Neighborhood: Southard
Gang:                Guillotines
Collector:           Chaste

Gang item:         Red Silk Ribbon
Reward:             Chastity

First message:
"I was hired to kill the Guillotines. While I'm not one to shy away from a little wet work, full scale slaughter has never been my style. If you're interested in subcontracting, bring me the Red Silk Ribbons that they carry. For this, you will be adequately compensated."

Second message:
"A bullet from a mile away, a poison tab in a drink, or my bare hands in the dead of night... these are my stock and trade. This "mass carnage" that my employers want brought against the Guillotines is a different... artistry. Bring me more of these Red Silk Ribbons since you seem to have this style of artistry within you."

Third message:
"It would seem to be I'm a victim of your success. The contract I currently hold to eliminate the Guillotines has been extended. I suppose acting as middleman can have its perks. Should you gather more Red Silk Ribbons, feel free to bring them to me."

Closing message:
"Hmm... curious. It would seem my, and by proxy your, benefactor is none other than the Pendhurst-Amaranth Corporation. Normally I would never reveal an employer, but seeing how they're paying us to eliminate a gang on their payroll, I decided that cautionary word was warranted."

Neighborhood: Sobra Shores
Gang:                Legion
Collector:           Father Jonas

Gang item:         Pentagram Amulet
Reward:             Devotional Shirt

First message:
"Demons... demons walk among the bluepills. You might think them just Exiles, but the Legion spreads corruption and vice wherever they go. I don't want to know how you do it, but bring me their Pentagram Amulets - the very symbol of their evil ways."

Second message:
"Please, you must collect their symbolic amulets. The Legion will continue spreading its filth and corruption unless we fight to stop them. Know that you will be tangibly as well as spiritually rewarded when you bring me a full collection of the Pentagram Amulets."

Third message:
"Bless you my child, you have brought Pentagram Amulets from the demon Legion. I know it must have been... rough, but you know that you've done a service to all souls still trapped in the Matrix. The war is far from over, but this renews my faith that it is a war that just might be won."

Closing message:
"Some have questioned me: is destroying these Exiles' lives really a work of benevolence; or are the greater evils of fear, hate and prejudice just wrapping themselves in a cloak of righteousness and using me as their pawn? To them I say - my faith shows me the truth! I was right about the Matrix, and I will continue to prove I am right this time as well!"

Neighborhood: Gracy Heights

Reward:             Puglist's Gloves

First message:
"Hey, I want the word out on the street. I'm willing to pay big time for the Crusher gang's Small Hammers. That's all you need to know."

Second message:
"It if was up to me, I'd bash in each Crusher's head with those stupid Small Hammers. Instead I'll pay you to bring the hammers to me. Don't ask any questions, I'm not about to offer any answers."

Third message:
"The Bathary Boys didn't come through for me when I needed them. My own gang is not willing to back me up! You believe that? Hell with them, man I'll take care of the Crushers myself. Take this, it belonged to my boy Vince."

Closing message:
"The Crushers took the only friend I've ever known and my gang won't go after them because it isn't profitable. I don't care about money, I want revenge!"

Neighborhood: Guiness Lake
Gang:                King's Men
Collector:           Optix

Gang item:         Crown Coin
Reward:             Optix Optics

First message:
"Look, you gotta help me. I really need some of the Crown Coins carried by the King's Men. If you get them for me, I'll give ya something real nice - I swear it!"

Second message:
"I know I'm a member of the King's Men, but I need more Crown Coins. I swear I'll make it worth your while."

Third message:
"You got Crown Coins for me? I'll give you the best stuff I got."

Closing message:
"With these coins, and people like you picking off fellow gangsters, people will think I was killed, too. I can disappear from the gang and they'll never come looking for me!"

Neighborhood: Rogers Way
Gang:                A.S.P. (Amber Special Projects Agency)
Collector:           Elmore

Gang item:         ASP ID Card
Reward:             Elmore's Automatic

First message:
"To keep Amber... distracted, for a while, I need to thin the ranks of the Amber Special Projects Agency. If you do this for me and bring proof - meaning their ASP ID Cards - then I will reward you, substantially."

