother, better head up there, this seems big the council wanted everyone here when you showed up, they been waiting long enough don't you think"  Trayen nodded as proceeded up the stairs.  When he came around the corner he was greeted by Chloe and Abby, they were heading back down the stairs.  Chloe just gave a wave and went down the stairs, but Abby stopped quickly gave Trayen a hug as usual and whispered in his ear "Good luck hun"  and without a second glance she headed straight down the stairs.  Now the only people left looking at Trayen were the 4 council members.  Trayen couldn't help but wonder to himself.  Does this have to do with Nicho's deception, after all Nicho was Trayen's former first mate on the HvCFT Honore ,and perhaps the council felt maybey Trayen was compromised as well.  Again he thought to himself, Stop this nonsence just find out what they have to say.

Trayen walked up to the 4 council member and gave the usual greeting Handshakes all around with pleasentries exchanged as usual.  After that was out of they way Trayen realized they were all about buisness on this day.  "Trayen" Luca said  "Please stand next to Bokuro, we need to address the entire family and seeing as it has to do specifically with you, we want the entire family to see you for who you really are."  "Sir...." Trayen immediatly said "If I have wronged the family in some way please let me know, you know I server the city and the Merovingian with every ounce of energy in my body, I would never......"  Luca immediatly cut Trayen off  "Enough!  I'm sure the eniter faction know's who you are and who you serve.  Please just stand there and keep quiet this won't take long." 

 "Pyraci I'll leave the details up to you my friend, you are much better with these kinds of things then myself"  Luca said.  "Very Well Luca..." Pyraci said "All right my fellow Abaddonians we have all been through alot these past few months, the city had become common knowledge to all, we know the machines at 01 are not happy with humans coming to the surface, we also know Zion has had there own concerns, but please do not worry my family...........our locations is and will remain secret as stated when we built the city only a select few know where we really are and what our defensive capabilities truley are, so do not worry we are safe.  But this is not why we have called you all here.  We gather here today to resolve something that needs to be adressed, now We all know Trayen.  We all know what he brings to the city both in the Matrix and on the surface, he has proven himself time and again since Bok managed to secure his services from Zion, we know where he stands at all times and each and every one of us one the council trust him with our lives.  And knowing this and his immense loyalty to the city and the Merovingian's cause we have decided it is time for something that should have happened when we first started.  At this time we feel it prudent to create a fifth spot on our City's council and will be immediatly filled by Trayen.  He is now one of the five and shall be treated as such.  Please everyone welcom Trayen and know this.  This desition has been confirmed by all on the council, that is all we have to say.  Now Trayen would you care to address you family as a council member for the first time."

 At first Trayen didn't know what to say.  He was indeed honoured and would fulfill his new duties to the best of his ability, after all nothing really changes.  He still is loyal to his family and the Merovingian, so after a long breath he composed himself.  "My fellow Abaddonian's, I once again am in shock and somewhat speachless at the level of commitment and trust we have managed to achieve in our city, and if you will all have me I will be truely honoured to take a place by the sides of these men and do what is needed to ensure the survival of our City and the Merovingians cause.  You all know me, you all know what I bring to the table and if this is truely what the city wants then I will fulfill these duties with every once of my being." 

"Very well..." Luca said  "It is settled, you are now on the council and will be given all the proper rights and assignments that come with the role Tray......... At this time we ask that your entire Crew Jack-Out and go to the city, we shall all be waiting to welcom you,  after all your's is the last ship that has yet to see the city in it's nearly finished state and we look forward to seeing each and every one of you in the city.......come home my family you have done well and you deserve nothing less...."

((my apologise if this seems *CENSORED* or long winded, this is my first try at something like this I hope you enjoy it, and would appreciate and input, and Yes i know my grammar is horrible.))

I personally LOVE the elite commando suit. It makes my time as an MA that much easier. And trust me, after the people wearing the full suit get their butts handed to them by the MAs they will start to rethink their clothing options.

My example is the damage I did to Thebruceter. It was quite fun, and I forsee alot more easy CQs to come.

Good story once again ShiX.......keep them coming!

LMAO

"You two can kill each other for all I care"

Priceless!!

Wow. This thinly veiled flamebait disguised as RP is quite sad. Please keep this tripe off the forums. Posting things like this is quite pathetic. Try not to drag Consequence down into the trenches eh? Screw your OOC garb.......this is ignorant.

