I know what you mean but you need to get a new line. You can state what your opinion is without trying to pass it off as some kind of universal truth.GoDGiVeR wrote:Agreed, bring them back closer to their original spec, you know, the one that everyone got excited about when they were first announced. No hardlining inter-district either. heh.@ Devs: Make luggables drop (AND remove the effects) on death, NOT reconstruct, thank you. That would lessen the number of people dual clienting to keep hold of a certain luggable.
- Drop on death
- You need to hold the luggable to get the buffs, once you drop the lug, you lose the buffs
They used to look silly and work silly, you have sorted the looks, now fix how they work >_<
Every time, jeese.
Look, i am sorry for always being the only one of these forums to post my views in a truth suggesting manner.
Its not intentional. Its not like i'm trying to spread some sort of collection of well thought out lies to try and progress my grand plan for MxO forum domination ¬_¬
Anyway, i was working off this.
"Luggables cannot be taken outside of the Matrix. So a player with a luggable has to stay in the game or drop it so someone else can pick it up. You will also automatically drop it if you teleport via hardline or otherwise leave the main Matrix construct.
That also means the luggable will be dropped if the player carrying it dies. What's that? Did I hear some cheering from our PvPers? ![]()
Yes, one of the main reasons to add luggables to the game is to give PvP some meaning"
(empthesis added)
As for retaining buffs, Maybe i misinterupted some of that, maybe i don't go trawling through news archives to validate my opinion every time i post a vague memory, maybe i wasnt a member of the dev team 5 years ago. I don't know. Again, my apologies for any misleading i may have done.

It may not be hard but its a pain in the *CENSORED* to run every white hallway until you get it right.
Were the drop rates of the Smith Frags edited at all? They seems to be dropping very slowly and considering how many you need to get all the male and female shirts (170 I think) it will take a while and if you cant log on as much as I can.
Its taken over an hour to get 20, that equals about 8-9 hours to get the set.

So based off of what direction and how far the luggable is from your current location, usually it can be narrowed immediately down to 3 hallways or less.Michael1 wrote:Kybutra wrote:It's really not that hard if you know where you're going...Since we are on the subject of luggables, I'm getting a little tired of running threw every white hallway just get a hold of them in the international district.:O So that's where they are..

But truthfully, I'm just being an *CENSORED*; luggables should drop before entering the halls because it is just simply frustrating to get around.
EDIT: oh and Solid, I noticed that too. There's a few spawns of three or two Smiths that don't drop frags whatsoever. The single Smith spawn nearly always has a frag. Thinking of this...assuming we get another set of masks for Halloween next year, there needs to be some changes, or the rare masks will become super rare masks.
Quick question, will the firewall candy only work during the anniversary event...i know that the whole point of it is to protect you from the Smith virus, but will you be able to get the groovy green firey effect thing happening? Or is it another email strorage job?
They'll work all year round, but they will be just for show. The Brownies worked all year round too I think.

Or is it another email strorage job?I sent a PM to Rarebit asking this very question... he must be busy sorting through all of his PM's and I wouldn't be surprised if he just thought 'wait and see' or just deleted it as one of a number of silly PM's but yeah, I've stocked up on candy, just in case, for the occasional use for the rest of the year!
Goodbye Smith Virus
It was... a great pleasure and I hope that you become cannon in a future next to us.
( Almost crying because this ended. xXD )

If I remember correctly, when the event ended last year, the collectors were still around for a few days so that people could still redeem any Smith frags that they still had in their inventory. Will this happen again, or should I make sure that I trade in all of my Smith frags before the server restart? (I have a lot of them.)The collectors should be gone once update 59 is Live.
((Just sped-farm 20 frags because I only had tonight to actually participate in the Anniversary event.