Second message:
"If you can manage to bring me more ASP ID Cards as proof you've dispatched Amber Special Projects Agency members, then will I reward you. Hopefully, this will keep both you and Amber busy for a while."

Third message:
"You have brought ASP ID Cards? Greene will be very pleased to know you're keeping Amber's group so busy for us. Greene is very generous. Take this - there's more where that came from, so keep up the good work."

Closing message:
"The friend of my enemy is my enemy. Amber has been working too closely with Indigo. Attacking Amber Special Projects is the... humane way to keep her out of our way."

Collector:           Clarke

Gang item:         Flint Pendant
Reward:             Sparkling Fedora

First message:
"Listen up, kid. All I care about is gettin' the Flint Pendants out of the hands of that Sparks gang. You bring me those pendants and I'll give you somethin' in return. It's that simple. Why you still standin' here? Go to it!"

Second message:
"Good job, kid. I can see you got some Flint Pendants from the Sparks. Tell you what, you bring more of ‘em to me, I'll give ya something in return. I spent a long time keepin' this place safe, and I ain't about to let some little gangsters turn it to ash."

Third message:
"That Sparks bunch is usin' those Pendants to break every fire code in the system. I ain't about to let them just spit all over that code! Kid, I think you've earned this reward for the Flint Pendants you've brought me."

Closing message:
"Hey, kid. You ever been burned? It hurts like a son of a *CENSORED*. If you don't wanna experience that first hand, I'd suggest you to be more careful with those Flint Pendants."

Collector:           Lucian

Gang item:         Crow Feather
Reward:             Lucian's Launcher

First message:
"I'm in the market for a particular kind of Crow Feather - that of the Crow Bars, themselves. If you get some for me, I'll trade you something valuable."

Second message:
"I need more Crow Feathers from the Crow Bars. I just need enough of them so I can walk away happy. I'd appreciate it if you can add to my current collection."

Third message:
"I will happily trade you for the Crow Feathers you have, if you are willing."

Closing message:
"Another Crow Feather to add to my collection. You have done well. I still need more of these from the Crow Bars, though."

Gang item:         Small Vial of Blood
Reward:             Vampire Coat

First message:
"Those importunate Disciples.. they want to keep all the power to themselves! Bring me a Small Vial of Blood and I will share in the power with you."

Second message:
"You've been hunting Disciples? I need those Small Vials of Blood. I NEED them. Bring more to me. Take them by force if you must. I'll make it more than worth your while!"

Third message:
"It has always amazed me that something so small can contain all of the bliss that can be known. Give me those Vials, I need them. But wait, I need something to trade - for someone as skilled as you are at taking blood, I'm sure this will be most appropriate."

Closing message:
"I can already feel the power coursing through me! Return to me when you have more vials. The code is exquisite... code is the source of an Exile's life as blood is the source of a human's."

Neighborhood: Bathary Row
Gang:                Bathary Boys
Collector:           Ethan

Gang item:         Blood-Drinker Tooth
Reward:             Mother Coat

First message:
"Continued expansion of the Bathary Boys could be...hazardous. This growth should be halted immediately. If you acquire the Teeth of a Blood Drinker from them, you will be rewarded appropriately."

Second message:
"The Bathary Boys can use a Blood-Drinker Tooth for...disdainful purposes. You will be compensated if you manage to bring more of these to me."

Third message:
"I intend to acquire and subsequently destroy every single Blood-Drinker Tooth the Bathary Boys have ever had including those in your possession. Shall we commence with the trade negotiations?"

Closing message:
"I must commend you on an excellent achievement; the Bathary Boys are not your average ruffians. If you manage to obtain another supply of these, please return here so we may do business again."

Neighborhood: Akasaka
Gang:                Brothers of Destiny
Collector:           Petal

Gang item:         Silver Star Medallion
Reward:             Petal Pants

First message:
"I cannot bring direct harm to the Sisters of Fate. They have woven it into my very code. However, I know their secrets and what harms the Brothers of Destiny returns onto the shoulders of the Sisters. I want you to hunt the Brothers and bring me their Silver Star Medallions."

