Does anyone watch this show on Adult Swim?

It's the most hilarious show I have seen recently. It's basically a bunch of
mature parodies on anything with clay animation, and it's made by Seth
Green who does Family Guy, too.

I highly advise to check it out, you won't be disappointed!

I jacked into Ueno to check out Bishop Imports and these Niobe followers that are popping up around the area. I started to kill off a few spawns to see if they dropped anything, but was disappointed in what I found.

I procede to go to the Loading Area to take a small break and when I jack back into Ueno I see this:

While Zion clearly was the dominant force for the most part, it was refreshing to PvP in a totally different environment. Ueno had many narrow alleyways and rooftops, so there was lots of up close fighting, unlike the open areas of Mara or Camon. Unfortunately, because of the spawns, the lag was pretty bad, but we should PvP in different areas like this all the time to mix it up. Here's a sky view just for fun:

Good fighting everyone! SMILEY

I'm looking into aquiring any previous items that cannot be obtained anymore, but can still be traded. Some examples would be:

Oracle's cookie
a PDA
Insecticide
Ability pill grants
Assassin's Mask (j/k SMILEY

)

I'm sure there's a ton more, but even above I am not sure if they can be traded. If you have something rare, check to see if it's tradeable, and if so, post here and let me know, and we can work something out!

Just wondering how many PM's people have on these forums.

I currently have 62.

The FilePlanet 10-Day Free Trial began on May 1st through the 16th, and throughout that time, the client was downloaded 39,667 times with a total rating of 4/5 stars through 758 votes.

Throughout the free trial, there was tons of positive feedback from both completely new Redpills, to returning Redpills that wanted to try out the new combat system. While you can't please everyone, just taking a look on these forums, both in General and Redpill Rescue, you can clearly see the satisfaction that most new players are having, and how they will convert their account to paying subscribers after the trial is over. What's even more satisfying, is that a lot of these new Redpills are veterans to the MMORPG genre, many have experienced other big-title games like EQ, EQ2, SWG, WoW, etc. and saying how surprisingly good that MxO really is, and how it offers something different. The main reason they never thought of MxO was because 1. There was no trial but most importantly 2. They really didn't know about it.

If I was SOE, I would see this and act upon it. When you have long-time MMO players come in and say MxO is a great title, then you know you are doing something right, but in order for this game to truly get off and become massive is to expand upon one thing: content. The biggest gripe from new players is generally the lack of anything to do besides grind repetitive missions over and over, and of course we have the gripe of veteran players of nothing to do once you cap out at level 50. Now that CR2 is done (minus balancing issues), I think it's time to get some much needed content to this game. Content that would benefit new Redpills and veteran players who have been here since March of '05.

First, level 50 cap content. I think the easiest solution to more content for capped players is to expand on the one thing that makes being level 50 enjoyable: PvP. Some solutions to make PvP fun, exciting, and worth something:

1. Design a system to make CQ Points worth something. So many possibilities with this one. Could be managed for a ranking system that can be used both in-game and out of game. Example: design a list of the top CQ gatherers on each server every week, similar to what Agent Gray wanted in this thread, and post a list on DN1, adding in a message like "The following Redpills are extremely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs in combat" or something accomplishing along those lines. More ideas can be found in the Development Roundtable forum, like this idea from Inguss.

2. Territory Battles inside the Matrix. Each Org can take over or be taken over across multiple HQ's around the Megacity. For example: the Kalt Chemical building (the lobby scene) can be defined as a Machinist HQ, which would be guarded by level 50 guards. Devise a system where Zionite or Merovingian operatives can "take over" the building and hold it until Machinist operatives group up and take it back. If you played PlanetSide, then that's how I am sorta getting at.

3. Organizational incentives to joining, having a bigger bonus to joining for the "losing" Org to balance out the sides and to make things interesting.

