Shinryu

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays to all!!! As for playing MxO on xmas.. I see nothing wrong with that (of couse, I have to say that because I might be doing it if I have a spare moment or two hehehe )

I've gotta agree with Collbard on this one. Sure it's possible to jump from hardline to hardline, but it's still an unnecessary pain in the butt when it's info that really should be in the atlas. I like the threat level indication we curre...

If you turn your weather details setting down, it should help with that.

So.. anyone pick up the new Bladerunner Collector's Edition? If so, what are your thoughts?

Welcome back

Thanks for all the positive commentary " width="15" height="15" /> .. oh, and feel free to keep it coming hehe Of course, most of the thanks really should go to Virrago. I just answered the questions I was given and had a great time doing...

Weirdness... I can't say I've ever heard of that happening before. Good to hear it was only temporary though.

Very cool effect... more like a painting than a screen shot. Mine is just something quick I threw together for the winter event... though I'll probably come up with something more intensive when I have a little more time to think about it.

My current thoughts on the patch: - the ladies winter clothes are awesome, and the fact that you can wear jackets over top of them means they'll get steady wear for the whole year as parts of various outfits. - the guys clothes are, well,...

(( Probably my favorite mission title ever... let's just hope the mission lives up to it ))

Other than CC, I've used all of those programs and definitely support their recommendation.

Getting all the stuff I want will take a while.. but I want to start now! I can't wait any longer!

An interesting dilemma to say the least... I hope no one is truly surprised that the next iteration of the Matrix has been planned likely for some time now, even if the Machines hoped to never have it reach the point where it was deemed ne...

Thanks much, everyone... even you, Rare hehe Yeah, I was thinking it was along the lines of what Pyraci did.. basically the common method for rain but with less motion.

Another tip for missioning no matter what your load is, it's a very good idea to have Hyper Dodge and Hyper Deflect running at all times (and, of course, fully levelled to whatever level you are). You can also have Hyper Block loaded and a...

Void just did an image with a very nice looking snow effect, and I know there were several posted last year as well (as well as tutorials, IIRC). Would someone mind posting a tutorial or re-posting one of the old ones?

It's nice to see Gray and Pace actually admitting that they are keeping something from even loyal Machinist operatives... though it doesn't make it any more a positive situation. Of course, there are always those listening who would misuse...

.. just got home from work and had another look at them... yeah, still extremely nice

*CENSORED* nice. Not sure about the "sleeves" but I definitely don't hate them. Lots of ladies still waiting on the white boots though hehehe But, a major thumbs up for Rare on this one

While progress was little, it was still in evidence. Speaking with this Intruder is perhaps beginning to open doors that pointless hostility has not. Good work to those Machinists who attempted contact. In the end, I believe your efforts w...

How about the old formal wear becomes decompilable this year but the new stuff isn't?

The shoes are cool, if not unexpected, but I'm really not sure when I'll ever wear white shoes. The coats, however, do absolutely nothing for me. I've never worn a boucher and these won't make me want to start. Of course, I'll probably col...

That's a negative. The bonus mission is not included. Oh, and it's not a rumour. It does actually exist but was only accesible to those who had more than 100 Machine rep.

I'm a little annoyed by the Double Click change as well. I usually do use other means to initiate combat, but once in a while I find myself double clicking. It's a change I'll get used to soon enough, but it is annoying at the moment anywa...

And of course we'll get blamed even though he was given more than ample warning *sighs* Excellent work.

(( too bad I couldn't be on for this, it looked like a riot ))

Pretty much all of my thoughts have already been posted by others, but in a nutshell: Wow, it's big... too big, IMO. Having it on a timer is kind of silly, but at the same time, as Vinia's said, if it wasn't half of the population would be...

The male suit is as expected.. and is as boring as expected hehe I'll probably get one eventually just because, but I won't be jacking in this second to start. The female blouse/blazer combo is.. interesting. My concern is finding good pan...

(( Hehehe gotta love the "cannot fight while dead" pic ))

For a task that first seemed very straight forward, it certainly ended up raising more questions than it answered.. While I've come to expect a lack of explanation from those in command, I am certainly hoping we get one this time.

Sounds simple enough... *chuckles*

Very very nice... not sure I'll grind for it, at least with my main as I already have the red and love it quite a bit, but it's a beauty of a coat none the less.

(( the only upside I can see to missing this event.. again, is that I didn't have to think of what costume I wanted right on the spot like that. ))

(( /thumbsup for the accent. ))

I was thinking the same thing, Proc, though all I've got for my pumpkin farming so far is the same old costumes as last year and the one before.. though I really just want the Apothecary at this point anyway.

I've heard Trainman as well, though not a concrete confirmation on how to get it.

See topic Just curious if anyone has compiled a list yet, particularly for this years costumes and where they can be collected (from the Jack O Lantern spawns or Zombie pawns or both).

Yeah, that is true, but we still need space for the arc tickets and tokens at the end of it all anyway... plus we already do get reward items at the end of completing crits.

I'd say the Smith in Flames is definitely a possibility for a costume, and might even be one of the final 2 costumes for this year.

I didn't think I'd ever hear myself say this, but Cryptos was actually making some sense... and his words aren't too far off what my own may have been had I had a conversation with the simulacrum.

Proc's got a point... enough warnings and time were given, and it's not like the list we can draw from is all encompassing should they want to .. push the issue.

Very nice. Not mindblowing, but very nice. Even though I'm a machinist, I'd take these over an Agent suit anyday. Might just start at the Zion arcs in preparation.

Yeah, I'd like to see the Halloween event even if it comes after Halloween itself.

Yeah... I think that's more realistic than seeing a "new" clothing slot come into play. Though, as someone who almost never wears headgear at all unless I have to for the buffs, I would like to see some way to get the headgear buffs withou...

I've always thought that was more due to the "cloth" of the "trench" than the texture not displaying right.

Excellent work, fellow Machinists. (( And yes, some beautiful screens in this report ))
