To me, this ability should be buffed up, or made levelable. Although the level requirement for it is low, it's a core ability, so we HAVE to use it, but as of right now, it's completely useless. Even as a noob it does nothing but take up memory space that could be used to load something more helpful. Hindering Shot is useable as a high level to keep people from running. but, Intensify Damage is totally useless, and it takes up 2 memory space! I don't really have any other suggestions other than buffing it up, or making it levelable [prefferably buffing it up], but something should be done about this ability later down the road!

ZOMG. I GOT 7UCK1NG BANNED. SMILEY

I just want to let everyone know, disch0rd will return...

FOR NEO!

lemme know how much or talk to me in game

AlCapwnt

I was a merv back in the day, and recieved the mervs boon...

I recently joined a mech faction and since then, my mervs boon has been disabled. Now I had heard of this a long, long time ago. but I thought they fixed this in a previous patch. It could just be bad memory on my part, or perhaps this isn't a bug at all. but I don't know.

Anyone know anything of it? Is it supposed to work and it's just a bug? or is it not supposed to work if you join another org?

I've noticed that occasionally in duels, as well as pvp, that the MKT DOT attacks will occassionally cause states such as staggered, Dazed, and Off-Balance. This could just be me, but has anyone else noticed this?

Is it a bug, or is this the way it's supposed to be? It seems to me that this could be a bug, because the DOT attacks in the hacker trees don't do this. So it could be either the hacker DOT attacks are bugged because they don't cause states, or the MKT DOT attacks are bugged because they do cause states. Who knows, though. :/

Has anyone else seen this? Is it just me or what?

2 dot purity, one big green, one small. I didn't get one with 3 dots. *cries*

just send me a tell in game at disch0rd if you're interested.

In response to the two massive pvp wars we had this previous week, I'd like to keep the good pvp going. It gives people a reason to come online, and perhaps a will to start fighting more on Syntax.

So, with that being said,

Anyone got any suggestions for the next massive pvp battle? SMILEY

Selling Female Sakura Mask.

15 mill, willing to bargain, however.

Send me a tell in game on vector at AlCapwnt, or on Syntax at disch0rd.

I was dueling some peeps the other day, and my Sakura bandana, broke. SMILEY

I've had that thing for over a year, and it's lasted through a lot. May my Sakura Bandana forever Rest In Peace.

But this also means that I'm in dire need of another.

So if anyone wants to sell me one, or trade me something for 'em, I'd be glad to do so.

I have some items I'm willing to get rid of, and just about every tree in game. If you're willing to attempt to work out a deal, hit me up in game at disch0rd.

Thanks! SMILEY

As always, we have to make a post when we are out in [almost] full force

So, here we are. There wasn't a whole lot of opposition, though. SMILEY

SEE YOU ALL AT THE ZERO ONE WAR ON TOMORROW! MUAHAHAHAHAAH.

There's been a million of these, but who doesn't like reading peoples realization of obsession?

You might be addicted to MxO, if you wake up in the morning wondering if you have the right bits to code certain articles of clothing, or abilities.

You might be addicted to MxO, if you fall asleep during class, and wake up screaming, "LOGIC BARRAGE!"

You might be addicted to MxO, if you've seen about 6 of these posts, and made a reply in each one.

You guys get the idea!

I always try to make my own sigs, but what I do is nothing close to the work you guys are capable of, so yet again, I come to you guys to ask politely to make me a sig. SMILEY

I really don't care what it looks like, you guys make everything look spectacular. As long as it has "AlCapwnt" in the bottom left or right corner, I'm happy. SMILEY

I was just taking a look at the forums, and I saw Espi as one of the users online.

Espi, we know you're watching us!

COME BACK TO VECTOR!

Alright, so I don't know if this applies to many of you, but my account was active during the assassin's event, and I helped take him down and yadayadayada. So I recieved Mobius Code on my Syntax character, disch0rd.

If any of you guys know anything about me, you'd know that I now have a 50 char on vector as well. and although using Mobius Code can't make or break a fight, it's really not that big of a deal, but I think that your Mobius Code ability should be transferable through characters, meaning that it would act like HJ Beta. If you had your account in beta, then you get HJ Beta on every character you ever make on your account. Even for the low levels, Mobius Code would be nice to have. It's just a small change I think that should be made.

What do you guys think?

You must realize the truth: There is no post. Then you will see it is not the post that has moved, only yourself.

Alright, It took me about an hour to figure all this out and sketch it all down, I'm sure I'll be updating it more as I learn more, and figure out more about how it works. Here's what I've got so far, if anyone is lost with starting their archival missions, I sure hope this helps!

