I'm happy, I only have 1 lvl 50, my alts are lower levels, this gives me greater incentive to play those characters/alts... Can't wait to see the buffs on them...
#36300443528 04/17/2008 03:35:44 Re:Image Retrieval - April 16, 2008
This is cool, when's it out, next patch? - man I never thought I'd have to struggle NOT to level up!!!

Hmm, is Binary Boy gonna move, 'cause it's nigh on impossible to get near him without getting killded by the local gangs atm.

People are complaining about this? For god's sake... Every piece of content in the past few months has been for level 50s, and you complain when there's finally content exclusively for lowbies? Pitiful.

I can't get the gloves/hands easily, but:
a) I could get them by the means ZaneZavin described; and
b) I don't want them.

I don't have an urge to collect every new item or piece of clothing that comes along. There's nothing wrong with these gloves, but they're not my style.
#36300443548 04/17/2008 04:52:06 Re:Image Retrieval - April 16, 2008
I think they're cool.

Now time for me to use my persuading powers and seduce a lowbie. SMILEY

Thankfully my alt is the right level for this zone!

Robot gloves might look cool.

#36300443603 04/17/2008 07:30:39 Re:Image Retrieval - April 16, 2008

I hope they don't glow, or if they do only during specials in IL... (if they're an IL glove). The only thing I hate about the Quicksilvers are their glowing streaks, which looks cool for a bit then the novelty wears off when a lot of people wear them, and they glow, quite strangely, at the feet... I would have personally preferred them to glow from the hands during special moves only (but I don't think that would be possible as it seems like the glow is flagged when the wearer is in IL)

If these gloves do have an animation, I hope it's subtle... like a couple of sparkles... hmmm....

To be fair, MxOs content can be quiet sparse as it is, and at first glance it looks like if you have a higher level character you have been cut out of this content unless your willing to grind another character.  (Unlike the lower level Headless or Industrial Fedora which you could still get)
But granted, we dont know all the details yet so mabey we should wait till we get more before making asumptions but if they dont give out more details, we will have to guess.
Your mission: seduce a lowbie.


Well that just makes me want to cancel my subscription. Guess this game is all about the 50's?

You want to cancel because you're getting some content at low levels? Wow. =====

Correction, hands and feet is glow. I loved Cap's drawings on this particular issue and the short stab at the glow was funny as anything, the hands glowing can be attributed to the gloves, fair enough... but the feet? How? Why? Where? Huh?

It was an ability, we missed the ability from C1. Rarebit gave it to us.

It was an ability, we missed the ability from C1. Rarebit gave it to us.

And both the feet and hands glowed while using the ability? Was it an in-combat special move, self buff or something? I take it then the visual effect of the glow couldn't have been edited by Rarebit or Dracomet to just glow at the hands? I can understand the point of people wanting to see something from CR1, but in my view, someone who's CR1 experience lasted about 30 minutes due to a rubbish PC and dial up connection, the glowing at the feet is a little strange considering that the item causing it is a pair of gloves! Obviously thats my opinion, I'm not campaigning for it to be changed, I just hope that if the new gloves have an animation then it'll be more subtle and it won't make any other body parts glow!

The blue one was Energized attacks and I can't remember the name of the red one. It made your tactics have a special border and I think you did more damage with it on. It was a buff, yes.

Powershot was like a yellow circle and a yellow arrow jabbing into it.

No no.

Red was precise blow(s?). Blue was energised attacks.

There was also a green one, but it only had an activation animation - your hands/feet didn't glow with that one while in combat.

Also, they used to be fire before they were glowy lazers.

Energized Attacks is the lightning bolt and Precise Blow is the Bull's eye with Arrow.  Power Shot is right below Energized Attacks.  I miss that move. :\

Ok, these look much better than the current Quicksilver glow imo, unless the Quicksilver version is a manipulated version of this, the only similarity is the colour and the glow from hands and feet...

Blue version of what's shown above, perhaps a tiny bit more subtle and from the hands only would be cool for the 10 gloves... unless they're gloves that benefit hackers. I only say that because Hackers don't have a lot of movement abs whilst in IL...

I want to say it's Punishing Blow but I'm not 100% sure.  I'll look through my old stuff.

I remember Hyper Strength was just a pulsing white glow on your hands, which I kinda miss having. It was such a useless ability for a lot of IS per second, but every newbie thought you were god when you could sit there and let your hands glow bright forever.

Hehe  Actually, the effects were changed long before the QuickSilvers were created.. and the change was made because, IIRC, so many people were complaining that the flames weren't "matrixy" enough.  And thus we ended up with lazer pew pew hands and feet, which really aren't any more "matrixy" and are decidedly less cool.
#36300443738 04/17/2008 10:45:07 Re:Image Retrieval - April 16, 2008
I remember the flames turning into "LED with long exposure" during, I think, the first Halloween event. That was pretty cool, and I always liked them the new way. However, I kind of wish they were a little more subtle and not as bright considering how many people now have quicksilver gloves not just for the buffs, but because they think if they wear them (with a flaming bandanna head) it'll make them look like good MAs or something.

The looks or the buffs?

Because with their buffs, all other gloves become obsolete, well, if your below level 45 that is.

He once "eyed the gloves holding the nerf stick" when the discussion of the buffs was brought up.

But I'd like the brightness and obviousness of the lazars to be nerfed too, but that's just me.

..sorry it was inevitable, heheh. Wow seeing the old tree and ability names brings back memories. Yeah there were quite a few complaints about the original effects for Precise blow and Energized attacks back in the day (and I mean seeing at least one thread every day), but I always liked them especially for the bonus for using a particular tactic with it activated. That why I was glad to see the red effect make it back. Hopefully the others will make it back too. In regards to the IR, I think mid level content is always good. Especially since it was a barren construct.
