[CoZ]LostProphet

LostProphet lay on his back, in a pool of his own blood. His right leg was twisted savagely underneath him, his arms broken in five places. He repeatedly tried to move but only succeeded in spreading the blood further over his brown duster...

Hmm, well I just can't see the point. Flood is a contact, gives out missions but also does things in the Matrix. Gray is a contact, ditto Tyndall is a contact but actually can do nothing in the Matrix. As far as I see it, there wouldn't be...

nVidia and ATi are only just bringing swappable laptop graphics cards to the table, I don't know how far they've been implemented into laptops yet though. If you're buying a laptop with the intention of gaming you really need to buy the ab...

Tried out the 'blur, erase, merge!' technique on the building, I don't think it's quite as seamless as it could be but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! Used curves to enhance the deep colours, then Linear Burned (or was it Color Bu...

Yay for feedback! I put this in the main NR as well ... this could get confusing :-/ Good point about the spartan lifestyle. That makes more sense than having a plush, comfy living area now I think about it. I don't think that machine expe...

Seeing as nobody is posting in Recursion atm, this probably should've been in here in the first place. Having played a Zionist for the last 10 months, I'm well used to slumming it on an overworked, under-resourced Hovercraft, or raving in...

I also found that playing around with Curves could create some really interesting colour hues. The Curves applet defaults to RGB, but you can pick out Green on its own and fiddle around with the curve to create some really pronounced green...

Yeah, it's nothing at all to do with graphics card, RAM, etc. Maybe the processor but only in small part. It seems that whenever you take a screenshot, it counts through to find out what the last number was in order to add the next one. Th...

I love it when others debase themselves for my enjoyment

I'm pretty sure that guy with the bloody nose wasn't Anome. He was the one who says "They're lying Niobe!" about the Agents. Anyway, Tyndall can't jack into the Matrix and the email system is supposedly Matrix-only, so she could never read...

Hahaha, blows the "Vector 400 club" out of the water

Wow, good post Esky. The only thing I've found to code that makes money (on Vector) is Tac Booster 4.0s I've made a truckload of $info on those so far (maybe about 70 million) and I've only been doing it on and off for the last couple of m...

I think they want suggestions (wide ranging suggestions such as these covering a lot of points) in the forums so that we can bounce ideas off each other and refine them. But I'd say if you come up with something whilst using an item/abilit...

Thanks for the positive feedback I like the mockup of the combat rolls, though I'm not 100% sure how well they'd work. Would it still be too small? I guess we won't know until someone actually tries it out on the game! Another thing I mean...

First off, I know that I'm probably about to repeat what people have already said, but it does bear repeating. These guys need feedback if they're gonna make CR2.0 a success. Secondly, I've only played briefly with the CR and only with Kun...

If you do get one, be careful how you activate it too. Double-clicking mine made me crash, but right-click and choosing Activate worked fine.

Thanks Gray was the one I wondered about the most, totally forgot that bit.

I thought of the 'lone wolf' idea. But what if an Agent isn't needed for weeks at a time? Unusual as it may be, it's entirely possible. You can only explain away so much, and weeks of missing memory would start to get to me after a while!!...

This may be moved into Storyline, but I figured this forum might get a bit more traffic. Simply put - where do Agents go? They aren't needed all of the time. When they are required, they take over the body of a person nearest the disturban...

The Grab tactic used to be called throw way back in early beta didn't it? Green attack = grab attack which, with some MA styles, is a throw attack.

"Ability Description TBD" I've seen this in a few screenshots. Does this mean that some abilities currently have NO defined use? Or is it just that the decription hasn't been written yet and you know exactly what it will do? Reason I ask i...

I love the idea of props. Standing around chillin' with a beer in my hand would be cool, and for my alt, a sexy pose with a martini glass is also great I don't subscribe to the "People will do it if it's in MxO". The funny thing is most of...

[EDIT] Ah, forget it. I just realised I accidentally came onto the Vector boards, force of habit I guess. Unoriginality, overusage of CAPS lock, angry-kid syndrome. I should've realised. Message Edited by [CoZ]LostProphet on 01-04-2006 03:...

