Question: Why not take the rolling animation and make a few new emotes?

/frontroll

/backroll

/leftroll

/rightroll

<= definately looking forward to the new cinematics. And cant wait to see this 'plot twist' in C5.1

What I want to know, is as we now have 2 abils to level simultaneously, is their levelling cost halved?

Anyone else think of this?

Yes. Oh yes:

That's going to be extremely cool.

And with double-tap rolling gone... Can we get a /cartwheel emote? Hehe.

**Anamodiel**

I officially can't wait for the weekend to end. Man, I never thought I'd say those words in the same sentence.

Everything about this patch sounds cool. What kinds of problems were the dive rolls producing?

While it would be awesome, judging by what Rarebit said I don't think we're going to have new emotes in a long time.

Disclaimer:
I don't have a clue as to what it might take to actually create a new
emote but it seems to require motion capture actors & software
& installations to make it happen which with current ressources
would be a big no-no.

might finally be the time for me to get one of those nifty mega city sigs from Void.

anyone know if they are going to redo the old cinematics using this technique?

**ZaneZavin**

The current cinematics will stay as they are. This was asked before in the Ask a Dev thread.

I think it will be cool, I mean Chadwicks Assassin drawings made me /drool

Thats all true, but I wouldnt think the animations would need to be recaptured. We already know the animation works, since it has since forever. Hopefully it would be easier than making a new emote from scratch.

eh...I liked the old cinamatics more

First one in while that gets a WooHoo!

And...Data Node Suggestions.

1. Make data miner a part of the mission system linking computers with outside datablobs.

2. Create mobs (agents) that activate when Data Goggles turned on. Data Miner is part of the spy tree.

3. Change the outcome so that mobs can also result from data mining.

last but not least.

4. If you remember the penguin game where the yeti throws the penguin up and it bounces from side to side. The better the angle, the higher the penguin went as it bounced from side to side. Well, do something similar where the harder datablobs have to be retrieved by bouncing a single off the sides of buildings.

Anyway, 5.1 woohoo!

How can you not like it? No more dumb annoying old emotes etc.

I'm loving this! So original, so unique.
I've always loved Comic Noir's, it's reminding me of Max Payne. SMILEY

I like how MXO is sticking true to it's predecessor's, like Animatrix and Matrix Comic. Finally Matrix Online will feel like Matrix, in one way at least. SMILEY

In other words; Paul Chadwick FTW.

zeroone506

Wait... so the Animatrix and the Comics were "Matrixy", but the movies and EtM weren't? Is the photo-realistic look of MxO "unMatrixy"? Hmmm...

Holy **bleep**! My question in the Ask Rarebit thread actually got a bug fix! I feel so...listened to.

And Phrog's! Excellent!

I know man... whoever out there wants to say that the devs aren't listening around here hasn't tried talking to them SMILEY

For the record, the new cinematics style looks AWESOME. The in-game style engine never ever did it for me. It was like watching people play the game, and thus, not terribly exciting. Having a new, hand drawn animation cinematic every now and then will not only be very awesome but unique and make them feel like *something special*.
