Players who choose to use a Station Access account with MxO will get a bonus 30 days added to their full Station Access pass after their first billing period with SOE post the MxO billing transition.

Actually, it's Brenlo's job to come in here and promise stuff that makes me do more work. Heck, he's even called me a slacker on the forums already!

Seriously, though, I'm talking with the team about being on the forums more. Of course, then they'll just promise things that make me do more work, too. <sigh>

I'm sorry that you're having trouble getting help with your account. Boombye's suggestion is a good one--hope it works for you.

Let's stop the flaming, as well. SDKane apologized--everyone else should be happy with that and get back on topic.

I don't have an answer for you, but I'll move this to the Tech Support forum and see if you can get an answer there.

This thread has degenerated into flaming, with little input regarding the OP's message. For those of you who turned this into finger pointing and attacks, the same rule stands: If you have an issue with another player or group, work it out in private, ignore the person/group, or send in an abuse petition.

Global Collect is an option for subscription--we already have people who have signed up for the game using that option.

I guess my question is: Are you not seeing the option or are you having problems once you select that option?

Actually, I have to give mad props to my old buddy Thoth for my sig. (Although I will thank Draconis for temporarily hosting it for me. SMILEY

)

I responded in another thread that Global Collect is an option for MxO and we already have players subscribed with it. Are you not seeing the option or are you encountering problems after you select it?

The old forums, as far as I know, are gone for good--I did announce that there. The announcement about the archiving was for the old world forums pre-merge, not for the forums post-transition.

I know there was a lot of good stuff there, but there just wasn't any way to bring it over or store it away. It's a brave new world out here.

Ah, thank you for the clarification. I'll see if I can get an answer.

While we still want your feedback on the forums, now that the /bug command is working in game, I'm shutting this thread down. Thanks for all the information, folks!

Any time there's a Patch System Error (when the server is up, which it is at the moment), generally the first thing to try is a Full System Check. Accept the EULA and on the log on screen, select Full System Check. Then log on and see how it goes.

For every 1 point of a Stat above 5 you currently get a 2% bonus on all Influences associated with the Stat.

I say "currently", because this is one of the designers' "levers" to use in balancing the game. The actual % bonus is subject to change after testing.

There is a bug that causes bonuses to Block Tactics to be added to Special Attacks. There is a fix for this issue in the next update to the game, which is scheduled for this week pending testing results.

Attacks on other players or groups is prohibited on these forums. If you have an issue with a player, deal with them in private, ignore them, or send in an abuse petition.

Do not post negative comments about another player's behavior on the forums. If you wish to ask a question about a situation, please do not use names.

Do not attack other players or groups on these forums. If you have an issue with someone, take it up with them directly or submit an abuse petition if the situation calls for it.

Also, posting profanity on the forums is prohibited--just because the filter catches it doesn't mean it's okay to use it.

Have you converted your account from WB to SOE? I'm assuming you have, as you're on the forums, but felt I should ask the question.

You'll want to talk to customer service about your problem. Moving thread to Tech Support in case TSR-Joel has an answer.

This is one of those nefarious issues that seems to creep back in due to other changes made in the system. Using the bug that allows you to equip weapons you don't have the appropriate Ability loaded for is an exploit and will be treated as such.

Attacking other players is prohibited on these forums. If you can't keep it friendly or constructive, then please don't post your message.

Any time you can unload an Ability and retain the benefits from having it loaded, it is a bug and an exploit. The severity of the exploit depends on the level of the benefit. If you have information on bugs/exploits, please /bug them from in-game. If you encounter someone using an exploit, send in an abuse /ccr from in game.

Attacking other users and making posts that deliberately provoke attacks are both prohibited on these forums. Keep it friendly or don't post at all.

From now on, I'm declaring all "Why aren't the servers up?" posts "flamebait". Folks, this is a test server and we have, understandably, stability issues at this time due to the massive changes to the game. We put the server online, see there are issues, collect as much data as we can, then take the server back offline to work on the problem. It's stated right up front that this is the playtest server and may be taken offline at any time.

