It's good to have a character at fifty just for PvP purposes.  But I kno what you mean,  *rumages throughaccount and pulls out a lvl 30 merv alt*

man c'mon be serious Vector does not ZERG....we are a freindly bunch.. we let everyone pass through Mara c Untouched....

Earlier today four members including myself of a machinist faction raided a zion zombie party in mansen park.  This is not bragging nor is it an invite for FLAMEBAIT.  So don't do either.

This is a discussion on wethor it is right or wrong to do this.

 I have played several MMO's including WoW, GuildWars, MuDs, and messed around with a few othes.  In all of these Ninja Looting was seen as wrong.  However unlike those worlds ((with the exception that I will get to in a second)), The Matrix Online exists in a contest state of war ((especially on this servor)) and we are not supposed to be chummy chum's with the other party. 

However your not my org or my faction and 99% of you have don't seem to mind taken pot shots at me during in an LET event ((and a lot of you anyother time)).  So how does that change anything when its not an LET event.

World of Warcraft, your enemies are clearly defined they look evil/good and you look the opposite.  You attack them, and they attack you.  There are incident's when they are 40 lvls below you and you just don't touch them and there are raid's where anything and EVERYTHING is for grabs.

Discuss.

Wake up............the real world has you.  And it's telling you that your late for work.

It's been a while since I have logged in but It's nice for people to think that you have not just up and left the game.   I'm still around though......I have been busy.  Been all around the central pacific ocean working on various projects and doing...well stuff.  But I should be back on around the end of october.   To ronin, though you may be good people I do not know If i will be staying with you.  I really don't know any of you, and so I will probabley take my leave when iget back.  To the cypherites......... just wait a couple more weeks and then you will have more fire power.

I find myself somewhere in the middle of the Pacific on a little island called majuro ((which happens to be the capitol of the martial islands)).....for the biggest city in the area.... it's only about as wide as a football field.

Scary though.  Anyways it's been a while but I am still around I should be in around the end of october.   Having fun out here and learning a lot to. 

Hopefully after i am done will be able to post some of my deed's and misdeed's so you can all have a big laugh.

Anywho's I told my faction "Liquid Hyuza" that I would be back, not quite back but I haven't forgotten about you guys.  Will be back in a few weeks.

Hello.

*cough*

Anyways, just wanted to let you guys know I wasn't dead.  Right now my job seem's to have taken me to singapore.  Wonderfull place, once you get past the infamous orchard tower"

hehe

Anyway's having a blast will get some pictures of some training I did where I got OC'ed in the face.

ARGHHHHH!!!!!! I will never do that again.

That would require the whole individual thought process.

Oh wait....its zionites.......that doesn't exist

See you in a bit.

So let me get this straight, your basicly serving up similer functions as TBM, along with combat,lvling, and hitman "operations".

*digs out the list*

So if you wanted to see a few people die.  How would you go about that?

It is.

But as long as you claim they fled the servor, there will be conflict, and ego's will get in the way.

They are where they are, and you are where you are.

Let it rest.

you guys didnt know that Alcapwwnt aka Disch0rd is the best pvper/dueler in MXO ya man heres a pic of him uber pwning me on syntax since hes god like on there

You will be missed onion head.

PO3 Darkmagician.

Welcome to the machine's and welcome to syntax.

 Enjoy the forums as well,  they tend to be interesting and very errrr..... informative.

Most of the people you will meet in the matrix are good honorable people ((avoid The Authority like cyphilis)). j/k

Welcome to the matrix kid.

Then I have to hand it to u.

Me I am a greedy b@st@ard.  But I do have to hand it to you.

I have to agree with, RareBit is the heart of this game and god forbid he leaves, this game goes byby along with him.

Mxo is filling a niche in the gaming market, which is why it keeps a lot of its core player base.  However I would say that with the next generation of MMO's you will see mxo die.  There are not enough players to keep it afload, till then it will tread water. 

 Again and again players have said this.  More content will keep this game up longer, but to do that SOE has to go and put money into this game, and put effort into creating more media attention on it.

Not all of us from syntax vanished. *shrugs* Personally I like it on vector.  Wish I could finish lvlingup my character  (dam work schedule). 

So as to which Loadouts are master Loadouts for hacker.