Second message:
"Pain felt by the Brothers of Destiny revisits itself on the shoulders of the Sisters of Fate. So it has always been. You have hurt the Sisters and I wish you to go on hurting the Sisters. I cannot ask you to do this directly. Bring me the Medallions of the Brothers of Destiny, I shall pay you for them if that is what you wish."

Third message:
"Each of these Silver Star Medallions represents a life of a Brother of Destiny. Because of the bond between them, each life of a Brother that is taken brings suffering to a Sister of Fate. I can hear them scream. I can hear their agony. It soothes me to know that they feel a fraction of the pain that they caused me when they killed the man that I loved. Take your payment, you have earned it for the comfort you have brought me."

Closing message:
"Among the codes that the Sisters live by is "Love your sisters before any other". When they discovered that I had shared my love with another, they hunted him like an animal. They beat him, tortured him, forced me to watch, forced me to stand aside while they took him from me. After this, they bound me to their service. I cannot harm them directly, but they have forgotten that I know their secrets."

Gang:                Sisters of Fate
Collector:           Jonny

Gang item:         Small Gold Hourglass
Reward:             Jonnygun

First message:
"The Sisters of Fate carry small Gold Hourglasses as their symbols. They believe themselves to be the agents of fate. What a foolish concept - that there is any fate here. There is no more fate in the Matrix than there is a God in your world. The Sisters do as they please and hide behind their beliefs. It is time they suffered for what they have done. Kill them. Bring me their precious Hourglasses. Then we shall discover who serves fate, and who fate serves."

Second message:
"Everything that I had was taken from me by the Sisters of Fate. I have only material goods left to offer you in exchange for more of their Gold Hourglasses."

Third message:
"Even in the Matrix, what is done can never be undone. The Sisters chose their fate when they killed my love and left me for dead. Their continued suffering is the only comfort that I have. The more hourglasses I collect, the more they have suffered. This pleases me. You have earned this payment."

Closing message:
"I once loved a woman, and she loved her Sisters. When they found that she shared her love with another... they beat me while she watched. They tormented me and left me for dead. I know in my heart that they killed her too."

Gang item:         Dragon Medallion
Reward:             Tin Can's Headgear

First message:
"Dragon Medallions are quickly becoming a prized commodity in this region. People are willing to pay high prices for them just to spite the Silver Dragons."

Second message:
"There is talk on the street that you have been collecting Dragon Medallions from the Silver Dragons. I know of a few people who will pay a king's ransom for a collection of those Medallions. Come back when you have more of them, and we'll talk payment."

Third message:
"The Silver Dragons have given both the Exiles and the redpills reasons to want them dead. Their enemies are legion, and a buyer for these Medallions isn't very hard to find, if you know where to look - and I do. I pay my suppliers well. Hopefully we can do business in the future."

Closing message:
"Feel free to come back anytime and I'll make you the same offer. The Silver Dragons have made many enemies and I assure you that I am quite well funded."

Gang item:         Empty Leather Wallet
Reward:             Viral Shades

First message:
"I've been hired to take care of a little "problem" with the Destitutes. Subsequently, I am paying out handsomely to anyone who brings me a sufficient supply of the distinct Empty Leather Wallets they carry."

Second message:
"I hear that you have some of the destitutes' Empty Leather Wallets. I have been authorized to pay a stipend for these. Unfortunately, we only buy in bulk, so you'll have to collect more of them."

Third message:
"I'm a very responsible person, and my current responsibility is to remove the Destitutes from my client's neighborhood. This operation is quite well funded, I can afford to trade you a decent compensation for the Empty Leather Wallets you have in your possession."

Closing message:
"Great Wall Security will continue to fund this operation until it is completed. If you retrieve an adequate supply of Empty Leather Wallets again, please return here so we may do business again."

