Site Update: 4/23/2006 Changed links to point to the All-New Data Node One! :smileyvery-happy: Updated Veil of Cryptos links through Chapter 4.2. Added Taranima's Intel and Battle of the Bands links to the Blue Sky page. Added front page l...

Yeah, baby! :smileyvery-happy: Time to work!

I just sent NoRepro a PM on this, per his invitation , so we should get an answer at some point.

That's the question: Is this side-effect intended or even allowed? Given that the cost of upgrading new abilities is quite high, the devs may have had this in mind, or at least let it pass, but I can't speak for them. Buy-back of any abili...

I was wrong. Level 50 abils sell for 1.25 mil each, not 700K. Need I say more?

As far as I can see, there is no "Detect Traps" ability, although there is an item. Also, I *think* the Zen Master abilities are below. Can anyone confirm both things? Thanks. Zen Master Abils: Balance Purity SpinningFlower SweepTheFloor T...

Ah, I thought you might have accidentally deleted your screenshots trying to do this. *Asterisks* confuse me. :smileytongue:

This happened to me a lot tonight during missions. An Aikido NPC was doing it to me the most.

Uhh... sorry?

Don't you hate it when you find the perfect moment for a screenshot, press F12, then your computer freezes for 30 seconds while MxO saves the shot? This usually only happens on the first shot in game, but it is still annoying. I finally fo...

Given the current controversy about bans, I thought I would ask if this will be considered an exploit before trying it. The impending hotfix will temporarily raise red frag drops and vendors will buy-back abilities at 100% of the price . I...

In-game emails will no longer be automatically deleted from the system. (If you can't see all of yours, it's because you are a pack rat and never delete your old emails.) Just to clarify, does this mean that emails will *never* be automati...

I step outside to find another antidote -- blue skies. Not the stuff of the little girl. No, these are much more vivid. As I stare up, the nostalgia is replaced with feelings of awe and a sense of calm. Surely, I must be dreaming. The Mach...

I didn't notice a Physician Upgrade title buff. Am I blind, or should I just use the Doctor Upgrade? Also, I used to be able to load up Physician and Upgrade Master in 1.0. Is this still possible?

The new liaison is Banshae.

Great. The one night I don't log in and something happens. :smileytongue: This new liaison got a name?

Awesome guide Symmetric! 10 stars for you! I'm going to send all CR2.0 detractors here. :smileyhappy:

Gamespot has a small article about CR2.0. It is currently listed on the front page. Maybe some new (or old) players will see it and check it out. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/matrixonline/news.html?sid=6146755

Based on the issues people are having, I'm betting we are still in mid-patch. Maybe they opened the servers to do a stability test before dumping the whole thing on us? Time to show some patience *twitch, twitch*. :smileytongue:

As a software developer myself, I know what a HUGE milestone it is to get CR 2.0 out the door. Well, you did it. I'm sure you won't have that collective sigh of relief for a least a few days after the Anniversary Event. In the meantime, gr...

I just logged in with the 13MB patch. I have the dual hotbars and the RSI hack, but it makes me nervous. I'm sure that's not everything, right?

I have to take that "too easy" part back. QA makes you start over with missions, and I guess those first few missions are exceptionally easy. To test my multiple NPC statement, I took my level-8 bad-*CENSORED* down to a group of Furies. It...

I started a new alt on Recursion recently, and I've been trying to level up using Spy abilities. As many of you already know, it's **bleep** near impossible to win in interlock on hard (maybe even medium) missions. I'm happy to say this is...

You guys deserve some sleep . Great job! I can't wait to see what comes next.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY EVERYONE! :smileyvery-happy:

Yes, thank you devs for all the hard work on CR 2.0 and everything else over the past year. It's been a rocky road to be sure, but I'm looking forward to what's coming next. :smileyhappy:

Yo !

The NVidia drivers are now easier to install with Tweakerizer . I didn't notice a major difference, but it may have given my FPS a little boost on Highest Detail. Besides, I think my main bottleneck for that setting is RAM (1GB). YMMV.

Yo !

What a great movie! I saw it in IMAX last night, which was a bit overwhelming at first for a dialogue-heavy movie, but I got used to it and enjoyed the experience. Natalie Portman did an excellent job and put out some emotional performance...

Agreed, although isn't cast time always 4 seconds in interlock (I could be wrong)? They would have to come up with a way to show both in and out of interlock.

Remember we're talking about Damage Per Second, so the cast time should be taken into account. For example, Logic Cannon 2.0 has lower DPS than Logic Barrage 4.0, but it does more damage in one hit because it takes so long to cast. How lon...

In Dev Journal 01 , the following was stated about spies: Spies I’ve also been working on revising the Spy tree. There are multiple parts to the revision, which will be rolled out in phases. The first part involves timed interaction with g...

I just checked and Direct Fire now uses 50 IS and gives 35 DPS (not bad). Supposedly, melee free-fire is more likely to cause a state (dazed/staggered/off-balance) than in interlock, but I don't know if that also applies to ranged free-fir...

I'm not sure, but I think they lowered the IS for that ability in Update 9. I think it's around 65 now, but I'll check for sure tonight. I haven't had much trouble causing dazed against NPCs. The hardest part about pulling that move off ou...

I'm still getting used to the new damage numbers, but I'm wondering if SMG abilities are causing too much. Against Lt. Morales (yellow-con), Controlled Burst does about 450 dmg and Full Auto Redux does almost 1500 dmg. Does this sound righ...

I didn't realize Hybrids were a problem in the existing system. I remember at one point having Karate and KungFu loaded at the same time would give you uber melee dmg, but that was fixed and I assumed the others were too. Anyway, I don't l...

My first duel in CR 2.0 was in Update 5 or 6. It was against a level 38 (I'm 50) and he pwned me. How embarrassing. It didn't take long to realize that combat has changed completely. Take everything you've learned about combat in the past...
