Haiku's great power Subtle, evocative words On ANY subject
heh. so much fun when stuck at work and not 'jacked in'... While running some missions, post Beta My team was as sharp as a razor The missions would fly Since we had a spy And we'd save all the looting for later...
Diff'rent streets and crowds Wondering where they all went Old friends from Beta
Geez Fickey! That made the hairs on my scalp stick up straight. It is one thing to remember that sound but it is TOTALLY different to hear it again after all these months.... Where did you get that?!
Totally a good time! I just recently found my old screen shots. I ran out the clock on the top of the Govt bldg in Park East smacking Agents around. I took out one last Agent and leveled JUST as the time came. Ahhh Memories....
The Archivist Broker said to me There's lots up there to do and see Ninjas and Robots And bloodsucking Goths Not to mention the buckets of X.P.
While strolling the streets of the city With alleys and dumpsters quite gritty I encountered a lass She attacked me, with sass And erased me with no bit of pity People say that we Agents are mean Our appearance always causes a scene So I t...
It is great seeing that thought went into naming a lot of your Hovers. I alwys felt the name should be a point of honor. Something that is as important as the people running them. Well Done!
And why did you choose it? I am Captain of the Grand Illusion . The name struck a chord with me (no pun) as the Matrix is, itself, an illusion. It was kind of an homage to the whole idea of the Matrix. It is also the name of that Styx albu...
But wouldn't it be cool if you could use Syphon Data to suck Health Points from an enemy into yourself? MUAHAHAHA Ph3@R the M1n3RZ!
Awesome job people! Via Cell call from Tyndal I was tasked With killing some exiles in masks I went to the target, Killed a succubus harlot And finally levelled at last
Running missions late The Event is long over Are they 'Critical'? heh
There once was a coder named Sarah Who tried making films down at Mara She kept flipping bits But went into fits When PVP lag blurred her camera
"Morpheus" Trinity said "I really hope Neo's not dead "Though things look quite grim "I will see him again "If not in this sequel, then next"
A jumpy machinist named Cleo Had dreams of flying like Neo She leapt to the sky Got swarmed by flies And wound up in a Zionite video
The slow, lonely walks The cold, dark, thankless hours Sad Data Miner...
A pretty young redpill named Caroline Was farming for frags for quite some time She stayed out too late Met an unkind, sad fate And got ganked for her code at the hardline.
Hunger struck quickly Late night dinner in Sai Kung It looks like Nemo
There once was a Redpill named Switch Enduring a peculiar itch Looking out on the city And noting with pity "We humans are living a myth..."
Limericks amuse With ribald glee I go post Another thread here: http://mxoboards.station.sony.com/matrix/board/message?board.id=nextren&message.id=1070
Thanks for the idea, Detrius! The rules for limericks are much more confusing but I think we can let fly. Just follow the flow and the beat. For those that want the exercise, surf here for the 'proper' way to do limericks. http://www.sfu.c...
/tiphat Thanks! I actually didn't get to my Looking Glass until just now. I check my own threads befroe going to the official stuff.
Prowling the streets Diff'rent demons than normal On All Hallow's Eve
Out of the hardline MegaCity is lit by Jack O Lantern glow
Wow. D@mN got bleeped out of my message. <pencils down a note-to-self> I think I would feel better about Agent Pace if it turns out to be some sort of plot against the machines. Some kind of infiltration or ploy that someone was behind. Wh...
**bleep** you Roukan. The thereapy to get me forget about Smurfs was working. It was WORKING! Why was there only one female? WHY WHY????
Watch. We will find out that Pace is an empowered exile, like the Frenchman, that has semi-autonomy. The Machines found out how formidable the Frenchman was and so, want to leverage that power. They create a program that works for them but...
Red Frags are used just like the other code bits but for higher level items. Your best use is that you can trade them in at any Children of the Code member for Abilities, Consumables or super hip clothes in a variety of colors.
Interesting points, all. The crux of the matter with me is that Agent Pace humanizes that which should not be humanized. It borders on condescending. I think I would respond better to contempt than coddling...
