:O

Oh my. Now, we could be looking at ability pills, or some new abilities, or just some new finishing animations.

Looking forward to it. SMILEY

Riac. · 09/13/2007 15:16:04

Wow.. that looks awesome the second part of the image is my favourite.. looks like something that will be PS'd in the future >_<

Havocide · 09/13/2007 15:16:31

Looking sweeet.

Ability pills? Heh Fun.

... I REALLY hope these are going to be abilities, not more pills.

MatrixRefugee · 09/13/2007 15:27:56

Whoa, that's cool, whatever those moves are!

Yasamuu · 09/13/2007 15:29:36

Tseng pointed out on ventrilo a couple of minutes ago, that the ability as actually what the Twin uses when attacking with a razorblade - but without the razorblade.

cloudwolf · 09/13/2007 15:37:34

Again, w00t for new abilities and awesome use of animations, boo for pills. I stick by scrolls but really anything is better than more colour variations of the same icon we've seen umtenth times...

HostileIntention · 09/13/2007 16:01:24

"Meh" at pills, but what other option is there? So if we have to be pill poppers to see these slick animations, so be it! =D

Apost1e · 09/13/2007 16:08:30

Perhaps these "pills" will be the new organization rewards coming up at the end of chapter 8. (Archieves 5-8 that is)

BayBay · 09/13/2007 16:19:25

farming....???

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nah we get clothing rewards for the big chapter archive rewardy thingy.

As cool as these are, I'd much rather have an Agent Suit.

LoTekGhost · 09/13/2007 16:55:36

Whatever it ends up being, this content is certainly stirring my interest.

Looks good, thanks Raijinn!

nubious81 · 09/13/2007 16:56:40

Make that a Female Agent Suit!

RetroX · 09/13/2007 17:24:47

...Gee, I wonder whats going to be involved in getting these pills, how about something orginal...oooo I know whats better a great big farm.

The pill thing just screams content and to be honest I have had enough of the farm and its going to ruin yet again something that could pwn

TonyJaa · 09/13/2007 17:49:56

I thought we didnt have an animator??

Ditto.

Bringing back old content in the form of consumables and activation items makes it all seem so "hack job".

PS10N · 09/13/2007 17:54:58

This looks to be a great response from the devs to the outcry for any new animations, and of course these are old animations being polished and presented, which is as it should be. Any and all material that can be put back in should be. Keep digging through the past, please! Here's hoping for the Nuclear Power Plant someday.

You can say that again!

Weskie · 09/13/2007 18:01:45

IF they are pills, we'll prolly have to farm them using data miner. You know like QuickSilver pills, ect.

It's just a darker suit with a tie clip. Whee. Sorry, but I personally don't find the idea that great.

But anyway, mixed feelings on the pills, could just be a placeholder icon. (Which I hope is the case.)

McBain · 09/13/2007 18:40:59

Am I dreaming?... Is this... true?
*drools*

Expedience · 09/13/2007 18:41:44

If I'm correct, some time ago there was talk about resetting everybody's beginner missions. And at the end, giving the players organizational abilities. Well, what if the pill insignia was just the hotbar icon seeing that.. Well. We all know SOE.. SMILEY

And if you think about it, this would go quite well with the Merovingan organization, having all ready said by somebody else that this is the same animation inwhich the Twins use for one of their abilities. Though if you think about it, this is also a common disarming technique from the first Matrix movie. And, well. Supposedly SOE got pretty far into production of the organizational abilites, so it would make sense. Aye?

Darker suit, pure white shirt and tie clip. It's just the principle of the thing - Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, and just about everyone else from the movies' wardrobes are available ingame, except the Agent suits.

And if Jac's right about these being some sort of organization abilities... woot!

Cmdr_Dezreki · 09/13/2007 20:03:15

I'm...beyond words. I can't stop staring...at the awesome. :O

I dont think these where ever the org abilties. Why? In Vegas at the fanfaire, they spoke about how they where meant to work..something to do with towers or something. Holding them grants stuff. *shrugs* probably wrong.

