Because we haven't got enough to argue about; here's my idea of a Grenadier Tree. Keep in mind I haven't sat down and worked out the balancing algorithm so most of the data you see here is approximate. If anything is unclear, feel free to ask questions. If I've made some glaring mistake somewhere then I'm open to altering things until it works.

This tree is designed to make use of as much existing code as possible - all of the animations and FX already exist and only one new mechanic will have to be constructed.

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do."

Hi, I recently upgraded from a Geforce 6600 LE to the 7600 GT. What sort of settings/useropts/options should I be using to get the best out of this card with MxO?

Thank you XXT.

In The Animatrix: World Record the main character 'Dan Davis' frees his mind at great cost to his 'shell' body in the Matrix. Rather than being flushed, his connection to the system is reinforced and he presumably continues his life as a (possibly catatonic) cripple. While his body in the Matrix is irreparably damaged, he remains perfectly healthy in the real. So long as his mind is not lost it should be possible to give him a true Awakening although it's hard to say wether he could function as a Redpill.
This example, though, opens up a range of questions about how differences between the Matrix world and the Real world are handled. The key question revolves around Morpheus' quote; "The mind makes it real" but there are numerous others equally as interesting.

Are damaged individuals inserted by the Machines or disposed of?
Could a damaged individual have a fully functioning body in the Matrix?
Could a damaged bluepill be 'healed' via awakening?
Could a redpill become disabled in the real as a result of critical injury in the Matrix?

Use this thread to post your own questions and discuss the possiblities.

I often get asked about my name 'GypsyJuggler'. Contrary to popular belief I don't actually juggle gypsies. A while back I did some juggling for an associate of mine who needed the footage for a tertiary school project of some kind. I finally got a hold of a copy of the finished product and thought I'd post it here for peoples general amusement. I'll add another video or two later on when I have more time.

Hey, found this. Thought it might entertain some people and get a discussion going.

Excerpt:

The gates open. As soon as the Hammer enters the dock, they blow the EMP. All the Sentinels DIE.

AN OPERATOR: Wow. We hadn't thought of that to defend the city.

COMMANDER LOCK: You fool. Of course we thought of that. But it would have been too easy to defend the city by triggering a set of timed EMPs one after another, or to rig the tunnels with EMPs. There would be no fight. And what would we do then with all the workstations and the CG software we got for the previous movie? Besides, you'll see there are more Sentinels ready.

AN OPERATOR: Right. Sorry, sir. I forgot it was obvious to use EMPs way back when at the beginning of the war too, instead of screwing up the climate for no reason.

COMMANDER LOCK: Now you're getting it.

I thought it would be a good idea to have a seperate thread for feedback on the event. This way the main thread doesn't get clogged with people saying "OMG this is so cool!". Hopefully feedback supplied here can be used in the future planning of events like this one. Please share with us what you like and dislike about A:B and why you feel that way.

---

My favourite thing about A:B right now is how so much of it is going on 'IRL' but operatives still have to jack in to do the dirty work. There's investigation of websites and strange phone calls to deal with and then you jack in for clandestine meetings, surveillance and revolution. It's really delivering that 'Matrix feel' that we all love so much.
The only thing I don't like is that I don't have enough spare time to make the most of the event.

In order to reduce the number of locked threads and bannings taking place I have created this thread on the SOE boards. Please refrain from use of 'excessive negativity' in both forums. I feel we have an honest grievance but it's important we seek to get it addressed in the appropriate manner. Thanks for you support in this.

Okay, shoot me for being vain.

I'm looking to buy Buffed UnderArmor of any level and any color - trying to collect the lot you see. I have some (but not all) level 50 ones already and no lower level ones at all.

I should be by later to update this post with the exact ones I have so far.

Not too long ago we had a lively debate about wether or not to restrict area effect heals and buffs to team only. That discussion took place here. Since the end of May the proposed changes have been in effect. We've had some time now in which to experience the new workings of those abilities and see how they effect PvP, PvE and life in general.
Please use this thread to post your feedback.