Collector:           Corrode

Gang item:         Platinum Shuriken
Reward:             Shuriken Launcher

First message:
"A gang is only as strong as its weakest members. If the Shuriken are to remain the strongest in the Matrix then we must insure that only the strongest of us live to represent the gang. Any one of us who gives up his Platinum Shuriken is unworthy to carry it. Feel free to test any of us that you'd like, I'll even reward you if you can cull enough weaklings and bring me their Shuriken."

Second message:
"You could only have obtained those Platinum Shuriken by overpowering weak Shuriken gang members. Only the strongest of us can be allowed to live. And those who can separate out the weak amongst us are deserving of payment for their guile. Return when you have collected more Platinum Shuriken."

Third message:
"I can remember days when you would not only have failed to collect a single Platinum Shuriken, you would have been killed for the mere suggestion that it were possible. However, you have done us a service and eliminated those who are undeserving. I will trade with you to take back our Platinum Shuriken. They will be given to those who deserve to carry them."

Closing message:
"None but the strongest may earn the right to call themselves Shuriken."

Reward:             Tiger Claws

First message:
"It is foolish to take everything from a man and leave him alive to seek vengeance. The Black Tigers will learn this lesson. You have a reputation for violence and this is a task that I'm sure you will appreciate. Bring me their Tiger Claw Pendants. Feel free to kill them first."

Second message:
"The Black Tigers do not understand pain, but they will learn. I hear that you have given them introductory lessons. Go and teach the advanced course. Come back when you have taken more of their Tiger Claw Pendants."

Third message:
"The Black Tigers left me for dead. Not finishing the job was their biggest mistake. They took most of what I have, but I will trade you this for the Tiger Claw Pendants you carry."

Closing message:
"Vengeance is a feast that leaves your hungrier at the end. I want more Tiger Claw Pendants, and I fear that I will never be satiated."

Second message:
"The Jade Moon gang's Jade Crescent Medallions are worth a good deal to us. Collect more and present them to me, we may be able to work out an exchange."

Third message:
"We will aptly reward you for giving us your supply of Jade Crescent Medallions. Unlike the Jade Moon gang, we are respectful of those we deal with."

Closing message:

"The Ivory Disks of the Chang Wings. The disks are precious to them. But nothing is so precious as a man's honor. I have been dishonored by the Chang Wings, and I will see to it that their insult is returned tenfold."

Third message:
"Each Ivory Disk is a token towards the debt of honor owed to me by the Chang Wings. They refuse to listen to the truth. The truth is a powerful thing, as is the item I will exchange with you for those disks."

First message:
"The Phoenixes are messing with things they shouldn't. They are not important enough to warrant our attention. However, we are not so foolish as to ignore them altogether.

Third message:

Closing message:
"It is foolish for the Phoenixes to continue their campaign against us. Should they continue, they will discover that programs do not rise from the ashes."

Hmm, I couldn't find any of those spots. Could you maybe specify these locations on the map? Like, northwest corner or east middle?

Oops, that's apparently because I hit the wrong key...

The thing was, I absolutely haven't understood what he meant by that sentenct, but if you maybe look back at my post, you'll see a SMILEY

, also known as "smiley", which means that particular sentence wasn't actually meant so seriously.

P.S.: I'm from Germany myself so the argument about "what country they are from" was pretty superfluous (uhh, hope that was spelled correctly). What I really critisized was more the things he said and how he said them, like my predecessor did either.

Cool it down SMILEY

Message Edited by zeroone5069 on 01-22-200610:45 PM

This is about a move type in Melee vs. Armed Interlock that was removed along with CR 2.0.

Let's say, if you're using a Melee style and your opponent a gun style. If you would won the round, there were two possibilities: Either you disarmed him or you jumped (or rather "rubberbanded") a few meters back and then started an artistic move sequence while approaching your opponent and finally hitting him.

As far as I've seen, there was one such animation for each Aikido, Karate and Self Defense, aswell as two for Kung Fu (of which one, I believe, was connected to the grab tactic).

Although not that bad at itself, the sneaking version of Aikido used to annoy me, mostly because it was sometimes played over and over again. However, the other four moves were pretty much awesome to look at, and the same as with some other animation groups that have fallen victim to CR 2.0 (like wall kicks or disarming moves), it's sad to see these go.

