Ty ZeroTolerance, Sphairo, SuperStarX, and Marias,

 Zero - For your time and patience on clearing things up.

Sphairo - For providing a base number; that really helps in clarifying how much thrown res I should have.

(On a side note Sphairo - I've seen you on Mara C engaged in PvP; lol, You vs many)

SuperStarX - For making me aware of the color of the cross-hair; I was completley unaware of it. Ill begin to check now that I am aware.

Marias - For providing a Loadout/outfit and feign. I stil need to code sniper and get the Halsey sniper rifle. I do have the Expert rifle tree coded but haven't used it much, and the one time I did I used steady aim and the IS drain was a big turn off.

These abilities were designed for CR1, no way they will bring them back, unless they changed the buffs, but that's a project, and since we don't have a QA Server to test this stuff, it will never happen.

As ex said there is no "better" loadout..See what works for you and stick with it.

Back on topic, a Redpill can give birth but that doesn't necessarily mean that the RSI will appear pregnant. On top of that, evidence points to it that the child will not be able to Jack In.

Considering that the RSI is a projection of a Redpill's image of themself, and considering how profoundly pregnancy affects a woman's body and mindset, it *might* affect her enough to show some change in the RSI, but it would depend on the woman. Some gals go through a full-term pregnancy smoothly and others are knocked for a loop by it.

As for the cranial jack, I know one or two people who RP freeborns who were retrofitted with jacks, and I'm cool with it. I think the trick is, the jack would have to be implanted while the kid was fairly young so the brain could grow around the jack and the (theoretical) filiments radiating from it could connect with the brain cells as they continue to develop.

Also, since enrage now finally actually helps you preventing them from rolling out, use e.g. controlled burst, sidekick and so on. On another sidenote, MKTs will now much more use Canny Strike if they can, 'cause it's got the highest acc bonus for a combat-ability in-game.

Right, so I've got a 50 on all three servers and this is how I percieve things from what I've experienced on all three servers.

Vector: Tends to be concentrated PvP, what I find is that when one side is winning everyone comes out of the woodwork until they start losing or people start logging off because they are winning then the next org, who was on the recieving end of the big group of players, starts grouping together as they see the other orgs numbers lessening and make their attack. Each and every cycle of this, a couple of dedicated players may stick around to try pick off players or whatever. There are a lot more hyper jumpers on Vector than on Syntax on Recursion. In my opnion, those that do Hyper jump, do it because they simply can't reconstruct and come out Mara central unflagged and prepare to flag up. I'm not one of those players, but thats the reason I percieve for them to hyper jump. I hate that they do it as much as anyone else. Oh, forgot to add: Numerous players on vector tend to dream and live in la-la land, where by they talk absolute poppycock and act like the dogs bollocks with delusions of grandure.

Syntax: There are some interlock builds on syntax, there is a lot more temporary trucing too. Vector had a phase where it's two smallest orgs would truce to beat Zion as they had almost double the numbers of the org, many Mervs on Vector believed Systematic Chaos ruined that trucing system and frankly if we were the cause, I'm glad we did because it makes for much more entertaining PvP. Syntax tends not to hyper jump as much, likesay, because of the fact you can recon and come straight back out of Mara C. Syntax Mervs tend to have more MKT's than anything else, that was probably due to the fact that they had lesser numbers in their org for a while. Thats not the case now, but they tend to follow the MKT trend, which is fair enough. Can't complain.

Recursion: There are more interlock builds on this server, than any other. There's also a lot more TB'ers and HB'ers. Fair enough, thats their style. PvP isn't as active here as it used to be, in my experience. That may have changed recently, but since Fallen Horizon and IP Conflict quit on mass, there's not been as many enemies to combat.

One can't actually say, definitively, that one server is better than the other. Each has their differences, Strengths and weaknesses. If we ever have a test server back up, then perhaps we can host some kind of strategic kind of PvP tournament to decide a team of six of the best for each server and then PvP, but, until that happens we'll be basing our debates off personal experience not cold hard facts.

Any "fix" applied in this direction would encourage more people to use the Patcher Tree and maybe bring back some of those who left Team Patcher when they nerfed AOE heals.  Mom always wanted you to be a Doctor, didn't she?

Yeah, Cranial Jacks don't seem to stray too far from Canon since it's perceivable that humans have some knowledge of the method of their imprisonment. After all, still living humans - some adults - were implanted into the first Matrix. I'd have to think that anyone RPing a Cypherite would be against bringing a child into a world that they're against in the first place. This beckons the question: How is population regulated within the Matrix if two humans were to have a child within it? Is the child that results, effectively just a being compiled from the mother and father's genetic makeup and plopped into another pod? Or is it completely random? When someone says "That person isn't really your Mother." or "That isn't really your brother." - I'd think that would be incorrect - seeing how they'd inevitably look like each other to an extent - thus signifying the use of the same genetic material.


Ideas?

Syntax: Just give me a loincloth and a red cloak. 

Canadian Canadian Bacon here.  That was soooo much fun I don't think I ever laughed so hard ESPI's colour commentory was absolutly Priceless,  I **bleep** near fell out of my chair a few times.   Here's a few screenies I got.

Grace; The term 'backpedaling' in this thread refers to running away from an opponent, not the practice of reversing a hyperjump. 

That weird I thought the title was "backpeddling" hmmm, my bad I guess...

People get mad at hyperjumping because they lost a potential kill. It's the same with people running away with HS on.  I personally don't have a problem with that, because you can always catch up. It's the people that hardline to the loading area or some other random hardline. The backpeddeling is an exploit and should be reported if seen. People that usually cry over hyper jumping are the ones that don't have it loaded, have the zerg, or they are too lazy to chase you. The people that never hyperjump, they just play the game strictly for pvp and will load/use hyperjump on the occasion that they decide to participate in an L.E. . People that don't load hyperjump do it for the 3 extra points they get or they have beta jump.

Not the PvP momment? :O it's always time for pvp, red = dead.

/agree =P

Just kidding, there are times of course in LE's, player events and the like when red is not dead, but seeing as I can go to any other server and chat it up and relax without the temptation, I come to vector to farm...

I have to say I am pretty disappointed at how mechs HJ in pvp on recursion. I mean syntax is over tht phase...

The Agency is an MMO that incorporates the cinematic feel of spy movies in an attempt to bring a more mainstream audience to the online community. It will be released on the PS3 and PC, and you will receive certain updates about in game events and new updates from "contacts" (your agents in game) through a cell phone. The game mechanics aren't just in a FPS setting although that is a large part of the gameplay. It's possible to race/escape from scenes, sneak into certain bases, go club hopping and take pictures for intel, etc. There seems to be an emphasis on allowing the player to take any sort of approach to solving a problem, even if it's not a combat oriented solution. The graphics are smooth, although it does have sort of a light hearted/silly feel. Definitely one to look out for.

QFT.

I can't wait to get a play on this, the developers who were attending were extremely impressive when talking about the game and what it offers in the future.

Thanks for the Help.  You mean there are some threads here for it or somewere else??

They should make it so you have to play MXO to get a trial key >.>

well that didn't work lmao
