Congrats Virrago!

Vincent for a boy, Vina for a girl! SMILEY

So... was there anything about their playing of MxO after the surprise comeback in the recent poll? I flipped through the cast but didn't hear any mention of it or the poll...

I saw the file Char_Children.pkb getting patched... have they fixed Stretch-Sati?

Awww... I thought you were authoring a childs book...

Have fun!

Here are some links to pretty much my only attempts on enhancing anything in a screenshot. I'm not too good at that sort of thing and I can't draw to save my life although I guess practise makes perfect. Anyway if these are of any use to you then by all means. I was going for a kind of Megacity Noir look whilst on the trail of someone... I'm afraid that they are only fairly small though.

Megacity Noir
Megacity Noir 2
Megacity Noir 3
Megacity Noir 4
Megacity Noir 5

I shall look for other peoples work and ask them to post here if they want to provide their work.

By the way, then can do and have done character transfers back in the day. Just not to Vector, only from. I'd say that a system to pay for character transfers should be set up, so that the game has another source of income at least. I'm pretty sure that Vector players would welcome any players transferred over, even if they didn't have to endure the grind. Lets be honest with ourselves for a moment without letting the 'server pride' thing into the equation. Vector's population is hurting. Badly.

They have done, but do they still have the function? That type of function would be good, but as you say server pride may be an issue with a portion of all three servers, didn't some Vectorites complain about people who's main characters are not on Vector turning up to events?

"They can even make a district or area hostile as an idea. "
been trying to get that to happen forever on syntax... best we got was hostile zones which didn't last long and constructs which is just too much time to get back in.they do have a passive zone tho *sigh*. i can understand your choice, i'll be happy with a non hostile server merge, just arguing the comment that a hostile server takes anything away from the game. god forbid some CHOOSE to /pvp without advantage or numbers.

All I was suggesting was making it a hostile server would take away the choice afforded to most of the population (relying on apparent server population). Merging it into a non-hostile would not take anything away, imo, it would give an added choice to those who never had it and don't rely on it. The ideal solution would be a box in preference you could tick to flag you permanently, while still allowing those who don't want to be perma flagged the /pvp option.

I still don't feel that a server merge is necessary though.

does everyone in vector pvp? they don't rp there? with the vast amount of space and hl's i'm sure rp will still take place. they can even make a district or area passive as an idea. i doubt hostile takes away the other many things to do in mxo lol

Does everyone on Syntax or Recursion RP? Don't they PvP there? With Mara C and all other places to congregate i'm sure /PvP will still take place. They can even make a district or area hostile as an idea. I doubt being primarily non-hostile would prevent you from getting your CQ's.

Personally I'd prefer to decide when I pvp hence why I don't play on Vector. Its how people some people play, hence the choice. Take away the choice, risk losing more people than we're losing right now.

"Regardless of any apparent low population total there are still those who want to play this game how they want to play. Until you get a 100% pro forced PvP population, then forcing PvP on everyone is a good way to lose more subscriptions."
no one is forcing pvp on anyone, oh wait we got vector for that. those who do what they do can continue to do so, but just like some who don't like pvp, there are alot who do and don't like rp or w/e others do. no pvp is making us lose subscriptions as well. a merge would populate both venues.
"How about an all server merge... of course it would have to be hostile... so you people know what real PvP is... Fector FTW!!!"
so real pvp is being able to gank low lvls at will and those who go afk? if syntax was like that i'd have a feast with lowbies and afk/dancers/chaters ...lol real pvp hahaha... i sure would like that tho ,merge em all and make it hostile

Try reading my post properly in the right context. He suggested to merge them all and make it hostile, hey isn't that forcing pvp on people? Oh yeah!

A merge would quite possible allow both types of people to get more of what they want, but the suggestion of forcing pvp on everyone, when simply typing /pvp has the same effect on a non-hostile server, would quite likely mean losing subscriptions.

And seeing your last sentence, once again is that not forcing people into PvP?

I'm sure Virrago has absolute faith in the MOD team to keep things under control while he's away... SMILEY

The best argument I've seen for not wanting this is over-crowded Events. But bare in mind with a merge suddenly the liaison's have doubled, the requirement for someone other than Rarebit to play LE characters becomes essential. Multiple Org events happening at once, multiple player events, no one can be everywhere at once, I'm sure you'll find it wouldn't be that bad.

The bold part is the exact reason why I wouldn't like to see it happen. The best reason why I've seen for it to take place is perhaps PvP may be a bit better.

As for the rest, if Rarebit wasn't playing all the main characters who would? As much as I trust players to be liaison characters, I don't like the idea of someone who doesn't have a fully contracted job with MxO playing the main characters. This includes continuity, the same person playing the same character in the same way, a way that Rarebit has established already. Without a proper in house team, big events as you suggest would be open to error and miscommunication and could possibly deviate from the story already preplanned by Rarebit at the beginning of the update.

Unless they play MxO, chances are they'll be there to spam the profile up.

Just an observant eye!

I'm phully aware of those three... will probably delete. But no spamming will happen phrom them as I have to approve all comments and such. " width="15" height="15" /> So phar, they've not tried anything, so I have no reason to delete them... yet.

I think they are just there to.... entice the Male members of the community to visit their sites outside of MySpace....

Gotta agree with Zudrag.

Mind you, I'm seeing quite a few Bored Vectorians and Recursionites around on Syntax lately.

But yeah, Server Merge? No thanks.

Hey... since when did double-clicking on a friendly person default to Details? Was it this patch or another?
Well whenever that was, THANK YOU! No more accidental mission team invitations!!
Plus... when did the Demon Army Trench get a colar?? I never noticed it 'till now.

Occurred in the patch before the winter update. It was including hostile NPC's also but people were so used to double clicking to attack that Rarebit changed it back for hostiles and kept the change for non-hostile targets!

