to do SMILEY This is going to be target someone, click the button, get some
spam in your system window SMILEY

Is it possible to let the tool show up in the hands while using it?
So many emotes or abilities with tools have to do with an item but there is none. /drinkbottle for example.


Nothing important, i know.

The interest is generally in those buffs that could be given by external influences and parties, so yes TB's or health boosters but also things such as combat enhancement 1.0, health regen boost etc from the patcher tree. A scan before a duel could generate a simple report along the lines;


scanning.....



  • Booster present: present/none

  • Org ability: present/none

  • Clothing buff : present/none

  • Additional buff: present/none

if the scan involved a timer 5 - 10 seconds that was interruptable and also was unusable in stealth the actual ability it's use in general pvp would be minimal - the only time I can imagine it being relevent would be where someone has 'Delete Upgrade' loaded (they'd be able to use their skill that bit more efficiently than at present) - if it could be made mutually exclusive to that tree all negatives are really covered but even if not its not the end of the world.


Overall would be an excellent tool for player events!




I'm not sure I know what you mean by "Clothing Buffs." Do you mean if
the person is wearing buffed clothing, or stuff like the Toughness from
the PB2 items? Because the whole "buffed clothing" thing is kinda a
"duh" moment. I mean, of course they're going to have buffed clothing. I suppose it might be good for a duel in unbuffed clothing, though.

I imagine that the "Tapping Data Node" animation will be reused for this one.

Its possibly a pre-cr2 thing but in the tourneys I attended they were generally naked to make it as pure a test of player ability/lo rather than the latest gear etc....either that or everyone was a pervert :smileysurprised: In any event if the info is there it can be noted, the rules of the duel will determine whether it is permissable or not so I see only advantage in its inclusion.

Ahhh, thank you Aquilae, I was just about to go nuts finding that for him. I can't believe he never saw that episode! Very dissapointed in you Frog. SMILEY


Anyways, I know its cool for this to be an Awakened tool, how about putting this down the Data Miner tree? Another great reason to be a Data Miner? SMILEY

Maybe for animation, it would look like a combination of scanning animation from the data mine tree with a different style effect and/or a hacker doing the hand animation (hacking viruses).

Oh, that was a funny episode SMILEY
------------------

Well, I believe the diagnostic tool would be interesting... I think that if it's going to list details of what an opponent is boosted with, maybe it could be given a bit of a Matrix Element to it. The system chat it could be said by your operator, and it would only be read out on your screen. Because no matter what, you'll always have that group of players that will time their Diagnostic Tool in proper sequence to spam Mara C for ten minutes...

Operator: HCFrog is now equiped with:
Tactic Booster 4.0
Health Boost 5.0
Dev Shield Evade 1000

Just something along those lines, because I really think MxO could use a bit more of a matrix feel to it still...

What's an Org Skill now?

Actually could someone explain the whole purpose of this thread? I'm utterly confused!

Hehehe, gotta love George.


So anyways, I would love if this tool kicks out a pretty verbose response in the System text. I figure the more info it provides the better (IMO).

How about for information revealed just have the name and then the type of buffs active.  example:

HC Frog is recieving enhancements from items (clothing or tactic boosters)
HC Frog has 3 operative buffs active
HC Frog has 2 awakened buffs active
HC Frog has 2 org abilities active

Well, I think you guys should make it clean like appear in a small window or something, Its pointless if its in system chat because it will be gone in like 5 secs.
