With the new patch, this lowbie ability has broken.

When you click it, it takes the initial 25 IS away for activation, but then stays active without draining the 25 IS every 5 seconds.

... ownage in the air?

Systematica told me to buy an org key because that's where we'd be meeting from now on... so I went and bought one for 100 mil.

Then she found out that wouldn't work, and changed the plans... so I now have a nice expensive 100 million paperweight / inventory space taker-upper.

I don't expect to get 100 mil for a key, but if anyone would like to buy this key from me make a reasonable offer.

Name a price.

Please give the buff (well, it counts as a debuff because you can Antibiotic it) from Decaying Code a visual FX. As of the present it can be used at tournies and there's no visual indicator that the person has activated what can be equivalent to a TB. Nuff said.

Hit these spawns with like 8 DOTs - both Plague Zones, Infect Area, All 4 Code Infections. Only CI 1, 2, and one of the infect areas / plague zones did damage; the others just said "infected with" but did no dmg in system chat.

Other factionmates have confirmed CI 4 and such do no damage for them also.

Bug, by design?

Looking for the thrown defense slacks with resistance. 20 mil.

The twilight raged.

As the city air bled through leaves decaying upon the ground, it formed quiet whispers that echoed in the distance. Far away, blinding rays of warmth shot out from the fire orb slowly disappearing down into the embracing horizon. Beyond a lone row of trees, towering skyscrapers jutted up into the sky, enclosing the space in an incomplete prison of concrete and steel.

Tapping his foot on rooftop tiles, 8ayamo stood atop the tower with his back to the wind. He was a lone figure on the platform. He waited.

After some time, the pocket of his light gray suit jacket vibrated, indicating his operator's maintenance had concluded. The hovercraft was now broadcasting at full potential, and all communications channels were re-established. The operative reached into his coat, and with one fluid motion retrieved and opened his cellular phone. Gloved fingers pressed the device's keypad in a series of rapid memorized motions, and then raised the cell to his ear.

A mechanical voice with a noticeable lack of accent issued from the earpiece. "You have reached the Machine Network. State your query."

"Captain 8ayamo of the Phalanx reporting for duty." This was standard procedure. His voice would be analyzed through a series of algorithms to ensure security. After he had been identified, his record would be added to his handler's queue. He had dialed no mere voice conference; the Machine switchboard managed and coordinated hundreds, no, thousands of operatives simultaneously. Often, the information passing through these channels would be sensitive or urgent. Tonight would be no different.

"Voice heuristic signature confirmed. Tier two access granted. Hold for transfer." A new voice.

"Greetings, 8ayamo. This is the Automated Relay System. To contact your handler, press One. To report an incident, press Two. To request munitions or assistance, press Three. To view your record, press Four. To manage your crew or faction, press Five. To connect to Data Node One, press Six. If you are lost, delirious, drunk, decelerated, or confused, stay on the line." Some things would never change. He sent a 2200 Hertz tone from his modified phone in reply, and paused as his operator set up a comms channel with Agent Gray.

Suddenly, the Agent himself. 8ayamo listened, his mouth setting into a grim line. He replied with a terse "Yes, sir," then tucked the cell away and leaped off the ledge into the blackness of the sky.

He landed by a hardline in Tabor Park, and wasted no time stepping out of the small crater and into the shadowed metal booth. As expected, the phone began to ring. He reached for it...

... and then the black hole swallowed him whole.

((To be continued...))

... you must see this.

Absolutely hilarious XD

~~Taking offers.~~ stock empty atm

The 2% acc ones with melee resistance. I believe they're Purple Silver Shard.

I am unable to view players' " - CYPH" tags, except via right click --> details, and the /who command.

Restarting my computer, resetting my useropts, running a full system check, turning visual effects off and back, turning name tags off and back have all not resolved the issue.

My factionmate Oranos is experiencing the same issue. I've /bug'ed it in-game, and was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems with the new tags? Other players I've talked to seem to be able to view them correctly, except for Oranos and I.

Starting yesterday afternoon, I've been experiencing unplayable lag both on QA and Vector. I can't run, or even walk half a meter without bouncing back and forth for several seconds like I'm rubberbanding.

I did not make any changes to my system, I've turned all the useropts I've been playing with off, I've tried playing in the lowest detail settings possible, nothing has worked.