As you may have figured I recently upgraded my computer somewhat. I thought I'd post specs here in hope that an expert would be able to tell me the best graphical options to use while playing MxO. I've probably included unnecessary information and excluded important information so feel free to bother me until you find out what you need to know.

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I feel like a newbie for having done this, but when I installed Path of Neo I accidentally put it in the same folder as 'Monolith Productions' but not in it's own folder. This would be fine except that the update patch things I also downloaded for PoN seem to have fubared it and now it won't recognise the disc. So in order to have something to play while MxO is down I have to figure out how to remove PoN without accidentally removing MxO at the same time. I seem to remember hearing that the MxO files can be moved around and will still work perfectly because the instal doesn't have to look to a specific location. Is this at all true? If I move 'Monolith Productions' somewhere safe while I uninstall PoN, will my game still work? Thanks in advance.

I thought I'd take a moment to let Raijinn know about an issue we often experience here at MxO. Hopefully we can get some constructive feedback and move towards identifying and solving the problem.

Please do not use this thread to let your skeletons out of the closet. Please do not discuss specifics of past CSR actions. Please do not post your opinion of any CSR or MxO staff member. Please do nothing to break the Eula or CoC or ToS or any other group of letters that shouldn't be broken.

The problem goes something like this: A player writes a CCR ticket about another player. This may be for any number of reasons - rivalry, misunderstanding, revenge, religeon, or just plain not knowing what's going on. The CSRs, as part of their job, are required to deal swiftly and firmly with the reported player. Whatever action is taken appears to players to be lacking in judgement, proof, reason, justice, fairness, truth, investigation, or perhaps all of these. Disgruntled players take to the forums in order to post their feelings, opinions or proofs in support of one or another of the people allegedly involved. Spam and flames ensue. Inevitably the thread(s) are locked down by a moderator citing that CSR action may not be discussed in the forums. Many players are left feeling angry, hurt or frustrated at the lack of closure on the subject, which by then matters dearly to them.

It seems to be the view of the community that a significant number of good and decent players have been banned unfairly in this manner at the hands of certain other players. I'm sure some people would like to point fingers, but please, this is not the place to do so. I understand that the CSRs are 'just doing their job', but this problem has cropped up time and again apparently persecuting people who were 'just playing the game'. The community backlash that always happens after these incidents is a major concern to me and, I think, many other players.
So I'm letting you know before it happens, Raijinn. I know all the threads are stored away where you can see them. Dig them up, dust them off, and let us know if you can help.

Once again, please do not post flames, spam, or anything else that you just plain shouldn't in this thread. It's for constructive feedback. Not Pandora's Box.

Today I was cycling around at work (delivering the mail) and suddenly realised I didn't have my evade shield up. Then I remembered it was Real Life but I couldn't shake the feeling that there was nothing to stop a car from InterLocking me..

Anyway, does anyone else have any RL MxO Moments they'd like to share?

What do you make of this?

The being calling itself 'Shade' is still at large and is hunting PeterForee and MitchelClaibourne. We suspect it is an exile and it seems to have the ability to posess a victim for a period of time. Shade seems to have spoken through MitchelClaibourne before and more recently a woman named CandySimmons.

He claims to have her child hostage and says he will exchange the child for Peter and Mitchel, if we can find them. The Aes Sedai and Anges Sans Ailes are on the case and would appreciate any help available. Further information can be found at http://www.angessansailes.com/news_...uickupdates.php

Anyone with leads on seperated bluepills should contact Gitano or ZurielSeven as soon as possible.

RomeoMarnius, another separated bluepill reminiscient of PeterForee, has left his corporeal form. He wished to let the world know of what he has become. I will post the full story tomorrow when I've had the chance to go through my screenshots.

