I figured there has to be other NHL fans here besides Nixon and I, so here's a thread for all of you to post your thoughts on the games, teams, players, ect.

Today's Games:

Chicago
@Detroit

NY Rangers
@New Jersey

San Jose
@Dallas

St. Louis
@Columbus

Pittsburgh
@Philadelphia

Minnesota
@Colorado

Phoenix
@Anaheim

In other news, Crosby and Briere are sitting out todays game. If the Pens win today in Philly, they are the Eastern Conference Champions, as they would tie Montreal with 104 points, and hold they tiebreaker over Montreal.

Today's NHL on NBC game was Chicago @Detroit, Detroit came out with a 4-1 win over the Blackhawks. The Wings got the NHL's President's Trophy, which goes to the team with the best record. They're guaranteed to have home ice advantage through the playoffs.

So here ya go, Hockey fans, discuss away.

I is purplez? Wut?

Looks like the new ranks are rolling out again.

Edit: 1000th post!

...are the portable signal boosters in Datamine getting teleported out with the players who use the proxy to exit?

This isn't the first time that I've used a proxy to exit Datamine and wound up face to face with a booster in the same spot that I get ported to. I keep wondering why I can't seem to come across any inside the construct, and I think perhaps this is why.

Well, I got out of my MxO rut in preparation for the 2 year anniversary event, and I decided to make a sig commemorating it. How's it look?

Yes, that's right, I'm not dead, but that isn't the point of this topic. I feel that everyone here must watch this informational video on the dangers of "zombies".

By watching this video, you will be more politically correct, more prepared for the "zombie" onslaught, and more inclined to love two dimensions.

The Living Dead Informational Video

Whilst I lay in bed with insomnia tonight a revelation came to me, one I had put in the back of my mind for a long time. Dungeon(Hideout) encounters in MxO are boring, bland, and provide no challenge. Now, what if the developers created new "golden ticket" dugeons based upon past enemies of the Matrix? The ticket would be purchased off of an Archivist, or perhaps the Archaeologist and it would call up a mission area. This area, however, would be a dungeon underneath a random mission building that would have enemies based upon the past event it is representing. Below are lined out how some would work. Boss drops would be relevant to the encounter and determined by the developers.

Race to find the One:
Hideout begins with a fight against standard red-eye agents. As players progress, the red eyes start being phased out to be replaced with stronger N30 Agents. Near the middle of the hideout, there is a mini-boss encounter with what was referred to as a "lightning agent" (reference: MxOStory.com). Now, as an added twist, in the final room, the boss is a "corrupted" Shaper, the one the General stole to creat the N30s. The encounter with the Shaper would be that at every loss of 10% of his health(so at 90% hp left, 80%, ect.) , he sumons in an N30 Agent or two. At 10% health remaining, he summons in another "lightning agent".

Nightfall:
Hideout begins against low ranked vampires (Blood drunks) and progresses into Blood Nobles. 1/3 of the way through the hideout, the player encounters a redpill who wishes to be turned by Invalesco, and such defends against the attacking team. This is a miniboss encounter. 2/3 of the way through, the players encounter another such redpill, though one who is stronger than the last. During the boss battle against Invalesco, he has the ability to briefly "turn" one of the attacking players for 10 seconds and make them use their abilities against their teammates. If this is not possible (perhaps an engineering obstacle or such), the "turned" player is reduced to 50% of their current health, and stunned for 10 seconds. Has the ability to siphon life from players in interlock by drinking their blood code.

Death of the Destroyer:
Players begin fighting against the "Corrupted" spawns(the ones who look like bluepills and burst into flies) which progress into what I call "Incomplete Corrupters" (complete fly bodies with a floating Assassin mask). All spawns liberally drop "Insecticide Code" (which stacks to 100 per stack). Miniboss for the area would be a (toned down) Complete Corrupter killable by only using the Insecticide Code (which players should have a ton of by the time they reach the mini-boss. The Complete Corrupter drops 6 Flit guns(one for each team member). The final boss would be the Assassin himself. At 50% hp, he splits into a second Assassin(who is also at 50%) and at 25% both split again(each still with 25%).