Midian Park East - Machine Archivist

Moriah Projects East - Zion Archivist

Appolyon Northwest - Merovingian Archivist

You can start off by picking up each piece (mission) of the chapter you'd like at your organizations archivist, I'll explain it by using the first chapter.

Then go to a district of your choice, and start up the first mission in the chapter(1.1.1). Do this mission 3 times, and you will recieve the Completion Token 1.1. Once you have completed the first missions, and recieved the completion token, move on to the next mission in the chapter(1.2.1). Do this mission until you get your completion token, and then do the next and final mission in the chapter(1.3.1). Until you recieve the completion token for this mission as well. Once you've completed all the missions for each chapter, head back to your archivist to pick up the next chapter. Fire up the mission until you get the token, and so on, and so forth.

Once you've completed all 4 chapters for your organization, head to one of the locations below:

You will need the following completion tokens to recieve your organizations article of clothing:

Completion tokens 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4

Ikebukuro Northest - Machine Trader

Kaede Central - Zion Trader

Sai Kung Southwest - Merovingian Trader

(There's also a trader for each organization in Richland, Westview, and Downtown, I believe)

The items you will recieve are as follows:

Machine - 10% IS Regen Shades. (look alot like the glasses agents wear, they differ from void shades but they ALSO have the 'earpiece' on them.)

Zion - 10% IS Regen Barret

Merovingian - Melee, Thrown, Viral, and Ballistic damage resistance (11points to each) coat

After you've traded your completion tokens for your items, you can move on to the next organization if you chose, but keep in mind that you also have to run the missions again for your org. (so if you're machine and you got your shades, you're gonna have to run all of the missions from all of the chapters again to get another one of the orgs items)

There's also 4 other items you can get, I'm not sure exactly what they do, yet, I hope to get at least the first one tonight. But here's what you're gonna need to recieve these items:

Completion Tokens for Chapter 1 for all three organizations

(Zion, Merv, and Mach Completion Tokens 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3)

-Noninfectious Flame Virus-

Completion Tokens for Chapter 2 for all three organizations

(Zion, Merv, and Mach Completion Tokens 2.1. 2.2, and 2.3)

-Noninfections Fly Virus-

Completion Tokens for Chapter 3 for all three organizations

(Zion, Merv, and Mach Completion Tokens 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3)

-Fly Storm-

Completion Tokens for Chapter 4 for all three organizations

(Zion, Merv, and Mach Completion Tokens 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3)

-Blue Headlamp-

I think that's just about it, if I left anything out, feel free to let me know. I sure hope this helps you guys!

You can't activate your Master/Grandmaster buffs during the combat stance, so I think that Hyperjump and Hardlines should be disabled in the combat stance, as well. When you roll out, you can't be reinterlocked for 5 seconds, I believe. That's enough time to put your shield up, and run away. So why should you be able to hyperjump to get away from fighting? Yes, I know this would mean death for noobs on vector, or any server in which a low level flags and gets interlocked. but it'd stop even the high levels from interlocking, killing, and hyperjumping away, whether the opponent be the same, higher, or lesser level of you, it'd stop the 'ninja cq and run' method. I think that this could totally change pvp for the better. for 5 seconds after getting hit by any sort of attack [that's how long combat stance lasts, if I'm not mistaken] you can't hyperjump, or hardline away.

This is just my opinion, though....

For some of you, this may be too far back to remember, or maybe you're all like me, but I'll never forget all the times I was zerged as I was leveling..

Who do you guys remember zerging you the most? and when you got 50, did you get revenge?

I'd have to say ultimatewraith, Bossnake, and ILLFACE. SMILEY

I've discussed this before, but I'm an MA on Vector. I love MA. I always have since CR1. I think it's one of the coolest trees in the game, and definitely one of the most fun to use. However, when held next to the gunman trees(in my opinion), gunman is much more powerful than MA. Granted the IS rate for Gunman isn't really equal to the damage output compared to MA, but as far as debuffs go, it's definitely a bit more powerful.

In the MA tree, there's 1 ability (punch reversal catch slam) that causes powerless that doesn't require a state, and It only lasts for 4 seconds. Where as in the gunman tree, there's an ability (pistol barrage) that causes powerless for 8 seconds, but can be used in, or out of interlock. Regardless of the fact that Pistol Barrage has a 40% chance of causing it, that's a lot more effective than having to level, and load up to the aikido ability.

