There is no doubt that if this is useable in PvP, it will be employed to find weaknesses to attack. That is counter to the intent of maintaining integrity in duels and tournaments.
PvP is free for all, no restrictions, so I fail to see any benefit for having this available in PvP.
Even with a 10 second timer, it will be used in PvP regulary to analyze the opponents if it is available. Perfectly good assignment for a level 15....

So what you're saying is that players could use this info strategically, and that a level 15 could actually participate in PvP. I think you're arguing for it in PvP, not against. :smileytongue: If everyone has it, I don't see an issue.

I wasn't manipulating your opinion. I think it is pretty clear. I was just pointing out that the problems you listed for having the tool in PvP could also be seen as good things by others. Plus, I included a friendly smiley, because I'm... er... friendly. :smileytongue:

Actually this was just removed because it made no sense

True, but it was always good for a "*CENSORED*?!!!", and I hardly ever encounter a Succubus in combat. Maybe it's because I'm a Merv operative?

Like the others said, not a whole lot has changed. Most of the
time and effort has went into Live Events, which if you haven't played
since the first month, doesn't matter much to you. However, SOE
is scaling back the events and concentrating on bug fixes and new
content, like Pandora's Box. Good things are on the way.
I'd say check back in a month and see how things are going.

Site Update: 10/29/2006

MxO Config 1.0 is available. Get it here.

Two new End of Beta videos recently surfaced. You can find them on the End of Beta page.

Added 2006 links to Halloween Masquerade page.

Created a new Game Developments page which contains upcoming and past developments. Moved the World Merge, Pandora's Box, and Combat Revision 2.0 links here.

Added latest Chapter 5 links to the Cheat Codes page.

Updated layout and links on the Neighborhood Contacts page

Faith. Once it's gone, there ain't no getting it back. No one knows this better than Morpheus. The "prophecy" didn't work out like he thought. The powers that be used this faith as a manipulation. That's gotta crush anyone's belief system. Maybe that's why Morpheus is so intent on having Neo's body. It's more than a symbol of sacrifice. It represents Morpheus' last shred of faith, and he won't... he can't let it go...

The Hunt for Morpheus

Site Update: 10/30/2006

Journal entries and commentary have been completed for Choice and Consequence, SOE Takes Over, and The Kill Code.

Remember we're talking about Damage Per Second, so the cast time should be taken into account. For example, Logic Cannon 2.0 has lower DPS than Logic Barrage 4.0, but it does more damage in one hit because it takes so long to cast. How long does it take to cast Spinning Backsweep compare to the others?

10 dps * 2 seconds = 20 damage
5 dps * 6 seconds = 30 damage
So with this as an example, the one with 10dps still is more effective seeing as you can use it 3 times (not using a reuse timer seeing as its just an example) in the same time the 5dps one does 1 attack. So the 10dps one does 60 damage in 6 seconds and the 5dps one 30.
Whoa, I think I get it now

Exactly, but it's not a given that the 10 DPS is more effective. For the spy example, the amount of damage you can do on the first hit may be more important than the amount you can do over time.

Agreed, although isn't cast time always 4 seconds in interlock (I could be wrong)? They would have to come up with a way to show both in and out of interlock.

Wow didn't even know these were still in game!! How were they orignally acquired?

I
think Bartendar's used to sell them, along with the Health
Inhalers. They were added at about the same time. Unlike
the inhalers, they could be decompiled and coded. I used them on
several occasions. There is often an alternative route or a nice
tidbit of information that involves hacking a computer, so they were
nice to have. I don't see how they cause balancing issues
though. I guess someone decided "no grants", so they were taken
back out. :smileymad:

Yes, thank you devs for all the hard work on CR 2.0 and everything else over the past year. It's been a rocky road to be sure, but I'm looking forward to what's coming next. :smileyhappy:

Site Update: 12/30/2006

Journal entry and commentary have been completed for Double Cross.

Renamed Chapter 2.2 page to The Flit Gun and finished journal entry and commentary.

Hey SJ how come you dont play no more

Eh, mostly real life. Too busy and bored with the game. I've always expected it to be a temporary break, so I will probably be back soon when things slow down a bit. Is The Company still around? After going through a lot of guilds, a lot of the original members are The Company again in WoW. Funny how things come back around sometimes.

I'm not sure if I knew that there was a ninth set of fragments during the Vashuo murder event. I think I've seen some screenshots of fragments in that location, but I guess it didn't really register. What did the ninth fragment say?

And what's that weird expanding code effect over them in your screenshots?

Some details varied on each server, but the traitor was always Toorima. On Proxy server, the mission briefing tells you (or at least hints) that Toorima's mission was in Gracy Heights. As you can see on the map, frag RIS was found in Gracy Heights, indicating that RIS was Toorima's cell phone signal. The second message tells you that the traitor was at the center of all mission locations, which you can see as the cross section on the map. The frags at this location also said RIS, which told us that Toorima was the traitor. Make sense?

I found the frags at just the right time to see the code effect. I don't think many people saw that, so I'm glad I got screen shots. I figure the devs put that in to help players find them. The lag around that area helped as well ;o). I only took a few of the frags so other people could solve the puzzle. Unfortunately, someone came up after me and cleaned them out. Considering they only spawned every hour or two, a lot of people didn't get to see them. I guess it was a competitive thing, but I thought that was a bummer. They should have spawned a lot more often to give everyone a chance to figure it out.

Site Update: 1/1/2007

Added a new page for Chapter 5.3 through 6.2 called Unlimit, which includes live event and other links through the end of the year.

Added links to MegaCity Times issues on Cheat Codes and Unlimit pages. Good stuff.

