Do you stand back and use Coder blasts and barrages and statics or do you use those tacky and mundane hand weapons?

I am finding good results when I act as a "state producer" for my Proxy.
I have a couple of enhanced guns that have a chance at producing a certain state and then, based on the Rifle/SubGun/Handgun proxy, I take free-fire attacks of the appropriate style to double my chances at producing a favorable state for my proxy to take advantage of.

This works better for me than standing back and zapping the mobs...

After a 2 year run, I am finally poised to hit 50!

There will be a small gathering of well wishers at the HyperCube monument at Mara Central on New Year's Day at 1pm EST. Nothing Big. Just a bunch of us Children of the Code watching me break 50 by Coding at once used to be the Coding Center of Megacity.

Feel free to stop by and say hey.

And a little shout out to Jarobi who I watched hit 50 a few days ago downtown. You only turn 50 once and it was an honor to be there when he did. I hope to see him in the crowd...

So there I was, farming for Operative Subroutines with my Submachine gun proxy.

The proxy was set for Aggressive. I ran back to the hardline to decomp and check the market. I totally forgot about the proxy. I don't recall where I left her but she was wandering the alleys destroying Assassins. I just followed the trail of dead bodies and found her at the end of an alley just waiting.

All that was needed was her to say to me "OK. What next?"

Time for another post to ask for some dev time on this. We USED to have it. It's been at least a year since last it worked. It is a troublesome thing not knowing what the actual item is you are compiling without re-checking it manually in the Code Analyzer. And even this doesn't work since we now have multiple items with the same name!

And for the record, I would trade a thousand /afk-type mods for the ability to see what an item's details were in the Code Compiler.

I went to check the data base there and I got something about.... clothing.
Regular clothing.
Boring clothing.

Any info?

In no particular order...

1. Infiltrate/courier missions that do not start off with "Kill Andromeda..."
2. Infiltrate/courier missions that do not start off with "Escort Andromeda..."
3. More than 15 forum topics per page
4. Item Details in the Compiler window, the way they used to be.
5. Auto Range Attack to keep attacking automatically even after you use a special ability.
6. Searchable Marketplace
7. Flat Rate email fees.

Enough for now. Feel free to join in...

Is there a way to tweak the number of topics/messages per page? That setting used to be part of the profile and it is now nowhere to be found.

Clues?

The reason I ask is that I found that Gunslinger was a wee underpowered in combat. I coded up submachineguns and took an off-the-rack Dual FM11 setup. I found that Controlled Burst hits 500-600 regularly and the Sliding Volley did over 1000. I am level 40.

As far as I know, there is NOTHING in Duelist that comes close. Am I wrong here?

After a long bit of real life induced time off, I am back and I am staying. Just thought I would say that to counterbalance all the quitting. And here is why...

Last night my lowbie alt was asked at Tabor for some help. I relogged with my high level main and coded up a storm of abilities for a couple people. They were so appreciative and so enthusiastic.

THAT is why I consider myself a Coder first and any faction second.
THAT is why I am in Children of the Code.
THAT is why I am staying.

Thanks for your time, I feel better now...

After being away for a while, I jacked in and found one of my favorite (read: Irritating) bugs was still there.

Mousing over an item in your Code Compiler still doesn't show the item details the way it used to. Makes it real irritating especially now that there are several identically named items with differring buffs...

But I'm not bitter...

You must realize the truth: There is no post. Then you will see it is not the post that has moved, only yourself.

(Moved to Missions and Storyline)

Is it just me or do you feel a little underwhelmed when you get to the end of a critical mission, you get your face time with a main personality,
you get your 'Atta Boy!' speech and then,
as a token of their esteem,
to show that you are truly a mover and a shaker,
an irreplaceable operative for the cause,
someone who gets things done,
a veritable hero of the faction,

They give you a Magenta 5% AntiViral Catsuit.
Or an enhanced rifle that you got for the first time like 5 levels ago.
Or some opposite-gender shoes with 4% Damage Reduction.

"Gee thanks, Niobe! I really appreciate the purple catsuit. I decomped like 5 of them so far but yours is EXTRA special. I really look forward to using the 2 Bit1s, 3 Bit2s and 1 Bit4 I'll get from it to make some Tactics Boosters as soon as I leave this meeting and get to a hardline..."

How about something with a little more meat to it. I understand that you don't want the market flooded with cool items but jeez, I pull better loot off a single 3-chevron Orange Mob...

It's Monday morning and yes, I feel better now.

I find that the 4 extra meters range between that and the Stinger is desirable for my Proxy Coder loadout.

Thanks...

How long can emails stay in your Inbox?

Do they ever get automatically deleted? For instance, I have all those neat in-game lists that davemusic sent out and was wondering if they would get deleted once they get too old....

Is it still planned to have a collector re-imburse us or are we stuck with the Zen Master abilities? I am sure there are a lot of us out there that levelled those skills and were hoping to get our $Info back for the coding and the cost of levelling. I happened to be at max storage and found the old abilities still there taking up space. I can't even email them to a mule.

Just wondering...

Anyone else notice this?

A forum search yielded nothing.

Nice red herring....

Or not?

And why did you choose it?

I am Captain of the Grand Illusion.

The name struck a chord with me (no pun)
as the Matrix is, itself, an illusion. It was kind of an homage
to the whole idea of the Matrix. It is also the name of that Styx album and the imagery of crossing over from one world to the next worked pretty well in a Matrixey context.

So there. SMILEY

Thanks for the idea, Detrius! SMILEY

The rules for limericks are much more confusing but I think we can let
fly. Just follow the flow and the beat. For those that want
the exercise, surf here for the 'proper' way to do limericks.