Here's a little suggestion: Reimplement those moves and make them appear as alternatives to (hit-fail) finishers. Maybe even just for Melee vs. Melee, since it was a bit unrealistic to sneak or jump around while your enemy had a gun in his hand. :smileywink:

I can imagine how annoying it has to be. But as I said, I crashed only once after the patch and that wasn't even a big exception. But yea, if crap like that happened to you (and apparently to several others) you have the right to be furious about that SMILEY

If it's really because of the patch, I guess I was just terribly lucks to have avoided all the bugs.

And I wasn't really "critisizing" your grammar, I just haven't understood a particular sentence you had written, and your aggressiveness provocated me to make that comment SMILEY

That was one of the Karate grab moves, or as another one said, rather an addition to a grab move. I'd also like to see that one back since I loved it, but that's not what this thread is about. SMILEY

In the movies, all redpills use mobile phones. Mouse had one as he got shot, too. Could he jackout by using it? No. The only purpose of those phones was communication with each other and the operator. Ok, Cypher used his one to reveal their position to the agents, but that's something different. Also, if an operator loads anything into someone's brain (like helicopter flying abilities into Tryinity's), he doesn't use hardlines or mobile phones but simply their connection. Ok, not so sure about the last one...

Not a bad idea, but I don't think it will be ever implemented. As it was said before, it would cause balance problems and wouldn't make too much sense. But could be.

This question pretty much sums it up. I simply don't understand what the details text sais.

All I know is that it's an area effect which causes grey street mobs attack you. Is that the only purpose of Taunt, making non-aggressive NPCs attack you without damaging them?

Message Edited by zeroone5069 on 01-10-200608:00 AM

I didn't really like any of those "approach" moves very much... and the fact that they did get played so often just made it worse. Hands down though, the Aikido chop of Doom was easily the worst. Thing is, even though I wasn't a huge fan, it still sucks to have lost the animations completely.

In my case, only the Aikido version got played too often, which admittedly made me freak out; when I was using the other styles, my character usually disarmed the enemy as as soon as he won the round, or at least much more often. However, following my suggestion, these moves will be only played in the final rounds from time to time, so they shouldn't get too intrusive.

Actually, I agree with you about the Aikido version. No matter if the opponent was armed or unarmed (theoretically), it just always looked a bit silly. So just for me, I wouldn't mind if Aikido gets left out if the approaching animations will ever be reimplemented, but I also wouldn't demand it. However, I can't really comprehend why you didn't like the other three (?), I really loved them -- fast, furious and acrobatic.

( And yeah, the Karate leaping side kick was awesome... but it was actually an unarmed VS unarmed move done from long inerlock range, not an unarmed VS armed move. I believe I was the one who noted it before, but it also wasn't a grab move, it just happened that a common grab tactic move would push your opponent to the perfect range for the leaping side kick to be activated... it could activate at that range no matter what tactic you were using. )

Yea, I still have that thread on the top of the board (edit: or wait, I've even put a link to that thread above!!), I just couldn't think of anything useful to reply to I let it be. Your answer pretty much covered everything.

However, I only experienced it when using the Karate grab tactic. Could this also happen after a successful Machinegun Kick, or some other move my level was too low for back then?

Ok, crashed twice...

But it was only limited to Karate, wasn't it?

These constructs are only accessible via named Archivist Proxies. Their presence in the hardline list is a leftover of some older idea put on the backburner: either it was meant to include hardlines into constructs, or something else.

As already said, you need to find your organization's Archivist Broker vendor (listed above), all three located in a library lobby, and buy a construct book from him. Then, you need to equip it and stand next to the Archivist Proxy who sends all players in a certain radius to archives (constructs) all 3 minutes. If your level is within the book's level range, and your organization matches the book's, you'll be teleported into the according construct.

The Archivist Brokers also sell Stat Hack mission tickets (one that rewards you with a Stat Hack tool, which you can use to reset your character' stats), Archive Mission tickets and White Hallway keys.

Ok, I thought it might be of some interested to have a list of all possible masks you can get in the game. It isn't anything really crucial but nice to know.

