Anyone tried this out? its pritty cool, i've always been deterred from playing FPS's on consoles purely because i detest analog sticks for aim. So with the wii its an interesting addition to my collection.

If anyone does: 498390118749 = friend code (: add me my friends list is lacking since the wii doesn't have any method of communication between players and theres no ingame chat. Its impossible to find friends in-game like you would playing the xbox. >.>

The new crit's are all well and good but sooner or later they're gonna run out of decent clothing/buffs. This got me thinking about how they could introduce more exciting different things instead of those boring monotonous clothing items that eventually take up two much room. This is why i thought of new abilities, the difference being they're not actually "new" so it would only be a matter of copying them and adjusting a few things (button/damage etc).

Merovingian - Lupine attack (ability): Level 50 - the special attacks that they use available forever once attained. (like the smith virus/zombie bite) it only appears on your "abilities" panel. Only available in interlock. not a long recharge timer 30 or so sec maybe something relative to the damage if its higher damage longer recharge.

Zion - not sure of an ability but i did think of a nice item/gun...

Ghost's Gun (rifle): level 50

Quicker reload time than normal (5sec?)

16pts damage typical Ballistic Accuracy of i think its 7pts

Chance to stun/Ballistic Damage 5pts

Machine - Enhanced Bullet dodge (ability): Level 50 - "Master shadow" immunity (5sec). Can only be used out of interlock for obvious reasons. 300 sec recharge. (If possible grants evade to free fire only, interlock will remove the effect)

This includes some stuff that should really be in the "matrix universe" section but because its tied with the game and factions i choose to discuss it here.

I got wondering the other day about how particular factions use the faction/crew system. When it comes to a faction, what is it? Well literally its a collection of crews that are idealistically matched (or so the general consensus is, although normally its just a group of people who enjoy each others company).

This brings me to how the faction is controlled in a sort of hierarchal rank system. I got thinking that a lot of people see it that the leader rules over all, but when we return to the actual matrix lore the leader of a crew generally took more notice over they're own particular crew and probably then met/spoke with other crew leaders and the leader of the faction. That said its all just speculation since we really didn't have defined "factions" within the a matrix universe.

So when we look at the factions and crews of the matrix and compare them with the films i feel somehow that we've lost the intent that a crew had. You can see in the films that zion does have a militaristic ranking system from Locke right down to mouse. Although it appears to take a back seat (that could be down to the intent of the brothers I'm assuming since everything else has some sort of premeditated reason) in that particular crews roam free and simply report to the leader for duties/updates.

A good example of how the players that have been here and are so used to [the] "faction" rule is i recently joined a crew of completly new people some of which know each other in RL but minus me and i think the others are relatively new (some returning beta/lith players). It is in fact this crew thats caused me to rethink the normal Faction set-up. This is because when they are online they speak in crew chat initially and use Faction chat to discuss faction wide problems, goals or invitations (teaming etc). Does this not better represent the matrix universe as intended? I think the faction idea from a gaming point of view was just to abide by the normal rules of an MMO. That said its hard to justify it sometimes along with a few other changes to the universe to accompany an enjoyable MMO experience (eg EJP).

I'm not suggesting you should change but merely providing food for thought. (: It's challenged how i see factions anyway

Anyone remember the old online zion mainframe? you could drop text and info too. Write, edit and change using commands similar to an OS and also hide directories and files? Just thought whatever happened to it and if anyone has a link to it if its still running (:

Yay for new content that replaced old free content.. that i can now no longer get.

Is it just me or does having a three mission arc that is only playable fully if your level 50 with im guessing 50 rep sound like the stupidest invention ever. Now out of the three characters that i play fully and collect items and do missions on, one can complete the arcs the other two cant get past the first mission.

Even in theory it doesnt make sense. In order to actually get the full progressive story you have to be a required level and rep? So what your saying is as a level 30 with 30 rep you can only get the first mission of each arc which while essentially give you a snipit of the story and leave you with massive gaps every month or whatever? Its utterly stupid to be honest.

Its a great idea the static replayable story quests but that catch needs to be seriously reviewed. Feel free to point out where the good points are in this system and correct me, as it stands though: Unimpressed.

