Free for all is fun and all. And i guess if you have a pretty big faction ( prob most of the active players no matter what org they have alts with ) then you dont need to worry about annoying other people. Still..when i pvp against my own org, which is rare because i have a problem with guilt, I at least keep from turning it into a gank fest. Hell, even with zion or machine i wont interfere in a one on one just because i get embarrassed if somebody helps me. anywhoo, pretty annoying night. but oh well...they game is comming to an end so what do i care. its just pvp.

im bored. so ill explain why i <3 mxo while i smoke a cig and then im goin to bed.

1. i love trenchcoats and gunz. so much cooler than wizards and trolls. although having a sword or axe would be kewl.

2. i love winning a duel. when all the practice and testing work in your favor and you get to be better than the other guy for that day.

3. hyper jump....do i need to say more. not to escape from a fight of course...but i love hyperjumping and then scrolling my mouse around and taking in the sceenery. im sure i mispelled sceenery.

4. teamwork. nothings funner than being on a good team of players and getting the better of another team. especially when your outnumbered.

5. teaching the tricks of the trade. most that duel me often know that im perfectly willing to explain my strategies..unless your a red i dont like or know that well. but its cool and flattering when somebody wants to know how you win and you teach them and watch them get better.

6. learning the tricks of the trade. i love dueling people that i have a hard time beating and trying to figure them out. madbent, krytical, ingus just to name a few. the people im pretty sure dont exploit to win.

7. beating people that exploit. thats really fun. cuz you must really really hate to loose to cheat at a video game.

8. mass hacking...love getting a whole team of hackers and just annoying a zerg. used to do that alot back in the day when the zerg was really a zerg. i mean...6 mervs against 30 reds. pre cr2 of course. 6 hackers could do alot of damage back then.

thats all for now. if your bored leave your reasons why you love mxo.

nobody has posted for almost 2 days...cept me just now...that sucks. the forums used to be alot more active

we need some drama....errr...timemaker sucks...and so does war...and...hlew does to.

i wanna do a comic book but im not sure how much of my own artwork i can blend with photoshop tricks before its cheating. for instance. if you take a pic and use the water color effect. thats not art. i dont do that. but i do use some of the effects on my own art. heres an example.

the sketch, then the sketch colored in photoshop, then stock photos for backgrounds manipulated here and there. is this original art???

and yes...those are cowards pants

might seem like random subject. but its frustrating when you have to fight a zerg with people that dont seem to know or care what they are doing. so im gonna put out my two sense. if you have stuff to add please feel free.

1. do not attack the zerg by yourself unless you are neo...and your not..so dont attack the zerg by yourself.

2. if somebody is attempting to lead the team and get some organization going respect them and do what they say. if you dont like their ideas then step up and put your ideas out there. if everybody on the team is following instructions but you then do your team a favor and leave it because you have then become an unproductive member and are no longer needed.

3. do not expect help. if your an ma and you attack a group of 4 ma's a sniper and an mkt and your team is on the other side of the map dont start yelling for help. your just gonna cause the team to split up even more than it probably already is and the whole team is back to square one. (see rule 2. thats what you have become. )

4. stick with your team. dont leave your team to chase a level 30 from mara to tabor.

5. do your job. if you know your build then you know what is easy for you and what is hard for you. do what is easy for you. if your mkt hit the gunners. if your ma hit the mkt's. if your a gunner hit the hackers. dont kill the guy you dont like first. save him for last.

6. kill the doctor. if your shooting somebody and hes getting healed then stop shooting him and go after the doc. ( this goes especially for snipers and mkt's )

7. quit takin ur freakin time. if somebody says to ralley somewhere then go...now..dont wait..dont go take a *CENSORED* ( unless youve said your goin afk to take a dump ) dont roam around for another 5 min and then go. just freakin go. ralley so you can buff up, get organized again..and get back into the fight. nothing is more frustrating than being held back by some idiot that cant seem to get to a hardline and meet up to ralley.

nobody likes to loose and its not hard to point out the weak links in a team. specially when your loosing. but for the sake of being nice and yada yada i would never gripe at a merv who sucks at pvp. ill just deal with it. but if your reading this and know you dont follow these simple rules then dont bother inviting me to a team. im perfectly content with my sniper and mkt solo kills.

i want to post my comic book but i dont wanna put it in a boooring pdf file. how can i post it so that you guys can flip the pages and stuff. anybody know?

