Do you think we could finally get some clarification on exactly which characters will get the beta caps? Rarebit thinks that only /copychar'd characters will get them, but what about people who made brand new characters on QA that don't respond to any on the live server? Aren't they going to get a cap for the hours that they put in?
#10300002943 03/24/2006 18:36:55 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
I'm so excited! and tired... (3:30 am)

#10300002944 03/24/2006 18:37:15 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
I can't wait for it to go live either. But I do hope you try to keep the EP server nice and insane - better bribe than any cap!
Here's to the future! In which, in a future update, you reveal just who or what the Grey Marshmellow contact is! I must know! :smileyvery-happy:

How exactly are the Beta caps going to be given?

1 year in MxO. Seems like yesterday... kinda.

But yeah, I'm gonna miss the event too, except the finale. Unless they run the events in the morning or nighttime CST. :O

Mm... 2.0
The combat system where I can wear sexy clothes, and still kill you.
Not to mention I'll be getting my new eyes.
Farewell, Ray Charles glasses.

I like what I see in CR 2.0, Now I just need to learn it hehe.

Make sure you vote for MxO in the Wasabi Awards! Your vote counts now show the web how much you love this amazing game!
#10300002961 03/24/2006 23:48:56 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006

I am concerned about the possible slaughterhouse effect on non-CR2 pros who are on Vector.  Are there any plans, I wonder, to migrate characters again who want to opt out of PvP to a non-hostile server?

I have a small handle on this new system....but I may have to run around like a level 16 n00blet for a while.

#10300002962 03/25/2006 01:09:29 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
1 year - wow. I think if I told you guys my /play time you'd think I am an even bigger loser than you already think I am. SMILEY

Question : As far as I remember you said once that when CR2 goes live we will have all the money back in our inventory that it took to level our abilities and we will have to "re-level" them. So while you're at it - why not give us the money for Zen Master back as well?
#10300002963 03/25/2006 01:16:18 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
Great work Devs + Team! its been a haul getting this new combat to where we truly understand its potential, and it pwns current system SMILEY
Im just as excited to see this hit live now, and look forward to what we have coming up further down the line now SMILEY
#10300002964 03/25/2006 01:54:32 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
Excellent. I honestly can't wait. I went over to the live servers for 5 minutes yesterday ... stun, stun, code shock, despoiled, bottlenecked, ganked. I gave up in 5 minutes and around 20 deaths.

Can't wait :smileyvery-happy:
#10300002965 03/25/2006 01:56:34 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
Once again keep up the GREAT work but i too would like to know whether we will be getting our money back for abilites cos then i can get my money back from data miner and other unwanted stuff.

Yah, I'm confused on this as well. What qualifies getting a cap, just logging into QA, or actually testing it? I assume to keep it simple any live characters who /copychar and log in will receive one?
#10300002974 03/25/2006 12:07:25 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006

I'm glad all this CR2 brouhaha is over with.  Personally, I was never a fan of the idea to begin with, but....... 

The good news is.......now we can get to the good stuff.....more content!!!  Woot!!!!!

#10300002975 03/25/2006 14:47:53 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
So will we loase all our abs? plz tell me no plz plz plz
#10300002976 03/25/2006 17:05:39 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006

Well when I logged after another /chopychar yesterday, I had nothing loaded, not even Awakened, which made for some real fun.  In the old days you could walk around without Awakened loaded and lose fights to Blackwood Goofs at 50 (they would just never end cause you would always roll in the teens).

Thats why I say on day one we have Naked Unawakened fights!  Test your Bluepill mettle!!

#10300002977 03/25/2006 18:09:01 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
It's been a pleasure watching this game evolve.

Now we await for you to do the honors... Let us continue!

#10300002978 03/25/2006 20:18:14 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
I cant wait to see this, finally something new has come to this game is great. I wanted to know what happends when I got items in email will I lose anything or will it stay in there because I dont have enough room for it in my inventory? also after are first RSI hack for attributes will we get to have a mission or item vendor to get them from? thanks so much for this change and goodluck hope we have a lot of live events from all this too
#10300002979 03/26/2006 00:43:00 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
Happy Anniversary, MxO.  It's been a hell of a year.  SMILEY
#10300002980 03/26/2006 15:45:17 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
I'm confused.... why do you have Brooklyn in your sights?!
#10300002982 03/26/2006 18:04:34 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006

"No Sleep Till Brooklyn" (Beastie Boys song)

That's my guess

#10300002983 03/27/2006 00:21:57 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006

So my hope that I'm gonna jack in on Wednesday to find that this whole CR2.0 thing was a April fools joke is a vain one.

You're really going to do this to us, your loyal wage-payers, it's not just a big wind-up?

Thought of appyling for jobs in the British governemt guys?

We never asked for ID cards either, but we're gonna get 'em.

PS. Just so I'm specific about this: It's the manually switching trees during combat that really, really annoys me, I mean, please listen. Nobody I've spoken to can even believe this, let alone think it's a good idea.

Ah well, keep paying, keep playing anyway. (The Great British apathy, gotta love it).

Oh, I can't wait to have all my enhanced cloths to become useless. I can't wait to use that RSI hack only to find out I picked the wrong stuff and there is no way to change it. So if you are new to cr2.0 you will soon find out that you have only one guess at your attributes and then you are stuck with them. Guess you should have played on test server. I also can't wait to see MA is the only tree left worth having, as the hacker days are gonna be over and easy leveling and farming will be a thing of the past. I can't wait to have two task bars and not one. I can't wait for the complaints to roll in on this. I can't wait for the devs to finally stop working on this and get back to the RPG of the game. Finally they can concentrate on bringing us events instead of tweaking a new combat system for 8 months. I can't wait to see how far down the rabbit hole this goes. Half of me is looking forward to it and the other half dreads how much, once again, the devs are gonna take away from us. Will more players come back or will they leave? Heard they ruined SWG. Hope that doesn't happen here.
#10300002985 03/27/2006 05:00:40 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006

It's nice to see some non-fanboi "OMG!!!111!!   I <3 C.R.2 SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!11111  I CANT WAIT I CNAT WAIT I CANT WAITT!!!!" posts for a change.

SOE, this is your baby you threw in the the pool.  Sink or swim!

How long are the Cryptos bosses going to stay? Are they to be reset tomorrow?
#10300002998 03/28/2006 23:15:57 Re: The Other Side of the Looking Glass - Friday, March 24, 2006
For the record yes I am a returning player coming back to see if Sony has cleaned up some of Monoliths mess.

I played in Beta and gave up on the game a few months after it went retail.

The changes being introduced were necessary to balance and improve gameplay. Hopefully they will be enough for me to want to stick around.
