No... It's a bad thing. If you even too basic economics you'd know that the value of an item is determined by supply and demand. As supply out paces demand, the value falls. In the Matrix, all crafted items can be decompiled and learned. T...

Yes. I believe the nightclubs that don't have contacts inside them are pretty much all over the Richland district. From what I remember off the top of my head, the other district nightclubs do have contacts inside, especially the very nice...

What do you guys thing about having the contact NPC inside each of these clubs give players a VIP access key that lets them use the club HL as a reward for completing the contact's last mission? Just thinking that would give players an ins...

Because you can decompile crafted items and learn the schematics, they proliferate to the point they are worthless and there's no point putting them on the MP. They just rot there and eventually get garbage collected by the system. Only co...

Obviously not a phone booth but would be nice for people to be able to hardline into night clubs. The hardline could be just an office style phone sitting on a desk or an indoor style wall mounted payphone. Alot of real night clubs have th...

Give all the ladies "Mouse's Lady In Red" disguises.

It's getting tiring setting all these auto ignores (crew, faction, mission, and etc. invites) every time I log in and since I cant set them until after I leave the loading area, I often get spammed with crew invites right as I materialize...

The objection I have to this is that they way players end up with a contested mission. Weither or not a mission is contested must be selectable by the player, not the uncontrolled way you wrote it up. People will get a bit ticked off havin...

Ikkaku, That idea would create a use for encryption/decryption skills that currently have no use whatsoever. It would take some fleshing out. It would need to be a challenging task for both character and player skill.

I hear why you are saying Lady_Return but I don't agree that because that's the way things are, its the way things should be or continue to be. If all schematics are open source the way they are now, you can't exactly design any missions o...

Yeah, I don't think I'd spend 100M on a white hallway key if all the Zion areas look like the image that Erace posted.

Perhaps an easier solution would be to provide a check box on the Coding Tool Panel that lets the crafter set the No Decompile bit. Then if the item was crafted with the check box turned on, it would refuse decompile attempts just like a r...

Sorry, but it is stealing. A crafter who sells an item on the Market in most cases intends to sell you an item for your use. If you buy the item and use it, that's as the transaction was intended. If you decompile it, you payed for the ite...

The real question is weither you should be allowed to expand your code library by earning schematics or by stealing them? If by stealing, then the work done by those who grow theirs by earning it is completely devalued.

Another side effect would be that used looted items would still have a value even if they had zero purity and condition left. Such used items could still be sold on the market as decompilable items.

Not really. You will just have to buy looted items off adventurers or go loot them yourself. Harder, yes because you can no longer steal schematics from the competition by buying and decompiling crafted items that they put up for sale on t...

Because it trivializes the effort of the original crafter to acquire a looted item, decompile it, and learn the schematic from it. Right now, schematics are worthless and anyone who sells a crafted item spoon feeds the schematic for the so...

People shouldn't be able to learn schematics from decompiling crafted items. It devalues the effort made by the people who loot, decompile and learn the schematic, then sell crafted items made from it if other people can just decompile wha...

I've tried stacking Hyper Block, Hyper Dodge, Hyper Sense, and Hyper Deflect. What's weird is if I execute them more than once, they each say I've refreshed an already running program. However, when I look at my buff icons, I only have ico...

Central Park South in Downtown is probably a very good choice. Especially since right as you exit the HL, you can turn about 45 degrees to the right and hyper jump to roof entrance at the 3rd floor of the building just east of the corner....

There's a new street gang of bluepills on the loose that are experimenting with a power that can vaporize the entire Matrix! It's the duty of ever redpill to band together to stop these renegades before they carry their full scale attack!...

Can we get some signal boosters put inside some of the nightclubs? Coding, Compiling, and De-compiling on the side walks and roofs just isn't that appealing.

Cooked and restocked them this morning. Just drop by your nearest hardline and pull up The Marketplace to check them out. Message Edited by ArdenStarmariner on 10-06-2005 07:42 AM
