Heh, let's hope this one continues a bit longer Sykin. I was a bit disappointed when you gave up on Uprise EDIT: Blasted not-auto-appended sig >.<

Sad and geeky as it is, I would willingly shell out for a real-life beta shirt, or even better a beta-hoodie, to go with my in-game ones

Been this way for ages, although I don't think it's really been bought up properly before. About time it was fixed really

Heh, first time I come back here for a while and I notice that. Great going gus AdSense is notoriously rubbish on forums. I'd be suprised if this made more than a trickle of income for them, especially when the smartpricing kicks in from t...

No. Dear lord god NO! Whatever you do, please, please, don't ever think about implementing anything like this in any context vaguely related to the LET. First up, it is a lot harder to 'program' the AIML structures that you might think. Th...

Originally, I was grabbed by an advert for the beta. The game sounded kinda interesting, so I signed up and was accepted in febuary 2005. I played for a bit and only got up to level 10, but it was the End of Beta event that really grabbed...

*Looks at people stampeding off to Google to Seach 'MxO 2'* Personally, Febuary. That's when my account runs out, and incidentally that's almost exactly my 2-year anniversary. For the game itself, I'd say until Rarebit leaves. After that t...

Hotlink protection FTW

My quick impressions based on a small amount of test data: No regen -> +2 / 3 health per second in IL 20% regen -> +5 health per second in IL 45% regen -> +9 health per second in IL Difference = 6 / 7 HPS IL round = 4 seconds 4 * 7 = 28 he...

Good event, even if the area hacks got annoying, and you could never get near 'im for all the level 52 zombies pulling you into interlock Flit guns don't work on zombies by the way

Mood Aggressive would suit them best I think. That'd make for proper mean HL-esque zombies

I'm trying to decide if they're baby agents or baby zombies. They're sure as hell one or the other, and one of them has a pumpkin face on his shirt

Eh, forget the trannies. Blue rank all the way!

Grenades

Hmm, if it's a singleton and will only drop in the world when the carrier is killed ... then I think that pretty much answers the server slowdown. Especially if it takes 5-10 minutes to get one.

As much as I love the dev team, I wouldn't get too into the whole CTF concept. From my perspective, 'luggables' seem to be a nice addition to the data miner tree, pulling an item out of the code-stream and having to return it to a contact...

Typical, I spend 4/5 months bugging you about making the Patch Sims buff as well as just heal, then it's finally done once I bugger off to university and pretty much stop playing

I've got five to throw around if anyone wants.

Oh dear lord, clunky's back. RUN FOR THE HILLS!

Site5.com. The TGS site and my personal website are hosted there, and I've never had any problems with them. Compared to my last webhost >.<

*Does a happy dance* Whoo, new taskmaster drops, hallways, bug fixes, prop sellers and, most importantly... Emotes (/e [text] command) now work correctly. !!!!1!!!!1!!1111

Oh gawd, Serv is back. Someone shoot me.

Is it just me, or was the most fun people ever had actually over on the test server?

Do you mean WITH the hacker style bug, or without? Soloing under CR1 was fun

*Is getting bored of these topics already* http://www.paulschou.com/tools/xlate/

As the second of my 'I should have written about this ages ago but couldn't be arsed' articles today, I bring you health inhalers. The overlooked counterpart of health pills, it seems that nobody uses them anymore. Still, tell me what's wr...

*Laughs manically* Oh god ... the word 'a5s' was censored in the pic link. And there's no edit function! Whoo! Bug reporting pwnt by your own forum system. Strange that 'Arse' isn't censored really.

This is an animation bug that I, and several dozen other people I suppose, have known about for a long time. However due to the ... err ... frequency which I am coming across it lately, I thought it was about time to make a post about it....

OMG TRINITY! Also, Whoot for pudgy Agent Smith.

I was thinking just the other day how cool a real-life beta shirt would be This is something a lot of people seem to be thinking about lately actually. There's certainly been a few discussions in our faction chat. Ooh, I want black void sh...