Ravager/Ballistae-

With this its a spamming of DOT's upgrade attacks and logic cannon 2.0

Ravager/Destroyer

DOT,DOT,DOT,DOT till one of you drops ((throw in the occcasion destroy/bottneck/slow/pacifie))

Artillerist/Destroyer

((insidious code,destroyer, area hacks till he runs away))

Ballistae/Destroyer

((upgrade attacks,slow,bottleneck,destroyer,logic cannon 2.0,  dev field))

Vector.  This is most peoples main duel discipline.  It has excellent Accuracy and its DOT's can be extremely powerfull ((think 150 damage a click)) and low IS using.  Vector and Ravager viruses both Debuff your opponets VD for a good chunk of time.  Generally speaking most people will spam infect area and the single target DOT and hope.  It also houses the area pacifies which both lower the opponets Viral Resistance and gives him a stun like state that lasts till he's damage.

Network Hacker-  This is probabaly the most "support" like hacker disipline out there and personally I don't really play with it very much.  You have Overheat which drops your opponest Melee Damage Resistance, Code Shock Which momentarily gives your opponets States ((one shot at that ki charge sweep)) pacifies....combat downgrades...........you get the idea...

Wow.....three hackers who mean serious buisness.

I feel depressed........

CR2 Hacker while not nearly as powerfull and effective as CR1 is still one of the better loadouts to go with.

I will just hit the tree's up.

Destroyer-  This is probabaly the main "support" discipline tree of the hacker family.  Its key abilities are all major team debuffs.  Destroyer itself gives -120 Resistance to all resistances so that alone is usually sufficient to sway the way the battle goes and it lasts long enough to make serious use of. Devestate+Despoil ((which lowers ballistic/melee accuracies and defenses)) usually last long enough to sway the outcome of a fight and since your gonna attack abou 5 enemies with the virus and hit maby 2-3 ((on avg)) it will change the outcome of a fight.  Other abilties of note are the zone of powerlessness which I find limited, the only use is to throw off any Patchers I see running around.  I will generally hit them with that and throw their timing off but overall its an ability I don't use.  Plauge Zone 2.0 and 1.0 are in the same field as the vector abilties and that loadout will be covered in a bit.  However bottleneck field which lasts 18 seconds is one of the most usefull abilties I have and one of the main ways I control the fight in both duel and mass pvp.Dev field is also a nice ability however.  It takes a while , but if you can get it off.  It will generally mean trouble for the opposition.

 Artillerist-Meat and Potatoes.  This is what you will see most people in big fights running around with.  It stacks with destroyer nicely and unlike destroyer the ballistae is your buff you have running.  it has a few abilities besdies code nuke and its pair which deal your main damage.  Insidious code is the the stacker to destroyer and when the two are togeather your code nukes will deal in the range of 1000 damage a pop.  Trust me....even if they don't realize at first that will usually get most enemies running like scared puppies.  it has the ability to incrase your nukes range along with overheat 2.0 which is....okay.....

 Now the two trees togeather have one more ability I bring up and its one that is largely ignored.  Static Field, this ability creates a aura of continuous damage behind you which tends to screw spies up.  Which will save stress later, it is also a low IS using ability....though i tend to drop it when I need IS ((dam combat states))

 Ballistae..ahhh sweet sweet ballistae, this was the main stay in CR1, its not as nearly good as it was.  it still has a few abilities that should be brought up besides logic barrage and logic blast.  Upgrade attacks.....gives a HUGE boost to your viral accuracy and lasts for a decent amount of time.  It is a standby for most hackers.  LogicCannon2.0, most 50 hackers ignore 1 and go straight to 2 with a huge viral DPS and a long casting time this is your most powerfull hack when it comes to straight up damage.  This is guarenteed to F*C* them up but good if it hits.  Other than that, ballistae is rather lack luster.

I would but.....WorldOfWarCrack has a following that is pretty high numbers compared to MxO though MxO has more intellegent players on average  (( I have played both games long enough to get a good statistical sampling with a small amount of variance)).  Not only that I still have yet to see the video tape of something choking the chicken to a MxO chick ((I wish I had the link))

Not only that, but MxO players are more evil in general

IE http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/..._id=12200017035

Note Do Not OPEN LINK-I am not legally liable for what you will see.

are you sure that they didn't use one of the state causing attacks like off-balancing through or staggering throw and following that up with a dot attack....

best bet is to get a friendly spy and do it about and use two dot for about 7 mins, that should give you an idea about how often that works....

btw while you are doing that can you wear the self healing items-pancea and ghost shirt....i want to know how often those kick on as well

LoL Joob,  I guess it comes up when you only really have an issue.  I don't have to many problems with spies. 

