I didn't get a good look, but are there any friendly NPCs that point you to the Warehouse?


There is one just across the road from the Uriah SW Hardline.

On my first time I played the game, I headed down that road all the way to the enterance to the Mars industrial, but as there was no indecation to head in there a year ago, I jumped on to the road and followed it round and found myself in Mara C.  Others could also make ther way to Tabor W from there, I wonder if there are plans to add a few more 'pointers' to the tutorial run to complete it.

The way I see it, new players already know what the collector symbol is after having to go talk to quite a few of them already. So when walking down the road pointed out, they'd see the symbol of the new collector (assuming they'd turned on their minimap) and venture toward it...

Oh, just throwing it out there (due to no ask the devs thread at the moment) , but could you look at the black machello patterned vest combo? It's always been grey.

 

Well...maybe it's just showing its true colors now. :p

I don't suppose you have before/after screenshots?

Oh, it didn't change, just pointing out that it's always been unusually shiny, to the point of it not being black. Don't mind me and my rambling, though.

If the major technical problems get fixed, then the quality of the game will reflect that.  It will improve the game play experience by 1000 fold and in turn will make the game look as good as it is supposed to.  And new users will appreciate the game even more.  As it is - it is so buggy and broken most ppl pass it up over for other games that actually work right.   

It's not about just giving ppl new hats and trinkets- in the fabric of the Matrix THERE IS NO HAT!  There is no "Sword of 1000 Truths" either.  They may be perks, but they don't fix the underlying problems that make and break them.  Also Rarebit, next time try to give a little more attention and consideration to the design of the female sets.  There are a few girls who play this game you know.  Maybe we would appreciate a few new dresses or colors or something just as much as the guys get their new suits and colors all the time.  There are more colors in the spectrum and color wheel than the shades of white and black.  Color enhancement makes the virtual world more vivid and exciting.  Yes the theme of the Matrix is black clothing in the movies.  But since ppl are saying things about shades and shineyness being off - those need to be considered, not just dissmised as ppl who don't know art. 

No more excuses!  Fix it as it will be much better and funner to play.  And maybe actually worth the $45.00 I fork out every 3 months to subscribe.  I have friends in here, I like the RPing element, and I'm a huge fan of the movies.  That is the only thing keeping me hanging on.  Otherwise I would have trashed my subscription a long time ago. 

It's not Vista's fault, it's not Nvidia's fault - it is old (somewhat dubious) code designed for XP, and a failure to upgrade it accordingly.  Vista is not a new thing anymore and it is the dominant OS being installed on all the new laptops and systems these days.  XP will be phased out just as Win98 did before it.  Failure to adapt the game to the changes of the computer world is no excuse.  Nvidia cards also are not new and change quickly from one card to the next - as they continue to push the threshold of the virtual world, gaming industry. Players shouldn't have to be stuck with and old OS and outdated cards just to be able to play 1 game.  From a marketing standpoint, this goes against all logic.  And the sales point - not just the art is the first and foremost important thing. 

I'm sorry big evil corporate Sony is so crappy to you guys and gives you very little to work with - but really, there are ways to work around what little they give you if you put your collaborative efforts and hearts into it.

For $15.00 per month and $45.00 per 3 month periods, this shouldn't be an issue - but ... it is.  And where others maybe afraid or too shy to speak up about it, but I am not and will voice my complaints.  And this lacking update strikes me as ... fairly unacceptable. Maybe others are happy to get their new hats, but I am not impressed.

The ingame Rarebit is actually female if I am not mistaken, so I am sure he knows that some of it needs fixing, there is a thread here that rarebit himself started where he asked people to report the clothing.  Of the 60+ posts I would say about 3 or 4 of them were reporting female clothing.

Which includes DarkHawk's own post if I'm not mistaken....

Indeed it does >_<

I meant more for that to show how many male items of clothing has been reported over female rather than show where it should be reported.

I dunno if anyone has reported this, but the icon for Quicksilver Gloves, like the picture of them in your inventory, is now the icon of it in code form, like it was just coded and not uploaded. Seems to only be for the male gloves though.

Hmm yeah i noticed it too!!Why is that??


I think it's just a problem with the male gloves: I got a pair of female Quicksilvers from a good friend, and the icon looks about the same for it.

Yup. Her name is LoveLorn and she's a few paces off to the left as you face the Uriah NW Hardline.

I think DarkHawk does make some valid points.   While the new trinkets and whatnot are, in some cases, very nice, there are still issues within the gameplay that need attention, like clothing stacking, enemies leaving mission areas and breaking/out of line interlock animations to name just a few.  These are glaring issues that both bother the vets and turn off new comers in one fell swoop.  There are also things like bringing back the old combat animations and reworking the faction controls, to name a couple, which would be positive changes/enhancements that wouldn't be bug fixes but also would be a lot more impactful than fancy new t-shirts.

New clothing items these days always come in both male and female versions. I haven't been adding more new items for one gender than another. And there haven't been new suit colors in ages as far as I'm aware.

Since I didn't see anyone else say it, thanks for making the female beta glasses black again! SMILEY Although the orangey color was kind of neat, I would rather they be black myself SMILEY They are the only really black Delaco glasses there are! The regular Delaco's are sort of dark but they are really reflective..  so they don't look black (but please don't ever change this the Delaco's are my favorite!!!)

And thanks for everything everyone else already said too SMILEY I love everything!!