At any given time, in the middle of nowhere, my lag bar is all the way in the red, and reads:

1076ms rsvr

0ms - 1600ms jrtt (it spikes up and down)

913ms msvr

I've tried turning off my firewall and it doesn't help.

It seems when "rsvr" is lower, I can run fine. Once it goes past 600, I can't walk or run at all.

Message Edited by Bayamo on 03-04-200602:21 PM

Just as the topic says. I have 3 slots full on QA, and want to get rid of one of them so I can test out the tutorial.

When I click "delete" and verify, a pop-up box appears: "Character cannot be deleted due to server ERROR."

QA is currently up, and the characters can get in fine. I have successfully deleted characters from QA before, so I don't know what the deal is. Is anyone else experiencing the same difficulty?

PM, or /t Bayamos. Name a reasonable price.

Highcollar or Regular. Buffs unimportant.

/t 8ayamo, or leave a PM/email.

For several months, including on my old account, (and on QA as well,) I have been unable to use the /use command. Even standalone from macros, the wrong slots are used. For example, if I do /use 9 1; /use 9 2; the macro runs and instead does /use 5 0; /use 5 9;

Does anyone know a fix to this? I know other players can still use it (well, actually I just found out...), and it would be very helpful if I was able to use this command.

Don't feel like getting ganked by Zudrag in Datamine? Or just too lazy to farm for the gum yourself?

I have an extra set of 40 SSR Gum. Name the right price and I might be willing to part with it.

Made a male char, and all Ethereal felt like dropping was female skins. I have 3 or 4 female Dragonskins left, (in the unlikely event anyone wants to trade for male, sure), otherwise name a price.

Title says it all. I'm looking to buy a GM token at a reasonable price. Let me know.

I have far too much money, and haven't ever hosted an event on my own, so I'm giving it a shot.

The premise is simple. Are you on Vector a lot? Or do you just have a really good memory? Show us all, and be the one to win! Up for grabs is your choice of either $i 200,000,000, just farmed SSR Shades, an Override Kernel, or a brand-new Kunoichi Grandmaster item.

Here's how this works. In this post is a list of bluepill names from Vector characters, new and old, recent and ancient. You have from now until midnight on January 17th to figure out as many identities as you can. At that point, PM me your list. Don't post them! That'd give away the answers if you're right! I will save your submissions and evaluate them. The player with the greatest number of correct identifications will win. Incorrect or blank answers net zero points, and incur no penalty.

The thread title, of course, is a homage to a somewhat similar competition involving facial recognition hosted by Regulus a long, long time ago.

Anyways, I hope a good amount of people participate in this. I tried to make the list as diverse as possible, drawing from all organizations, lowbie and level 50, player and storyline character alike. I avoid names that have 2 different people with the same handle, like how Krytical and angrybear and ollie22 are all Thomas Anderson. There should be a lot of freebies. You're not expected to know even a small fraction of these names; it's just big so that it's diverse enough that hopefully all social circles find themselves with names they recognize. Show me what you've got!

Only considering offers above 350 mil. /t Bayamos

Am I the only one who can't get enough pictures of the huge bridges? SMILEY

Looking for a Trolls Hide if anyone has one for sale. Name a reasonable price?

I'm posting this here because quite honestly I don't know where to post it, aside from asking Rarebit next time I get the spot.

I have level 50 Hyperjump. In the ability description, it says the ability has a range of 4 meters. When I hit Alt + J or click the ability on my hotbar, I can only target Hyper Jumps up to 4 meters away - beyond that; the reticule turns red, and despite other players' advice to click the red anyway, I am unable to do a targeted HyperJump longer than 4 meters distance. I know that this is the not correct; everyone I talk to about it says their targeted HJ works fine for all distances.

On the other hand, Ctrl+Space works fine - I have the correct range. However... I used to be able to target my Hyperjumps far far away. I'm VERY frustrated by this situation - targeted jumps are very useful in PVP whether it be for escaping or chasing someone in conjunction with a /target macro. Additionally, it took me 10 minutes to get to the top of the Morrell Helipad using untargeted Ctrl Space Jumps during the Commandos event on Vector.

I've been playing this game for over a year now; I know how to use targeted Hyperjumps - my ability just stopped working all of a sudden and hasn't started back up since. I've tried putting on Taskmaster Berets or even trashing my HJ ability and leveling up another one for 8 mil - nothing.