Doing the above three things alone would provide a great amount of content for months for capped players, and give more incentive to PvP and reach level 50. The game shouldn't just stop becoming fun once you reach cap level, it should be the other way around, where the game just begins at level 50. This would all come in something like a "PvP Revamp 2.0" SMILEY

Then of course, killing all the nasty balance issues and bugs:

Neuro-Dart
Style Stacking
Group Heals
Animation and ability bugs (Sniper)
PvE bugs (NPC's evading)

Development Roundtable stuff mostly above, but just wanted to throw out ideas that would both keep new players ot try the grind to 50, and keeping old players, and getting old players back from other games to try all the new PvP content. But now more than ever, we need some marketing. It's clear SOE picked up MxO as a "side project", but I think if SOE invests money into MxO, it could become one of its best games on Station Access. I'm sure E3 was a great start (where are pics, Walrus :p), but also adding other internet banners, possibly commercials, and to re-package the game and sell it back to retailers, among keeping the D2D an option. Costly? Sure. Worth it? According to SOE, no, but as this thread was created, going by the free trial, I feel if MxO had a bigger budget, with more Devs working on the game, and possibly even re-instating an official Live Events Team, this game can clearly be the leader of the pack. And this is a snowball effect. More subscribers means more income for the Devs, which grant more staff, which can lead to better and quicker content, more live events, and possibly even future expansions down the road. The community is set, they have been nothing short of extremely helpful to all the trial players, and our current Dev team is top notch, we just need a little push from SOE to get the ball rolling, SOE should see the free trial as only the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks for reading this! SMILEY

Pretty simple. These are about as good as I can make them, I don't know any advanced options. SMILEY

I'm looking for level 50 Enhanced clothing - GI's, shoes, gloves - that give Melee/Thrown/Ballistic resistance.

If you have any, please let me know and I'll contact you in-game. SMILEY

Anyone have pictures/video of the MxO display for E3, or saw it there yourself? I'd like to know some more details.

The above is for anyone wanting to know what PvP looks like if you're a Machinist

It is no doubt that organizational imbalances have plagued this game since its release, but recently it has just gotten worse. As the above picture demonstrates, that how I have to PvP roughly 95% of the time. It's either the Zerg, the Merg, or a combination of the two in which they fight with even numbers, like above.

Practically, there is really nothing to end this. It's moreorless the game's fault and not so much the players. The game starts you out as Zion, and doesn't offer any benefits whatsoever to persuade you to join the Machinists or the Mervs. Perhaps in the future once Organizational benefits are introduced, the equation will balance out, but who knows when that will happen. The fact that the playerbase is small also is accountable I suppose, but who knows if a larger playerbase would make it even, it could just further the imbalance.

For all new Redpills, I strongly encourage you to check out any Machinist factions out there. They do not light up the screen like others, but the ones out there are true and solid. The Collective, Chambers of Shaolin, Mega City Dept. of Energy, Rakshas, and HumaTronic to name a few. There are even some Cypherite factions for those who have more radical views than traditional Machinists, however we bear the same Machinist tag, and therefore can work together in PvP.

PS. This isn't a whine thread, but just throwing this out there to see if anyone agrees or perhaps to get people to sway the sides to make it more even. A longshot, but worth the try! Until then, I'll be in Conceal sniping the 20 reds in Mara. SMILEY

Duel Points (DP) would be like CQ points, except obtained through winning duels. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to add.

Also, /teamduel please!

Is it just me, or is this move way more powerful then it should be?

First, it rarely, and by rarely, I mean never misses. I have Hyper Sense activated plus 230 Thrown Resistance and I still get hit each time. The downgrades aren't too bad until you reach -75% Movement Speed for 30 secs. It's basically the new stun, lasting for 30 seconds where you can't do jack squat, and it also lowers melee/ballistic accuracy and defense to boot! I suppose perhaps if you could only use it once and awhile. Nope! With an 18 second re-use timer and a whopping 20 IS use, you can throw it at your leisure. This usually ends up with the MKT running away, applying a disguise, and then doing a Suplex. Rinse and repeat.