Another comparison that I've made is Swirling Ki Summon, this ability has a DPS of 2, and an IS cost of 70, rarely hits (in my experience) and is an all around good move, if you want to waste that much IS. In the gunman tree, Dual Pistol Execution decreases accuracy and has a DPS of 45. Granted again, there's a 40% chance of causing this state. I think that the IS cost for Swirling Ki Summon should be decreased to match the other abilities in the MA trees, or instead increase the damage output. Or hell, even out the both of them. I think that both Gunman and MA should be about equal, and in my eyes, gunman is just a slightly bit overpowered than MA. There's nothing wrong with that, because it's still possible to take down gunmen as an MA. I just believe that the MA tree should be buffed up slightly.

What do you guys think?

HAHAHAHAHA.

I just realized I already made a post on this.

Anyone want a bit of what I'm smoking? :smileyvery-happy:

Devs, please take care of this! My apologies!

I'm looking for someone who's willing to do an info trade from Syntax to Vector. I know of the whole economy difference but I can go up to 100mill on syntax, and will go as low as 60-75 mill on Vector. I also have a male Yuki Bandana on Syntax that I'm willing to trade as well. If you or anyone you know is interested, post here or /t Vector-Hostile.AlCapwnt

Make an offer.

Melee and Ballistic Damage Restance 20pts

Viral Defense Bonus 3%

Ballistic Damage Bonus 3%

Nice gunners item, also pretty rare. Nice collectors item too. Make an offer here or send me a tell in game.

((if I'm not on Syntax, try Vector-Hostile.AlCapwnt ))

In my opinion, Guns are an MA's main weakness. Pistol Aerial has a chance to cause stun, and DPE almost always lowers your CT, or decreases your accuracy. Also, if they're using Clamors or Bedlams, they've got a chance to stun in freefire. They can attack from distance using their guns in freefire, while MA has to be within 5 meters just to hit them in freefire. and an MA's freefire re-use timer is 2 and in some cases 3 seconds longer than a gunmans. Also, MA only has like 1 move that doesn't require a state that downgrades the opponents accuracy. This move costs 70 IS, and has a DPS of 2.

I believe that if some of the MA moves had a greater chance to cause a state like stun or confused(such as Suicidal Butterfly or Extreme Falling Kick) or if more attacks decreased the opponents accuracy, then MA vs Gunmen would be really nice fights. Or even if more of the higher level attacks upgrade yourself, that'd be nice. Throw in some Ballistic/Melee Defense on some moves, that'd be really sweet. What do you guys think? I hope I'm not the only person who feels this way. :/

Lookin' for some clothing with Initiative bonus. If you've got anything with 2% or 3%, give me a shout at AlCapwnt

Now I've read on The Other Side Of The Looking Glass that if you are using an exploit, unless recieved 1 or more warnings, a first time offense would not result in Banning. However, there have been several cases in the recent past, and even farther back past, in which this hasn't been followed. Revealing names will result in this thread being locked, and this is not what I want, so please, when discussing, don't use names. I would like to know why friends of mine, or friends of friends have been permanently banned from this game for being caught using an exploit and on poof. They're gone on a one time happening, Directly from The Other Side Of The Looking Glass:

"If You Think You’ve Found an Exploit

If you do something in game that results in an unexpected behavior, especially one that gives a combat advantage, you should report it using the /bug command. You can even repeat the actions a few times if you want to get repro steps you can report it. Just don’t continue using it after you’ve figured out it works.

In fact, even if someone is found using an exploit, a single use isn’t enough for more than a warning from a CSR. Even if it’s a widely known abuse, a player will only be suspended for exploiting. Only if someone repeatedly abuses an exploit after being warned, or is abusive to a CSR warning them, can the road lead to longer suspensions or an account ban."

-The Other Side Of The Looking Glass http://thematrixonline.station.sony.com/players/news_archive.vm?id=138&month=current

There's the link, if you'd like to read more about actions that may be taken on your account as a result of exploiting.

If we're being told that AT MOST we're going to be suspended for a one time use, why are these players getting banned? Think back a couple months, when 2 players got banned for using an exploit that wasn't even labeled an exploit yet. Eventually, their accounts were unlocked, yes. But should they have been banned in the first place? I don't believe that these players were ever told that what they were doing was considered and exploit, or that they were even warned for 'exploiting'.

I guess the main question I have is why are we getting banned for exploiting on a one time instance, where we're clearly being told that we can not, and will not be banned for explointing on a one time deal.

Any ideas?