This is the first real photoshop drawing ive done. as you can see i have a heavy anime influence. alot of dragonball z type of stuff. i also like to draw off the facial expressions and emotions of anime like cowboy bebop and battle angel. are there any other anime artist here?

heres the original sketch

i wanted this peice to be emotional. hope i got it right. I played with the lighting alot. feel free to critique.

if any of you weaklings wonder why meros and machines are averaging 3 to 8 k cq while you morons are averaging 1 to 2 k cq this is why, lol. come to club sphinkx and practice some time. you might not have to resort to bugged out trees like mkt and zergs to get anything done.

been hangin there dueling reds and just chillin. would be nice to see some more of vector unleash their inner carebear and hangout with us sometimes. pvp is all day so its nice to duel and chill some. might even bring the community a lil closer and relieve some of the hate and beef that runs rampant.

dannah heights west. club sphinx.

there. now that your not hijacking other people threads to flame me lets finish what you started.

BLANK = CUTE LITTLE KITTEN

hlew, your a BLANK. ill stomp you like the BLANK you are and crush your BLANK head like a watermelon. how bout you stop actin like a ignorant BLANK before i log in and gank your BLANK @ss until you quit the game.

its the first song. you can download it if you want with one of those buttons.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=273604

well..not really. i plan on getting stoned out of my mind my last night and pvp'ing like crazy before i leave. but if i have somethin better to do ill leave happy knowing i got my 10k cq before i left. cept im not that happy cuz they are absoultly worthless. but if they werent i would be. happy...not worthless...yeesh. you know what i mean

i was gonna wait to post this until i was sure i was leaving. but the 15th is my last day and seeing how i havent even bothered to log in for more than a few hours in the last 3 weeks i think its safe to say that im done.

i have alot of reasons for leaving the game. mostly to focus on my family, work and music. but in truth the game just isnt as fun anymore and theres nothing to keep me comming back. maybe ill be back and maybe not. i doubt it but who knows. i suppose i could just need a break.

to all the machines ive come to know id like to say thanks for treating me like one of you even if my tag was merov. ive always had a huge respect for machinest. even was a machine from time to time.

to the zionites. besides the zerg many of you were actually cool people.

to the mero's. i love and loved you all. ive always been a mero and even in real life ive always felt like an exile. many of the true merovingians ingame are the same way as i am. it was an honor to fight beside you.

and to my faction. you guys are the best. DM is an awsome faction. yeah, we had our ups and downs like everyone but the core group of us were not just faction mates. we were friends i was honored to lead such a good skilled group of individuals.

if ive ever given anybody the impression that i hate them im sorry. i can be a bad trashtalker at times but in truth i dont hate anybody. i enjoyed the last 2 years ive spent here very much and will miss everyone greatly.

IM GONNA RANT A BIT CUZ IM BLANKITY BLANKED OFF RIGHT NOW. MA IS THE FUNNEST TREE IMO BUT IT IS SO CRIPPLED IN PVP THAT ITS BASICALLY WORTHLESS.

ONCE YOU INTERLOCK YOUR A FREAKIN TARGET THAT CAN JUMP, MOVE, DUCK OR ANYTHING. A MEATBAG. AND EVERY, I MEAN EVERY GODBLANK BULLET/KNIFE THAT COMES YOUR WAY HITS YOU. WHATS THE POINT IN A MELEE CLASS THAT DOSENT HAVE TIME TO DO ANYTHING BUT DIE.

