Not only that. NPCs also can use abilities they aren't equipped for. Example: Dual Pistol Execution with only one gun.

Another thing with NPCs: an NPC's freefire move executes no matter what happens. If an NPC launches a Hack and gets shot while the hack is still casting the move will still finish eventhough the NPC has died (easiest to notice with Howitzer NPCs or Duelist's Disarming Shot that have longer casting times). That is something that would never work for a player

Guess that's by-design too

I personally would like to see a personalisation option to characters like 'sims' etc. But knowing this will never happen maybe some more RSI pills that are availible after character creation? Or Availible at different levl stages like the emotes?

As they say Variety is the spice of life!

How would the game know your age?

And you said it yourself, he was calling someone a name, if it was language used towards someone they were right to suspend, but even Niobe lets off the odd blue word when it isn't directed at anyone or at the least directed at NPCs

If you run the game on Vista with active UAC then the System Directory Redirection messes up your game completely. Perhaps that might have caused this crap. UAC redirects all non-Admin write access from real System Directories (e. g. C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, etc.) into the user's VirtualStore folder. That has been known to cause problems with MxO: For example saved Loadouts and User Interface settings end up in VirtualStore. If a game patch gets "redirected" then the whole game is a complete mess.

• Either elevate the game to full Admin rights to circumvent that
• Or install the game (and maybe other pre-Vista games too) in a seperate full read-write access directory that is not subject to UAC redirection

For quite a while now I noticed that the melee combat styles of Multi-Loadout NPCs are bugged: Reduced to Self-Defense combat style.

Examples:

• EPN Crusaders are supposed to be Kungfu/Duelist but instead of Kungfu they do Self-Defense
• Unlimit Soldiers are supposed to be Karate/Rifle/Hacker - no Karate, Self-Defense instead
• Elite Commandos do Self-Defense instead of Aikido
• Similar bugs with SSR Sec Guards, Kalt Executive Security and countless other Multi-Build NPCs

Is that a bug or has this been changed on purpose?

4) After being killed in Datamine you have to reconstruct then run back to your archivist and then wait... for what seems like days for him to actually send you back >_<

To solve that one though, the Archivist needs to be altered, or better yet, Datamine can be added to the list on the Hardline so we can go straight back from the Loading Area.  An NPC in Datamine drops a file, which when uploaded adds Datamine under the construct section of the Headline, it will also then destroy the file as to prevent it being passed on to other people to do the same without beating the NPC. 

Me and a faction have been teaming up, we go in and do our best to take out Master Shadow users and any other tappers mainly to justify the info rate, regardless of org.

I like the idea, but it still doesn't benefit people like me who work during event times " />

It's a good idea though in my opinion.

I remember reading that in the manual and thinking about how cool it would be too... then I also found out they didn't exist. *frowns* I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement them, but I'm also not sure this is even on the devs radar right now. Maybe someone should ask in the Ask A Dev thread (though I'm pretty sure it's been asked already).

HJing NPCs? Proxy Masters will be very glad. Let the proxy hunt down the runners while sitting on a bench. I'd like to see that ^_^

It would be awesome if there was a way to destroy one of these suckers. 

My thoughts:
-Signal Booster must be in inventory
-Must have Tool Crafter loaded and leveled to 40 or higher
-Have the 'ability' take several minutes to launch
-Successful decomposition burns a tool subroutine and will remove the pvp flag from the individual (assuming they don't have any other luggables)

 

An Org channel would be (at least I think it would) easier to implement then a multpile faction channel. For a multi faction channel there would have to be a way for a user to select which factions to join with and add them to the chat channel...

Mind you an Org channel is open to abuse....

• Only the flag ship is Rank 1
• Sub-commanding vessels are Rank 2
• The rest is lower

Thanks for the feedback and interest all!

I concur that allowing customization of props would be really great too. I didn't ask for it, because it seemed like the kind of thing that would involve more work from the devs to develop an interface for that action. Just having the items be luggable seemed like a relatively easy proposal.

I was unaware that Red/Blue Pills were a semi-rare commodity item. I guess I just don't get the "valuable because its rare, despite being useless" attitude. What good are these, except for RPing? Seriously people, if yer collecting "rare but useless" Matrix items, you might want to consider getting a life, or at least a Real World hobby like collecting baseball cards or stamps. (Seriously, I decomped all of my Beta clothes except the glasses. They took up space and were ugly(the women's,except the glasses, the men's weren't too bad), and its not like I'm going to parade around in them saying "OOh, look at me, Im Beta!"" /> Anyway...

