Re: Walrus

I vote to have an Events forum in the World Section.

Matter of fact why not do the best of both worlds.

Example

World1

--General

--Markeplace

--Recruiting

--Events

World2

--General

--Markeplace

--Recruiting

--Events

AND

An Events section which is simply the events forums

Events

--World1 (points to the above forum)

--World2 (points to the above forum)

w00t everyone is happy and is probably do-able with the BBS software you have access too.

This is the best idea I've seen regarding this issue... It seems to combine the best of both worlds (or all three, really).

Nothing is firmly decided yet as far as locations go. Honestly, it doesn't really matter which club or other location we end up using, because if a story places the main character in a club, we'll just make that be the same club.

I'd recommend against trying to write with specific concerns as to space. For example, it would take you a while to run or drive from Downtown to Richland... But there are always hardlines. I don't think we can break completely from the world of the Matrix in creating these things, so something like an instantaneous mode of transportation via hardline is a definite possibility.

Still, I will say that the current fore-runners in the "common places" category are:

Club Succubus - Stamos
Camon Heights Congregational Church - Camon Heights
Yeung Park - Murasaki
and "That Bridge in Maribeau" - Maribeau

These are simply suggestions, and may not be the final locations. We will definitely, however, be using some kind of club, some kind of church, some kind of park, and some kind of bridge.

Thanks for your continued interest in this venture.

Hey, Keep that Data Miner tree... It'll be useful soon...

- Void

I'll definitely be there on Recursion.

- Void

Yes.

I think it's a bit ironic that some parts of the Matrix films, in writing, would not be able to be posted on these boards... But on the other hand, I do understand the need to market the game to a broad (yet targeted) audience. Personally, I like a good, dark tale of the Matrix. I suppose a medium will have to be reached with that.
Hopefully the upcoming MegaCity comic will be "fit to print" here. If not, I suppose we can always link it.

- Void

Well, most of it took place in the Real... But let me talk it over with Trax and see what we can't come up with...

- Void

Come on, Walrus.
The Redpill Special is a great gun.
I mean, I've seen a lvl 50 do as much as 15 damage with one of those puppies. SMILEY

- Void

Just got this puppy, and I'm looking to sell it to the highest bidder. Make me an offer I can't refuse...

(I bought it for 23 million, so let's start the bidding there, shall we?)

- Void

PS. The stats on the item are as follows:

Sakura Ninja Bandana O o

Melee Physical Damage Resistance: (9%)

Ranged Physical Damage Resistance (9%)

Viral Deflection (50pts)

Focus (15 levels)

I believe you're thinking of the sign outside Club Avalon in Midian Park.
Unfortunately, the inside isn't very theatrical.

- Void

Actually, what he's talking about makes a lot of sense.
It's not real physics. It's just an extra animation.
It wouldn't have to be more than a little wave of the fabric when running or jumping.

- Void

That'd be a nice time... Run through things, kill some masked men, and top it off with Midnight's Halloween Party later that evening.

- Void

I think what he's saying is that the rifleman abilities don't add to your rifle tactics, they add to RCT. If that's the case, it's a bug.

- Void

I believe that there is a player event planned for exactly that time on exactly that day...

I'm not sure how much the two will conflict for attendance, but I know
I'd like to be able to hit both, if some schedule tweaking can be
done...

- Void

Definitely... The more stuff we get, the better.

- Void

Surprisingly, this is the first whole thread I've bothered to read in a while.

And it looks good... very good. As much as I'd like to play through
things and try to win myself a prize, if you guys happen to need
anything in the Exile department, I know some extremely
visually-disturbing individuals who would simply love to volunteer for
a position...

- Void

Once again, a big thank you from the community at large for putting this together.

- Void

(Apparent temporary spokesperson for the community at large)

Wow. I need to put that quote on something, Gothique...
Maybe a flag.
That's just the whole PVP experience in a nutshell.

- Void

Here's what I'd like to see working on Vector, at least...

Everyone should be able to PVP against anyone. Let's throw duels right out. First of all, they never happen on Vector in any great amount, second of all, it's easier to reconstruct at a hardline then to sit until your health is full again. Besides, spend a week there and you'll be well-used to reconstructing...

