Data Miner.
Seriously.

Hm. That's really a shame. Tr1gga was just starting to get into the whole RP scene. I know I had some fun conversations with him. Anyway, you'll be missed, Trig.

- Void

(Who was this Dev he allegedly cursed out? Was he whiteroomed for something?)

Aw, just the ones I wanted...
Well, that's cool. Good luck selling the others, man.

- Void

Nice.
Very nice.

- Void

As Willy Wonka would say:
"... Ew."

- Void

Nicely done.

- Void

*Void smiled at all this... But just a little*

- Void

I'll try to make it on Vector, too.

Let's hope the security is good.

- Void

And you know, the 9/11 thing might actually help. Because I'm betting a few people won't want to fight then.

So far, all the operative profiles (all two of them) have been wonderful reads. I'm starting to look forward to them the same way I do with content updates.

- Void

I like the Blockers.
Then again, my character is a blind guy, so I guess it fits. SMILEY

... I mentioned this some time ago, but we don't actually have any black sunglasses among the male sunglasses options. Not a single pair. Even Rarebit said he thought that was kinda weird.

- Void

I try...

- Void

Hm... It's nice, but I predict we'd see everyone loading that in combination with duelist.

- Void

I'd definitely be willing to help out with this project.
Let me know what sort of roles are available.

- Void

Definitely would add some feeling to it.
Though I'm sure they're still working on things like cosmetic descriptions, maybe even new icons.

- Void

Bidding is now closed, Prysum is the winner.
Thank you to all who bidded on this bandana. Hopefully, I'll have another to give out sometime soon...

- Void

If anyone wants me, I'll be lurking in the shadows.

You can get negative absorption in Live, too.
Happens all the time when I'm running Assassin against someone who doesn't have much of a resistance modifier. Find Weakness does -50% damage resistance at level 50, so if they only have something like 5% or 10% resistance to begin with, it starts going into negative absorption.

- Void

Sorry. I've already got duals in both cases. I'm looking for the apparently-elusive singles. Hoping something will come up at the upcoming coder meeting.

- Void

Well, this was all he needed, Void thought, his eyes pouring over the transmission with suitable disgust... He wasn't concerned about the Chambers posing any sort of threat, of course. He doubted that they could even rally all the Machinists to their cause, and he was fully aware that Machinists, so oft-misunderstood, were in the minority at large... Not to mention that the Merovingian still had in reserve many... unconventional weapons which he had yet to employ in defense of his interests.

Void supposed that he, too, was one of the Merovingian's weapons for the defense of His interests...

Apart from writing regular reports for Flood to throw away, Void's employment was derived from "protecting the Merovingian's assets." Usually, this meant making sure that Marrith wasn't gnawing on anyone of importance. But Void knew naturally that the Frenchman's own life was His most valuable asset, as well as Void's at the moment.

Or was it?

... He didn't want to think about it.
But somewhere in the back of his mind, he already knew what it was going to come down to. Somehow, through some trick of intolerably cruel fate, he would have to make a choice between failing to do his job, and destroying the one person he truly had feelings for. Void considered both fates worse than death itself, despite the fact that he was fairly certain death would be a consequence of either path.

Leaning back, and feeling more depressed than he had in some time, he sighed broodingly...
... But just a little.

One minor thing that I'm not pleased with:

Stop changing my glasses!
I used to wear the nice, black ones provided by having an Archivist's book equipped. That, of course, was nerfed for some reason (confusion related to the glasses, I guess). So, I took off my Widow's Moor Lenses and started wearing plain old White Sector Sunglasses (The same as what you'd get with the book, and one of the first glasses choices in the game). That was all fine and well until I logged in this morning to find that they had inexplicably gone rainbow.

All I want, is a nice, male pair of black sunglasses. It completes my character. Now, I'm not saying we should get rid of the rainbow shades, as they're actually kind of a cool effect.

But rather than changing the appearance of an existing item, could we just keep the old version and add the new? Would that be so terrible?

I'm sure a lot of people don't care what they're wearing while they play, and they won't notice or mind this change at all... But some of us like to look a particular way, in the spirit of the Matrix, and when you suddenly change the look of certain items on us... Well, it's a bit frustrating.

This is the first time I've ever bothered to post a complaint like this with a patch. As I said, it may seem like a silly thing to some people... But hey, I pride myself in having created a certain look for my character, and I need a pair of black shades for that look. I can't believe there aren't a single pair left in the Matrix (unless you're a female of course. Their shades remain pretty cool).

