You have to be in Richland (or Westview but you will have to make your way to Richland). All the 7.1 missions have been Richland specific as you meet the Oracle in Mara.

The second time I pulled this one, I was in International. Which surprised me because, yeah, all the others had been in Richland.

I also had the "Commandos board the elevator, never to return" bug. At least with the "mobs walk out the front door and journey to another floor of the building" bug, you can track them down and kill them, even if you are going to have to restart the mission. The elevator bug lack even that satisfaction.

I'm hopeful that on my third attempt I'll manage to make it to the end . . . .

We've never met, but I'm sorry to see you go. Thanks for all you've done.

Hope the new game is something set in the modern day . . . . . but with swords and kung fu.

Shadow, can you post the link to your page? Please. And thank you. SMILEY

Thank you so much for the clothing list. Very much appreciated.

And, because I (sadly) can never have anything without wanting more, can we get the weapons list as well?

Our Devs rock!

So, is there any specific feature you'd like to see brought to the community? If it's feasible, we'll definitely look into it.

A podcast? All the other matrix podcasts seem to have faded. Like all the other suggestions as well.

Made this topic for myself and all the other new players out there. I could use some tips, I have played 4 or 5 other MMORPGs but this one is well.... kinda weird. I mean nobody ever says anything, and its way to quite around.

Mara Central is a good place to look for help.

/who will tell you the names, load outs, and level of everyone in you current zone. If you see someone who is close to your level, send them a tell and ask if they want to team up. Be polite and at worst they will say no.

Joining a faction is ultimately the way to go, but it is worth teaming up with people a few times to see if you're really a good fit with them.

Anyway, the common thread here is that you have to make the first move. This game has been going for so long that everyone assumes that if you're alone, that's the way you want to be. People are actually very friendly and helpful in the game, but the default assumption is always going to be that you already have all the help and friends you need.

There is also a penalty to your

rolls for using guns in melee combat. Down the operative tree there's

an ability called Sharpshooter. If you're of-level and had the memory

slot, keeping that ability loaded will negate the guns in melee combat

penalty.

Does sharpshooter really help when you're in interlock? I thought it was only for when you were out of side of interlock and shooting at an enemy who was in interlock with someone else?

As a Level 36 Gunslinger, Pistol slide does like ~300 pts to Unlimit Reactors. All my other specials do ~100. When I load Kung Fu master, Machine gun fist and Misdirect Punch both do ~200 and Piston Kicks do ~400 to the Unlimit Reactors.

Why is Gunslinger so whimpy? I find myself ignoring the other specials, just letting grab attacks (~90 pts damage) land until I get an Off balance on the reactor and then hitting them with a pistol slide. Burns up a lot of health pills and just doesn't work if I'm fighting more than two at a time. [Whose idea was it to have that mission where you fight 5 at one time? Grrrrr.]

Also, do you all keep up Hyper-Dodge or Hyper-Block when interlocked with one Reactor and being shot at by a second? I've been using Dodge.

Facts? Opinions? Personal experiences? Ugly graffitti sprayed on my hovercraft? Thanks in advance for any and all.

BASTE!!!!!!!!!!! nah selling to venders dont turn up profit in teh game anymore.

Well, crap. Also . . . ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!! SMILEY

Is there anything you can craft and then sell to the vendors at a profit?

I've got all these bits from 35 lvls of decompiling things, but all my attempts at the using the marketplace have been futile. I'd like to do something with them besides just recycle them.

Understand completely about the RW. I just wanted you know there were people who wanted to hear it. SMILEY

When will episode 9 be up? Looking forward to it.

The devs could go the City of Heroes route and create a dedicated
archive for PvPing. Unlike the current ones, it would be open to
any level and when you entered, your character would automatically be
bumped to level 50. It wouldn't add abilities, but the abilities
the characters did have loaded would be treated as being at 50.
When you jack out of the archive, all your levels go back to normal.

Obviously, a true 50 still has a big advantage over a temp 50, but at
least anyone could be involved and combats could balanced in other
ways.

It's a thought anyway.

If you want to use two pistols (Duelist? Does that title still mean anything?) but you also want to be able to craft consumables, which template would you recommend?

Thanks for posting this. Very, very helpful.

Thanks. Never happened to me before. I was really pissed to finally (finally!) score a red frag and it was the wrong one.

I was in Maribeau this morning, farming for a weapon patch. After an hour or so of killing, I finally got a red frag to drop. Problem was, it was a coder interface.

Anyone had something similar happen? Have the devs shuffled red frags? Have red frags been added to the loot lists like stakes and silver bullets?

Shuffling would be a very bad thing. IMHO.

Great film. An MxO movie with no fighting. A first, I think. Story heavy and very well filmed. You deserve to be proud.

persephone visited? when and where and what did she say (if you can say anything without saying too much that would be helpful)

I assume the reference is to this thread:

It is also worth mentioning that we're teamspeak friendly. Typing has its place, but we prefer to talk to one another.