Is it just me or does this Agent Pace character rub you the wrong way? (Keep it clean, people) I mean, 'she' seems to dilute the magic that makes Agents, Agents. The aloofness and the logic that were Agent/Machine trademarks are tossed asi...
Thanks, y'all. I was looking at the font and was kinda iffy on it. I liked the Wheel Of Fortune look, though. It amused me.
Finally made one... So...very.....lazt...
It's almost enough to make me lose faith in the viability of Data Mining... :/
Has anyone figured if stats have any effect on the data mining results? I have enough Reason Boosting clothes but I don't see a difference per node. <shrug>
the real life code streams override the matrix ones overtime again
I am SO waiting for the Graphic Novel.
I check my stuff once a week. (or so) It is still in the 'unresolved' status. I don't see it being fixed any time soon....
I am thinking that the Devs clearly had only 3 main 'career choices' when they started out. Guns, Martial Arts and Hacking. You can not, within the scope of the game, being anything else as you main trait. You have to have something to ear...
Lots of good ideas! Though I do like Data Leaks appearing in the middle of traffic. That would explain all the mysterious slowdowns on the highway. People are slowing down to tap for $Info... heh.
Nice one, GW. As much as people complain about how pointless Data Mining is, it is gratifying that there are a few out there that are patient enough to wait to see what changes might come about. It is right up there with waiting to see wha...
Once you get there, Pistol Aerial first for the Stun effect, then Pistol Barrage for powerlessness etc. Pistol Evasive is goo to throw in for the defensive bonuses and the disarm chance. This is all assuming that you are Interlocking. At r...
WeaselGrrl since 8-2004 In the Children of the Code since 10-2004 Yeesh.
I see your point... This comes from being stuck at work rather than playing. I feel so cut off...
falling green code rain birds, sky, streets, redpills, agents all the same to me
So has anyone decomped one yet? I am sadly stuck at work for at least another hour...
According to the Dev Notes, there will be a new item that allows a constant Sixth Sense scan that not only pulls people out of sneak, but drops their Evade Shield and roots them. It is part of the balancing they are doing to bring the Spy...
Like I said, it is the "Not This Way" pill. I can see it working in the short term, though. It all depends on whether it shakes out to be a one-time sweep of negative effects or if it has a short time invulnverability like rolling out of I...
Looks like you can use them as soon as you get hit. One more thing to squeeze onto my HotBar.
heh. See above
From Data Node One: Activity Facilitator Consumables Activity Facilitator 1.0 and 2.0 are now available in game. These new consumable items can be activated at any time (even while stunned or pacified) and will clear all stun and pacify st...
With a little luck, they will be difficulty 20 so I will have a use for my dif-20-only Interfaces...
Blue is Retaliate? I thought GREEN was retaliate... Dxy wrote: ..... So those pants you have that buff Retaliate tactics, those are your blue attacks in interlock with Duelist. So on and so on with Aimed Tactics and Burst Tactics.
Is this still happening?
Swung by last night and had a blast! Thanks to all that made it fun... Where are the screenshots?
the crew is jacked in the Grand Illusion hovers watching data streams
I think that the analogy Walrus made that pre-patch Coding was like getting double your money back is flawed. reference: http://mxoboards.station.sony.com/matrix/board/message?board.id=coder&message.id=66 Think of it more like priming a pu...
I chuckled as well, if it makes you feel better Message Edited by weaselgrrl on 09-07-2005 10:04 AM
Rather than think of it as turning around to the same vendor and getting twice your money back, think of it as priming the pump. You are using your time and skill to create something that facilitates using the Matrix Code Streams. Eventual...
re:unwarranted /kisses My latest fun is activating my SWAT Enforcer disguise when a stranger tries to /kiss me. Kinda ruins the moment for them. :smileyvery-happy: And with the /Loadlo command, I can get those skills loaded real quick.
Good thinking, Zenshin. I am wondering if the ability to grab frags off a data node was another "unadvertised special" As for the advanced data stuff, I got them as loot in missions, then decomped and rewrote them. I seem to recall a vendo...