Anyway, at first, it would be chaos, because I know for a fact that many players only ally with other members of their org because the game won't allow them to kill them. However, after that initial chaotic period, stronger alliances would form, discouraging lone-wolf behavior, and honestly improving the community as a whole. Plus, I think it would keep truer to the original ideal of the PVP server. I mean, the whole point is that you should be able to choose whether or not to fight anyone. Anyone.

So... That's what I think of that.

Obviously, it wouldn't work quite as well on a non-hostile server, but I still don't like the idea of having people you can't kill. I mean, put in some repercussions for killing a fellow org-mate, maybe... I doubt the Merovingian would mind if I polished off a few of his lesser followers from time to time... SMILEY

- Void

Two proxy masters, fighting away from a hardline, will turn into hackers real quick.
Then, it's just who has a better VT/VD loadout and more IS.

- Void

I would like to see a system where you can generate an Avatar that looks like the character portrait in the upper-righthand corner of the UI. Maybe even with a little number under it showing that character's level.

- Void

Congratulations.
Nice Zen Master shots, too.
I can't wait to try that out...

- Void

Gunmen are simply too close in interlock, especially versus a Martial Artist or other hand-to-hand fighter.

While I realize that mid-range interlock had to be removed for the good of the 2-participant system, the extreme close range that characters are currently set at is simply no good for gunmen. Under the old system, Martial Artists used to close the distance with a successful move, and gunmen used to increase it. Frankly, I don't see the need for the removal of this system, as it allows interlock battles to look more natural (and certainly does away with that problem of guns sticking through one's opponent's body).

As physical distance in interlock is rarely enough to affect combat (most specials go out to a distance of 4 meters), it seems like playing with distance depending on what animation is shown wouldn't really affect the "hard" aspects of combat, while it would certainly make things look more realistic.

Am I nuts? Discuss.

- Void

I've been following this one for some time, now... Tragic, really.
Maybe someday, Mr. Masters will find his happy ending...

- Void

Definitely Persephone...
I'd post some pics, but... Yeah.

Actually, right before the merge, the LET started being more active again (you would too, if you were going to lose your job), and I personally loved it. That sort of interaction was what made me play through the bugs and crazyness.

I hope that things will eventually move back into that direction.
If no other solution to having live actors can be found, I'm sure there are tons of players with more-than-sufficient RP skills who would gladly volunteer to take on the role of a character.

- Void

Ingus is an amusing character, to say the least.

- Void

MXO is the storyline.
EverQuest isn't driven by events and special characters the way this game is. I think adding that stuff into a game that can already stand on its own is an extra feature for that game, as opposed to a standard feature of a game like MXO. Do I think they should be charging for it? No. It'd be the same as having two versions of this game - one with bugs, one without - and charging more for the bug-free version.

- Void

There HAS to be a command or something to add new groups... A lack of organization kills a community faster than anything.

- Void

Well, obviously moves like Rifle Butt Smash and Pistol Whip should be close range.
But the other moves need to be moved back a touch.

- Void

I rather like the jacket...

I am the Shadow of Recursion...

The filters are there for a reason. SMILEY

Thanks for the submissions already received. Keep 'em coming, guys and gals.

- Void

Hey, I tried to find you first. Just ask Disco.

... Anyway, I'll find you sometime and we can talk.

- Void

Maybe they should think about making certain knives available in interlock.
The whole "flipping backwards and firing" is nothing new if you've used any of the pistol specials. Why not incorporate this with knives, and maybe add a little bullet-time into the mix?

- Void

By the way, sometimes "staggering throw" used to leave a knife in your RSI's head for a bit. I'm not sure why it doesn't do that anymore.

I got a PM about them... Not sure why no one posted here, but if I can get them, I'll code you up copies.

- Void

I'm interested in Karate and SMG, but I do have parts of both of those
trees... Is there any chance I could get somewhat of a deal on them?
Anyway, come find me sometime. I'll be around fairly often.

- Void

Well, since I'm at least assured of making back what I spent on the thing, I'll let this go until tomorrow, at which point whoever has top bid will be the winner. If for some reason they are unable to pay, the item will then go to the runner-up. Thanks to everyone who bid or has yet to bid on this fine bandana.