This is really really getting on my nerves. Anyone have any idea what's causing this / how to fix it?

I have a Zion alt that hit 50 over winter break, yet it has 0 reputation. I'd like to eventually be able to participate in the story missions on it, but I can barely stomach one mission a month, let alone enough to grind it to 100 rep.

So, if any Zion here does rep missions for $info, post here, or PM me, or whatever. Let me know.

I've been crashing (well, freezing) a lot lately due to my sound drivers - Creative doesn't like MXO for one reason or another and crashes to blue screen.

I figured I'd fix this problem by running Windows Update, as it told me there were updated drivers for my sound card available. I installed the new drivers, along with an update to M$ft NET Framework 2.0, some Windows Hotfixes, and Windows Media Player 10.

What seems like immediately after, however, MXO has gotten worse. Instead of random bluescreens and dumps from the sound driver, MXO is now crashing - every few minutes. I literally cannot go fifteen minutes without the client crashing for no apparent reason. I can be walking, jumping, fighting - it doesn't matter, any kind of motion places me at risk to suddenly have my MXO window disappear and the Crash Reporter come up.

I'm not sure if the "upgrades" are causing my problems, so I'll inquire if anyone else is experiencing similar difficulty. And if the updates are causing my problem, I have no idea how to remove a Windows Update without reformatting SMILEY

Here are my logs:

Anyone else suffering through the 4 hour-ish AP US History test tomorrow, or taking another AP Course? :o

You pick the item and gender you trade it in for. This is an auction format, post your offers here.

Starting bid: $i 130,000,000. Bids must occur in increments of 5 mil or greater.

BUY IT NOW: $i 500,000,000

This auction will end 11 PM EST Wednesday night.

Let me know if you have one.

I have enough Corrupted Code for 2 additional headgears. I'm currently farming the Decaying Code archives. Not farming too quickly, but I'm throwing this out there in case there's any interest. Otherwise I will simply have four headgears which sit in alts' inventories that I never log into.

What I'm not interested in is $info; I have far too much already and it serves me no benefit. The economy is dead. Nobody sells anything.

So, if anyone's possibly interested in a headgear, and has a group of items they're offering (i.e new RSI captures, GM gear, this, that, or possibly combined with the other thing), post. If I see an offer I like, we'll talk.

Store Inventory:

SSR Shades: 150 mil each

NOTE: I decomp everything I farm, and typing up lists is a pain in the behind. That list hasn't been updated in a long time, so if you're looking for something, tis best to just ask and I'll check my codestructs for it.

Random Stuff:

Pending Orders:

None. I'm done.

I'm an avid fan of orchestral music, and have taken to acquiring
several cinematic scores. This is somewhat a part of my ongoing search
for awesome music to use in a MXO video production... but nonetheless I
appreciate good music.

I've sampled a large quantity of movie scores and trailer music, and
these are my favorites at the moment. If you're interested, here's what
I'd recommend checking out. If you know of any similar music, or have
recommendations to make, by all means post! SMILEY

V For Vendetta OST - "Valerie" and "Evey Reborn" aren't action cues,
but they're so emotional that they make the hair on my neck just stand
right up. And then there's always "Knives and Bullets (And Cannons
Too)" which, including the 1812 Overture, is just chock full of
powerfull actiony goodness.

The Batman Begins soundtrack has this great paranoid citylike feel to
it, and Hans Zimmer is typically a great composer. "Nycteris,"
"Barbastella," and "Molussus" are great tracks. Hans Zimmer has
produced a number of great soundtracks, like...

The Gladiator OST... not very action oriented, but some great songs.
"Sorrow" is very moving. Another great Zimmer score is "The Last
Samurai," "Ronin" and "Taken" are very intense action tracks.

The Constantine OST has a very mysterious sound to it, considering the
movie deals with supernatural elements. I love the fight music where
the holy water descends from the sprinklers, and other cues are great
as well.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within - great special effects, mediocre
plot, GREAT soundtrack. I highly recommend checking this out, the
choral work is simply beautiful.

Obviously, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park,
and The Matrix Trilogy are included - I don't think much is needed in
terms of explanation.

Michael Giachinno's scores for "Alias" and "Lost" are very good. The
Rambaldi and Irina Derevko motifs are very good, and Lost's atmospheric
wonderfullness makes the show very interesting.

