Lol V, this sort of reaction just shows that some people still care about what you and other admins/community reps have to say about the current situation. Yet you take it as if they are unsatisfied with what you're doing here.

Mxo sub running out, resubscribing to EVE. Other - Dystopia, STALKER:SoC and Clear Sky.

Right one imo.

For Tesarova, you could use the executable capture and a N30 frag. Although it kind of lacks the curves. <_<

Okay, ripoff is a wrong term, but it can be related. Looks like similar controls, city theme, some combat moves seem to resort on an interlock-esque mechanic.

Oh and don't forget, we're mxo players, we are supposed to be bitter about this.

IMO: Mxo ripoff with cartoony graphics, cartoon superopowers and ability to fly. Looks crap.

Plenty of people still playing, but morale is down. The game is a shell of its former self, but it still got enough content to keep a new player occupied.

Vector- forced pvp server, friendly to new people. Can seem empty, but it isn't.

Syntax- non-forced pvp, most populated server, but most of the time its pretty boring. People are just standing around 1 phonebooth doing nothing.

Recursion- non-forced pvp, equally full of drama queens and friendly people.

Yeah, that offer seems likely to have been closed ages ago. Apparently, it still allows you to post on these forums without paying anything, though. )

Grab a 2 week trial off the station launcher instead.

I've had some sucess against Valfreyja with high regen and gun/patcher hybrid load. Just imo it gets too drawn out, there's got to be a more efficient way.. And yes, i have tried shooting/hacking outside of the room, it takes even longer and is very boring.

She has high resists and damage, rolls are okay.

Hm, thats way better than the standard EVE nebulae. They are ages old, the backgrounds have stayed the same since 2003 release. <_<

Although the new wormhole space nebulae are nice.

Hey V, do all screenshots have to be eaxctly 1024x768, or will you allow lower resolution or black bars? I'd hate to see stretched 16:9 shots sized down without propper proportions.

Oh lawd, i think you all have forgotten what this topic was about.

What are recursionites trying to say, no need for merge? It sure sounds like that when you're defending your server's lack of activity in a merge discussion thread.

Seriously, what kind of impression would this thread give a merger dev team if they ever were to be assigned to go work on mxo for a bit?

Always pay attention to your subs. <_<

What happened to the lad? Got in trouble for mail spam?

Oh and lol CCP. Yeah they've grown, but theyve got their hands full with EVE and the vampire mmo, trust me. I'd rather have them stay with EVE, at least that sandbox got potential that is completely in player's hands, which only seems to work with the huge population numbers they have.

Well okay, it seems the main purpose of something like this is to get noticed. Nothing wrong with that.

There doesn't even have to be any ideas behind it, its just a cry for help, in the light of our powerlessness.

Will sign whatever forms, big deal.. Shouldn't just be a US thing, euro WB office contact info would be nice.

Its gone. Over. We don't even know what chapter we are in now, some kind of weird metastasis period with agents no longer attacking unauthorized redpills. A new dev will need to begin fresh, and there will be too much confusion and false leads to accept a new unconnected story. People will ask - "What about that wireframe woman, how did she fit in this", the answers are going to be "She doesn't, we had another dev doing that." Utter confusion, old returning vets will have no clue at all. People have grown used to the state of affairs created by Rarebit, something that can naver be repeated, too big shoes to fill.

You know its true. You want evens, some want crits back -on the basis of what? Were left in the nowhere. And as the community has proven once and once again - Rarebit deviated from the main known characters and his work was instantly dubbed un-matrixy. What would a nev dev do? He can't just make gray send machinists to kill ebil zion terrorists again, we need a lead that some people can relate to. And a new lead created by someone just entering the mxo scene has all the potential to be non-matrixy, thus unpopular.

There is an example - there could be an expanding lead from the Valkyrijar story snippet. Some new quests about defuct sexy Agent Pace prototypes - hooray, existing fanbase can relate. Oh but wait where's Pace then? Last she was seen threatening Ghost in the override construct - oshi thats another story. Confusing.

