I hope the stats don't suck 
So it's gonna be all the missions for each org to get one item a peice? That's what this sounds like

Yeah, you know what would be cool? Whenever you get near a bad NPC your hat zaps it for like 300 DMG lol, that would rock =P

Keep in mind that anyone completing all the missions for an Org can earn the rewards--it doesn't matter what Org you work for.
And while a 10% IS regen bonus isn't that big, it's nothing to sniff at--especially for lower-level characters. Oh, did I say that out loud? Don't tell Rarebit. 
Oh, but if it doesn't have resists it isn't wearable. Please make something better than Sakura bandana, I'm so tired of it.
I understand that these items are required to not be very good since any level can get them.

Hmm, as much as I loved the Commando gear, I dont think that just a hat for Zion is good. That's my opinion though, that also makes me concerned for what the Machines and Mervs get. My thought on the reward system was that if you complete all of Chapter 1, you got a specific item from Chatper 1, so on and so forth. I guess I was wrong on that.
Read before you post. Anyone who does the Zion missions gets the hat.

Where's the female version?
Thank you for that useful information Misfit, I already knew that. I was more concerned about the items I was getting when I did the Merv and Machine crits, but Rarebit already answered the question I was asking.
Quote from Rarebit:
There's a reward for each chapter, 1 through 4, and a reward for each
org. So you can do all the missions for a chapter, for instance Zion
3.1-3.3, Merv 3.1-3.3, Machine 3.1-3.3, and turn the tokens in for the
chapter three reward, or you can do all the missions for an org, for
instance Merv 1.1-4.3, and turn those tokens in for the Mervovingian
org reward.
So if you wanted all the chapter rewards AND all the org rewards, you'd have to do the missions twice.

Looks awesome!
Let's see, a reward for every chapter, and then a reward for every org. 4 chapters, 3 orgs...7 rewards total. I can't wait to see what they are!

A quick question, will it be 10% IS regen on all of the items, the way I see it, looks like there will be 7 rewards(one for each org=3, one for each chapter=4), so a 10% IS regen for each type of clothing? Just a guess
Wow, that's pretty cool! Gives a good incentive to finish them all!
At first I thought that was just for Zion, but I am happy that everyone can get it.
I really hope completing the Machinist missions give an earpiece!

7 rewards?
There's 4 chapters and 3 orgs... Hmmmmm.
Isn't that supposed to be 4 x 3 instead of 4 + 3?
I don't know right now though.. I'm confused and can't do math cause.. well.. It's 6 am!
Time to go to bed methinks.
Anyway.. You know what else has 10% IS regen? The Security cap.
Or is that just my tiredness again?
I'm not complaining though... I like hats!
*secretly wishes for a crown* Oh yeah....
I think it's just three rewards, one for completing each Org's archival missions up to Chapter 4.

You get one for completing all of the missions for a chapter for all three orgs (i.e. Zion 1.1-1.3, Machines 1.1-1.3, Merv 1.1-1.3 -- four chapters in total), and one for doing all of the missions for one org (i.e. Zion 1.1-4.3 -- three orgs in total).
- Chapter 1.1-1.3
- Chapter 2.1-2.3
- Chapter 3.1-3.3
- Chapter 4.1-4.3
- Zion 1.1-4.3
- Machines 1.1-4.3
- Merovingian 1.1-4.3

Ah, I see. That's a lot of rewards!
i hope the merv ones a blooddrinker coat :smileyvery-happy:
I require a Pimp cane for the Merv reward.
Though I am really interested in these missions since I never got to see the originals..
More...
- Void
- Void
I'm hoping that all reward items are co-ordinated with one another, so that you can wear a 'reward outfit' rather than having a totally mismatched one.
Looks good, gives a great oppurtunity for those that wish to RP commandos :smileywink:
Can't wait to see the others :smileyhappy:
Any chance Walrus of say posting pics of three different org clothings...not neccessarily from the same chapter :smileytongue:

I'd kill for the General's leather trench.
Zions can keep that hat, not impressed but the Ear Piece for Machines is a must i had this idea when the game first went live and thought it would be awesome
Ear Piece for the win and for machines only
Videopac wrote:Ear Piece for the win and for machines only
Well, from what I have read so far, any player of any org who does the machine missions will get the earpiece.

Is that a 10% bonus to the buffs that don't exist like all the other IS regen bonus gear? If so, I'd point out that 110% of nothing is still nothing.
I want the archive missions for doing the missions and seeing the storyline I missed. If you're going to throw in gear as a bonus, at least don't make it insulting gear.
Haha mervs get Hel Club and Chateau Guard outfits.