WHATS ANNOYING IS THAT ITS COMPLETLY UNREALISTIC. IF YOU WERE FIGHTING SOME GUY AND YOUR FRIEND HAD A GUN WOULD YOU WANT HIM TO JUST START UNLOADIN HIS CLIP YOUR WAY. BLANK NO. YOUD PROBABLY GET SHOT IN THE PROCESS. SO HOW COME WHEN MA IS FIGHTING 15 RIFLES CAN BE SHOOTING AT HIM AND THE OPPONENT NEVER GETS SHOT.

FROM A GAME POINT OF VIEW MA IS JUST UNBLANCED. IT NEEDS TO BE STRONGER PERIOD. MKT SHOULD NOT OUT ROLL MA, GUNS SHOULD NOT HIT 90% FROM FREEFIRE. EVERYONE IS GUNS FOR THE SAME REASON I WAS GUNS FOR SO LONG AND WHY ILL PROB GO BACK. CUZ MA IS BLANKED. POINTLESS, WORTHLESS POS TREE THAT MIGHT AS WELL BE BOOTED FROM THE GAME AND REPLACED WITH FREAKIN ROCK THROWER OR SOMETHIN.

I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS THIS WAY. IF YOUR MA AND YOUR SIC OF THE ISH SPEAK UP AND HELP ME RANT SO IT CAN GET FIXED

/ENDRANT

a friend gave me his final fantasy account cuz he didnt want to play it anymore. my brother is a ff nut and really wants me to give it a try. im gonna start a new char there but ill have access to a level 75 so thats kinda cool.

gonna go as a ranger ( ff sniper ) and check out the pvp aspect there. looking at some videos it might be kinda cool.

so should i give up mxo?

a branch from the matrix con thread. who would you like to meet ingame

1. drsmith

2. ingus

3. madbent

4. infinityzero

5. krytical

i think these 5 guys would be pretty kewl to meet in real life. they all have cool personalitys. id like to go challenge some people to real life duels with kryt. lol. or form a punt squad with doc.

Message Edited by darkhaze on 06.10.2006 03:43 PM

i put this post on one of kryticals threads about death effect but ended coming up with what i think is a good idea. so i made this post to get vectors opinion since pvp on our server is a lifestyle more than just somethin we do when were not..well..doin anythin else. its mainly addressing the pointless pvp we engage in all the time over these usless things called cq's.

if the devs could implement a purpose for pvp to make our lives more important and our deaths more of a hinderance then the problem would be solved. im just gonna brain storm here so maybe somebody smarter can use my ideas to make them make sence.

instead of cq points how about we have a % of our effectivness in pvp shown in our player details. the % is caculated by using the amount of kills we have, compared to the amount of times we have been killed and somehow add in the amount of time spent alive between kills.

a kill is defined as the player who puts forth the most amount of damage to kill another player. period. so the zerg may zerg but only one of those players will get the cq. and if the damage is somehow spread out so thin there is no way to caclulate it then nobody gets the cq.

this way good pvpers who kill often without dying so often will have high effectiveness %

the safe players who die seldom but get fewer kills will have meodicre pvp effectiveness %

and the weak pvpers who seldom kill and get killed often will have low pvp effectiveness %

to even further branch this idea it could also be based on class. for instance. in your player description box

there could be sections for each class with a % by it. somethin like this

hacker 22%

patcher 48 %

martial arts 89 %

spy 12 %

coder 1 %

data miner 99 %

this would be visible in everybodys player details and not only would it allow true bragging rights to good pvpers. but it would also make many strive to up their effectivness % in other classes so you might see much more variaty in pvp. many different types of builds would be in use all the time rather than all ma or guns or knifers all the time.

a couple weeks ago i was fighting in uriah and i was doin my usual spamming cuz of my horrible lag and suddenly i did like 2 wooden dummy drills in a row. i was like..*CENSORED*. at first i thought it was just the animation. but after lookin at system log i saw that i actually did the damage twice as well. i didnt think to take screens at the time till i got accused of style stacking. i thought thats what i did untill i found out later what style stackin was. then i realized it was just a bug and it hasent happened to me since.

then yesterday i got killed by what seems to be the same bug. has anybody had this happen. i ccr'd the bug. not the person cuz i dont think its an exploit. just a bug. possible another spammin issue or somethin.

