From the post itself. As long as SOE keep their grubby mits of development and Customer Support, It'll be fine.

That what the producers of Vanguard said first, but then they ran out of money and gave the game to SoE, let's hope Flying Lab has enough money to see this through to the end.

The "Big Dog" over at FLS has stated that they are fine financially and won't suffer the same fate as Vanguard. Something about where they get there money or something, I dunno the details. Long story short, PotBS is not an SOE game. It's an FLS game being Platform Published by SOE and it should stay that way. " width="15" height="15" />

Until the mysterious - "OMGWTF WHERE ALL MY MUNNIES GO!?!??!" happens as the head guy at SOE kicks up his feet sulking in his perpetual, stereotypical, and manipulative bad-guy overcast shadow.

If SOE assumes control of the developmental aspects of Pirates, I don't know if I'll keep with it. It looks to me like one of those games that really has creative potential like MxO, but can be overlooked by the masses. If that happens, it'll suffer the same fate.

Word is, that with the new station launcher setup, you'll have much more freedom in chat. I forgot the details but it's worth looking into.

EFK - 1,100- 1,200
Sky High - 800-900
Dim Mak - 1,200 -1,300
WDD - 1,400 - 1,500
Tomo Nage - 1,500 - 2,000
Ki Charge Footsweep - 1,900 - 2,200

All are unbuffed, assuming that MA Prowess + Power are what the moves are being preformed in. EFK and Dim Mak damage is listed assuming a Sky High Sidekick has landed before the attack. Tomo Nage damage seems to be erratic even when considering the innate buff activation before the damage lands.

Also, all are listed during everyday PvP. These aren't the highest damage possibilities, but what I seem to get when dealing with people who are using balanced resistance to all classes.

Timers break because of tactic switching. An ability will bug at the end of the round if either participant has used a DPE or Controlled Burst, and switches to block at the end of the round while the defender is still shown on the ground. You'll notice a brief lag time when the defender is getting up, and that's how you know it's broken.

Neeeecrooooo.

As I said in General Discussion.

'If you developers manage to re-implement even a handful of the animations that were removed from CR2, such as wall kicks and Disarms, I will festoon you with love.'

Festoon..festoon....say it. It sounds funny. "Festoon..."

I'm pretty sure that anyone who is left in MxO wouldn't mind shelling out another $40 for some new content. Worst case scenario: They don't pay and they still have content that comes from the normal patches.

God...yes... and you were using Kung fu correct? Could you perhaps make a stick figure diagram of how you were positioned, and tell us what tactic you were on?

They wouldn't hide new or new-rehashed content. If it's there, it's there.

I suppose that someone could've not gotten the memo, but Bay is probably right. I doubt we have enough content on average in the first place to warrant such a thing, as players are willing to take any bone that we can get. =/

Don't those wall kicks fit into the 4 sec animation timer, or whatever?
I think that because of the way CR2 is, for example, fighting and NPC's shooting through walls ect. I think the system doesn't allow to use a wall for running. Plus I don't think they were ever changed for the 4 second timer
The thing with Wallkicks were most of the time they were in bullet time and thereby went REALLY fast. In actuality, the attack is about the same as when your character flips on one hand and shoots the opponent, which is a speed single handgun finisher.

Fights never go near walls anymore because people don't take the time to really appreciate a duel. On Recursion I see long fights all the time where one measly wall kick would change boring duels to "*CENSORED* that was secks!". Too bad we can't earn special abilities, like pounce. Just redpill stuff, like Hyperstomp. Jump up in interlock and stomp on your opponent's head >.> I don't know about you guys, but if I could do that, I would call Dracomet my god (since he's the only one who codes this stuff.)

CR2 took the awesome out of fighting to make it less buggy.
Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness.
Be careful what you wish for.

All hail 9mmFu. Hail hail hail hail hail.

*waits for emails with Pounce and Blood Drink abilities*

Well...could you try breaking MxO in a...cooler way? =D

Though the nature and purpose of the Cypherites were revealed to the public as a "black ops" of the Machines, their purpose remains unchanged. Even with the war.

This is how I've always viewed the Cypherite org although my character doesn't fall right into the typical Cypherite radical stereotype. To me, the Cypherites have always done what the Machines have really wanted to do, but couldn't because of the appearance that they have to maintain. We cancel out EPN's overzealous efforts by adhearing to the same lack of boundaries displayed by that organization. CTU if you will. We terrorize the terrorists.

indeed there were two for karate. one was a backflip on to the wall, and leaping off to preform a classic boot to the head. the other was a simple turn around, jump and, again, introduce your foot to their face. the difference was small, but still there. some one once told me they were suicidal butterfly kicked by a succubus off of a wall in CR1, but i never saw that for myself. i wonder if that is still there, if it even exists?