All Zion archival missions (through chapter 4)
to me that sounds like you get the reward for completing just the chapter 4 missions....if this is the case then we can expect to see a minimum of 12 rewards
maybe we could get a bonus reward for compleating each orgs chapter. so we get a reward for doing machines, merovingians and zion chapter 1?
but lets wait and see

As far as I've heard you get a reward for each chapter, and if you do all the chapters again, a reward for completing all chapters for that org.
shauntaylor88, I don't think there's any rewards for doing say ALL 3 org's chapter 1s etc.
Yes, there is. You get a reward for completing a full chapter's worth of missions for all three orgs (Chapter reward), and you also get a reward for completing all of the chapters of missions for each org (Org reward).

They should be as follows:
- Chapter 1.1-1.3 (Zion, Machine, & Merv)
- Chapter 2.1-2.3 (Zion, Machine, & Merv)
- Chapter 3.1-3.3 (Zion, Machine, & Merv)
- Chapter 4.1-4.3 (Zion, Machine, & Merv)
- Zion 1.1-4.3
- Machines 1.1-4.3
- Merovingian 1.1-4.3
so, are they backdating rewards?
because i don't get it, if you complete all through till chapter 4...
but the hat looks cool

- Chapter 4.1-4.3 (Zion, Machine, & Merv)
- Zion 1.1-4.3
- Machines 1.1-4.3
- Merovingian 1.1-4.3
but then what happens when they bring out 5's and 6's there be no bonus for doing 1-5 or 1-6 would there as most people would have already done it...
so if they are doing it the way you said i would prefer them todo all orgs chapter mission then they can carry that on easily
The fact we can get the rewards for all orgs is great. Personally I will be doing merv and machine ones first, so I can see exactly how their story progressed, though also the Zion ones I missed.
The hat to be fair Walrus, not exactly the best hat in game, now had you made that a white fedora ...
...Not sure if I missed it skimming, but are these going to be tradeable?
edit: And it's going to have the exact same buff as the Security Hat? And a lesser buff than the Sparkling Fedora? Please, make this a bit more worth the time or have some variation in the special item drops for stuff like this.

I hope not. These should only be obtained by people who do the missions and as a sign of completion.
My assumption is that they are approaching these similar to the security clothes. That they dont want something too uber so that everyone wears it, but something that is still decent enough to merit wearing it.
I hope we get something more than just hats which look like that.
Message Edited by Frink14 on 06.15.2006 03:19 PM
Probably like the Security shirt and hat, I bet most, if not all, of the items will be for novelty. As long as they look unique, they're worth getting to me. I just pray that the Machine reward is something cool like Agent sunglasses or an earpiece...or both! :robotvery-happy:

Well in my opinion, if that is all we get, then I will not be doing the Mission Archieve missions, until we actually get a great item. Seems like we never recieve any great item.
Well since there are several rewards I doubt they will all be hats Can't really judge the rewards until we see em all. This one looks kinda cool, especially if it were used in different outfits.
Can't really judge the rewards until we see em all. This one looks kinda cool, especially if it were used in different outfits.im guessing each item is significent to the relative mission/chapter. (zion general missions = commando hat) so try to work it out, those who have done all the missions....
as for the buffs.....quit complaining there only here for novelty...anymore than that its just another item that will be spreading like wildfire. As for the tradable i think they should be made non-tradeable.

Would make sense for it to be that way, or else why spend the time on it.
I just hope to god that:
- They are tradeable or uploadable - so we can archive them on alts or emails.
- that they dont have a 10 minute reuse timer
- that the stats actually are worth while
Sorry Walrus but
"Let me show my uber red glasses of leatness +5.
They give me +4 To all my stats. And they clash with every set of cloathing I wear, perfect for PvP"
if i am right and you get missions from the past
then what about that morpheus one where you got that insane amount of xp the one where i think it was you get xp where your only 10% away from yuor next level or it sucked and get only 10%..
couldnt someone do that over..and over..and over? and over

Rarebit said that that mission wasnt archived.
how will we get this reward then? after next weeks Critical possibly?
You'll get it as part of the critical mission archive system like mentioned on DN1. This system will be in the update 45 I believe, whenever that comes into live.

I imagine either right before or after the 1'st of july.
How do I get the ear piece, and how can I tell when I am done with one chapter and the other one begins?