Please, let it die. Lets just have some easy official open-ended closure on the story development. Say the Machines have retracted the weaker (lvl100) agents to save power, rumors are they are building sentinels. The Oligarchs didn't find the BIP and retreated indefinitely, the executables are passively datamining for them, Cyphs and machinists are getting rid of the override traces. Zionites retracted their field officers from the simulation, the thermal images have been scrapped. Merv is... bored, mervlings too. Put it on an official cliffhanger instead of doing nothing and leaving as-is after rarebit left.

Or better yet- extend the Anniversary event. Say Smith is coming back, doing bad stuff to the matrix, so all forgot about their problems with each others species and are fighting the virus. Let it run that way till the servers close, wich sure sounds not far away.

Rofl, are you guys being serious with the candy stuff? Noone will even attempt to open those letters with food in them, lol.

Stylish, but who gives a cr**. Otherwise, the website is a good enough idea, if only people had constructive ideas to post instead of "lolgief spawntools, i wanna rule maytricks". I still stand on my idea as to no story content revival attempt to be made, its pointless. Instead, focus on the things that might have a chance on holding a community together for a longer time period.

More like ... crawl with me into tomorrow, ill drag you to your grave.

I'm sorry i'm posting on the last few hours of my subscription. If i must, i can try and be usefull so you all don't yell naysayer at me.

If you really really want this to have any sort of impact, drop the heaps of lyrical bull****. People that actually have a say, they don't care about how much the handful of players that is left loves the franchise.

They need clear propositions and ideas wich they can put an estimate subscribtion growth on, and from there on have some profit figures. And the profits gotta be big- its too big of a risk to throw more money and eployees on an old, abandoned project with questionable potential to become big again, rather than, say, put more dev powers into making expansion packs for their beloved EQ, or DCUO.

We need something clear. Sending em mails telling, in essence, this: "Oh hai, were still here, the matricks game you made, you know? Were bored. Do something plz kthx." - aint gonna help. Example? You can begin explaining why and how a continued story is desired but not possible, and propose something that would hold on to the still existing mechanics - orgs, faction functionality, pvp, even rp if you must. Personally, i'd love to see some objectives or territory holding mechanics implemented into pvp, so the players finally have a point to even jack in from day to day. An endless district conquest could make for some fun and drama, faction pvp awards/team cap points could finally bring some point to factions other than having /fc , /cc and the half-functioning faction bank. Things like that, you know?

Let em know if its worth any effort.

And what's at stake? Subscribtions? I mean, do we really have any means to bargain anything?

Seriously, not to be a partypooper, but with the current lack of any clear plans, no response on merge requests, it seems pretty much over.

If only there ws something to fight for/over, but there isnt. We don't even have any real means to do so.

That's probably because 2 kinds of shiny layers aren't compatible. Either the fancy tie wouldn't work.

What a mess.

I just hope the 5th anniversary will be the end. Give smithlings an insta-meatwad ability and make the skies red. <_<

Lol, at least get your facts right before casting his work aside as non-cannon.

Reinsertion not being possible wasn't just Rarebit's concept, it was Chadwick's, who stood even closer to the Wachowskis.

Second, Chadwick/Chamberlain storyline up to and including chapter 9 was read and accepted by the W brothers. That includes the Oligarch backstory, the Oracle's death and the 2 oligarchs in search of the BIP.

The Oligarch story made perfect sense, actually. What, you don't believe that there could be people that would betray the rest of humanity just to get rich and get on good terms with an army of angry, sentient, and intelligent robots?

As for now... Well, the machines have sacked the weaker agents to cut some ressource usage. Perhaps they are saving up power for something, like assemling more sentinels for anti-oligarch defense or somewhat.

The new oligarchs didn't find anything and left. They left some programs in Union Hill white hallss though, perhaps to passively dig some data for them while theyre gone.

Machine redpills are busy getting rid of them and the remainder of the overrides.

Zion redpills are bored, hovercrafts ascend to broadcast range only to extract and train recruits.

Merv is depserate for a dispute to exploit. His redpills jack in only to get their cranial jacks sore from all the EJPing around Mara hardlines.

Dull times indeed.

Would like to write a much more comprehensive response to this, but i am dead tired atm.

