I've seen her more than I've seen FM-1500's on vector, in fairness. >_>

...

Or is that the other way around...

CHEA

What everyone above said!

The time has come and gone for MxO. It never got the attention it deserved, and never achieved the potential it had, partly due to monolith and partly due to SOE. For me, the best times were in monolith, but SOE has definitely done a good job of dragging out the lifeline of MxO. As much as I love this game and everything that has happened in it, I can't see us being around for too long into the future.

So this thread, along with about the 5 others you made, is indeed, a /facepalm!

SAD FACE ;p

Actually, I have been on Vent with you, but it was a long time ago, so you probably don't remember.  I had not yet reached level 50 on Vector, and I was in Temet Nosce at the time.  You were on Vent with a couple of other TN members, Azterisk and Uzz, if I remember correctly.  When I joined in, you said "Who's Omega?", and one of the other TN members replied "Some badass in our faction."  Hopefully that will jog your memory.

Now can I have those links?

Sorry, Operative. Said links do not exist, just as expected. Just more bipolar bullsh*t.

Underwhelmed again, but sadly that's what most have us have come to expect from Matrix patches. White area K, black headgear, and some coloured 22 vestments which are useless to me for pvp. Same old.

I think I'd be in fair company if I asked what the reason was behind this Hyper change? 

I'm not asking this with a negative intent, but am simply curious as what angle this was looked at and deemed a prudent change.  Assuming the reason and such can be discussed, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only on that would appreciate seeing this from the Development's eyes, to see your reasoning as it were. 

Hope that isn't taken the wrong way, it's just a genuine bit of curiosity.  Thanks!  =D

I think (and you'd have to ask Dracomet to get the non-speculative answer) that the reason was that we actually have this class, called Hacker, that was being discriminated against when it came to defensive abilities everyone can use. So that was straightened out to give the Hacker class a fair shake. And then, to compensate for the due attention that will have to be paid to hackers now, additional defense against the other attack types was added to defensive upgrade abilities; that also has the effect of making the Upgrade Master tree a little more useful than it has been. So, basically the idea as far as I understand it was class balance. It isn't surprising to me that people who primarily play the other classes, and who do a lot of PVP, are going to be concerned about this, but if we want to have the classes balanced--and that has always been the intent, even if it doesn't always work out--then it's necessary to work these things out.

It's just another adjustment.  Everyone will adapt, as we always do.

You want to PvP so you /who, access the situation and plan accordingly.  In that regard, nothing's changed.  The comfort of permanent Deflect has gone so your previous tactics must change slightly.  That's it. 

It's really, really not. Maybe so on Recursion or Syntax. But not Vector.

The zergs will zerg whether all Hypers are granted concurrently, or removed from the game altogether.  Unfortunately, it does give more power to the aforementioned herd, but that just puts the onus on the individual not to get caught up in one. 

This may well be the justification chronic hyperjumpers were looking for, especially when the novelty is fresh and Mara C is awash with DOT's.

Or make it so you can actually have group pvp. Not not continue to make trees like Duelist or MA useless. Because all that happens now, and from the next patch, will get worse is; Interlock....get zerged by knifes and guns and not have any defense to it. And now hacker added on top. Like ex said, interlock now becomes a deathtrap and you push pvp and combat to use spy and hacker to win. Taking it further away from the matrixy feel.

Oh I dunno if it's quite that simple. Like a lot of stuff Dracomet does, it's all based on math and scary stuff like that... Anyway, let's not forget about this and this and this and this and this and this:

-- Deflect Bullets 1.0 has an additional 0.48 points of throw defense per level and adds +10 concentration.
-- Deflect Virus 1.0 has an additional 0.48 points of melee defense per level and adds a 4% negative condition sweep pulse per aura pulse.
-- Personal Firewall 1.0 adds an additional +10 resistance to non-viral damage types and heals about 75 health when terminated.
-- Personal Firewall 2.0 adds an additional +20 resistance to non-viral damage types and heals about 250 health when terminated.
-- Network Firewall 1.0 adds +5 defense to non-viral defense types and restores about 10 IS when terminated.
-- Viral Shielding adds 0.24 defense per level to non-viral defense types and restores about 25 IS when terminated.

Hm... Maybe we could just combine them all into one ability called "Hyper-Win"?

Or you could a Viral Defense buff from another player if its so much trouble...

But /shurg pardon me while I dodge the falling pieces of the sky.

I don't see the issue.  Hackers were stripped of their all-conquering prowess in CR2, so it made little sense to enable Deflect to run along with any other Hyper.  Now you just have to keep your wits about you and switch where applicable, just as you would if you find yourself versus a knifer after a gunmen, for example.

really, really cool event. Grats to yas and da6. Also like yas said, grats to all my team who followed strenlo.

Great fun.
