The Other Side of the Looking Glass - February 3, 2006

PS: Since I know someone will ask: The two graphic artifacts in the middle of the screen are due to changes we're making in the hot bar UI. Since our internal XP playtest was the only place I could get a shot of the floor circles, I had to go with what I could get.

Great stuffWalrus! I actually really love that idea for combat feedback, why didnt i think of that? *doh*

Keeps ya eyes on the combat itself and numbers dont really mean that much to me anyway, besides, those who do like to know that sort of thing can check their system chats (tho a seperate battle channel would definatly be nice)

hmm i don't think we have so much a chance to kill tengu one on one, but at least we can hit the *CENSORED*.

what i want to see for the anniversary:  dammit update the main page so new people might actually think this game is still happening!  lol

  Everything looks good guys.   Cept the lack of baseball hats.

 It always feels good when you can see them listen to feedback and they obviously are doing so.

/devhug

"You take #" is the total amount of damage you took that round. "(# absorbed)" is the amount of damage you resisted that round, which is already included in the total. So, when you see a negative number in the parenthesis, it means your Damage Resistance was overcome and you took additional damage that round (still included in the total).

My special Machingun Fist Combo delivers 469 damage yet in system chat I deal 488 damage.

When I finished this NPC off in interlock, the damage dealt in system chat reads zero.

My standard power attack during this volley in interlock was 19 points off the system chat.

The system chat read 2 dmg points above the actual dmg dealt during free fire.

The NPC subtracts 2 dmg points from my total in system chat during free-fire.

I receive no damage, yet the text for damage dealt by NPC is in red during interlock.

oops... I think I get the last one.  I absorbed all his 82hp in his attack.... cool.  8]

Wow, it almost going to be 1year of game play… cant wait… hopefully we get cool clothes… like we got the 3 New Year hats… Well keep up the good work and hopefully see you all on the other side of the looking glass when the party comes…

i notice that walrus is fighting Tengu at lvl 44 in Sakura. and i notice how he is wearing the baseball cap listed in the guide. has anyone ever found the baseball cap?

i just think its quit unfair how things are held back and not put into the game. i think its unfair the rate of drops in the archives. the re-spawn times in hideouts. there isnt any increase in drop rates that i have seen. they might as well release some new enhanched items like all the shades and caps. when the new system takes over the items may turn out to be junk.

people love the clothing and items in this game. and it adds to the experience of the game by finding or aquiring them. when you have worked your butt off to beat Tengu or Gargoyle he wont drop what you want. you have to beat him for hours and hours. and then you level past the limit and never get an item. it really sucks!!  i dont know who has tighter pockets, Tengu or the Devs....

Well ya did it again... I never even gave a second thought to the interlock dancemove cirlces for interlock tohit feedback. still no number outward cept for systemchat. Making a combat channel in the chat windows might be nice. Somewhere that we can review our last battles.

I have one concern which needs to be addressed. The issue is similar to the codeflow that rises from npcs that are lootable, which has been fixed, so i dont think this will be hard to do. But these interlock footpedals we have now, they seem to get stuck lingering during and after interlock sometimes. and often after our toon drops in a duel, our circle is still there, pointing towards our opponents last position. A \bug has been done, but I just want to mention it again on this thread.

P.S. Awesome movement in CR2.0 Lets give the devs a hand for their effort

Oh by the way, I thought I'd point something out.  I fear the insanely intense focus on CR2.0 is being made at the expense of live server stability.  I've crashed at least 20-30 times in the past few days.  Yes, I fill out crash reports and /ccrs.  My mates are having the same problems.  Someone explain to me the point of playing a game that crashes every 5-10 minutes.  It reminds me of the saying that the definition of insanity is to continue to make the same mistake over and over again but expecting a different result.  I always get the same result...a nice fat crash....and I am not insane enough to keep wasting time on a bugged-to-the-point-of unplayability game.

Mark my words.  I'm going to take a break from this game for a short while to see if the stability improves.  When I get back, if the stability hasn't improved, you have lost another customer.  One who has been a loyal player and loyal member of the MxO community since Beta (November 2004).

So is this spose to happen?  It's rare in interlock, but in free fire there's almost always a 2 or 1 point difference between the system chat and what is stated on the character.  Your first free-fire is generally good with the damage dealt, it's the second one and so on.

Walrus, this item with the NPCs using weapons that they do not have or abilities that
use weapons that they do not have has been going on for quite a while.  I reported this
bug ages ago, and it seemed to of been fixed, but it came back and I reported it again
and never heard anything about it.  This was on the normal servers before the CR 2.0 was
even thought of.

I´d like to thank the Dev. team for their great work on the CU2.0

I do have some things that I feel need to be adressed

*The Overall understanding on what is happening in Interlock has dropped to a minimal
compared to the old Interlock

*this is not a CU2.0 Issue but here it comes. Myself as many other MxO players are die hard fans of the franchise. The reason we still stick with this game is because of the tight knit community that we have.
I would like to state this, I truly hope you will add way more content into the game (endgame, contested areas, construct and more) otherwise I feel this game will fail in the end.

Dev team and players.
Nothing but love for u all.

Peace in 2006 and the future

Oar sez: The reason for the discrepancy is that you're finishing these opponents off. The chat text is showing the total amount of damage you're doing, but the effect only shows how much it took to kill your opponent--nothing over the amount it takes to kill your opponent will show in the damage effect.

---

Oh yeah, I've seen that before, but this is different  In those pictures I posted, the NPC is not dying.  They die two or three hits later.  The damage on the system chat is not synced with the actual damage dealt.  The NPC hits just fine... its my free-fire and some moves in interlock that don't damage correctly.

I'll make a movie of it if you don't believe me.
