i agree that those MA moves you stated cause a lot of damage. the difference is, we have to be able to get an opponent in IL, where as with MKT and guns, the abilities can be used outside of IL. but i am fine with that. i hate calling for...

Well I just noticed that we set a record for the most users online on the forums on 12/24/06. The previous best had been the day of the Monolith-SOE transition. So, I guess that's some good news. Maybe we have more people still here than e...

Yeh that would absolutely suck if that happened during a duel. It would be an instant win.

Simply one of the most interesting and fun events yet. I loved the figure that showed after the code pulse! Well done Rarebit.

Yeh, MKT doesnt have good viral defense and they are not supposed to be good vs. hacker. MA on the other hand is strong against hacker because we have good viral defense. But, on the flipside, MA is not good against knife throwers. Its all...

I think it would be really cool if they introduced some new clothing articles into the game for this. They dont have to have buffs comparable to archive drops, but maybe slightly better than normal clothes. Oh, and make them only obtainabl...

No Walrus said that they will attack us in this week's OSOTLG

Im curious to find out what Walrus was talking about when he said the corrupted will drop other special items. Hmm, maybe new clothing articles, or subroutines, or high info drops. Whatever it is, i know im excited to kill some "holiday pi...

Well whatever the luggables are in that picture, they were a different color but "changed to white". so in the screenshot they must be something white which is not normally white. Hmmm, could that be the outline of a great giant Christmas...

I love how there is still one of those old "Dont trust the Frenchman" flyers in the screenshot. Ahhh maybe thats why they have still left those pointless flyers in the game, they are the luggables!! lol

Yes I am aware that the rate has been quadrupled fairly recently. And yes i always do my mining in Creston. But I still think it is not high enough. It is far less efficient than grinding missions, which is unfortunate. Thats not even to m...

Yeh hopefully the devs will realize this and change it up some. i definitely like your idea of more rare, but bigger data mines that give much more info, instead of about 100 small, one-tap ones that are really close together.

yeh i definitely like the high info nodes idea. as for afk mining right now, all you would have to do is make a macro of your character walking forward like a half foot, then using data tap, then walk forward another half foot, then use da...

Yeh, its prolly more work than the devs would want to do for data mining, even though it would just have to be a keypad of sorts with the numbers 0-9 on it and nothing really fancy. But yeh it prolly aint gonna happen. Hopefully something...

Yeh i agree. I think the timer should be made shorter on the data tap or make it where you can tap all the data at once from the big ones. That way you wouldnt have to tap them four times to get all the info from them which takes forever....

Very fun event. It will be interesting to see how the Cyphs and Machs will be able to work together.

Um, just a side question if u dont mind answering as well, are there any plans of adding other abilities that grant initiative other than desperation? and could you tell us how much exactly initiative effects your accuracy?

As said in title, looking for a Zion org key at a reasonable price. Post here or send a /tell in-game to DJSPARTAN.

Guys Im tired of all the Syntax/Vector hostilities that currently exist. It is getting to the point of where it is ridiculous, I hope you would all agree. I personally promise to try my best to stay as friendly as I can here on the forums...

Repro, any word on the changes on how the max IS, and IS regen bonuses are going to be "made better". I know you all never said exactly what you were going to change, so you have any update?

It is supposed to be this way, although we are hoping to see this changed soon. The buff say IS regen/max IS BONUS. A bonus means that it applies to an ability that is used. So you would only see that bonus come into play, if you casted an...

Ahh, I just looked at the top of your message where you talked about the mission archive, and didnt see where you asked about the white hallways.

I hate I missed the event, but it looks like you all did a great job!! We will continue to investigate Anome's followers.

Dang, too bad he didnt post a screen of when i took one down to half health then it just disappeared so that i couldnt kill it hehe. but the event was pretty fun, it was enjoyable seeing the EPN get PWNT.

It was a blast fighting with you Ghost!! Too bad Anome was too scared to show himself. At least we showed him what we are capable of. We'll have Niobe back in no time!!

Yay!! i made it in the screens on all 3 servers hehe

It seems as tho this ability is bugged. I dont think it takes into account the initiative bonus. Heres a screen showing it: See it still only gives 10 points although my bonus is at 38%. Message Edited by Spartan1818 on 05.28.2006 08:56 PM