Is it possible to get a letter item that like event frags etc. have text and information on them. It would provide the opportunity to have a card or letter that can supply RP event details as well as notes or "research" in an event. It could have a GUI like the Background changer and can save a message to a single item (each once would have to be variable not sure hw that would work from a coding point of view). Just an idea that i'm sure has been brought up somewhere but i think it should be included it makes for great RP (and personal) uses.

With the announcement of the addition of the RSI changer dropped by bosses i got thinking... Isn't farming them too easy at the moment... theres very few that are suitable for "end game" content. So i got thinking why not instance them by making them mission NPC's?

You would have to say... complete the neighborhood contact missions of that neighborhood, after which you'd receive an item. This token would then allow you to open a mission that contains the level appropriate Boss and a few cronies if you want. To make this harder (if possible) restrict the number of team members to 1 so it must be solo'd, This means it cant be lowered with lower levels and killed by the 50.

Not only would these changes give a reason to complete the neighborhood missions but kill two birds by making the new content more enjoyable and challenging while still keeping it small scale and re-playable. If you wish you could also make some of the higher level neighborhoods have some more challenging boss' (say up the level to 55-60 for the top locations like Stratford. (:

Comments and suggestions?

I was lying trying to sleep last night and i had a random epiphany about some bonus ways to gain experience. While dueling (and pvp) someone would it be hard to give an experience output similar to that of an NPC? It would of course have to cap at around 5 levels above/below the target to stop people purposefully dieing for xp and it would need to be minimal but its an idea no less. Would mean you could learn loadouts and open up alot more dueling and pvping between lower levels while also gaining experience from it.

After spending some time working with aperture i give up and installed photoshop CS for my mac >.> lol anyway its been a while so i tried to remember all the small things i used to know and this was the product (:

Hey guys just renewed my sub to check out how everyones keepin and all these changes i've been quietly keeping an eye on :p i guess MXO always has me and always will >.< Who's still bopin about and that?

I have a friend who would like to try out mxo...thrilled at the thought of another possible sub ^^ i said sure i let him play with mine for a bit but he wanted to try it out for himself so i tried to find my old stash of trial keys :/ uber fail. My old computer which held them all is no longer there and i dont have any left.

So i remembered the "staion launcher" and the whole perminent trial thing...but when i tried to get it up and running for him (after downloading and setting up the launcher) it asks to find the trial... surely the trail is exactly the same as the game and all it would do is add the information to his account? but anyway it didnt recognise the game and is trying to install it again :s

Is there no simpler way to gain access to mxo trial these days or are we all shunted through this half complete software?

P.S ...why is there no trial area for MXO in the station website trial keys section... good holy frick they give out free game trials for everything but mxo? thats just taking the biscuit. And you wonder why we're pissed off that mxo gets no attention -.- PUT IT UP THERE PLEASE! >.<

Was going to put this in technical but its not really a question for help...

Anyone else experiencing issues with the forums? like total number of pages not displaying...dates being wrong...loged in when your not :S its been happening for a few days now have i smoked a little too much beef? ^^

Edit: recent topics not up to date since two or so days ago..

Just a thought but i'm sick of doing my critical missions twice for the rewards. Wouldnt it be better if as you completed the critical missions set your given...you recieve the end reward token. It makes sense to actually reward the organisation by making it easier to achieve they're reward, instead of making them do the same mission twice.

Currently i dont do critical missions purely because i refuse to spend time doing them twice for a reward.

With the recent accidental introduction of the organisational abilities i got thinking about reputation and how to increase it. At present the only way is grinding missions. Now thats not fun especially if you have 1 (like my zion who used to have max SMILEY

*sniff* ) So i got thinking...couldnt we increase the reputation gain from critical missions? They only come every few days and wont make a major difference but will in terms or trying to boost rep.

I got that when i went to log in -.^

When you first open the launcher it starts up zionOS etc launch version, yours and then it stops and waits for a moment before displaying the above error...

cant do a full system check as the launcher doesnt get past the first screen :/ any ideas?