Here's my list of all different masks I know, if anyone knows anothe one, please post them. Especially I'd like to know if there are any above 30 and if not, why the disguise ability should be upgraded after 30.

No level requirements: Clerk, Construction Worker, Waiter, Lab Worker, Office Worker, Hell Club

Level 15: Mechanic, Chateau Guard, Ensign

Level 20: Lupine, SWAT Guard, Lieutenant

Level 25: Blood Drinker, Commander, Enforcer

Level 30: Agent

As far as I've understand, a construct applies to any virtual instance, including the Matrix itself. However, the Matrix isn't referred to as construct, so constructs in MxO mean either separate instances accessible from the Matrix, or rarelier, training constructs.

Actually, the constructs we're talking about are called "Archives". "Constructs" is a too abstract term, especially now that new constructs apart from archives have been implemented-

Three times... OK, I guess I begin to... understand what everyone complains about.

And Zeinder... dude... cancelling your account just because of a few temporary crashes... dude...

But the decision is only yours

There are altogether five instrumental techno/rock tracks for clubs. I do call it "real music".

Errr...

lol SMILEY

I admit it's not such a bad idea as an option.
Though you can somewhat compensate it with the ingame radio -- some stations play heavy metal all day.

Lol, ok... I enjoyed talking about the karate side-kick, and I'm glad how desired it is... but this thread is actually about the "approach" animations, so it would be great to transfer the side-kick to where it belongs, mmkay?

I don't know if this is a ground-breaking discover or a well-known feature already discussed to death somewhere in the past, but at least I was quite surprised by it and thought I should post it.

When casually taking a closer look at a Richland side alley (they all have the same texture as far as I know), I've discovered that the regular crack patterns I had reckoned as abstract actually pictured insects.

Here a few examples:

I heard, in the past they put hidden messages (for a lack of a better term) inside the city textures themselves as a part of storytelling. Is this maybe a left-over from the Assassin plot?

Oh, I think I've already read that site. Is that all yours? *CENSORED* awesome man!

There aren't any plans to do that. However, apart from a few constructs, I heard they had worked on a few additional areas. There was some kind of a power plant with zombies, and possibly some other area they keep in secret.
My theory would be the freeway system since it was already modeled for the movie and I think Rarebit mentioned they had had some kind of an intention to do that.

To a question concerning his world design abilities, he also stated that he basically was able to create some kind of new district or neighborhood, but from what I've read, it would probably be some sort of copy of what we already have.

Just repeating, they don't have plans, but you shouldn't completely give up your hopes.

There seems to be a new power finisher for the Self Defense style where you're grabbing your opponent's throat with one hand and performing a few additional hits with the other. I've never seen that one before, so I guess it's a CR 2.0 feature.

Since I've hardly used Self Defense back then, here's question to those who have: Are there more finisher changes in the Self Defense style? Have any further been added or removed? Does that particular one now replace an old animation?

There's a grab one where you I think are supposed to pick the guy up and like spin him around and throw him down, but it never works right so your person just stands there while the bad guy spins around in the air hehe it looks funny ^^

This is most probably one of the Lupine abilities in a place it's not supposed to be. I've only experienced it in Self Defense about two times, but I'm sure it's exactly the same animation the victim of that Lupine attack performs.

From a gaming point of view, you could compare them to a PvP battelground with unique mobs an loot.
Yep, as soon as you enter and exit the safe zone you are PvP tagged.
They are good fun but the selection is VERY limited, I look forward to a few more but as far as I can say there are none planned.
I guess I live and hope.

There are actually a few different constructs modeled out and accessible via some exploit (the screenshots I saw were quite impressive), but I don't think they're likely to be introduced anytime soon.

By the way, it would be just the usual pattern:
when they're inaccessible, people start screaming "Wow, those look awesome! Could you include them, even if without loot and NPCs?" - and when they're out (like the org constructs recently), it just goes like "Ok, just areas to look at - where's the content?"

Just marginally.

Wasn't that an Aikido move? If yes, it's not new at all.