These are just old abilities.

Fen · 09/13/2007 20:34:59

It appears that the system allows for pills to created much more easily than mucking around with ability trees. I hope that disguises aren't hard to make, for example I want that Camo Soldier and the Generals Commandos as disguises. Please SMILEY

Hm I suppose we really could use some more disguise tools at some point. Although...that makes me want to say that they'd be craftable only, and you'd have to get a special frag from the NPC type that you wanted to make a disguise from... Hm... That could get complicated.

GypsyJuggler · 09/13/2007 23:36:31

Pfft Dracomet set that up already, just make him do it =D

cloudwolf · 09/14/2007 01:23:29

Yeah, i always found it odd disguises stopped at lv30 (?)

Just please bear in mind if new ones are ever to be added to NOT just stick the new ones on the proceeding levels as the current ones - theres a nice progression to be had leading up to Agent (which i always thought would be a far more lv50 rewardo type thing being able to walk around as agents =P)

As for these pills i would like to just remind people any consumable being a pill is simply an item name, an icon and an animation. The code for a consumable is the same for a silver bullet as it is a health or rsi pill (except of course it has an ability attached)

All it takes here is an icon change (since the names are already non-pill related and you dont need any new animations since these use existing combat moves) to make em something entirely different.

I know a guy who would kill to get the clothing that Camo Soldiers wears.

Outlaw · 09/14/2007 06:40:56

it would be cool if someday that if we wanted to have a disguise of a certain NPC in the matrix, all we had to do was kill a few and if we got the special frag, we could just code our own disguise for that NPC. That be a lot of disguises and work though

I wonder if it would be easier/quicker to implement that farming the patchers headgear

Ugh, You are all forgetting that the archive rewards ARE NOT coming out in the next patch, remember we get the old Critial Missions when a new chapter begins! Those rewards will be out in Update 56 (Which will should be out 5 or 6 weeks before the Winter Event starts, so its a long time to wait for them)

So no these WON'T be archive rewards, imagine having the grind 45 missions to get a pill that only lasts 600secs. Remember people.... Think! before you act!

Back on the subject, i'm looking foreward to them. A nice change from the clothes

And you're assuming that these abilities are intended for the next patch. Keep in mind that chapter 8 content started appearing on DN1 (character redesigns) right before the 7.3 patch.

machete · 09/14/2007 17:45:13

I said it before in the Shadow Phoenix thread. I REALLY hope these grant abils permanent and not temporarily. It would really suck if I would have to craft these things all the time. SMILEY

MXOMastatec · 09/14/2007 21:56:40

hmmm two operative move pills for any build

it is only fair that you come out with some hacker and coder ability pills

coder:

decoy pill!! ^_^ take the pill and decoy sim shows up!

citadel coder pill: choose target before consuming to create sim that will kamikaze on opponent! woot!

hacker:

white space pill: grants ability to remove a random buff from oponent

block override pill: debuffs block tactics from opponent while in IL.

yes, i am donating these to the mxo soe dev team. you dont have to pay me. thats for your legal dept by the way. ^_^

Nicksie · 09/15/2007 08:13:49

I hope we get to see the Aikido wall move come back as a pill like this! SMILEY " width="15" height="15" />

I always heard there was one but I never got to see it! I wonder if that other pill we saw was supposed to be that move =) Or it could have been the kung fu one.. I never got it to work either :/

EDIT: animation should be rsi rejuvenation spawning from casting rsi (alien anyone) and then it runs into target and causes damage to players 4 m around target.
hacker:
white space pill: grants ability to remove a random buff from oponent. Edit: animation should be remove upgrade but in white color
block override pill: debuffs block tactics from opponent while in IL. EDIT: animation can be the UI 1.0 animation but in white? yellow?