I'm not one to usually post in things like this but this thread was obviously created to try and elevate your e-peen a bit. Just....let.......it.....go. /vomit

The merv and by proxy his operatives feed off the very turmoil that the current machine/zion stalemate produces. It has allowed us to assume greater and greater forms of control over the existance of the matrix, the exiles that exist there, and more importantly the information flow through the matrix. If you interupt the operations of the merv there will be dire and even fatal consequences for those responsible. Remember even your "superhero" couldnt confront the merv directly. There is a reason he has survived multiple instances of the matrix outside of the machines wishes. As for your threat that you have spies amongst our leadership...while there are factions who have abbadoned [sic] loyalty to the merv they have quickly been removed from our circles of control and have found themselves truely exiled you may have dealings with them but they are of little or no consequence. Know this cupcake...if you buzz in the mervs ear expect to be swatted like the mosquito you are.

This one must be completley besides the poinr riiiiiiiiight.

But this wasn't a stab at Abaddon nooooooooooo it wasn't.

Next time you wanna rant about someones rp look inward to your faction as well.))

((Oh btw this entire OOC being dragged ic crap is really becoming childish and annoting on all side.  Lets all be fair and call it as we I see it.  Static and SO3 hate Abaddon, or just a few people in particular, fine whatever ,there are some in Abaddon that can't stand you either OK, GOOD now that we have gotten this all out of the way how about this NONE TALK TO EACH OTHER ANY MORE, ignore what people are saying on both sides already.))

MODS WHERE ARE YOU??????

I agree Spha.

ShiX's work is extremly descriptive and very well put together, i suggest you read his other story on RP forums.

I would also like to apologise if anything i have said in the past week or so has upset anyone.  As of this moment I will not be included in anymore of this stupid grade 5 schoolyard "My daddy can kick your daddy's *CENSORED*" **bullcrud**.

I wash my hands of this entire thing and ask that in the furture anything pretaining to this crap be done so without me.  You see me in game wanna talk or shoot the *poop* feel free.  I play to have fun and as of right now it's not fun anymore and I'm not letting this get to me any more!

 In closing I apologise to everyone  Static, S03, and any else who has not like what I have had to say.  You guys(by this I mean EVERYONE involved on both sides) wanna keep this going feel free I could care less now, just leave me out of it.

 Have a wonderful day everyone.

Sitting in his office overlooking Tabour Park Trayen collapsed into his chair, his cellphone hitting the floor.  He had just recieved and emergence call from Council man Bokuro, he had informed Trayen of the destruction of the HvCFT Executive, and the loss of Lucadello.  Trayen sat and pondered for a moment.  what would this mean for the City, for the operatives in the Matrix, suddenly Trayen felt an uncontrollable sadness, he felt the tears well up inside, but at that moment Trayen realized he had two choices, let it take controll of him and loose all composure or overcome it and compose himself, after all he was a council member himself now, he didn't have to luxury of sorrow he must get his wits about him, the city will want answers.  At that time he allowed himself one minute of grief, one tear to shed for his fallen leader.

Trayen then got up and contacted his operator. 

"Get me outta here now!  We must get back to the city.  The council must conviene, people will want answers"  Trayen said

"What will we do sir, the loss of Luca is a big blow is it not?" His operator responded to Trayen

"Yes..." Trayen said  "It is indeed but we all know how Luca was and he would not want this to overcome our dream of our city.  Don'y worry my friend all will be fine.  Luca was our greatest warrior and diplomat, but remeber there are four council members left and we will continue this dream, our city will thrive as it has, we will all grieve for Luca in our own way, but right now we need to get home.  Just........just get me the hell out of here."

 "Understood sir....." Trayen operator sounded somewhat comforted by Trayen's words. "Your usual exit is waiting for you, everyone else aboard the Honore is here waiting for you sir, come give the word and we shall go home."

((Well, what else can I say Luca.  You were the best of friends here and the best leader I have seen in this game.  You will be sorely missed by all here.  We've had our ups and down since the formation of Abaddon, but we will kepp it going bro.  No worries, you got my number and my MSN, don't ever be afraid to give me a shout out and let me know things are good.  Tell Jazz I said hey and good luck with the baby bro,  I for one will miss having you around.))

((Good luck and God speed my friend.  We will keep a light on just incase you ever make your way back to us.))
