After October please use this link.

Jezebeth! woo!!

Shinryu · 10/15/2008 15:52:40

Still not blown away by the feature... but there's a few in there I wouldn't mind picking up.

Nicksie · 10/15/2008 15:53:54

We'll be able to use these masks year round! Let's have Halloween parties every month! SMILEY

ZippyTheSquirrel · 10/15/2008 15:55:59

"Reusable?"

Heelz da, I's takes me some 'dose.

Asna · 10/15/2008 15:55:59

I don't care what anyone else says .. I love this idea and I'm super excited about these!! I'm gonna want as many of em as I can get my greedy little hands on!

/as

MXOWinterMute · 10/15/2008 16:00:32

This can be fun! Looking forward to grabbing several of these. Plus it makes an added bonus for those of us who help other players farm keys.

Thanks! SMILEY

Tesma · 10/15/2008 16:00:42

Pretty cool, cant wait to get these ingame.

Procurator · 10/15/2008 16:00:44

I never realised how many gang bosses wear Blockers Shades.

Nicho · 10/15/2008 16:02:06

I'm not too excited about this, but I just think it's because I'm not a female. Us men are fine with how we look and aren't envious of others. Just kidding ladies, Happy Halloween.

SampleNow · 10/15/2008 16:02:42

Nice, I can't wait to collect them all.

deffdog · 10/15/2008 16:02:58

I really like this idea. I am curious what are the chances that when Halloween ends, will our left over masks turn in to 1 time only RSI Capture Tools?

PS: You may want to update that Subject Line. Still says its a halloween mask image.

I don't like to be negative but I really don't see much point in these.

Croesis · 10/15/2008 16:07:05

Well, I know I can get rid of my succubus halloween mask once these come out, well... maybe. Jez doesn't have the slinky dress as the succubus mask so... I might keep it SMILEY

I am sure they will be popular for a while then get old, but I like this idea, its another option for us RPers

Nicksie · 10/15/2008 16:10:31

These are Halloween masks if you think about it, since we get them when Halloween comes to the Matrix SMILEY We just get to use these all the time, and they don't come from zombies or punkins SMILEY

Ooh actually I think I am wrong, they will come after Halloween ends SMILEY

Heelz da! I used to have an alt for something like this - I'd have to code all the clothes and remake the alt every once in a while for gender changes, and it was so costly and time consuming... but now I can just farm the gang boss! AND IT'S REUSABLE! <3

Yeah, they come after Halloween but they are the same principle as the masks. Of course as someone said in another thread, this will make it difficult to spot clothing stacking, at least in the initial rush.

I'm going to agree with Odj on this..

Croesis · 10/15/2008 16:32:35

At least it will give the area bosses a new breath of life, especially for those who have all the nodes.

Cervacius · 10/15/2008 17:05:59

That's a neat idea!

I think at first we'll see these all over the place like we do when Halloween is here, but even during the 2 weeks of Halloween, near the very end people aren't wearing the masks anymore. So I give them 2 weeks of popularity and then they'll be items strictly for RPers. At least we're getting some new RP tools!

Kudos.

MatrixRefugee · 10/15/2008 17:09:43

Heh, I'm looking at a storyline where one of my male alts winds up becoming an incubus (or rather, winds up with an incubus symbiote, somewhat like the White Court vampires in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files novels), so this is right up my alley...

Mindsweep · 10/15/2008 17:10:49

but they have no timer, and the "RSI Captures" will work year-round.

Woootiiiliiihuutt. Also good for some RP and..lot's of other fun hehe.

Nice work Dev's!

CPT_Starschwar · 10/15/2008 20:07:00

I think they're pretty neat. I'd love to see this extended to other npc types as well - the exiles in hideouts, enemies in archive missions and constructs, etc. Their reusable nature is one of their strongest points.

ArchDuke · 10/15/2008 20:22:57

I really like this idea, and It'll be nice to have these bosses available as characters for movies. *starts thinking of possible movies*

It's a pretty random thing to introduce into the game. Will we see other RSI capture devices in the future? Only Rarebit will know.

And the only con I can see about these is not being able to see your opponent's gear in PVP. I don't PVP much, so it's not a real problem for me personally.

monkeymanx8 · 10/15/2008 20:30:21

I think this is a really cool idea. Plus, if you use these in PvP, your clothing has some order, instead of the wacky combos like suit+jeans+tennis shoes, etc.

Baroness · 10/15/2008 21:49:16

it would be nice to have the "kiss of death" too

GoDGiVeR · 10/15/2008 22:29:35

Neato!

Asa · 10/16/2008 01:42:19

Isn't Mammon supposed to be dead?

I like the idea and if anyone 'doesn't see the point',I'll spell it out. F-U-N.

Rarebit · 10/16/2008 01:58:22

Tool screenshots (and no this tool doesn't work with the compiled versions you have) of the gang leaders used for the 48 tool icons:

MXO trivia buffs will notice changes to two gang leader RSIs there that will be included in this update.

(Actually there are three, but the third one only happens 50% of the time, so that's kind of tricky to spot.)

Criingey · 10/16/2008 02:05:38

Working late Rare? SMILEY

Yasamuu · 10/16/2008 03:18:25

Cool!

I'm looking forward to these being placed in game.

Hellie · 10/16/2008 03:37:25

Sweet, Demon Army.

Criingey · 10/16/2008 03:42:47

i can see these coming in handy for those that want to play as succubi and such

*stares*

My head hurts... oh, wait, is it not in the earlier posts?

Also, I think I'm perpetually scared of Tisiphone now.