I'm in dire need of cash on Vector, and not so much on Syntax. So if anyone is willing to do a info exchange, send me a tell in game on Syntax at disch0rd, or on Vector(which is where I'm more likely to be on at) at AlCapwnt. Or just reply to this message. Thanks!

I was talking to a friend the other night, and we were discussing small counters they could add to the game as slash-commands to make things a bit interesting.

One of them was a killing spree count. A counter that tells you how many people you've killed, or the most people that you've killed (highest killing spree) before you die. It's nothing too fancy, but I just think it'd be something neat.

Another idea was, we all know that coding is a long and time consuming task. So what if we had a slash-command that told us how much time we've spent coding. Again, something else that would just be interesting to have, but not really good for anything.

What do you guys think of these ideas? Any counters you guys would like to see in game?

Alright, so at first I thought of starting this just to have everyone laugh at endo, but then, I changed my mind and decided to make this a good thing, I suppose. As you can see, Endo likes to flame me, and that's cool. I'm not going to stop him, and there's not much that I can do. but if he's gonna start flame threads about me, and it gets dealt with by devs or whoever, don't cry and say I ccr'd you. Basically all I want to say is, Let's stop with this drama. It really has to end. When people MAKE UP TELLS to start drama between me and someone I consider a friend, that's where I draw the line. Everyone just needs to drop the beef and kick back and smoke a j! It's really just become one big drama pool, and it's startin' to go too far. So everyone, calm down, and take a deep breath. Remember, it's just a video game! Cheer up kids! You're starting to look a little bit more emo than me. SMILEY

Check out this link, something I think should be sorted out soon.

Stolen from ILLFaced on the Vector Forums. Couldn't help it. HILARIOUS.

http://mxoboards.station.sony.com/matrix/board/message?board.id=vectorgeneral&message.id=70087

I don't know how much these are worth on Vector, but I know they go for pretty high over on Syntax. So just make me an offer here or in game and the highest offer I get will get it.

I'm looking for male pants, shoes, or gloves that give 2% melee accuracy bonus, I'm only lvl 32(almost 33) at the moment, so if you've got anything at or around those levels, send me a tell in game at AlCapwnt.

Thanks!

I'd like to get a new sig for the character I've been playing the most lately, on Vector, AlCapwnt. So if some of you could please try and make me one, that'd be awesome. SMILEY

Here's some screenies I'll give you guys to work with. Whatever you guys want to do, that's fine. All I ask is that it has "AlCapwnt | The Complex" in the bottom left or right corner. Thanks!

Got this early yesterday morning, was kinda proud so I thought I'd let everyone know! AlCapwnt is OFFICIALLY a target! Let the ganks begin! Woo!

A good friend of mine made my sig, because I was too lazy to do it myself. I've seen alot of Advent Children sigs on Vector, and I wanted to know how many others has/had an AC sig, if you do, post it! I'd like to see 'em! SMILEY

To all of Vector, I'd like you to welcome The Complex, and I'd like to give you a little bit of an explanation as to why this faction was made.

When I first heard of the Syntax movement to Vector, I thought that it was a pretty cool idea. After all, it's just a merv zerg on Syntax, and being a part of that isn't fun for more than a few minutes. So I thought "hey, why not join?" The System was being head by a faction thats...let's just say, "not well liked" on Syntax, so what a suprise when I get to vector and find out that The System isn't too well liked on Vector, either! Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not hear to flame anyone. I get along with some of the players, and I'd like to keep it that way. So before I made the official move to Vector, I took one last look at the post that was made on the Syntax forums.The more I read, the more it seemed to me that the leaders of this factions ego's were getting involved. The System was advertised to be "open to all syntax players," but later in the forums we were told that it was not this way. After being told that I would not be allowed to join the System because of the troubles I've given the leaders of The System on Syntax, and seeing that players were being booted for no reason at all, some friends and I made the decision to make our own Vector movement. This is where The Complex comes into play. We started the Complex to fight along-side the players that we fight AGAINST on syntax. We're here merely to have fun, and we're not trying to 'take over.' We're here to make friends that we otherwise would not have, and we're just spending some spare time leveling an alt. So, with that being said, We'd like to say "Hello Vector!" and we look forward to fighting with you, against you, and just spending time with you guys.

eSk0 and I were talking the other day, and we started talking about the amount of people who possibly bought their RSI. It seems like every day I see a 50 I've ever never seen or heard of before. So maybe I'm just not that social, or maybe they're missioning in unpopular places. Who knows.

I was just curious as to who would admit to buying their character on eBay or perhaps another source.

:/
