Sugar Shack 21: Making QA Live Up To Its Potential

As Walrus pointed out in locking a recent thread, CR2.0 is not the only thing to be tested on the QA server. This came as a surprise to me, even though I am not a PvPer at all. But it makes me wonder if there is a perception gap, or a gulf...

Ask the devs an MXO question

I have one question and one observation. Will the QA server continue to remain available after the release of the new combat system? So many things would benefit from this, like detecting the unexpected decay issues. I feel like it would b...

Are These Items Useless?

Maybe I am missing something, but some items seem just totally useless. Has anyone here ever used Holy Water against a Succubus or anyone else? Has anyone ever used a Stake against a foe rather than a Devastation Field, Code Nuke, or Bulld...

The Year in Review

Mindful of my first complete year in MxO, I thought I would share some reflections. I am so grateful to Sattakan, FAE, and everyone who listened to me ramble during my interview to join The Collective. And to the Council Members of that di...

Sugar Shack 14: Mission Reviews: The Weaver and Her Tangled Web

After getting so sucked into Hypatia’s book-lined world last week, I wanted something more detached and less emotional, and sought it in Weaver, who may be found at South Vauxton (-1377, 1, -781). The Weaver has business dealings with the...

Sugar Shack 12: Blast from the Past: My Scariest Encounter Ever

My Scariest Encounter Ever The creepiest mission contact, bar none, is The Coroner, last seen downtown near BaldwinHeights. And why is he creepy, you ask? Most exiles want money or power or intel, things we can all understand and empathize...

Sugar Shack 11: Mission Reviews: The Coroner: Grave Undertakings

The Coroner In past mishes I worked with gangsters and two-timers. With cold-hearted killers and hot-blooded flirts. But nothing prepared me for The Coroner. He stands out on the street in BaldwinHeights (-179/19/433) waiting for you to do...

Sugar Shack 10: Exile Mission Reviews: Argon: Bland Bane of two Girls

Argon is located near a bar on one of the upper floors of Club Duality, in Kedemoth (587/181/-913). Sugar Shack readers know him well, from my reports on the mish suites for Beryl (his girlfriend) and Anti-M (his rival), but when I approac...

SugarShack 08 Mission Reviews: Lotus!!!

Long, long before my turn at beta ever came up, I used to peruse the MxO site regularly, studying every word that Tyndall wrote about Megacity and its inhabitants. I longed to learn more of the Library and its books that would open portals...

Sugar Shack 09: Reflections on QA: Where Can We Go Now?

For more than a year now I have played MxO, through various builds, character wipes, and twists and turns. Two things have struck me about the QA (quality assurance) evolution of the game: it has not evolved, and it is not effective. Fortu...

Update 38 Discussion Thread

I'm kind of baffled about the item decay. Walrus confirms accelerated decay rates in items from Richland and Westview, but people are experiencing accelerated decay in items which are _not_ from those areas. QA in others areas obviously le...