*shrugs* It depends on how you play your class I guess.  StaticField1.0   However your right If I get nailed with powerless I am screwed, but usually that doesn't happen.  I don't face many spies either.  Your right about intrlock, but thats why I stay out of interlock by use of slow, bottleneck, and roots.  Most PvP that I have to run into don't seem to want to spam AB's

Anyways...Laters

Sorry I couldn't see buying one of those. 

It's an honor to have one.  To either have some one think of you highly enough to get one, or be good enough to kill the assassin for one.

 Buying it would take the honor and destroy the coolness factor of having one.

LTB anything with the following buffs.

MeleeA 3%

BallisticD3%

MeleeD3%

Feng/DM

 I prefer 45-50 but will consider 40.

lol, that would work pretty well....

Hey if a dev read's this, is it against the EULA for a player to run a gambling set-up in game using only $info.

I know that you can't do it in GW and I don't think you can do it in World Of WarCrack.

not every player needs the same buffs. and um's arent really meant to be able to superpower a whole team before combat. for instance. mkt or sniper isnt really meant for interlock. so save time and just maintain ugm and ct buff for them. ma dosent need damage as much as resistance. so give them fastheal, ct, dodge and bolster health, guns need mostly damage and hackers need damage only. make macros to buff each type of player to do it faster and use less brain power and focus on your own innerstrength regen. ugm arent really supposed to fight so dont buff your self with anything but effenciency and movement acc and sweep urself often.

doin anything to the timers with just create builds that are too godly for pvp imo. plus open up the doors for more nerf crying.

To the owner of this post.

If this was the old system of forums . You would have just gotten 5 stars.

i tend to ignore movie as he is obviously the result of *CENSORED* adoption rights. anyways.

one on one i beat most guns easy. some give me a harder time than others. but for the most part doofus is completly wrong. guns arent supposed to beat ma. as a matter of fact. no skill is supposed to be able to beat another skill. they all have their strengths and weaknesses. why dont you put the assassin build in the closet and learn another skill tree. you dont have a clue what your talkin about.

my point isnt with interlock. heres why guns are balanced. they have more accuracy and are very defense with low damage( duelist builds ) to make up for that they also have ranged attacks and can go from interlock type to ranged type ( such as sniper ) to better adapt to the situation.

ma does much more damage in interlock with more powerful abilities. but dosent have any ranged attacks and cannot adapt to the situation. if your ma and your outnumbered the most you can do is change clothes and get all the resistance you can. wich wont help that much.

so my question is this. why shouldnt ma get a defense bonus to counter guns ability to go from interlock class to ranged class.

Okay I am going to respond to both the MA comments and the hacker comments.  First of all in all of these builds it is not the class that is "weak"  It is your attribute point selection which changes the class.  A lot of people follow the 30/30/13 Rule In order to get max dam/max accuracy In their chosen field.  This is why gunnies tend to win fights against MA's of lower skill lvl.  But as you go up in experiance you will find that most players do not.  {b}  REPEAT DO NOT {/b}  do this. Their attributes are what they think works for their chosen profession.

And as to hackers.  I do not know why everyone busts on hackers.  While I do have trouble killing MA's as a hacker  I have absolutely no issue obliterating most normal Gunman  (which constitutes 90% of intrlock classes).

Let me put it to you this way.  I can overheat you to ruin your MDR, I can despoil you to ruin your ballistic and melee accuracy.  I can use combat shutdown and make your attacks pitifull.  I could spam DOT's and use overheat to deal about 150-300 damage a click.   He11 I could even do it the brutal way and hit insidious/destroyer and spam area hacks and watch your health go down the toilet.  ((If you don't beleive load up your typical gunner load find DarkMagician and hit ./duel))  I can upgrade my attacks to make that logic cannon 2.0/devestate deadly following insidious/destroyer .

 ....................

To anyone who read the former posts.  If you still believe that hacker blows chunksthen go ahead and ignore that hacker and attack that area healer.  But when your dead.  Don't ask me why.
