Either way, if you don't like being ganked your first mistake is making a character on vector, your second is not furiously tapping 'c' when you pop out of hardline, and or going to a HL with people around it (as noticed by the variated color of the name of the hardline in the list, this can also be used to run around HL attacking people =P).

Another good tip is to apply your title buff, shield and what not at some remote location then HL to wherver it is you were going.  Or you could do what i do and have your title buff ready to activate in your hotbar the second you pop out, shield second, hypers can be applied mid-fight =P

Vinia do you have green code turned off in your useropts?

Tabor West became the hotspot for PvP on Syntax last night (with a few elements of RPvP thanks to Chloe <3) Again only one or two people HJ'ing away from a fight (I like to HJ into the fight if it's some distance from the HL) but is was fun. Most people were fighting to the death coming back out (or getting rezzed) and getting back in. And not too much trash talking either!

Every kill is a temporary advantage, every death is a temporary setback.... in equal numbers anyway!

I've recently become very accustomed to MA, which I haven't played in over a year. It's as if the dread that your opponent is feeling when you interlock them is tangible.

I never saw an agent use two guns.

I think you're getting mixed up with Duel and Dual.

Duel: A prearranged combat between two persons, fought with deadly weapons according to an accepted code of procedure, esp. to settle a private quarrel. Any contest between two persons or parties.

Dual: Composed or consisting of two people, items, parts, etc., together; twofold; double.

I.e. 'I challenge you to a duel' *slaps with back of a glove*

and  'Veil uses dual SMG's aswell'

(See how I fixed that! )

Very well then *Smacks you with metal gauntlet*

I don't think our developers can whine about it costing too much money, or taking too much time.  They get a paycheck to provide us with the type of game we want to play.  I want to see more Martial Arts styles in this game.  Three is not enough.  We all pay $15 a month for things like that.  The fact that MxO has been around for almost 3 years, and STILL does not have an expansion/higher level cap/the ability to add your own buffs to the clothing of your choice/etc... is a bit sad.

The Dev's get paid (because SoE is not a charity) but they get paid to provide us with a game that they can develop and maintain with the budget SoE gives them, they probably even get paid from that budget. They can provide what they can afford to provide. They give us what we would like if it can be included and if it can be budgeted for.

New trees mean new animations that means a lot of time with motion capture, the rental or purchase of the equipment, studio and trained personnel (I believe the current moves were done at the same time as the motion capturing for the films thus saving money), then there's the inclusion of it in game requireing major recoding then effects, balancing determining power levels and buff's de-buff's etc.... We pay $15 or £10 or whatever but what would that cover? Maintenance costs of the servers, Dev wages... barely (Theorys abound how the money gets split up...). We're only a small community and it would take a lot of money to implement an expansion and higher level cap (unnecessary imo) certainly a lot more than we're drawing in and then we probably won't draw too many more people to MxO to cover that cost.

The players are demanding and want a lot and the Dev's are doing what they can but they're not gonna take time out from their usual tasks (LE's etc...) to invest time in a major game alteration that they can't afford when there is a lot more other things the could and should be doing in the mean time.

...the worlds sneakiest most drawn out necro thread?

*cough*

If I remember correctly from beta MxO doesn't use motion capture (Granny Animation is it? *digs for old MxO manual*), they used the martial arts team Zero Gravity to help them study the different moves and have them recorded and discussed but after that all the animations were done by hand so more flexible animation templates can be made.

Necroing threads are fun btw " />

If any British players tried /smoke 'ing in an enclosed public space, they'll get fined £50 or jail time....  

Which would make an interesting emote...

Yes, it is a game..that involves pvp..something you probably have yet to try  out...I pvp on all the games I play and still realize it is just a game. Your post is the same as me saying...why play the game if you don't pvp? I mean you can also sit and warm up a bench in the real.

O_O lol?

3) Don't Hyper Jump or run, all it does is leave others to die and saves your selfish *CENSORED*.

2. When you die dont give the person who killed you the satisfaction of bitching just recon....

but I don't think adding extra abilities (even though there are a few I'd love to see) or powerful moves would be very welcome as it would unbalance what we already have.

As I stated before we aren't adding abilities, we are just changing the animation if a certain ability is loaded, in this case, the level 33 abilities.

If I use Lancet for the acc bonus and during IL I use the DPE ability which automatically uses a dual set of pistols, does the ability take into account the accuracy from the Lancet which was being used when the Ab was selected or the accuracy of the dual pistols that it uses?

My own tests lead me to believe that the accuracy is taken from your current setup and weapon, but you will not be able to use the ability unless you have the dual pistols in your inventory.

two org keys don't equal a single item i thought

Hee Pixie Licious!

A very useful guide especially as many of the Richland bosses, thus the first ones a new player could get, aren't listed on the Node guide as they don't drop access keys.

Good job!

...had this problem again last night using guns....was with DPE...and it was against you Vinia!! lol

In your character's directory in your MxO folder, are all of the files writable?

Nice necro. lol