I want to send info to other servers. Not so fussed on items, though that would be nice, but info is a must. Since live I've been on Vector but have just started on Recursion. I started an alt on Vector, and whilst I didn't *need* the info...

Toxic's got a point - I will be showing up with rezzing/healing abilities just in case there's any trouble, and it would be cool if a machinist and merovingian could show up with the same, what with the whole "you cannot heal hostile playe...

Goodgood This one's at a much more reasonable hour for us Brits/Europeans, but it'll hopefully go on late enough to bring in some US players too. And what with a lot of people off school/university for the Christmas break now, there's no e...

Part 1 [Entrapment] Part 2 [Conditioning] (in progress)

Putting a question out there in the hope someone will think it worthy enough to re-ask. Are devs/designers thinking about making changes to the coding system to allow colour-customisable clothing? I don't wanna know if it's slated for rele...

My Google-fu may have led me down the wrong path, but quaternions are to do with physics, right?

Welcome to the mad house Nice to see our dev team (slowly) getting involved more.

I'm impressed Can't say I'm keen on the "overconfidant smirks" bit, but I guess we all see the other side in a different light Not sure about the characterisation of Bonopi though, seems a bit far off.

This should be a great party Let's hope we can all put our differences aside for the sake of one night and get into the holiday spirit

WRT to clothing again and Chuui's point. I may be way off base, but can't they just alter stats of an item by updating our client-side code with new descriptions and then change the actual effects on our characters server-side in the datab...

IME enraged doesn't even work anymore. There's nothing to keep a player in interlock, which blows.

To the Original Poster, I have some bottled oxygen that I'd like to sell to you. In fact, I'll send over an entire crate of the stuff, MINUS the bottles, which means you get even MORE of the oxygen! It'll only cost you $1500 USD, and the c...

Cryptography was disabled just before the game went live, with a statement (now long gone with the forums) from Walrus to that effect. Basically they just hadn't had time to finish it/make it have a decent purpose. I used the tool on a clo...

There's limits to how much bullet time you can have. When you perform a bullet time move in interlock, to everyone else it appears as though you're moving rapidly. If you tried to add bullet time outside of interlock, you'd have to slow do...

Walrus announced it as a very-much work in progress. He probably regrets it now, as so many people are screaming for it. He has said that when it was created and part-way through being balanced, they were working to the current combat mode...

That's a pretty cool idea, although the whole point of the innovative new combat system that MxO has over other MMOs would be lost then, as you'd see none of it. I don't agree with the effects for hacker goggles, etc., as some people wear...

Neo dodged bullets because he bent the rules of the Matrix. He flew because he *broke* the rule of gravity. We can bend rules, we can break others, we can't break gravity.

So far as I can see it: The game is fundamentally flawed (ironically) in several areas where other MMOs are strong. New-player-progressing, balance items and combat, etc. Monolith took this path and had only the resources to plow ahead wit...

I once came up with another idea for the Matrix and its usefulness. The idea was discounted fairly quickly but I believe it poses a nice solution to what is somewhat of a plot hole. The human brain is more advanced than any computer, at le...

Hyperspeed is pretty cool, but I think it's a novelty that will wear off. IMHO Hyperspeed should just make me run faster and that's it. If I want to see whether its running or not there's a handy little icon under the hotbar that tells you...

Wiz posted this on the CoZ boards. I'd be very interested in this

I've often regretted the decision to move to a Hostile server. Come live, nobody knew what Hostile meant. I - from the description we were given - assumed all servers would be the same (optional PvP) until the truce "broke down" in Monolit...

I was contacted by Morpheus and asked to arrange a meeting with him in early live. I was so stoked. We had another meeting after that when I wasn't online. I'm aware it was all scripted, but we felt special. Then we never heard anything el...

p.s. do you think the dev team have full acces to their let accounts and setup from their home? that would be a great solution for both them and us. if they have any spare time and just feel like playin MxO they can log in as a LET member...

I rarely PvP unless I have to because there is absolutely no point to it.
