#36300189174 03/16/2007 12:15:25 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
Cool stuff.

I wish the images worked, though.  SMILEY

Hrm. They look fine to me and so do their links. <sigh> Probably another issue with being internal versus external to the server. I'll push them again. SMILEY
#36300189188 03/16/2007 12:36:32 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
Can't see either of the pics SMILEY
Is the link right?
#36300189189 03/16/2007 12:36:50 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
The images work for me in IE, but not in Firefox.
#36300189191 03/16/2007 12:37:55 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007

I can see both the images..again, using IE from work.

Nice looking glass, everything looks pretty promising.

#36300189192 03/16/2007 12:42:00 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
yep, IE all the way. firefox fails miserably with regards the images :S

also - please god, let one of the t-shirts say "Relax" or "Choose Life".

I'll lol in my pants if they do.
#36300189194 03/16/2007 12:43:53 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
Oh, yeah, IE works. That picture wasn't as exciting as I...but wait...why are you spying on us? O_o

Eh, well, good to have new shirt stuff...that look like nothing but black shirts with words on them (but hey, shirts with a message on them, eh?)... and a pic of mine truly in there. There's a good plus. :p

And, above all else, Downtown lag fix is a must have. I'm tired of having to run through three districts to get somewhere because half of Downtown's hardlines refuse to work anymore.

Also, Frankie says "Relax".
#36300189195 03/16/2007 12:44:08 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
Argh, i don't have IE on my desktop anymore.  Maybe someone could resave and link them for us with only Firefox? SMILEY

Dracomet should get whatever seat he wants.  Neat shirts, but I gotta say there is starting to be wayyy too much collectible stuff that can not be decompiled.

That's why we need a paged email feature. The 50 messages limit it's a bad thing with a collection like this (Wow 10 new items at least!).

Edit: I thought Walrus said last buddy trial that people who give out all 10 of their buddy keys will get something? I gave a total of 110 out, and nothing SMILEY

I did that, but when it didn't work I removed the players/ bit. I'm just clever that way. SMILEY

I know the troops in th gov't building would follow lowbies up the elevator but couldn't enter the mission area. It was a pain the the you-know-what finding them and killing them.

Can't wait to see the other 8 shirts. Of course now we are going to ask you for more inventory space and available e-mail inbox space. Amazing how 50 isn't enough.

#36300189329 03/16/2007 17:18:24 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
I have a small request...

Please, please, please, please, for the love of God (or whatever higher power you may or may not believe in), make these shirts decompilable! We're running out of precious inventory space as it is.

QFE! Either that or let us put them in our Code Archive.
#36300189339 03/16/2007 17:46:29 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
So downtown lag is caused by a pathfinding glitch. Does that mean this fix will stop NPCs from leaving the mish area also?

It's kind of funny to watch The Oracle's bodyguards leave her apartment SMILEY

#36300189611 03/17/2007 02:58:48 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007

Need.. more... email viewing space.

Or multiple attachments - whatever comes first. lol.

But yeah, nice LG, i always smile a little when i see the scroll bar get small SMILEY

buuuut just to repeat myself, at the risk of being annoying, there are some serious issues to be looked abotu before the next 'real' trial.

Namely,

To extend the uriah trail, update the I npcs, get some level activated info filled messages boxes, update the in-game manual, get the website 'guide' actually online...

SMILEY

#36300189648 03/17/2007 04:59:13 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007

I can see that the shirts are a special item and noly for the event so it would make sense not to have them decompilable, however there is the issue of inventory space. Paged email would fix this and other issues with the current email system btw.

I always wondered about the NPC path finding, I wonder Walrus, would this fix for the DT lag also fix the NPC's from leaving the mission areas and going to the 0 0 0 coords? And now that I know about the /feedback system (not sure if mxo has some of those features listed in the petition news) I will be leaving some feedback about the game that I wanted in game for awhile, including boxers for mave.

No mention of the MKT issues that are still abundant in the spy tree however, maybe the patch notes will have something in them about that?

Heres to another year for MxO, see you on the other side of the um.. LCD screen.

#36300189654 03/17/2007 05:32:29 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
According to the CSRs: Email is not a supported feature.
#36300189716 03/17/2007 08:13:19 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007

I'm not sure if anyone else has figured this out or not but in regards to the ability breaking, you can fix the ability by performing another ability that's like it.  If your move requires a state, then perform another state-required move.  For example:

If Machine Gun Kick breaks, do a Ki-Charged Punch.  If Punt breaks, do a Spin-Throw.  Whatever you do, it will fix the broken ability.

Not really amazing at all. I have 84 bag slots on my character currently in WoW (not to mention the over 100 bank slots) and I still don't have enough room for everything. It's amazing we can manage with on 50 in MxO.

Also Walrus, here's to hoping Dracomet's fixes work. *raises glass*

#36300189878 03/17/2007 15:29:23 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
Ten shirts?!

If the email system is going to continue to be considered an optimal substitute for the growing lack of inventory space, then please, as so many others have requested, let us view more than 50 emails at a time.

Looking forward to the anniversary event!

EDIT: Oh, and CTRL+F still isn't working for many of us.  Even after removing any and all key bindings that use the F key.  Any ETA on a fix for this?

Lots of stuff, so little invent. SMILEY

Mabey.... we could have a physical item storage, like the code archive, but could only hold say... 50 items, like shoes pants and Shades, that way, we wouldn't have to fill our e-mail spaces with older event rewards, only accessible from a Hardline?   No?  Just a thought.  Or add 2 new pages to the inventory...?

To change the subject, on the 25th of March, I will be celebrating my 1 year anniversary on MxO, yes, I just got used to CR1 then woosh, gone and I was being swamped by Sleepwalkers! SMILEY  Still, I survived and I am still here.

'Perpetual' Free Trials aswell, I am going to be sending a lot of e-mails to my old friends from school and College.

The DT lag's days are numbered aswell, could MxO's future look any more brighter than it does right now?

All we needed was a little patience and positivity, SOE will soon see that The Matrix Online has some life in it yet! SMILEY

#36300189962 03/17/2007 19:54:40 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
NPC pathing huh.  So what happens when you find an elevator full of NPCs?  What does that do?

Make them decompilable but non - tradeable (same for the compile code too for good measure)

This way we can make / remake them as needed and they still stay unique

Problem solved SMILEY
#36300190090 03/18/2007 04:11:07 Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
WOW! So I assume that the lag bug was caused by the bug I would encounter downtown sometimes where an NPC that needed to be killed wouldn't be on the mission floor. It would be on another floor or in the elevator... weird.

Also,

Rooooooooooooooock Chaaaaaaaaaaaaalk Jayhawwwwwwwwwwwwwk... KU