A hacker named Neo once slumbered

Dreaming through dreams unencumbered

Taken away

From his normal day

He told us Machine Days were numbered

Is it just me or does this Agent Pace character rub you the wrong way? (Keep it clean, people)

I mean, 'she' seems to dilute the magic that makes Agents,
Agents. The aloofness and the logic that were Agent/Machine
trademarks are tossed aside This new 'interface' has made my skin
crawl the way no other piece of tech has since Microsoft's Office
Assistant came out...

After reading the recent message to RedPills everywhere, the whole "
Ciao Riossopillolos..." affectation sounds a little too Merovingian for my liking.

Mero has French. (Fraaaaaanch)

Machines have Italian.

Will Zion have German? Or Southern Drawl?

"Y'all goan be sorry y'all came barkin' roun' ZION's porch, I'll tell you what...."

heh.

Just to clarify, I have Machinist tendencies.

Ask my Faction-mates.

I have been trying to get them to be Machinist since Beta. SMILEY

It's just that the mystique that made the Agents special (no pun) is gone with Agent Pace.

Finally made one... So...very.....lazt... SMILEY

With a little luck, they will be difficulty 20 so I will have a use for my dif-20-only Interfaces... SMILEY

I think that the analogy Walrus made that pre-patch Coding was like getting double your money back is flawed.

reference: http://mxoboards.station.sony.com/matrix/board/message?board.id=coder&message.id=66

Think of it more like priming a pump. You are putting a small
amount of water into the pump that will then allow you to pump many
gallons for the small initial investment. Eventually you have to
re-prime
the pump but until then, you get a better return on it. The idea
of coding a recipe that will work for a while until you have to recode
it fits very well into the whole Matrix theme. Data streams can
be tapped and superhuman abilities can be manifested and the very
fabric of the Matrix can be bent to the will of the player. Why
not create code that uses the very data that is flowing around us to
create new items. The argument made it sound like we coders were
getting something for nothing. However, that point of view does
not factor in the time and effort and $Info investment we make to have
those skills.

No matter how you cut it, Coding alone is not going to get you to Level
50. If you look at the $Info it takes to level up coding, and
look at the Experience you get for coding things, there is no way that
Coding can work as a career path. You MUST be something else. And
yet the devs have chosen to 'balance' things by slowing down this
secondary skill set? It seems as though the balance-point is
randomly set.

What troubles me most is that this came out of the blue. There
are plenty of discussions on Hackers and Spies and Knife Throwers but
there was nothing mentioned in the Feedback threads about Coding
changes and balancing issues. Actually, there WAS discussion about coding but that
focused on AutoStacking. These latest changes seem to have been
thrown into the patch without due diligence.

Why not, right?

Following the 5-7-5 syllable pattern is easy, right? Not if you are trying to say something.... SMILEY

So just for yucks, I coded up Data Miner and started wandering around tapping.

You know, it is a very sedate, very mellow pasttime. Kind of like
collecting butterflies, I suppose. It is the ideal thing to load
up while you are scouting areas of MegaCity for a new event or for a
new faction hideout.

Even if you don't tap nodes, wandering around with the goggles on is very Matrixey.

Do YOU hate showing up at a party looking like everyone else?
Tired of the same old purple clothes?
The Children of the Code on Recursion Server have the answer!

Our Coders are ALWAYS available to set YOU up with the fashionable clothes you have been looking for!

Or is it abilities you want?
Come to us for that new skill tree you have always DREAMED about trying out.
FEEL the thrill of dropping a Logic Bomb on a pack of Furies!
SEE how the Bathary Boys like the taste of your new Swirling Ki Summon!

The Children of the Code on Recursion Server
Coding at a Hardline near you.....

Time to pose that age-old question...

Do we know what the maximum skill levels are for each experience level and how they are derived?

The Children of the Code, arguably the oldest faction in the Matrix dedicated to coding, are looking for new members.

We have been around since early Beta
providing items and abilities to Redpills throughout MegaCity.
Our reputation within the community speaks for itself and our members
are always there to lend a hand as needed. The highly acclaimed
Matrix Online Graphic Novels "Honor In Betrayal", "Honor in Betrayal
Pt. 2" and "Tragedy of Rebirth" came from our own Traxada and the
creative minds in the CotC.

People from every faction in the Matrix
look to us to code their abilities or to create that special outfit for
a live event. Our award winning outfit designers are legendary
from Polyvinyl to Succubus to Deus. If you enjoy creating
something impressive from virtually nothing, then the Children of the
Code are for you.

Megacity 2017

(Apologies to Billy Joel)

Seen the lights go out on Park East

I saw MegaCity laid low

And life went on back on the hovercraft

We all ate Tastee Wheat

It seems so long ago

They held a concert out in Mannsdale

To watch the island bridges blow

They turned our power down

And drove us underground

But we went right on with the show

I've seen the lights go out on Park East

I saw the ruins at my feet

You know we almost didn't notice it

We'd seen it all the time, on every Richland street

They burned down Succubus in Stamos

Like the very pits of hell

The flames were ev'rywhere

But no one really cared

It always burned up there before

I've seen the lights go out on Park East

I watched the mighty skyline fall

The boats were waiting down at Bathary

The union went on strike

They never sailed at all

They sent a hover' out to Mara

And picked some Coders up for free

They said Kowloon could stay

And blew Magog away

And then sank Chelsea out at sea

You know those lights were bright on Park East

That was so many years ago

Before we all lived here in Sobra Shores

Before Exiles went and took over Kedemoth

There are not many who remember

They say a handful still survive

To tell the world about

The way the lights went out

And keep the memory alive...
