Well, Rare said there were going to be some special in-game surprises coming our way. What do you think they are?

I for one, hope for code bombs and CPDs and the possibility of live event character masks.

#36300540280 02/02/2009 19:40:04 Re:"Final Surprises" Speculation Thread

Maybe a bit of a stretch, but I would hope for a device that allows the existing lowbies to get to 50. I'm not even sure if that's possible (just a consumable that grants enough xp?), but I think it would be appreciated.

I talked to AliceThePattern about this.  She agrees that Live Event Character Masks may be involved, especially since Rarebit said something about putting the story in "our hands," and he's been working on more RSI Captures as of late.

One can only hope.

This seems very likely.

Heart boxers. 

#36300540290 02/02/2009 19:54:56 Re:"Final Surprises" Speculation Thread

Maybe some kind of NPC placement tool, or some item that we've been begging for the past couple of years but never got. Or maybe the surprise is LESIG-related.

#36300540291 02/02/2009 19:55:43 Re:"Final Surprises" Speculation Thread

Morpheus coat, please.

EDIT: maybe a quest to get the terminator bit and some other rarities. seems silly to let these things go to waste.

  • Event FX items to become perpetuals.
  • Non-tradeable FM-1500 as the Machine chapter 12.2 reward.  ((I say non-tradeable because...  oh lawd, can you imagine the amount of Machinist whining if they could be traded?))
  • CAMO PANTS!!!
  • Live Event Character RSI Captures
  • Spawn Tools

I would be happy then.

#36300540310 02/02/2009 20:42:38 Re:"Final Surprises" Speculation Thread

Live Event character masks would be very nice to have... as would some sort of storytelling tools.

This ^^ Might as well let us lightup like a xmas tree perma for kicks since all we do is stand in mara anyhoo *shrug* Plus the others will give us story control seeing as SEO is pretty much handing chunks of handscripts over to be analyzed.

While your at it add to the list of impossiblities giving us all admin powers w/red flame rsi's

FX items given out at events are already perpetual.

There is no Chapter 12.2

#36300540351 02/02/2009 21:13:07 Re:"Final Surprises" Speculation Thread

Just a couple off the top of my head.  Still gathering my thoughts.

  • Translocation Programs
  • Beta gear
  • Blue Sky/Security gear
  • Oh, Heart Boxers

I meant to say the archive FX to become perpetual.

#36300540915 02/03/2009 23:39:40 Re:"Final Surprises" Speculation Thread

I am hoping for Live Event character masks that can be used anytime.

#36300540916 02/03/2009 23:45:36 Re:"Final Surprises" Speculation Thread

Melee weapons.  Heavy artillery, esp. RPG's.  Driveable cars.  Open up the Aqueduct + several new districts.   The Real, with fully operational Hovercrafts. The "Neoness" Luggable.*  Gogogogo Rare, get these things in before you go, chop chop, kthxbai.

Oh I almost forgot, hire Larry and Andy Wachowski to work on MxO full time starting Monday Feb 16th.  I'm a chill guy, so I'll let them have the weekend off before I have them put their nose to the grindstone.

*Bonus points to anyone who gets that reference SMILEY

Actually, if the Halloween Masks were released for all around use, that would be pretty cool.

Also, if the Smith Virion luggable could be put back ingame permanently....That would be EPIC!

I know it's easy to overlook little details, so I'll just point one out in the specific text I posted that this thread is reacting to, since a few people here seem to be getting a wee bit carried away by the various amusing comments being made:

"including a few little items that will remain secret"

Confusing, I know. =p

Also, everyone's rep will be set to max Zion while Agents begin spawning relentlessly.  Eyes will appear in the sky and warnings to jackout will flood system text.  Meanwhile Neo and Smith appear over the city in an epic climatic battle with RFZ reporting...

If it's little and a secret then maybe it's a single key that someone can find that will open all the white corridors, or maybe it's a single key that leads to the Source....

How about an RSI capture of the Architect?
