I was about lvl 30 when the "Assassin" Event was going on i had no chance too get a chance too kill the assassin, I was thinking it would be very nice too have a similar event every year or quartly, such as killing the assasin for the rare masks,  or other possible rare items.

I can't say I entirely disagree, I can't say I entirely agree with this either.

Keep in mind that for the European players who actually have a life besides The Matrix it's nearly impossible to be at a live event seeing that for us, they take place in the midst of night.
Not to mention getting these rewards!

I'm lucky enough I can find something special on the marketplace every now and then..


So yea, what about the EU players?
I pay for my game just as much as you guys do.
I play this game as much as you guys do in terms of hours a day.
Where's my reward then?


Sorry to take such a harsh stance on this, but it is only fair.

I would love the abilty to get items you had to trade in stuff for.

Like: Security clothing, Fly virus immunity.

You had to collect blue frags for the security shirt and docs for the FVI

Have a collector that would still offer those trades.


what'd be the point thoe? Odds of you ever collecting a full set of documents for fly virus immunity, or collecting a full set of blue frags is alot less than going to the server trade forums and putting up a WTB post looking to buy a security cap/shirt and fly virus immunity. And the reason I say that is because more people have the actual items at this point than have the collection pieces for the items. So for them to add thoes vendors back in is virtually pointless. Not to mention that to some collectors, the value of thoes documents and blue frags is worth more than the actual items you could get with them just due to the fact that a full set is more rare than the actual item its self.

And at this point the fly virus immunity is all but worthless. You can get immunity from a patchers bandana/headgear. And the only time that immunity is gonna do you any good is if someone uses an assassins mask around you, and the odds of that are very slim, because not many mask holders think its worth their 250 hp to give you a trivial debuff and like 30pts of damage. The only benefit that I can tell you that the fly virus immunity will give you is that when someone hits you with something that would pull your buffs off, they have a chance to remove that trivial buff over something thats more important. Thats why during pvp I'll run my merv boon, fly virus immunity, and now that I've got my perp flystorm, I'll run that to just so there's a chance for thoes 3 things to be pulled off rather than my GM buff, or hypers. So outside of collection purposes, the fly virus immunity is worthless.


The point would be a place to see what has been given out over the years.

What docs it took to get an item. A place of reference ingame.