Yeah, there are certainly some ghosts in the system. In one way these bugs are amusing, but in another they can get quite scary.

Ooh, we could do with a /laydown emote. The only problem with that is the '*CENSORED* boner' bug. I've been meaning to make a post about that (as well as the health inhaler bugs) but just haven't got round to it. Oh yeah, and we need a /li...

PMed

Sure, I'll PM you one of mine. Still have two avaliable if anyone else wants.

Do not trust the Cypherite OOC: Good faction, if you swing that way

Hell, I'd be happier with PHPBB than this :/

*Sets fire to applications before Rarebit can* TICTACS is the mech liason on Syntax, but I've seen him once in the last two months or so. The curse of the Syntax Machine Liason

Someone start sending him the random e-mails, and I'll be happy to part with one of my trial keys

Oh gawd, don't give an invite to Night or AP whatever you do tax Yeah, this should be interesting. Although I'll probably just trow them at people randomly

Have you not heard of the 'Curse of the Syntax machine liason'? Seriously? And yeah, TICTAC did jack in for a few moments yesterday, but only to check his e-mail by the looks of it.

But there is that handy fist button on the control interface which does the exact same thing. It's just not possible to turn it into a exploitable bot I like the fact these are on the main page now. Maybe we'll get more posts down here.

I know the forums are going down soon, but hopefully this message will get across. Just a repost of a PM that I found the response to rather interesting: Interesting NPC in Zion 1.2.15 In the Zion mission 1.2.15 I've just had an NPC buff m...

Blasted Keith. Temp PvP zones look great by the way

How ... interesting. Rarebit, care to explain how this latest little tidbit managed to slip into live? Looting an assasin's mask from an Elite Guard just ain't right, even if it is one use only and decays as soon as you look at it. *Rememb...

Personally I'm shocked at the lack of dedication shown by our development team for stamping out exploits. Awful, simply awful

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you ... The Unlimit Reactors. Note the green code falling from the eyes, and the description: 'This Redpill oozes unnatural power'

Ahem. Last we heard, the update was scheduled for the 13th. Y'know, NEXT week? *sigh*

Wholly empirical evidence, but what I've seen time after time: You die in interlock, you stay flagged. You die out of interlock, you're fine. It's like there's some flag that's supposed to flip, but when it detects you still fighting an en...

Excellent, it's about time you moved away from this abysmal set-up. Heck, I'd recommend PHPBB over these, at least they have easy to define avatars. And Walrus, please be careful about just what admin powers you give out. Wouldn't want som...

Going to look at the news on Data Node One today, to see if Walrus had sneakily sneaked a looking glass without making a post about it, I was confronted by this: On every single sub-page from that news page. It's like all the content has b...

Hands up all those who saw this coming a mile off... *raises hand*

Overall an interesting looking glass, but I must say I'm disappointed that you didn't even mention the loss of a very highly valued dev. Still, congrats on the sidemotion

Since when has the Looking Glass been purely for new content? It's just another way for the devs to communicate information they think is important, which Walrus has certainly done this week . /twothumbsup

Somehow this 'hotfix' is containing more content than a proper patch 5 months ago. Whoo for CR 2.0 being finished freeing up dev time, 'ey? Good work, especially changing that /bangbang emote text.

100 million? Holy **bleep**. Please tone that down. That would mean I'd have to grind for about a month straight.

Yeah, IMO we certainly need QA back up. Just one little problem I forsee with the Org Specific abilities though: They’ll be earned through each Organization’s graduation missions. We’ll be re-doing the missions, so players who have already...

Hmm, now this is interesting: Comments anyone? I know Karate GM buff is the first to go when someone uses delete upgrades on you and you're not running any buff buffs. It doesn't actually get removed, for reference. But I don't think a Kar...

I felt sorry for you losing your Architect sig due to legal issues, so despite my utter lack of talent, I made you a new one. Who says you need Photoshop? MsPaint works just as well!

If Wally gets time, I'm sure he'd love to do weekly ones. "Tyndal needs you!" That was a brilliant render