I don't know how it is at Recursion, but at Syntax it's simple - do something to make everyone who currently hangs at Mara C move over to Uriah SW. Most new people end up at SW since its the closest hardline, and is pointed to by the introductory Idustrial quest. Problem is, even in a game, most people are too lazy, or not arsed to do things like that.

This sounds like a great idea, wich for some weird reason reminds me of that upcoming Park East collector Rare's been talking about. Pure speculation here:

He sports an Agent suit, wich has pretty much nothing to do with white Area Ks and black headgears, so there must be something else, likely agent-related about him.. Perhaps this could finally be the agent tie clip collector, and the soon removal of lvl 100 agents is, among else, simple means to limit the ammount of tieclip reward items in existance?

Pure speculation here.

So there is no actual base value for CT in CR2.? Is it 0 or irrelevant as a base value (as Bayamos said) all the time, except when the booster gives "bonus CT", which means adding bonuses to all the Melee,Ballistic,Viral and Thrown Accuracy modifiers?

But the Accuracy of each of the Melee,Ballistic,Viral and Thrown bonuses are not bonuses themselves? They should be added to some base Accuracy value(s)? What are these base Accuracy(and what are also the base Damage,Defence,Resistance)  values then, and what are themselves based on? Probably on character level, and character stats, like focus and perception?

Yes and yes.

One way to get as close to base values as possible would be to undress, run a stat hack, and unload the Awakened ability from your RSI. That way, all you will be left with will be the bonuses granted by the character archetype starter attributes at the very beginning of character creation: Suspicious Cynic, True Believer and so on.

Either that, or simply create a new character, suicide in the tutorial, and unload Awakened to avoid all the hassle with a leveled character. <_<

Don't bother looking at that status/bonuses window for now. It will bring you nothing but confusion for now, really.

What you need to know about those numbers is basicly this:

Clothes/buffs/items/pills/weapons, etc.. that give you, for example, Ballistic Accuracy/Ballistic Accuracy Bonus %, enhance your chances to hit your target with offensive gun abilities/fire.

Clothes/buffs/items/pills/weapons, etc.. that give you, for example, Ballistic Damage/Ballistic Damage Bonus %, increase the ammount of damage that you deal to your target upon hitting it with offensive gun abilities/fire.

Clothes/buffs/items/pills/weapons, etc..that give you, for example, Ballistic Defense/Ballistic Defense Bonus %, enhance your chances to evade your opponen'ts offensive gun abilities/fire.

Clothes/buffs/items/pills/weapons, etc.. that give you, for example, Ballistic Resistance/Ballistic Resitance Bonus %, effectively lower the ammount of damage you will recieve upon being hit by offensive gun abilities/fire.

Same goes for Melee Acc/Def/Res, Viral Acc/Def/Res, and Thrown Acc/Def/Res.

Combat Tactics is an attribute awareded by only the Tactic Booster shots. It provides a boost to ALL 4 of your Accuracies.

Then there is Toughness, wich is an figure that affects ALL 4 of your Resistances.

As you've guessed, this is not the end of it, there are alot more other attributes out there. This however, is the core stuff.

To sum it up:

If you want to be a kung foo lad, gather up on clothes that give you melee acc/damage, and ballistic resistance/defense, partly because melee has a weakness to guns, and because while you level, the majority of the NPCs you will meet will be using guns.

5. is there any way to attach 12 items to an email in the loading area? as the mail window covers the inventory, and if i click cancel 1 time I can attach 1 more item, but after hat, any further cancelling will detach everything.

Loading Area mails are borked, but you can easily send 12 items by mail from a hardline.

The comments are priceless, as always.

While i also agree with having a hostile server and just a few more pacification zones, this kind of change will do too much damage to the community altogether. As i see it, there is an other solution: wipe all 3 servers, and give all existing characters a choice between a hostile and non-hostile server upon the first login after the wipe.

But that would require even more effort from the tech people in charge of merge stuff. Hence - irrational and unrealistic.

We currently have no plans for any server merges at this time.

V, Rarebit's parting posts have created this feeling that his sudden departure was unplanned and perhabs even a tad unexpected for you folks at the office. This could well be a false feeling, but even with that, i think the community's earned another official response on whether your plans on a server merge have been updated.