So, I've been wandering if anyone in this community plays Mario Kart DS over Nintendo WiFi. It'd be cool to have some matches against the very people we play MxO with. So, feel free to share your Friend Code if you do.

Mine is: 257769180995.

After a /play of 46 days, 12 hours, 22 minutes... it is done.

A big f'in "Thank You" goes out to DragnMastyr for helping out more than he could have possibly imagined.

You know you're from Method if...

...you remember lagging out more than jacking in.
...you remember <THE ENDLESS ONES> or <The Dark Armada>.
...you remember the above two factions killed off Invalesco (with the help of Joppe of TGS).
...you remember the appearance of the <Machines> faction.
...the Machines saved Neurophyte and let her live.
...LEG10N show up out of nowhere during the server transfers and start owning PvP.
...you were at the formation of the actual <LEG10N> faction.
...you remember either being at a giant meeting on top the government building with Legion with an invitation to join, or you remember ambushing such a meeting and fighting off Legion.
...Calliente identified Toorima as Vashuo's killer.
...Lelan called you wallpaper.

I was just looking over the new site, and it seems there is no link to the Sentinel anywhere. Was this just an oversite, or was it intentional?

This has been an ongoing problem for at least the past month. Every time I start running missions, my system eventually does a hard reboot on me. Now, 90% of the time, this happens right as I use an elevator panel, and the remaining 10% would be shortly after I use one. I have already re-installed my video card drivers to the latest version, but to no avail, it didn't fix the problem.
Any help?

Remember all those posts Pre-SOE that complained and warned that if SOE got this game, we would be seeing lightsabers in the Matrix in almost no time? Well, I hate to say it, but I think they were right... Let the picture below do the talking.

Alright, redpills, since we already have a "Boot to the head!" thread, we need a "PUNT!" thread. So, upload your best "PUNT!" screenshots and let's see 'em!

Mine are below:

^Mr. Bartle, Security Guard.

^The Assassin, Lord of the Flies

Ok, well, I'm looking for some specific items. I'm willing to pay for a level 40+ shielded and/or armored Gray Yozamaki Sei Jacket and a pair of level 40+ shielded and/or armored Baal Strapped Pants.

Well, it seems that there is a new bug with the CR. Before it was patched and uploaded, my character was logged out with assassin loaded up to Bulldog. When I logged back in, after patching, I found my abilites unloaded to operative. I am now unable to load up anything passed Leg Throw on the cutthroat side. When I try to load them, I recieve a system message "Ability is not equipped".

Any help on this?

Ever since SOE took this game in, it seems our beloved(ok, not many people used it really, give me a break) Flash Traffic system has been scrapped. So, now when we use the World Events button, it brings us to a page that just states "COMING SOON!". So, here's an idea to make it useful that would require little work to actually inplement.

The devs would create a website of all the character posts done in the "Live Events" forum. Then, they would put these posts up on this, and have the button open the in-game browser and take players to the page. So, instead of seeing this:

You would see:

Any comments?

Alright, this is for all you talented atrists out there. We, Somnus Fraternitas, would like one (read: anyone who wants to) of you to make us a wallpaper for the faction members(and anyone else who might want to use it).

Here is one screenshot you might want to use to do so: LINK!

The following is our faction logo:

If you don't like the screenshot provided, message RogueA, DragnMastyr, or Tsurai to get us for a screenshot.

Greetings, redpill. I see that you are tired and weary. Don't worry, you'll be getting some rest soon enough... The Matrix is your home, afterall. The Real cannot be cosidered a home, it is a disilent and barren wasteland that's been decimated by our ancestors. We are here to make sure you see the real Truth, the truth that Zion will never tell you, the "Real World" is beyond saving. What is "real" other than what your unique mind percieves it to be? That's right... you see it... we all saw it, the Matrix is as "real" as anything.