Someone once told me they killed a level 50 with their level 35 before CR2.

Someone also told me they got to do Pistol Evasion in bullet-time.

I've never seen of or heard of these since.

There are useropts for enabling bullet time for every move, so I don't think that a slow-mo Pistol Evasion would be out of the question. 50's with 35's were easy with a TB+ some buffs, etc or hacker (assuming that the person didn't have any viral resistance).

what we need is a kill to death ratio. how many kills you have compared to how may death you have. play time means some..but sometimes you just log in and dont pvp. or take a long time to level. so playtime dosent neccessarily reflect wether your good or bad.
plus i dont personally count cq's from beta to a few months after launch. you oculd kil the same level 2 100 times in a row and get a cq everytime. plus you could just go afk on a team and collect every cq as well. alot of people that dont deserve a high cq count got them because of that. after they fixed it it was harder to rack em up.
id love a cq leader board that was updated everymonth from here on out with the following information
cq's earned
cq's given ( death )
overall kills
overall deaths
playtime
flagtime ( for nonhostile )
then rank us by percentage on a monthly basis. with rewards going to the best of the best. gawd..id probably log in twice as much for that.

K/D spreads only work in FPS's. It would only serve to show Hyperjump frequency in MxO.

Un-Sticky.

I hope that you're not referring to the rings around a player that we use to chase hyperjumpers...

Canadian Bacon will be there to defend his title of absolute pwng over ROADKILL!!!!

j/p

No updates?

This can be easily exploited.

The entire system is exploitable. Not just this aspect in particular.

Well, it would be cool. I think it might encourage people to abuse the system even more though. There are still quite a few bugs with cq, afaik.

I'm also very wary of the Concealment Countermeasure being abused. I expect that the zerg will employ an unflagged lowbie to spam the move repeatedly. There goes spy and sniper.

I couldn't imagine it being anywhere as good as before unless it was held in Vegas.

Roukan. Go Merv.

I'd love to see the Merovingian flex his digital muscles in some event with spammers, and just port them to some place akin to purgatory. They'd have to suicide to leave, it would be along RP guidelines, and it would discourage people ruining events for the rest of us. It would be hilarious as well.

grrrr down

It's funny how people comlained how the Machines were the least represented faction on vector yet they have the most people on the cq list.

It's true though. If you're the underdog, you're going to have more targets instead of being a Zionite and fighting your own team for a kill. More targets = more CQ.

When did Digital Reality go Cypherite? Had to have been towards the end of Kanjo's CQs if it did happen.

They're not Cypherites. Kanjo and friends subbed for like a day after 2 years and joined a Cyph faction that most of their friends were in, and left the same day. They haven't really 'played' since CR1 with the exception of ORIONREX.

Update

Tiango and Deecode are Catalyst members as well.

Definite props with this Hotfix. Good job Rarebit.

Favorite: MKT

Easiest Kill: UM

You didn't happen to have a Destroyer in your party, did you?

Please. Tell me: Why in god's name would you want to make things more difficult in obtaining items like Headgear? It's already the most tedious farming process in the game. It's not as if by lengthening the process more, more people are going to farm out the item on their own instead of having someone do it for them. They're just not going to attempt it at all.

Please stop breaking my Matrix. =[

Well, The reason i think Agents are 255 is simple. Follow with me.

The Max Value in a Color system is 255.
The Lowest is 0.

now, the Max Value in NPC levels is 255.

makes perfect sense.

I remember Morpheus NPCs to be pinged at 255 also. back in the day.
I think the level system is based on Hex (1 through 9, A through F, 10 through 19, 1A through 1F, 20 through 29, etc), whereas in a given amount of memory "FF" is the highest value (without having to increase the amount of memory used). FF translates to 255.

All programs, including Agents, are at a limited supply even for the Machines. Level 255 Agents are used to ensure that the victim will not take that Agent down or can not escape without a struggle, and are therefore used for keeping redpills and exiles away from more important areas. Agents lower than level 255 are used to protect less important things. I don't think Agents normally appear lower than level 50, or more definitely 45. Under Agents are Machine Captains, Enforcers, SWAT, and the lowest level security programs and bluepill security guards.

In short, story-wise, Agents that are level 255 are that level for a very good reason.

Even though this makes sense from a story perspective, it doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room. Morpheus, Niobe, etc are lv 60. Morpheus has killed an Agent. I believe that a (talented) level 50 character should be able to take down an Agent, but the Agent should have a great deal of resistance. After all, it would only add to the Matrix lore for you to be able to say that you've defeated an Agent alone.