Neuro Dart needs to be toned down a bit, at least so you can somewhat capable of doing something when hit instead of stand their and do nothing.

Now that most of us have been playing under the CR2.0 in Live for a few weeks and have gotten a lot of the higher level clothing, I wanted to see what everyone was wearing for PvP and what resists you have.

For me, I currently use a Rifleman/Sniper build and have a general resist setup that focuses more on Ballistic/Viral resists than the other two (Melee/Thrown).

Clothing is:

Glasses: Enhanced White Silver Shard Glasses
Shirt: Enhanced Black/Light Gray Machello Jacket and Tie
Hat: Enhanced Archer Fedora (lv 49)
Trench: Enhanced Lavender Yoshi Asiri Trench
Gloves: Enhanced Barrelhead Gauntlets (lv 50)
Pants: Enhanced Black/Black Hosh Chap Pants
Shoes: Enhanced Magenta Stripe Dada Shoes

Total: 138 Melee | 221 Ballistic | 168 Thrown | 201 Viral

That's also using Hyper Deflect and Hyper Dodge plus stats and abilities loaded.

I also have 4 setups that max a particular resistance depending on who I am fighting. The question though is, how can I macro these where if I click the macro button on my hotbar, I can wear them instantly? Does anyone know how to do this? If so, please tell me! SMILEY

How about everyone else?

I'm looking for any level 48-50 buffed:

1. Suits (Dress shoes, plain or arasiki pants, shirt/tie combo, trenchs, shades) in any color really (white, red, black, green, etc.)

2. Dusters (Any color)

3. RocaWear (Only the Seaman Jacket styles, any color)

If you have any of the above decomped or know someone who has, please post here or contact me in-game and we can work out a price!

Thanks. SMILEY

This is the third itteration of 1337ness.

The cycle continues.

Straightforward sale.

Contact me if interested.

I am pretty sure this has been brought up, just because it would seem like a topic talked about, be it in another form or not, but I was thinking to add attachments to certain guns, such as red lasers for aim, scopes for better range, silencers, lights, etc.

I know the game already has some of this, such as silencers, but you either loot one with them or not. The idea is to have the attachments seperate, and then you can just hover the attachment over the specific gun and it would add it automatically for you.

Another idea to go along with this is the introduction of slots on guns. Three slots would be the max, with no slots being normal. 1 attachment takes up 1 slot, so say you loot dual SMG's with 3 slots, you could add silencers, lights, and the laser aim, and the description would change accordingly "Silenced Lighted Dual SMG's with Laser" for example.

This is mostly just for show and flash, and something to loot and look for to customize all your guns. Some restrictions are involved, an example would be scopes can only be equipped to Snipers. 22m normal, and the scope would add 5 more meters.

Comments, questions, concerns?

Hey, anyone have any cool wallpaper, sigs, banners, etc. for V for Vendetta?

I'll probably try to create some sigs, but wondering if people already have some things! SMILEY

This never happened before until recently on my laptop. First screenshot takes 20 seconds about, and then usually screenshots after that take all but a second, but now it's almost every shot takes 10-15 seconds each screenshot, and no idea why.

Any help?

I'm not sure how many people know this, but I was loading different loadouts and looking at each ability, when I noticed previous abilities that capped at low levels (ex. Stand-Off at level 30) can now be leveled to the max at level 50. I looked around a bunch of trees and found out that the Hacker branch has the most abilities that can now be leveled to 50, in which Live they only leveled to level 20/30.

Also, coding the new Awakened abilities can be done. They can all be leveled to 50 as well, and help with Melee/Ballistic/Viral Resistance. They can be activated infinitely on the hotbar. The abilities below it, give an increased resistance buff, but only last 30 seconds.

New Wachowski's Rolling Stone Article

I really don't know what to make of this article. It's long, but well worth the read.

Larry really is a loon. And after reading this, I highly doubt the Wachowski's are involved in this game. lol

I have the purple name!