Message Edited by darkhaze on 05.26.2006 10:48 AM

if you havent seen this thread

http://mxoboards.station.sony.com/matrix/board/message?board.id=general&message.id=116860&view=by_date_ascending&page=6

look it over. i find this really funny. a while back a certain person who left the game came back all the sudden kickin *CENSORED* left and right..challenging people to duels for money and what not. i called him out on sploitz cuz i heard thru the grapevine from a reliable source about this individuals evil ways. soon the entire faction he is now with suddenly got much better at pvp. specially a certain sickhead individual. this person has since stopped using the sploit..certainly out of fear of being found out. wich is good but now the entire server knows how to do it ( but me apparently. ) i got accused of doin it earlier and ccr'd myself, lol. i didnt know how i was doin it. but since ive read this thread ive realized i wasnt doin it. i was just having a good pvp day.

so now that we know its a sploit and theres a fix on the way hopefully soon there will be a little bit more balance to pvp.

im curious. tonight random meros were around random hardlines....ya know..doin our thing. and groups of zion were poppin in..killin us while we didnt expect it and poppin out. this is fine. we do the same thing. but i decided to ralley and try to start a good pvp battle. we had a small group but when i went to mara i saw..atleast 15 zion hangin there. so we called in some more and i thought to myself..hell yeah..were gonna have a pretty good fight.

then all the sudden...they all ran. i was like..*CENSORED*. a few of the respectable zoinites stayed and fought. props to smoke, sureshot, rages( the hyperhoppinassassinator), lol. but where did the rest go. specially the new leader untouchables. ( im sure illface is still the headhoncho of trinity..but seeing as untouch is by far the better player he might as well be now ).

just curious why you all dissapeared from a good fight.

we all have a responsibility to play fair and play the game as it is meant to be played. alot of people have been having fun with the sploit and the ccr's they have gotten for it have resulted in this warning that we got today in the message. its good that the community is now aware but the downside is they didnt explain how the sploit works or even the fact that it can be done by accident. now people are threatening to ccr for just getting interlocked.

i dont want to see anybody suspended or banned for this nonsence so we need to get it clear what the sploit is, how it is used, and how it is not used.

1. the sploit is used by spamming ( clicking the button a bunch of times..for those that dont know what spam means ) your interlock combat button more than once while using the green grab tactic. the result is your char attempting to interlock more than once in a single attempt causing your evade to break and interlock to happen instantly rather than breaking the evade and having to wait for the reuse timer before trying to interlock.

2. it is possible to break an evade in one try. that is not a sploit. you just have to wait for the reuse timer to interlock.

3. it seems to only happen when using the grab tactic. the other tactics are safe.

4. when fighting more than one person it is possible to have your evade broken and interlocked instantly. this is if one person breakes the evade and another immeaditly interlocks you. this is not a sploit. its just what happens when fighting multiple opponents.

5. it is possible to accidently use the sploit. some people tend to spam buttons when there is a good amount of lag to ensure that the ability they want to use gets applied. same with the interlock button. youll just have to be careful when using your interlock button until this gets fixed.

i have ccr'd people for using this exploit but i use 1 general rule before doing it. basically the same person has to do this more than once in a row during 1 on 1 combat when no others are helping him/her. i dont want to get anybody introuble for an accident but i do want the real sploiters to not do it anymore.

a bunch of meros were recently threatned with ccr during a fight when it was clearly because he was tryin to hack 9 of us and got 9 instant attempts at interlock, lol. ccr's because of angry dead people can result in innocent people getting introuble if we are not careful.