Bullet time speeds up the animation for one client so that it can slow it down dramatically for a moment. The other client sees the animation over the standard amount of time. So... Although finishing animations should be seen by both clients, only one should see it in bullet time (unless they both have constant bullet time turned on. " /> )

- Void

I would prefer it if the system allowed for both players to experience the same bullet time. It's the same fight might as well both experience the same one. Although arguments against could be that bullettime is linked to your own mind and the opponent doesn't necessarily view a move on the same level as you do... oh well. I'm been through quite a few moves and they all look fab!

The most important purpose is for MxO to at least have a presence on Myspace. It certainly can't hurt, and 'will' get us noticed.

Of course! (and don't you mean phor?) SMILEY

It still brings up the normal launcher to select Characters though doesn't it (I installed it on release and very quickly went back to the normal launcher to wait until they fix a few things such as the friends list etc...) so instead of one program opening up the game program, with the SoE launcher it'll be a program opening a program to open the main program. So unless their plan is to bypass the normal launcher when it's finally out of beta (and if it has decent skin settings relevent to the game selected) I'll stick with the original as long as I can. I'd prefer a simple and quick login to a fancy launcher with bells and whistles, most of which would probably relate to other games...

Oh, I use it for spying on the game without launching MxO itself.

Peeping tom!

Re-downloaded it this afternoon, still lists every persona I've ever had on any SoE game, even if deleted (Probably due to the SoE policy of keeping names attached to accounts... if it's deleted free it up... please....) doesn't distinguish between the same friend by multiple characters, doesn't load up my account details, when enter the friends pane it shows my friends that I'm logged on but on all 3 servers at the same time!

It's shiny but until these things get sorted out I think I'll continue to use the normal launcher...

Thats all changeable from the privacy settings of your friends network preferances. I only appear online as my main when i use SL.

So it is. Well I still have to wade through multiple instances of friends and through dead characters. I've mentioned it already before on the station forums I think but I think it'd be nice if they could correlate multiple instances of friends into one and have the ability, if unable to delete dead characters properly from the account, then at least hide them... I never realised quite how many characters I've made...

I am really excited about all of the fixes and updates... not just the winter additions but the bullet time tweaks and the interlock animation fixes too!

<3

The issues I have were posted very soon after the initial release of the beta launcher by a number of people.

[Edit] What Proc said... got there before me! [/Edit]

Hmm... I remember when, as a lowbie, I went into one of the first archives I saw another player of an opposing org. Now the way I set up my mouse one of my buttons targets the next hostile and as some of my faction mates know from datamine, I don't always pay attention to exactly what I'm targetting. Anyway I shot him I think for two rounds of combat before realising but he was complaining bitterly before I'd even stopped firing.

So really what I'm trying to say is that some lowbies (those that are newer to the game) don't see Archives as a place to pvp but rather as a place to farm and being flagged is a hinderance. Also I guess that lowbies might think about pvping in a construct if they are at the maximum level allowed because they know that, they won't be ganked.

Another problem for lowbie pvp is numbers, you don't often see many lowbies at around the same level.

I predict a slight increase of lowbie pvp or at least duels. Now that meeting will occur on all three servers for the orgs, many people will be willing to create and level a lowbie to go to them. PvP/Duels... It's something to do whilst waiting for the transporter beam.

MxO Staff have requisitioned the server for test purposes...

I wish...

What is strange from that letter is this sentence...

A concern that occurs when merging servers is Character Name conflicts. What happens if there are two characters with the same name from the two servers? Who gets the name and who has to change their name? The rules below will help to explain the different scenarios that may occur during the merge process as well as the rules for Outfit Name conflicts.

Now MxO can't have two people with the same Handle and I'm sure it's the same with SWG (could be wrong, it's been a long time) and with the launcher having that friends list... So is planetside working with a completely different system?

PPPPPPPPllllleeeaaaaassssssse?

Actually, it was made that way so you don't invite people with double clicks. Double clicks didn't do freefire but /invite =/

I remember the Remove Double click Invites thread where people were asking for this change, and I think it's great! No more accidental invites and I have my mouse set up so the thumb button starts close combat and the button for my lil' finger starts freefire....

I only thought that it'd be easier for people to find the pertinant conversation in a single day's log or smaller than it would do in a months worth (Using Proc's example) or so but I guess if you're used to it then it's fine...

BTW is there a useropts line that can be used to change the location where the log is written to? I got my screenies sent to a custom folder and would love to have the chat log written to a folder in the same directory...

*yawn* another boring patch without much content added. I sometimes wonder why I still play. when does a patch come out that has something worth getting instead of a useless sword or ugly trench coast with not much buffs. I would like to see a patch that doesn't focus so much on mission type o's etc etc... and focus more on content.

Content alone doesn't make for a decent patch, the dev team have worked their asses off for this update, which includes 3 new peices of clothing and an FX reward when usually we only get an FX reward, couple this with a big hotfix coming to sort out bullettime and IL bugs.

Plus every FX reward we've had is only useful for screenshots and for showing off for a bit of time (or if lucky... perpetually). With that, seeing as the sword is only cosmetic, it fulfils the category perfectly. I would prefer a patch which has a healthy mix of bug fixes and content like this one.

I wonder how much work it would mean if Dracomet or any of the Dev's decided to put in a numbered incrementation for chat logs the same way that screenshots are numbered and incremented. So instead of one big log, you had smaller ones. One for each time you start and stop a log...

Grats on the impending landmark. It's a great Archive and an added search function is just what was needed! (^.^)

MA or Guns, not to disparage Hacker/Coder/Knives etc... but MA and Guns are the iconic Matrix classes and as such I prefer them and have more fun with them.