Yay.

(Awesome... Just... yeah. Awesome. I'm sorry to see it end, but I know that it'll allow you to come up with something else down the road.)

Well... The only issue with this is that your tree buff does not buff skills only as long as you are using that style, in my experience.

Thus, choosing the Kung Fu GM buff is a different tactical decision than choosing the Karate GM buff - they each provide different bonuses to the same statistics.

I normally run around as a Karate GM/Kung Fu GM on the test server, and I generally have my Kung Fu GM ability activated because it buffs my accuracy a little more. Now, if I am easily hitting an opponent, I'll switch to the Karate GM buff for the increased damage.

The buffs do take up hotbar space, but with twice as many hotbars to use, it really should be fine considering you can only load two trees to full capacity at a time. While I could see the system for this going back to the way it was, there is an important reason for having the buffs as they are.

Bottom line: Your tree buff is no longer tied to your style. You really can do Karate moves as a Kung Fu fighter.

- Void

Who knows with the Oracle, man...?

- Void

That's what you get for mixing your trees, unfortunately. SMILEY

I also use a hybrid Kung Fu/Karate build, and between monitoring which base tactic I'm using and monitoring which dodge ability I have selected, I'm glad that I don't manually have to change my style.

As I posted in another thread, your tree buff is no longer tied to your style, so activating your Karate GM buff will benefit you even if you choose to use a Kung Fu attack. The only things that won't help are the abilities that specifically increase style accuracy or damage.

- Void

I always liked the old trick to get SMG animations to play using pistols.
Reminded me of a pair of G18Cs. SMILEY

- Void

The Void is pleased... SMILEY

Hopefully more inventory and more archive space is in the works.

- Void

On the plus side, we ran into some good bugs.

I particularly want to thank you, Ywie, for Dev Fielding me, since I ran into a bug where neither the Dev field nor the "Stun Immunity" timer went down, thus rendering me totally incapacitated until Th3ra was able to hit me with a sweep.

Frog, if you're reading this, that means I did finally get unfrozen. SMILEY

- Void

The problem with that is coming up with the $info on the other servers... I'll certainly be watching this one further.

- Void

(I'll be looking forward to it, Fen. Always enjoy your writing, and the ever-evolving RP community at large.)

- Void

Does someone want to hit me with a log? I'd hate to miss out on all the day-1 fun, even though that's technically what happened... SMILEY

- Void

I'm sure those who are able to be in game will flock to this thing.
You've certainly piqued quite a bit of interest...

- Void

Speaking of Rarebit's questionable French... Someone should ask the biggest mistake the Devs have ever made with their godly LE powers.

Silencing KingKAW and forgetting about him?

Accidentally turning off my mission system that one time?

Maybe... Getting hacked to death because they forgot to turn on "god mode"?

(by the way, all those things have happened to various characters SMILEY

)

In order to add a player from Vector to your lists, you have to use the format "/friend Vector-Hostile.Playername" or "/ca Vector-Hostile.Playername". I'm not sure why the "-Hostile" has to be in there - probably because it's just part of the server name.
Anyway, that should fix things, for all you Syntaxians and Recursionites with Vectorious friends.

- Void

Fake ones? SMILEY

- Void

I suppose I'll be expected to attend...

- Void

I've never seen the need for the removal, honestly.
Two shots while you're sitting is enough to kill you when delivered from an opponent of the same level.

However, if the "you can't sit in combat stance" thing sticks, I'd like to see a removal of the bug where you are always stuck in your combat stance.
I know that one's been around a long, long time.

As for switching between hotbars with hotkeys... Right now, we have numbers to use abilities, and shift+numbers to switch bars. The problem with that is that we don't have 20 numbers, and having something like shift+1-10 and shift+ctrl+1-10 might seem like a good idea, but it would be more likely to switch between the first ten bars on the top hotbar, and the second. Having it do anything else might confuse players.

That said, perhaps we should simply return the old functionality, with an explanation that only the first 10 hotbars are hotkeyed. Then, people would stack their most-useful abilities in the first 10 bars, leaving other bars for supplemental loadouts.

Everyone has their own opinion on this issue... I'm interested in hearing some of them.
(And no, my attributes are already where they are - completely even.)