In terms of non-movie orchestral music, I really like Carl Orff's
"Carmina Burana", and Verdi's "Dies Irae," in addition to Wagner's
"Ride of the Valkyries," Strauss's "Sprach Zathustra," and Holst's
"Mars" and "Saturn." Another great group is E.S. Posthumus - I have
their "Unearthed" CD, which is frequently encountered in my playlists.
Also, Rob Dougan's "Furious Angels" album features some great
instrumental and orchestral work. Trailer specific music companies can
produce some great songs too, Immediate Music, X-Ray Dog Music, and
others have some great renditions of Mozart's "Lacrimosa" from
"Requiem," and the "Gothic Power" cue by Christopher Field. Another top
pick is Clint Mansell's "Lux Aeterna," which is a remake of a trailer
song from "Requiem for a Dream."

Some video games have great scores as well. The Elder Scrolls series
has always featured great music - the title themes for Morrowind and
Oblivion are highly recommended, as is the music from Oblivion's
opening cinematic. World of Warcraft's main title is very intense also,
and a trailer song for Myst IV is one of my favorite tracks. A site
named OCRemix.org has done some remixes of great game songs and made
them even better, I HIGHLY recommend the Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and
Halo selections. Counting Advent Children as a game, well, One Winged
Angel has to be one of the coolest songs ever, and the rest of the
tracks are astounding as well.

So... yeah. Check this stuff out if you're interested, and post suggestions/recommendations SMILEY

Sharing is caring.

I was randomly kicked out of my faction Systematic Chaos several days ago due to a bug. I do not recieve the "Error loading functionality" message, instead I just have no faction or crew information. This is very annoying as I'm actually the leader of Systematic Chaos and now don't have faction chat, let alone administrative powers of the faction. I'm wary of being re-recruited and promoted to rank one, I'd much rather have it fixed somehow and my rightful crew data be restored.

Now, another factionmate of mine has the same issue. He reconned and met the following message: Server Couldnt find a name for faction ID 36388; he was unable to use faction chat. When he went through a hardline, he reappeared with no faction or crew and now has the same bug I do.

This bug is seriously screwing up my faction, and it would be a near impossible task to disband and remake the faction. CSRs tell me there's nothing they can do. I ask... is this bug recognized in SOE's database? I know I've sent in ccrs regarding it; does anyone have any knowledge or advice on this situation? My subscription expires in a few days and I'm currently very unhappy with the help I've received.

Okay, I have Windows installed on my C drive, which is my PC's older 120 GB HD. MXO is currently installed on my X drive, which is a newer SATA 250GB drive that runs through a PCI card. I have 1 GB of RAM and my pagefile (1500-3000MB) is based off my X drive.

Sometimes when I'm running around in MXO, I hit massive graphics lag. All my drivers, et cetera are up to date. My question is, would it improve my performance to move MXO and my page file to the older and a little slower drive that Windows is located on, or would it make things worse?

I have some 50s lying around from Halloween that I finally should do something with. One's a Cyph that was missioned to 30 that I want to turn Merv, since I have 2 other Mechs here. There's also a Zion I'd like to get decent rep for.

So, any Zionites or Mervs who grind rep for $info, let me know.

I was dual clienting MXO last night and forgot to switch to low detail before I started. The PC had been running for 12 hours beforehand, and glitching / distortions of models and textures commenced. I set down to low detail and played for about 30 minutes, then shut down. When I restarted the PC, my GUI, desktop etc were plagued by static and vertical scanlines with distortions.

I opened up the case, and my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro was blazing hot. I let the case stay open for a while and let it cool overnight. When I got up this morning, I cleaned out the fan and heatsink, as well as the AGP slot on my motherboard and the VGA adapter for my monitor. I'm sure that it's a GPU issue and not the monitor, as Direct3D tests result in massive amounts of distorted geometry, and nothing else.

When I try to play MXO, this is what I get:

Anyone have any advice on other things to check, or is it a common consensus that the card is gone? I can find a new card that's a little better than the Radeon for around $180, so it's not killer, but I'd like to try everything before I hand out the cash.

I can see green hardlines, and I can see red hardlines. I can't see yellow or orange, they appear green to me.

I have tried removing my useropts, setting options.cfg to the default, removing my /profiles/ folder, turning off my firewall, full system checks on both the client and all files, and even a fresh install of MXO. Nothing seems to work. I've had this problem for a couple of months now, and it's driving me nuts.