And, yeah *sigh* I guess we shouldn't assume that there wil always be so few players, but... yeah, even at lauch when the game was full of people there were plenty of mish spaces available. I mean, think about it... practically every floor of every building in the game (excluding ground, and accesible roof, ledge floors) is available for missions. There's probably tens of thousands of such rooms available, at least a hundred per district, and in DT considerably more! i really can't see how the few people running RP's would seriously impact the system. There might be an initial flurry of people trying them out when they get released (just like the holiday tickets) but once the novelty wears off they'll basically be used for the occasional RP session.

And I guess other people have proposed these before, but, well I guess it doesn't hurt to keep asking.

I'd like to play on full resolution without the tiny hotbar which I tend to miss so often. I suggest some tick in options for small -med -large hotbar  =D

I use to get an occasional advert.

I've only seen them in US people's screenshots. I also asked why a long time ago and found that due to IP address legality issues they can't do anything about it... a few may have broken through though...

How about it?  With these recent Joker events alot of people have had a great time having free for all fights.  I see Rarebit has left the areas active on Recursion and Vector, people have been hanging at these spots since they were planted.  I'm not sure if it works like a pacification zone, but is it possible to make a tool that would work like that and perhaps plant it into some fights clubs or dojos in the Mega City in a future patch?

As the old saying goes "Better late than never"

When Rarebit mentioned that there may be a little delay in the update I guessed it would be added to the Winter Holiday update.  And I am looking forward to the Xmas event ^^

Is yo faction so low on girls that you have to promo a dead one to First Lady? LOL

Let's see... Max left again, Greeny deleted her character like a *CENSORED*, LadyP is hardly on, Absolve came on for like a day and disappeared... so yeah, guess we do. " />

Manua for first lady!

If a character is deleted and there is no existing RSI, then the name should be released and back into circulation for someone else to be able to choose it. But if there's an existing RSI for for the name, then the name should always be tied into that account/character no matter if the account is active or not.

No one should ever quit a game and then upon coming back find out someone else stole their name forcing them to rename their character.

 

The one thing that would be nice is now that our character names dont go under PlayerName @TheMatrixOnline.com anymore, if we could claim the same names on different servers. So for me, being able to have SOE.MxO.Syntax.AnXieTy762, SOE.MxO.Recursion.AnXieTy762, and SOE.MxO.Vector-Hostile.AnXieTy762. That would be something that would be nice to see.

CCD: How to Quit An MMO
(CCD: Clean Char Disband)

If you decide to quit an MMO for good you should do these things during the last subscription period:

• Give your valuables (i. e. Event Items, Collector Rewards, etc.) to your closest friends
• Sell the rest of your stuffs (down to the last Code Bit) on the market (dont dump your stuffs, use reasonable values!)
• If you have multiple chars on one server repeat the procedure above for all chars and merge the funds on your main char
  
• Place 10% of the resulting wealth in your crew's bank (if your crew disbands along with you skip this)
  
• Place the rest of the funds in your faction's bank
• Repeat this for all servers
• Delete the empty (naked *LOL*) chars one day before your subscription expires

This will free up your chars' names for future users. It's only fair and square to return your existence in that MMO to the pool if you decide to be gone for good. If someone decides to name themselves "Manua" and play off a pile of *CENSORED* they're free to do so. It bothers me nothing cuz it's a game I dont play anymore.

Speaking of this... here's the official disclaimer: If you find someone named Manua and she's doing some piece of *CENSORED* you cannot hold ME responsible for that, because that is NOT me LOL

They can only use your name if they play on your account though, it's kinda stuck to the account. Trust me, I've tried this before.

The Pandora's Box quest starts at 30, as does the Corruptor's Quest, isn't it level 17 that missions force you to Richland at which point it could mention International and that they can collect keys to get around easier.  The archives should be mentioned as soon as the intro missions are done.  Other than those changes it perfect, though it mey not be a good idea to mention all the quests available as, hopefully, more quests will be added and it will seem weird unless they update these messages regularly.  It would be best just to mention other districts and the ARchives and leave the rest to be found out from faction mates and friends as most of it will require their help anyway.