Well im sure many of you know the old rick-rolled joke where you link things to his video... well. On the radio earlier they where saying thanks to a recent increase in people pulling the link-prank his record company have decided to re-release an Ultimate collection album and try and get him back in the charts >.< (: so methinks we must aim to get rick into the charts by supporting the dodgy dancer (:

OK yesterday i was doing a little snooping around other games and i noticed someting that alot of them follow when it comes to allocating points for skills/powers/abilities. I observed that the number of points available was increased when compared to the matrix, aswell as the number of places that where there to spend the attributes.

The question i now pose is, with a little reduction in the buffs provided and an increase in the number of points given (aswell as maybe an increase in the cap to even out the reduction in buffs) you would allow for better diversifiction. By that i mean, people would be able to use the attributes to change how they are effected by resistances alot more, instead of the obvious accuracy + damage.

Ofcourse not everyone does this and i've tried mixing and matching points to find a good balance between resistance and accuracy/damage. Unfortunatly theres just not enough points to be able to do this as well as there could be. Granted this would involve a majafus change in combat (yay -.-) but it might ultimately improve things.

What would also be affected by this would be where resistances go in the attributes in the first place. I mean what this change would combat is the inability to select what bonus' you have in resistance. Currently if you stick with acc/dmg you end up with whatever bonus' you got in each attribute... no fun there eh? >.<

P.S this might seem like a dev board idea but its not a suggestion it was a question as to how you think it would effect The Matrix Online, and you as a player. Aswell as how it effects you and any quims or quams you have about attributes. (:

Ok i took a minute to think about this and how it sort of makes sense really. Allow me to explain...

When you look at the story of the matrix, how many redpills where there? There was a city, a handful of which where in the matrix at a time. Now continuing on from the movies and neglecting the fact we where told hover barges where created to allow loads in at a time, It makes sense that there is few redpills in the matrix at a time. ( sure it sucks to be like that in an MMO but still...)

Personally it sucks story wise when you think about 10 redpills standing at mara c >.> or casually sitting by a hardline (which where only ever seen to escape from the matrix as far as i am aware - dont quote me on it tho SMILEY ).

Just thought i'd put that out don't you think its better that nearly everyone knows everyone and once in a blue moon we get a noobie?

How much would i get for two of each that curently reside in my clogged up invent?

Ok i'm going to be honest, the addition of the agent shirt is what everyone wanted (especially the female one if i remember correctly SMILEY ) but in a live event how stupid does it look when you have a room full of "agents" standing around lol just thought it looked funny for some reason >.> please dont flame SMILEY

What do you think? does it look silly to all suddenly done an agent outfit? or am i just not seeing the big picture? :S Ok i'll give that select few are there to look like agents (some RPing them) but when the entire room is wearing them? ^^ Cause for thought anyway...

Any1 have a Wii? i got 1 for christmas and just bought the net for £4:50 lol lying in bed on the Wii FTW? SMILEY

Is it actually for show? in my entire time playin this game i've never seen a result (possibly because no one flags but even so...i'd like to check if it does.)

How about a little revamp on that? how about making you auto flagged for LFT that way you'll have to use it to turn it off... instead of the opposit. Or making it less hidden away in a whole load of menu's? One of the main problems with missions is your generally soloing unless you have a faction/crew or your spaming to people if they want to team.

It'd be nice to be able to make some new friends to mish with on different characters ^^

Edit: Time etc 1

I was looking through a huge stash on a spare HD of old movies i captured in fraps of random MXO gameplay on the build up to CR2. When flicking through these i noticed some rather spiffing moves i was doing, i assumed these where spy moves they where quick and always into interlock. then i realised when i entered interlock i was using kung fu.

This made me think, what happened to all those old combat animations? they where amazing and i can see why people prefered CR1, i forgot just how *CENSORED* complex hand to hand combat (minus specials) really was. Back in CR1 they made normal combat as wide and as varied as the different specials there are. Unfortunatly this included wall runs etc and i can see and know why they where taken out but what about these old animations? can they be reused? or reimplimented to supply more of what the matrix some how lacking combat needs?