Many of the other two person emotes do, but these two don't. It isn't the usual issues with the emote not displaying properly. The targets don't the question and I don't get an error message. I was hoping the patch would fix it, but it hasn't.

Anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Thanks for any help you can lend!

Same question.

Thanks for the replies. It ended up being my cable provider. Why they were blocking the bands I needed for MxO and not the ones I needed for the web, I don't know, but I'm glad they stopped.

My launcher is upto date, my ports are properly forwarded, I'm putting in the right name and password, my account seems to be active, and Data1 says the servers are up. Despite all that, I can't get on. Anyone else having trouble?

Anyone else having problems with 3.2, dire connection? I kill the lone lupine, and then three of them come at me and kill me. I rez, come back, and there is only one lupine left. I kill him, but the other two are gone and the mission won't complete because I have to "kill all." This has happened to me twice now. Very frustrating. No way to know if it is bugged or if the last two are "hiding" and I don't know how to flush them out. Suggestions? Besides, you know, "Don't die." Thought of that one myself. SMILEY

Is it a thread jack to ask what emotes you all keep hotbarred when you RP?

Annoying game question first: Which gi is that the woman is wearing?

/second sky that story would have improved it. If you're going to toss in the "sex" emotes, you could have made them part of the story. Hero defends lover from *CENSORED*, for instance, or romance interrupted by jealous villain, or challenge match ends in romance. Whatever works for you. We all love the combat and the emotes in this game, or we wouldn't still be here, but it is nice when something ties them together.

FWIW, I actually like the Mortal Kombat song, so I suppose that makes my taste questionable, but I liked where you fit the action to it.

Not so much. You put in a lot of work, but all you asked in return was that we give you our opinion. I just posted to let you know that I watched it, and I thought it was impressive enough to have an opinion of.

Looking through all of these pages, I feel a little wierded out. Nothing but kids. Exactly how many people that play this game are 30+ (I'm 34) ? ? ?

I'm 40. That must help push the average up at least a little . . . .

so... though it wasn't necessarily a specific order from Zion, and though it was the digital representation of the act within the matrix, performed on a program (that was still a sentient being), versus the act on a human sentient in the Outer World, i none the less ripped open the ribcage of a woman i'd just killed to pull out her heart and threaten a man who had information i desired, in the service of Zion.

-uljhar

Can't remember if I did that one or not, but I do remember a local mission (?) where you go and get the exile's wife, then threaten to harm her if he doesn't talk. I can see that if you're taking freelance missions outside the your duty to Zion, you have only yourself to blame if your hands get dirty, but I don't want to see an exile mind set taking over in Zion command.

[[I was talking about the city of villains beta with a friend who expressed surprise that anyone would want to play villains. I assured him that in 3 months in CoV, I never did anything as villainous as some things I've done on dev created missions in the matrix.]]

whatever .... i dont really care as long as you respond to this lol. i thrive on feedback ......my ego is the size of texas lol.

Having been an observer on a movie shoot a few months back, I can appreciate the effort, but overall you don't have enough story for the length of your video. Beaten up, changed into a monster, hunts innocents, is slain would have been a better story than simply chased and changed.

Also, I would have enjoyed it more if it had contained some conflict and if it had taken advantage of more of the emotes, particularly the two person ones.

I like it for what it is, but I would have liked it more if it had had more going on.

Two mornings in a row in the Matrix. Go me! :smileyhappy:

Still haven't finished the first crit. Someone pointed out that it is less a chance to commit murder than an opportunity to farm frags. And so it is. Very handy walking into the mobs and having them outnumbered for a change.

That said, I'm glad to have my reality confirmed that this is not how we want Zion to be doing business.

Sigh. Where is Morph when you need him?

My lack of time to play continues to bite me I never did get a chance to finish the spray gun criticals. I guess they are gone as this morning the new critical wanted to me to drag three commandos off somewhere and get them killed. Didn't complete the mission as:

a) I was in International, a long way from any mobs who would be able to do damage to level 30s or even engage them.

b) Isn't Zion supposed to be the good guys? But our idea of responsible politics is to lead people we know nothing about into ambushes? Putting the best face on it, I guess we're supposed to assume that they are redpills and will revive, so that our actions are merely distasteful rather than duplicitiuous and murderous.

I love Niobe as much as anyone and maybe more than most, but if I wanted to screw strangers just on principle, I'd have joined a different faction.
Thoughts? Opinions? Fire bombings of my hovercraft?

Thanks guys for confirming my reality. I was hoping maybe there was something I'd missed when I was doing the math. Being there at 5:00 a.m. EST today, I had the place to myself, but that doesn't do much good if I can't knock down the boss.

Is it possible? I just scouted the land this morning. Looks like not being eaten by the vamps standing around would be a problem too.

Comments? Suggestions? Firebombings of my house?