Yeah, I had trouble on how to split that up, especially since I haven't played 5.3-6.2 SMILEY

. I just went by Anome's declaration of "Unlimit" in the cinematic. It'll be a long page, but maybe I'll put 4.3-6.1 on the Cheat Codes page. I consider it one big story thread anyway. Thanks for the feedback. SMILEY

Site Update: 1/7/2006

Death of the Destroyer event journal and commentary has been completed.
Moved Chapter 5.3 and 6.1 to the Cheat Codes page, keeping the Anome storyline together.
Renamed the Unlimit page to the Chapter 6.2. Maybe I'll give it a better name later.
Moved Halloween 2006 to the Chapter 6.2 page to keep it chronological.
Fixed broken DN1 links.

Site Update: 1/7/2006

Journal entries and commentary have been completed for Enigma of Cryptos , Veil of Cryptos , Cheat Codes, and Chapter 6.2 . You know what this means don't you? It means I'm all caught up on past events! I know some of the entries are a bit thin, but I hope you enjoy them just the same. It takes me forever to write them, so thank you for taking the time to read.

Whew! It's been a busy day! Actually, I posted the last update at 1:00 AM this morning, but that still counts as today, I guess. Time to take a break.

Site Update: 2/5/2007

The site has been down for a few days, but it's up and running now. Thanks Turbo! SMILEY

Added links to Chapter 6.2 page.
Created a new page for Chapter 6.3.
Added RSI Pills to the Game Developments page.

... Whereas if we don't need a custom model, a chump like me can hack a pretty decent RSI together in our tools (with maybe a little help from a text editor here and there) in, say, an hour or so, depending on how picky we are about it, just by picking pre-existing model parts and putting them together, then swapping textures around on them, and changing the color tint overrides.

Which means you have some Frankenstein freaks you've put together for fun, am I right? How 'bout some screenies? SMILEY

Site Update: 3/8/2007

The site was down again for a bit. DNS problems, but I think I've got that worked out. Hopefully, it will stay up for a while now.

Added latest links to Chapter 6.3 page.
Created a new page for Chapter 7: The Real .
Added Second Anniversary Event to the Game Developments page.
Added www.mxo.it to the front page links. I don't speak Italian, but this is an excellent site.

Does anyone have this posted or archived? This is the one released right before Chapter 6.1. I used to download them myself, but I got lazy when MxO Archive and MxO Resource posted them. Neither site has this one right now. If you have this posted somewhere, please send me a link and I'll add it to my site. If you have the files backed up, send me a PM and we'll arrange to host the files on my site.

Thanks!

Site Update: 3/24/2007

Chapter 7: The Real : Added latest links and a new section for the Second Anniversary.
Chapter 6.3: Added latest links.
Cheat Codes: Added The Sentinel 9-27-2006. Thanks TekMon!

Is the site down?

The site is hosted by thex.fm, which unfortunately goes down occasionally. Turbo usually gets it back up and running within a day or two. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hmmm... I'll have to find out the latest. In the meantime, the site is currently up and running. Here's an update:

Site Update: 4/24/2007

MxoStory.com is up and running again, and it should stay up. Thanks to Turbo and TheX.fm for hosting the site as long as they did. There are some broken links, but I'll get them fixed in the next update.

Site Update: 7/4/2007

The site is back online and should stay online! Thanks to Turbo and TheX.fm for hosting the site for as long as they did. That was a good site, and I hated to see it go.
There were a lot of broken links as a result of moving the site, but all should be fixed now. If you find some that are still broken, please send me an email.

Chapter 7: The Real

Sorry for the double post, I guess I can't edit. You can read properly formatted update notes here:

Hi sugaree,

Did you write reviews for Rose and Cerulean? I've been linking to all of your reviews from my website (http://mxo.mxostory.com/neighborhood2.html), but I don't have links for those two.

Thanks!

Sure did! Check out my blog- manifoldmischief.blogspot.com for both.

Can you provide links please? I see your mention of them in the WestView wrap-up, but I can't find the individual entries. Thanks!

The NVidia drivers are now easier to install with Tweakerizer. I didn't notice a major difference, but it may have given my FPS a little boost on Highest Detail. Besides, I think my main bottleneck for that setting is RAM (1GB). YMMV.

Site Update: 10/4/2007

It's been a long time ... again. What can I say? I'm a busy guy. SMILEY

The latest cinematic for Chapter 8.3 interested me enough to catch up on the story, so here we go...

    * Divided Chapter 7 into separate pages for each subchapter.
    * Added new pages for Chapters 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3.
    * Added dev story summaries from WarCry and Data Node One directly into each page, starting with Chapter 6.3. A few less clicks is a good thing.
    * Added links to Othinn's transcripts on the excellent, new and improved! "Archival Science" site.
    * Updated the Game Developments page.

Whoa! Page 999.

So, how do you like maintaining and enhancing an existing system versus working on something totally new?

What a great movie! I saw it in IMAX last night, which was a bit overwhelming at first for a dialogue-heavy movie, but I got used to it and enjoyed the experience. Natalie Portman did an excellent job and put out some emotional performances. Same for Hugo Weaving, in spite of the mask. The Wachowski Brothers are masters at making you think, without telling you what to think, and this movie was no exception. It's a bit theatrical, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. It gets a B+ at Yahoo! Movies, which is about the best you could expect for a movie like this.

Regarding Alan Moore, it seems he is bitter towards DC and Hollywood, so he didn't want anything to do with the movie from the start. I don't think that should reflect on the movie, and it continues to be endorsed by David Lloyd (Illustrator). You'll have to decide for yourself if the movie upholds the spirit of the graphic novel. In the end, it doesn't really matter. This is a good movie.