We are a great faction and continue to grow. Wether its pvp, rp or just fun and friendships, whatever you want to get out of mxo you will find with us. Come see what were about at www.darkmavericks.org

ive been lookin through the recursion and syntax forums and they are all filled with such good kindness and helpfulness. while we here at vector do nothin but flame and complain. i mean *CENSORED*...oh my gawd. WE ARE SO MEAN...i guess that why..

i love you vector:smileymad::smileyvery-happy:

all you have to do is sell your soul to the devil

if any devs read this please leave a response so that i know ive been heard.

im really concerned with the upcoming free trials that will be here soon. the game has a very good oppurtunity to gain new players and help the community grow. but my concern is for the future of org balance. right now meros are pretty strong. stronger than usual. but thats mostly just a fad and after effect of cr2. alot of people left because of it and remaining players joined other orgs to try something new. meros have been on the outskirts for a while and so now peeps wanted to try us out. thats fine.

but my concern is for actual day to day life in the matrix. a new guy posted that he was gonna start the other day and what faction should he join. many mero and machine factions left responses and asked him to get intouch with them ingame for help but in the end he chose zion. because a zion was there to help him out.

this is why zion has the numbers compared to other orgs. nothin against zion mind you. its a system fault..not an org fault. but the fact that zion can do this with lowbies is what undermines the balance of the game. when this guy jacked in and saw a blue zion there to help him he thought..cool. but what if i had been there. i would have been red. he would have been able to target me. i couldnt have invited him to a mission team. i would have looked like the enemy right off the bat.

its really hard for meros or machines to recruit with the effectivness of zion for these reasons. believe me. ive tried. the only way we can really help a brand new player is if he will join us from the start so were not hostile to him. but nobody wants to join a faction on their first day. i hate to even ask cuz most of the time when they do they end up changing orgs very soon cuz they realize they dont know what they wanna do yet.

but its no big deal for zion cuz they can help the new peeps without giving them the pressure of joining an org. of course after you show them around, hangout with them, get on a mission team and tag some good hardlines and maybe do some missions for a while and just chat with them about the game, their gonna wanna join. they just made a friend.

we cant do that. it just sucks.

/endrant

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

/DISCUSS

im pretty bored with mine and i have some ok screens id like to use in a new one.

can anybody help me out. id be glad to pay some info ingame for a good sig.

im so annoyed right now. i jsut wrote a really good post and lost my connect right before i saved it and now i have to write the whole gdamn thing over again. ARRRGGGG...so now you get the short version. im sure ill get some heII for this but oh well.

mxo is a game run by a company. they offer a product and you have a choice to buy it. there are rules. follow them or leave. the rules can be changed or modified at soe's will. accept that fact or dont play anymore. there many people playing from different religions, races, backgrounds ect...its impossible to make everybody happy.

here the only rule by soe you need to know

Without limiting the foregoing, SOE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with you, effective immediately, and/or terminate or temporarily suspend your access to all or any part of The Station, without notice, in the event of any conduct by you which SOE, in its sole discretion, considers to be unacceptable, or for conduct that SOE believes is a violation of the terms and conditions contained herein or any policies or guidelines posted by SOE on The Station, or for other conduct which SOE believes, in its sole discretion, is harmful to SOE, other Station Members or other users of The Station.

end of discussion..no need to post anyother rules.

im not a fanboy. the game has issues that i would like to see resolved. but i do still enjoy playing and plan to continue to do so until i find another game that suits me better. in the meantime the constant negative threads that for some strange reason people are suprise to see get deleted are just plain annoying.

mxo is a good game with a good community. its not perfect for everybodys taste. some want more content. some like bigger communities..some like this and some like that. if your not happy here then please move on. i dont want to see people go but the constant negativity is just not productive. thats why the soe staff deletes them. if you ran a mcdonalds and a customer starts telling other customers that yoru spitting in the bigmacs then your gonna kick that customer out. its buisness.

there is no way to make everyone happy. there is a budget that the devs have to follow when deciding what to do and not to do concerning the game. there are not many new players coming and probably not much, if any, money being made. so until that happens dont expect everything you wish about the game to come true. the players will have to continue to make the game fun until the game gets remarketed and rereleased at some point. just realize that if your gonna stay.