Actually look at the fighting, next time you go to duel someone try it without specials and tell me how interesting it looks. if we didnt have tactics it would be the same animations for hit hit, hit miss, miss hit and miss miss. multply that by the tactics and then by say 2 or 3 for the different types for each tactic and thats the total possible animations. pritty sh1t to be honest.

If i can find the old video i'll post it up and let you see what i mean.

P.S i know theres probably more animations i was only proving a point.

You can see the video here, keep and eye for the old animations.

This is something that is graphically nothing to do with MXO as the problem itself but i can tell you its triggered by The Matrix. It has happened before several times and in different places; normally but not restricted to the dungeon's. I can pin point the reccuring spot where my "VPU is forced to do a recovery", i have had this happen in the same spot four times. Note the game doesn't crash it stays open often flicking from a black screen to the game. That said, on the odd occasion it doesn't successfully recover and i lose all Graphic capability (running MXO causes a "Client.dill" problem; graphically connected - i'll post a screen shot of the Warning)

Here is the "VPU recover" dialogue box:

I've tried searching for a new update but as far as i can tell there isnt a new one. My graphics care is an ATI Radeon 9200 i'll post my bios in a minute when i can get them.

Like this screen, and couldn't help but try and improve its graphical glitch of an arm along with some other enhancements SMILEY

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-1-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far *CENSORED* kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that, while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the bullsh1t and *CENSORED* kissing that will put you over the top.
Don't you just Love it!!!

I'd like to ask a question(s) to every person reading these forums:

Do you think personally MXO will ever pick up? After the scale of things went from good to bad to worse to 1hp. Then it began to slowly increase, buddy keys came out and more people joined. Will it ever get the promotion it so rightfully needs? Do you think SOE will take notice if it does increase and staff a few more DEV's? How do you see MXO in a year or two?

Answer by quoting and answering all that i asked please.

My opinion:

I think soon mxo will start to grow, i believe that sometime eventually (a year or so) there will be enough people to allow for some new tools for MXO (server,dev,let etc) It may take that time and other things like self promotion and LP2 but i hope it does happen.

I have stole *borrowed (>< SMILEY

a mac computer from school, after sucessfully connecting to my home wireless computer i ofcourse when straight to MXO website to test it SMILEY

But when i entered the forums it removed half the buttons from the top/right hand corner and removed the names of recent posts also. Any reason for this? because im stumped :S

I just read this topic on creating a new district etc, and one of the most important throw backs with it is "We don't use downtown anyway why put in another district that wont be used." This got me thinking....why do you not mission in downtown when you hit 33?....because it allows you to go back to ritchland and mission there easily. Now i know for sure that when i hit whatever level it is in 20's and it sends me to westview its a pain in the arse...but it did get me to westview didnt it? So i pose this idea:

Force level 33-49 to mission in downtown; Missions wont spawn in ritchland or international only in downtown untill they hit 50, then they can mission anywhere.

This might hurt the Pl industry SMILEY as you cant level unless your in the "section" of levels. they'll be grouped in three stages:

Low: 1--20 (ritchland)
Medium: 20-33(westview)
High: 33-49 (Downtown)

I currently run Mxo on two computers i used them both last night but when i started one of them up earlier (7:30GMT approx) i suddenly got a new update/patch?! I procceded to go to update the second computer...and it started normally?! SMILEY

i donno about you but im confused :S

Ever played all night in the hope there might be an event, but missed it thanks to not knowing where it was going on? How would you like to be notified when an event is currently on? Introducing EventNotification, the chat pop-up that allows you to see when an event is in play and where!

Note: This is just a beta test and i'd like to see how this goes in terms of working fluently and if it is infact possible to pull off. You will recieve an ingame e-mail or tell (we'll test that out) With details of any *Organisation* event across any server. Please note information on events will only be supplied to those with the correct organisation.

System of events: to signal an event is in place, ingame e-mail Recursion.EventNotifications. Include details of organisation, where and anything else necessary. I have my own sources but with help from more people, it can be improved.

To sign up for this system please supply your Character(s) name, server(s) and organisation(s). Or e-mail recursion.EventNotifications if you do not wish to publicly announce alts etc. (Please note Organisations include splinter organisations: EPN and Cypherite)

Please feel free to ask any questions about the system.
