And there's an entire level of Enter the Matrix devoted to staking vampires in the Merovingian's chateau.

I belive Hammerline is Zee, and L is Link....

But why refer to her as "Hammerline" and not Zee? Also, why would Zee want to join Niobe?

I was using either a Data Extractor 1.0 or 2.0 in Chelsea when I was attacked by a new kind of NPC called a "Data Simulacrum" (not to be confused with the Viral Simulacrum witnessed earlier). They look much like the Viral/Antediluvian sims. There details can be found on my Character Details page. There at the very bottom, above the "Data Sentry" entry.

Inside the data cluster that spawned upon their defeat was an Experience Code Amplifier. There was one other thing inside the cluster, but I can't remember what it was. I'm very sure it was something like a code frag, nothing massively important.

I joined the beta in early October. When next month comes, I would have been playing this game for a year. And I'm certainly not stopping.

One question that's been on a lot of players' minds for a long time now is this: where do the Machine and Merovingian redpills go when they're not jacked in and not on their hovercrafts? It's doubtful that they're all living in Zion. Many of us have assumed that they have bases somewhere in the real world.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was more of a question for Paul Chadwick. ^^;;

But at the end of the day, we don't know anything for a fact...not even if they're alive (their last appearence was when Niobe/Ghost blowed up a tunnel in the Mansion's Catacombs, but it's perfectly possible them escaping, as they did notice she was doing it).

Wasn't there last appearance in Reloaded? Persephone killed Abel, so he's dead. The last time we saw Cain was during the Chateau fight scene. Neo kicks him through a statue. I doubt that killed him, so he could be alive.

ya able is gone and you woudl be surprised what a kick could do when hit in teh right place. and even if he is alive ya think the merv woudl keep a oviously usless program around after that show?

Good point about the possibility that the Merovingian got rid of Cain after what happened. But the reason I doubted that Cain was killed in the battle with Neo was because he and his brother are "notoriously difficult to terminate", as Persephone said.

From what I've seen, this happens because the game's "hit or miss" calculations are completed before you can take cover. I rarely lag and this still happens, so I highly doubt it's lag.

(Sorry to intrude. I honestly didn't know about CloudWolf's request until now. I was there because Rarebit says he sometimes sits in Debir Court as the Oracle, so I decided to hang out there in case the Oracle showed up. ^^;;; )

The virus actually deleted Skinner, he was like "What's happeni--- DELETE SKINNER.AGENT" The virus is that last part of that message.

That could also have been Skinner deleting himself. There are mission Simulacra that sometimes say commands such as "protect.area.funct".

Personally, I've heard both explanations for Skinner's death from official sources. I wouldn't be surprised if this was important in a future event.

Is anyone keeping track of the storyline as it's advanced in the Critical Missions?

From what I can tell, very few people are keeping track of what's happened in critical missions. And there seems to be little in the way of inter-organizational discussions about what has happened in their respective critical missions. Also, it seems that most of the people who do keep track of the critical missions only keep track of the Zion critical missions.

FeralBoy wrote:

Since I'm new to these critical missions, I have no idea how far behind I am in the story. At the moment, I seem to be at the point where the story was a couple of Live Events ago. Is it possible to miss a Criticial Mission, or do you players get to play them all no matter how late they start?

Older critical missions are replaced as the story progresses. Which is why I'd like to see a mission archive simulation in the game (or at least something, either in-game or on the official site, that can be used to read about or experience past missions).

FeralBoy wrote:

I've been taking extremely thorough screenprints of all of my Critical Missions so far, so I've got all the official dialogue that has been spoken. I talk to the same person more than once, just in case they say something different the next time around. If anyone who is keeping track of the storyline is interested, I can provide them with what I have so far.

I'm glad to hear this. I've also been doing something like this. Not only for the critical missions, but the neighborhood contact missions, and the "introduction and seduction" missions that all new players go through. Unfortunately I've only started doing this in recent months, so there's a lot of older critical missions that I missed. And I had to create a new character in order to document the "introduction and seduction" missions and the neighborhood contact missions that I missed documenting.

I heard that Neupheroty or waht ever her name is isnt going to be in the events because of the server merger.

The only thing I've heard concerning Neurophyte and the server merge is that Paul Chadwick apparently has some kind of idea to fix things. *shrugs*

Oh, and I just remembered, it's likely that Enmascarado is dead. I guess it's not 100% confirmed, but Enmascarado did said that his RSI was rigged with a "nasty surprise" that would be unleashed upon his death. That nasty surprise was the fire virus. Also, he was defeated by the Assassin, which means it's possible that the auto jackout overriding killcode was used.

What happened to Geemasker or what ever he is.

Gemaskeerd is still alive. If he wasn't then I certainly would have mentioned him.

Well, I've only read the first volume of the comic books.

You don't have to read the volumes. All the comics are on the official Matrix site, (well, all except the three new ones that appeared in the second comic volume, since they haven't been uploaded yet) including the ones that haven't been published yet.

And then there's what I like to call the "missing comic". For some reason the comic is on the website, but there's no link to it. It's called "The Man Who Knew Too Much", and it was originally a series one comic.

Just change the number in "WWW1" to "WWW2" and so forth to see the rest.

The last I heard, Sophia Stewart's case was dropped back in June or July.

I'm open minded about the whole thing. But so far, Sophia Stewart doesn't seem to be a very stable person from my point of view. In one interview I read, she referred to birthdays as "pagan holidays". Hmm.