We are Somnus Fraternitas. If you don't know our name, you will. We are a Cypherite group, humans devoted to returning to the Matrix, but our agenda goes much deeper than that. But you aren't here for that, are you? No, you know that "real" Peace can only be achieved when redpills are nolonger given free reign of the system. Should your ideals fall within the realm of ours, you need not but contact one of the leaders to find a safe haven within the Brotherhood of Sleep.

Ok, it seems that since the last patch, all my missions completely involve the commandos. Ive got maxed Machine rep, so I thought I should be fighting the Merv's Exiles, but instead I'm fighting none other than a ton of commandos. Is this a bug? It wasn't mentioned in any patch notes.

Hey all, I just wanted to post a link to this amazing flash movie. It has superb graphic and animation, some good jokes, and it's overall well done. You don't even have to be a WoW fan to enjoy it... hell, you don't even have to like WoW to enjoy it.

##DISPLAYING LOG - JAN.07.2006##

I awoke with a startle, my face feeling the scruff of the grainy carpet. I was confused, as I look around, I realized I had no knowledge of myself, nor my past, or present conditions. All I knew is for some odd reason, I was hurt. My right shoulder had a bullet wound, as well as my left leg, and I was very bruised. As I pushed myself up, I saw an old unplugged monitor. I limped over to it... and saw my reflection within the glass. I was overcome with a feeling of remorse, and then a complete rush as my memories flooded back into my mind. I fell to the ground with exhaustion, and almost passed out.

As I recollected my thoughts, I realized the damaged I had caused... my once peaceful nature was broken when I lost those damned memories. Heh, memories, who would think that a person is nothing but a collection of memories? I remembered everything from my rampage. The poor Blues that I slaughtered, the countless Reds I sent back to their Jack-in chairs, Anubis's bullets tearing through my flesh... all of it. I was overwhelmed with remorse, but I held steadfast. As I sat there, thinking over what had happened, I then realized my crew must be awfully worried about me. I was headed for the exit, when I noticed a calendar on the wall... January it read.

"Now that can't be right", I thought to myself, "It's October, isn't it?" As I walked out, a man was in the hall. I asked him the date, and he confirmed... it was indeed January. That meant I was out for **bleep** near three months... I raced to the hardline, and tried to jack out. I heard no voice on the other end, but the familiar feeling told me it was working. I closed my eyes, letting my mind re-enter my body... or so I thought.

As I re-opened my eyelids, I found myself in a loading construct. An endless white void, but unlike the others, this one had a desk with a phone on it. There was a yellow phonebook next to it as well. I picked up the phone and tried to jack out again. No luck, it failed to work its magic. Frustrated, I opened the book... inside was suprising. Instead of normal phone book entries, there were numbers for all the hardline around the city. After that, there were endless pages of codes that could be entered for items, I was confused.

I dialed up Tabor North, and found myself there almost instantly. I then decided it was best if I tried to contact someone... anyone, to let them know I was alive. The first name that came to my mind was that of my old crewmate, Zyfon. I dialed his number and waited. Finally he answered, and was befuddled to hear my voice. As I spoke to him, he started becoming indignant, insisting I was dead. I assured him I was not, but he closed the connection. I then called the next name on my list... DragnMastyr. He was a little more... calm, I could say. As he kept insisting he must be dreaming, as I was deceased and there was no way he could be speaking to me, I started to become worried. I asked him where his information came from, and he informed me that the HvCFT Omega found my escape pod about a month ago... with my corpse inside of it. I started to flip out... how in the world could I be dead?

If this is true, what am I now? Am I a ghost? A program? Is my mind trapped in my RSI? If so, what happens when my RSI dies? Only time will tell...

##END LOG##
##CONNECTION CLOSED##

I was thinking about the game, when I realized that none of the orgs have logos! Not one at all. Now what self-respecting organization does not have a logo to proudly show among its followers(on sigs and such) and to leave as a calling card for its enemies?