I'm asking our team to look into it. Hopefully it results in a mass-fix like the last issue did. Sorry it has taken so long to be resolved.

Crew and Faction Recruiting forums are for just that. Please take other discussions elsewhere.

I believe we'll have an answer later today. Stay tuned.

This thread is specifically for players to comment on anything that seems to lead to a region-server outage. If you do something or see players doing something that often or always seems to lead to stability problems, please report it in this thread. (Assuming you can't get a /bug off in time.)

Thank you for your continued help in testing the Combat Revision 2.0 changes.

As I have said previously: Threads complaining about the External Playtest server not being available are going to be locked for the following reasons:

1) It has been explained up front that this is a test server and it may be taken offline at any time.

2) We are experiencing stability issues at this time, which means the servers may go offline on their own or we may have to bring them offline as we investigate the problems.

Once we resolve these problems, the External Playtest server will be made available as close to 24 hours a day/7 days a week as we can make it. No one is getting "ignored" by the team because they aren't near our time zone.

We're fairly confident it isn't the number of players in an area. However, with a large number of players in an area, the chance that at least one will do something that is causing the problem increases.

Every single time I try to buy an attribute hack I crash. It is very consistant, and very annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah, and guess what else it was crashing. SMILEY

It turns out there was a bug occurring when people purchased a Hack when they already had one. Patched today.

It seems there was an issue with players having an RSI Hack in their Inventories and attempting to purchase another one. An update was applied today and seems to have done the trick. Thanks for all your help!

Who else bets the temp forums are gonna be chaos? lol.

Actually, we'll give everyone admin status on the temporary forums. I figure it'll be less than 1/2 hour before everyone has banned everyone else and it'll be nice and quiet. SMILEY

Back by popular demand...er...okay...

Back because I like it: The old Ascension "flying car" bug!

http://TheMatrixOnline.station.sony.com/images/en/screenshots/Forums/Ascension_Monument_800w.jpg

As far as gameplay goes, there is no actual first-person camera in MxO. The reason is: Interlock. Waaay back in the day (pre-beta), they tried it out. Unfortunately, while in Interlock, the constant flipping and spinning made some people physically ill.

Let me step in here for a minute: I agree with those who say it's at least someone *trying* to put together an event. How about helping him/her learn to do it better rather than smacking him/her around?

And what's this about "no-no's"? Obviously, a player can't make The Kid or The General appear for an event. But someone please tell me when false or misleading information was against The Matrix canon.

If you want to help a person understand what potential community faux pas s/he is commiting, please do so. Who knows? The person could turn out to be a good event planner with some direction.

If you find you're wanting to lash out at people who come up with possibly over-the-top event ideas, then please keep your posts to yourself.

It seems odd that one server would have problems but not another. Forwarded issue to our DBA to look into.

Let's try this again, folks. Sans flames.

We're moving this back to Player Events, because that's what it is.

All your baseball hats are belong to us.

Well, for a few months more, at least. SMILEY

First thing is to check out the Known Issues list. If you run into something on that list, we already know about the problem.

PVE Balance

While this is only NPC Revision 1.5, we need to know where things are with PVE. As I mentioned elsewhere, you should be plowing through the lowest-con levels feeling like a badass. The closer you get to yellow, the more of a challenge it should be. When you pass yellow going up, it should become difficult to impossible by the time you hit purple.

What feels right? What feels wrong? What situations work and what don't? We're already working on the next pass, but we need your feedback on PVE.

Combat Feedback

While the Special Attack miss effect is, um, missing at the moment, other feedback has changed. Special Attack hit effect is there, as is queued up (red blinky). There are the red circles on the ground to show hits and there's the removal of Tactic points and damage absorbed in the combat spam. Play around with the new system and let us know how the combat feedback feels.

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs!

With the introduction of the Spy tree and Sniper Discipline, new combat feedback, and NPC adjustments, there are bound to be bugs. The faster we squish them, the more focused we all can be on the overall feel of CR2.0. Please report as many bugs with as much detail as you can. The team appreciates the help!