Shoulda got it about 400 posts ago, but now it's mine foreve!

muahahahaha

lol beat that noobs

I was wondering if anyone else gets this bug. Someone sent me a /tell describing the same problem a few nights ago so I know it's not just me, but I'm not sure why it happens.

I could be in Interlock using specials fine, and thenthe next instant they don't work at all. They are not greyed out, they have color to be useable, but I just do the normal punching. To fix this, I either keep spamming different specials until one works or change my fighting technique a few times during rolls, and it seems to undo it.

It's very annoying, I was wondering if it's just for Karate, or if anyone else experiences this?

What do you think?

Hygenicap: 5 mil

Section Shoes (new stats): 7 mil

They're on the Marketplace, though. SMILEY

I was wondering if anyone had the following in their Code Archives:

White Avero Snakeskin Boots (ID 1017)

White Blake Corset Shirt (5121)

White Baal Vinyl Pants (943)

Also a Ninja and Face Mask. SMILEY

Thanks!

Full Purity, never been worn, 10 million Info. Check the marketplace, it's the only 10 mil pair on there for males. SMILEY

Full Purity

7 million Info

Thanks!

For some reason, everytime I jack in, my chat GUI goes back to the
default size, so I have to manually increase it each time. Anyone know
how to fix this?

Is anyone else confused by these missions?

First four we are tracking down Veil, and then the fifth we just kill
Exiles in three hideouts, and then it ends without an explanation.

HUH!?

Why not open up the polling option for regular threads? SMILEY

Before anything, I'm not sure if this can even be done with the MxO engine and GUI. Perhaps Blizzard made the WoW GUI customizable on purpose so players could edit it at there liking. I doubt this can be done with MxO, but I just wanted to throw it out there..

I have been playing WoW with the 10-day free trial, and something that has caught my interest is the very customizable GUI, add-ons, and macros that players have created for the game.

Like I said, it probably cannot even be done with MxO, but it would be cool if the Devs let the MxO community create mods and GUI's for the game (of course, nothing that would give an unfair advantage or exploiting, but just to make little things a lot easier).

For example, have an add-on that would display how much health and IS over the bar, so you don't have to hover the mouse over it, and you can quickly see exactly how much health or IS you have at a glance. Nothing too big, but I'm sure other people here can create some really wild ideas.

I remember when Upstream was still a DJ for RFZ (back when radio
stations were uber popular), he hosted two FN's, one at Stamos NW, and
the other somewhere in Downtown because we crashed Stamos the second
time. lol

I'm wondering if anyone wants to start up another Fight Night, perhaps
a weekly time every Friday night where people meet to go PvP in places
other than Mara C. So one night can be Stamos NW, and another could
change it up a lot by doing PvP in International and Downtown?

What do you think?

Mark my words mortals...

I got this from my Faction forums, but I needed to post this here as well:

"the revamped Star Wars Galaxies will feature a brand-new in-game movie engine that will allow for many more cinematic scenes in the game. Also, the game will actually have an extensive story arc, starting in February 2006 and going into winter of next year, in which you'll be able to revisit many of your favorite characters from the original trilogy motion pictures."

That was taken from the SWG site. The one thing MxO was unique for and had something going for it, SOE just takes the whole idea and puts it in their more popular MMO.

I just thought this was funny. SMILEY

A long shot, but I'm willing to buy one from someone, soley for collector's purposes only of course, so if you need some extra inventory space and don't care for collecting stuff, then I'm your man.

Since the Assassin is dead, I doubt we'll need it again, anyway. If so, I guarntee I'll trade it back to you.

I'm a collector when it comes to items from past events or anything
that has been given to us as a one-time thing, so I really want to save
the seven masks I got, but it would take up 7 inventory spaces!

Instead of having the masks work all the time, which I don't like, just
make them uploadable so people who would like to keep them can have
them stored in the code archive.

No harm in doing this.