Here's a thread from The Matrix Community forum where they discussed Sophia Stewart's case being dropped ...

http://thematrixcommunity.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=004123#000017

Also, I remember reading a thread in another Matrix forum where they talked about Sophia Stewart selling audio CDs about her claims while her case was being worked on. This was apparently a very compromising move on Stewart's part, at least according to some law knowledgeable people who posted in that thread. I'm not sure if I can find that thread though.

Thank you PigeonKing. I appreciate it when anyone talks about the non-Zion missions. ^_^

"mez" is MMORPG shorthand for "mesmirise" which is odd because we don't have mez in MXO. we do have pacify tho, which is wot i think it's supposed to stand for for some unknown reason.

In beta, the term "mez" was used by players when they referred to the pacify state. In fact, I think the game even called it mez back then.

Actually, when you first meet the Effectuator, he says "The Merovingian made them specially for me". They're Lupines that have been modified for stealth and infiltration. They don't teleport, they can cloak. And Operators can't pin down their location before they uncloak, they can only see intermittent signals where the Dire Lupines are. Their skin is even darker than a normal Lupine. According to their Details, "Some trick of pigmentation causes this character to appear as if always standing in shadow. Their eyes, by contract, look preternaturally bright".

And for those who missed the Effectuator's Details, "This man's jaunty bearing and bright summer clothes form an unusual contract with his neatly groomed, graying hair".

Other than bookmarking them or saving the links somewhere, the only way to view back issues of the Sentinel is to go to MxO fansites that have links to them. Here's a good one.

http://www.mxoarchive.com/sentinel.html

You can even read some Sentinel issues that have only appeared in the beta so far. But they may be spoilers, so watch out.

I just found out about this a short time ago, but ... the old Warner Bros. site is gone. SMILEY

Those links are now useless.

Doesn't the official Matrix site have a store somewhere? It sells sunglasses.

It's probably extremely difficult (if not impossible) to do this accurately at this point in time. Most people didn't document the older missions, and most documentation that exists now concerns recent critical missions. So most of the older criticals would have to be done by memory, and that doesn't always guarantee accuracy.

This is one of the reasons I'd like to see a mission archive simulation.

dataslayer wrote:
Well heres the deal. on MxOArchive there is a timeline of what has happened along with other various stuff. There isn't any of the criticals listed here yet.

In Stack's journal at that site you can find entries where he describes a number of Zion missions dating back to the first set of criticals. They range from descriptions and some dialogue, to entire transcripts of some missions. I go there when I need to refresh my memory of some missions.

Usually, green represents health, but when an NPC is killed, a green animation is displayed. What am I missing about this?

The NPC is using Health Pills to keep itself alive.

That would be really awesome, because all the mission texts and audio files are just too great to end up somewhere in computer archives or in forum threads that are forgotten long ago.

We'll be able to replay the old missions when the historical missions hit the live servers.

Thank you. I'm always glad to see people documenting the missions, especially the ones I don't have easy access to.

2 player dance emotes, what do you think of the idea?

Alll right I'll skip to yours. :p

It's not a bad idea, certainly, although I'm not sure we have any looping two-player emotes right now (do we? I'm not really up on my two-player emotes, what with playing solo most of the time *sniff*), so there may be some technical issues involved in doing that.

It would also probably take a lot more time to animate than most regular emotes.

Ages ago, one person suggested that two player dance emotes could work with a modified Interlock system. I thought that was an interesting suggestion.

It does make me wonder if these contacts need to update once in a while, red eyed agents and the PDA arcs are quite old now, many new players may not even know who they were unless they have been reading mxostory.com and catching up on old events.

The PDA in the Silver mission isn't a reference to the false Agent parts of the storyline, so that doesn't need to be changed. Maybe the false Agent ambushes need to be changed, but not the PDA.

So then, has anybody actually seen anything strange going on in game recently? I've heard that Agent Gray is supposedly not right in the subprocessor anymore, as well as some other stuff, but I have yet to see any of it. Everything seems totally normal from my end.

Agent Gray attacked several people at Mara Central last week.

a game telling the story of seraph. from when he worked for the merv (we think) to when he jumped ship and started working for the oracle. (Path of seraph?)

Shiny was actually working on this, until the Wachowskis called them up and told them to make a Neo game. Makes me wonder if the Wachowskis gave in to some kind of pressure. I was more interested in the Seraph game than a game that's just a rehash of the Matrix trilogy.

lol i cant use the XP Tool or wotever anyway as im already capped at 50 but......i want the morph missions

There was a special Morpheus mission that was available for a limited time the day before Morpheus was killed. Completing it rewarded players with a tool that, when used (or recycled, as I found out), filled up one "bubble" in your experience points gauge.

Players also got to escort a few level 255 Agents at one point. Anything that got in their way was slaughtered. It was very fun. ^-^

Sweet! Tell everyone there that they did a great job, Walrus. Several of the bug fixes are things I reported back in the Monolith days. Plus, it's going to be nice to have more than just Aikido sims via the Proxy disciplines. ^-^

Edit: Oh, I'm glad that we'll be able to see Neo's partial RSI now. I never got to see it in-game, even when a dev showed it off on the test server back when CR 2.0 was being worked on.

Rarebit wrote:

b) special requests from Paul Chadwick are definitely not jokes

I think it's cool. It's nice to see old story-based stuff again. Especially ones I haven't seen in-game.

ZaneZavin wrote:

Hmm The Machines don't seem to be thinking very logically. I mean if the partial rsi is available, couldn't it be tampered with?

Well, if the state of Neo's Insight is any indiction, it's inactive. That was one of the purposes of the first event: gather more fragments than the other organizations in order to gain power via Neo's Insight. Neo left it to help the organizations fight off the false Agents.

Unfortunately most people don't see to realize this since practically everyone (including myself) thought it was some form of ressurection plan of Neo's.