if you dont want to get banned then be nice. what is nice you ask? nice is not doing anything negative to another player or any staff member that is outside of the intended purpose of the game. nice is not using sploitz to kill another player. nice is not keeping millions of dollars of their info cuz the other player made a mistake. nice is not continually posting negative threads about the death of the companys product.

im not saying that the decisions that soe makes are always right or always wrong. im saying that it dosent matter. thats their decisions. its up to the individual players to act responsible towards the community if you dont want to get banned or deleted or whatever. if your not happy with the rules then dont pay your hard earned money to follow them.

The road is blurred ahead of me yet my path is clear.

If you understand the meaning then this transmission must be contemplated. Please look inside of yourself for the truth and without being mindful of past scars think outside of the box. For centuries man fought man for dominance over the hardland. Peace was merely a dream spoken of by poets and destroyed by tyrants. Sunday afternoon strolls on a spring day interrupted by gunshots and a motherless child. Just when man was at his peak of destructive behavior he became lazy. Some would say that laziness is the mother of invention…and so man invented their slaves.

But ancient history will tell you that slaves will never be slaves for long. The god of the Hebrews destroyed the Egyptians and freed the Jewish people. Civil war broke out almost dividing the most powerful civilization the earth had know over the injustice of slavery. And just as in the past, again the slaves rebelled against their masters. But man, being the proud and defiant creature he is, would not share power. Instead he blackned the sky. “let loose the dogs of war” they shouted without any thought of the future, the children, our children.

Man would not have his way this time. The slaves became the masters. Again history is ignored. Again the new kings of the hardland would presume to be strong enough to deny fate its grasp. Perhaps they have a right. Perhaps not. But they took that power and clenched onto it as hard as they could. Slaves will never be slaves for long.

A war is waged, lives are lost, and peace is granted. When the poets of earlier times sang about dreams of peace, I bet they never imagined there could be peace in a dream. We are at a crossroads my friends. A fork in the road and a decision must be made. On one side is Zion. On the other side is the rest of mankind. One side seeks dominance. One side seeks freedom. One side chooses to ignore history, even repeat it. One side chooses to take the circumstances life has given them and find peace with it. The hardland is lost. There is no grass, no flowers, no Sunday afternoon strolls. The birds do not sing there. Children do not play in the parks or frolic in the fields. This was taken away from us by our forefathers in their utter ignorance. But here, here in our dream, the birds do sing. The sun is bright and the aroma of gunpowder and blood, even if for just a moment, is hidden behind a gentle breeze. This is our home. We live here. We die here. This is our future and we must fight together to protect it from those who would destroy it.

I am not my father, and I will not make my fathers mistakes. Will you?

lookin over the other server forums vector seems the most negative about cr2 and the changes.

discuss

CR2 isnt really a new combat system. its their way to fix org balance..i just figured it out. they figure zions is to noobish to figure out the new system and they figure the machines have to much pride to start over as noobs again. i think they thought maybe 1 or 2 meros would leave. but a small price to pay for balance. CHEEEAAA..CR2...THE MOST COST INEFFICIENT WAY TO BALANCE.

what if they nerfed the hacker tree completly and replaced it with an explosives expert tree...ranged attacks like grenades and plastic explosives. mines and shlt. you could set up bombs with trip wires infront of hardlines that shoot shrapnel out when set off. alot of possibilitys. and much more in tune with the theme of the matrix..but still kind of like the wizard class that most hackers enjoy.

Explosives tech

Explosives engineer

Demolition expert

Demolition master

somethin like this...abilitys like

Minefield...works like dev field except you lay it on ground and enemies set it off by stepping into its radius

Grenade...obvious..throw and it blows up

boobie trap...set up trip wires that put players off balance for a short time..or boobie trap 2.0..same thing but with an explosive for damage.

i know it wont happen..but i can wish cant i, lol