Just as the Matrix reflects the Real, so does the Real reflect the Matrix. Here is where you can post pictures or short stories about the times this happens to you.

We can all understand the limits of distance in a game like this, or rather the limits of a graphics card. But it seems to me that if you can't show detail at range of a wide area, you should at least be able to show detail at range of a small area. The use of binoculars already limits your field of vision, so sure, you are drawing information from much farther than usual but so long as you don't try to move the viewfinder too fast, you should be able to get by on a manageable amount of visual information. I don't know the lingo used by programmers for these things nowadays but I hope I've explained it well enough to get the idea across.
Essentially, there's a lot of times when I'd like to be able to see what's going on further off. Like when scouting from the rooftops, or hunting gang bosses. A handy pair of binoculars would serve the purpose well without putting too much strain on the connection or my video card. Anyone have ideas or input?

I'd like windows to serve a greater purpose than just being things to see through. I love how you can see the outside world through the windows in the Matrix but there's more potential there. What if windows were coded more like doors? Coded in such a way that you could open a window and fire through it. Coded in such a way that you could smash it open and leap to safety.

I'd like to shimmy up a drain pipe and swing in through a broken window to reach my mission area. I'd like to scope sniper shots from the fifth floor of the building across the street. I'd like to crash in through a skylight or burst out into safety.

We have a wonderful 3d (more or less) world at our disposal and this is just one more way we can make it more deep, exciting, and realistic.

One of the things I got excited about when I first got the game was the suggestion of running missions against other players. I'm not sure where I got this idea, maybe I misread a review or invented it myself without noticing. Either way, I was disappointed not to see it.
A whole new dimension of gameplay could be added to MxO with the concept of Contested Missions.
Essentially the idea is this; When two or more players of the same level but different factions request a mission from a contact at about the same time, the game sets them a mission working against each other.

For example:
I request an escort mission from my contact who sends me to a building to pick up the person to be escorted.
While I am en-route an operative from another faction but of my level requests an assassination mission and is sent co-ordinates that describe the locations where I will be picking up and dropping off my charge.
I make the pick up and head for the drop-off point and my operator warns me that someone is on their way to stop me.
The opposing operative approaches my mission on an intercept course and eventually we run into each other.
The mission resolves depending on who survives.

There are a great many possibilities from the very complex - adding several operatives to a mission with changing parameters - to the very simple such as a direct assassination of another player.
I know it would be much more satisfying to kill 'Aardvark' after having defeated the player guarding him rather than an anonymous 'Merovingian Selective Phage' or somesuch.
It would probably have to be an optional feature though. Perhaps involving the creation of three more mission contacts so that you could choose a regular mission or a contested mission depending on who you called.

Anyone else have ideas about this sort of thing? I think it would be an excellent way to expand upon the great virtues of this game.

How many times have you hung out at Mara and thought 'Boy, I could do with a coffee.' How many times have you sat at Tabor with your belly rumbling? I'd like to see some shops in the Matrix - to add to the 'flavour' of the game. How about having a coffee-house on a street corner, or a bakery just down the street.? I'd like to be able to *CENSORED* into a shop to grab a snack and a soft-drink between missions. I'd like to see grocery stores that actually sell groceries. I'd like to see petrol stations with bluepills filling up their cars. I'd like to see the shopping malls finished. I'd like to see a weapon vendor actually in a gun shop. I'd like to wander into a shopping mall and take the escalator upstairs to buy my designer sunglasses from the clothing vendor.

All these things would make the Matrix more real and more fun to be in. Hopefully it would also give those bored level 50's something else interesting to do. Imagine getting an ice cream in the foodcourt and taking the elevator downstairs to the parking garage where you get jumped by enemy operatives. Imagine doing a 'mission' for your local pastry chef because he's all out of flour. I don't expect it to happen overnight, but a move in this direction would be more than welcome.

Features like this would add so much extra depth to the world and truly set the Matrix Online apart from other multiplay games.