So, I'm calling on YOU, the graphical community of MxO. Come up with organization logos for Zion, Machines, the Merovingian, and Cypherites. Perhaps we could arrange a contest of sorts, or something. But the logos should be transparent PNG pictures, so people can put them on their sigs and such.

Greetings,

If you are recieving this, then I have failed in my mission. One way or
another, my life has been ended. I do not know how it happened, nor
why, but such is fate. I only hope I died fighting for what I believe
in, the maintainence of Neo's legacy and the Peace he brought. Of the
short time I have been awakened, I have been through so much. My
awakening itself, though not the best of experiences, was somethign I
would never take back.

Many of you may ask, "If he served for Neo's cause, then why was he not
for Zion? Why did he work for the Machines?". The answer is simple, the
closest way to serve his cause is to be on the side of those willing to
uphold it. I saw none of that during my short stay in Zion. Heh, I'm
already turning this into a recruitment message...

Well, enough of that. I'd like to thank the people who have changed my
life through this short time... First, DragnMastyr... you a true
comrade and like a brother to me. Tsurai, you have been a friend for
all too long, thank you. Gothique, I **bleep** well hope you are reading
this, you were a faithful leader and a great friend to me. Calliente,
once an enemy, now a comrade... keep your heart in the right place and
you will be just fine. The Machines Faction, you were one of the
greatest groups I have ever been in. And how could I forget LEG10N? I
hope you all are out there somewhere, keeping the Truce. Especially you
Hymir. Zeromous, Caladein, Cyl0n, thank you for all the memories. And
finally Venatrix, keep up the good fight and I hope you never stray
from the Path... If you were not mentioned, I am sorry, I am writing
this quite quickly, but you are not forgotten.

I thank all of you for such a great time, and I wish you all well.

Seriously, could we get anymore stickies on the boards? Anymore and we
will have our original view of the forum filled with them. The Pandora
stickies could possibly get dropped since there is now enough
information within the player base and probably within the SOE support
knowledge base on it.

Everyone has seen those signatures with the little movies in them. They
are becoming increasingly popular, but there is one question that
lingers on my mind... How do you make them? I know it involves
ImageReady... but that's as far as I know about them. Can anyone hook
me and others up with some tutorials?

Well, since I haven't seen this one going around, here's a thread we
had on the old boards. Rate the sig of the person who posted above you,
or anyone else that you choose.

Ratings will be #/10, do not rate their post please.

Also, please leave comments on why you rated what you did.

Ok, first off I don't know if I posted this in the right place, I
figured I did since I wanted an official response. Now, to my question,
what is the chance of us getting MxO Related Poster Avatars on these
boards? I hear the SWG boards have SWG icons for their classes and
items, so why can't we have that kind of thing for the MxO boards here?
All the icons are in the fansite kit released by WB so there shouldn't
be a problem finding them. Just wondering if it could be possible.

Seriously, could you imagine this?

Yes... I got very bored today...

Where are the orginizational forums? I brought up their absence when
these forums were created, but it has been ignored. Walrus, are you
able to create these forums? We need a place for Zion, Machines, and
Meros to talk to their own orgs.

Ok, well I got bored today so I made a Machine themed wallpaper. Click the thumbnail for a preview of it.

It comes in 3 sizes, 800x600, 1024x768, and 1200x900. They're all contained in one zip file.

OK, I stole this off my post in Gothique's thread up in general discussion. It is for a spy branch called Ninjitsu.

Ok, I had this idea while walking around the Mega City
today. I started thinking about the event crew the Novalus II and how
their crew was set up. They had different professions such as Medical
Officer or Ships Engineer. Why not have these professions in-game?

The
way these would work would be, you go to a hardline. When you right
click, you have a tab called Training. From there, you take missions to
train for a profession. Each profession would link up to a class and
give that class certain buffs in-game.

Lets say someone is a
"Hitman" for lack of a better name, when they load up Assassin or
Master Assassin they would gain buffs for that class.

Professions would not be a thing you could instantly change either, it would be something to work towards and keep.

If you like this idea, please submit it as feedback.
