Never happened to me before that I can remember anyways.

Thanks

Why is this even an issue? Does it matter if you win or lose against someone using a T.B? Why would'nt someone use the T.B's? Does it make you less of a player if you use T.B's or vice-versa if you do't use them? I guess I just don't understand what all the fuss is about. Are'nt you expected to use consumables during gameplay? We all have the same options, so if someone uses them, what does it matter? I guess I can understand not using them when you duel somebody, since you want to test your skills and abilities, but in pvp, who cares who uses what.

Maybe the issue here is more of the trashtalking that happens when someone lives or dies. Personally I feel it is a rather small percentage of players that are like that.  Especially during pvp, I think with all the other factors going on during pvp battles, Tactic Boosters are among the smallest things that can determine whether you live or die. I feel it is the same thing on these forums, it is a small percentage of players that actually voice their opinions about the game, but yet, its this small percentage of players that get changes made. Are we gonna have some sort of effect for every consumable now that lasts as long as the consumable does on the user? This does'nt seem right to me, and I guess I am the only one who feels this way. Maybe because I don't pvp as much as others, but I don't see why this is even an issue.

In the end, it all comes down to personal opinion.  You are, of course, fully entitled to use every single consumable/boost/advantage available to you if wish.  I'm in the tiny minority in believing that you should fight on your own merit, and not use any external buffs or boosts.  This isn't a thread about removing the buffs from the game (If wishing made it so), or admonishing those who use them to their distinct advantage. 

Countless numbers of times, I've either cultivated or been faced with a 1v1 during PvP, and the opposing player has TB'd in front of me before they'll engage.  I have no problem with this, as they've made no bones about it and I can call them on it if their assisted victory comes with added bragging.  What I do want to eliminate is the covert boosting.  I'll give you a brief scenario to illustrate my point:

Players who will not engage when you catch them 1v1.  They repeatedly Hyper-Jump away after you've chased them for however long you've bothered to, then come back and suddenly have no problem with standing their ground, and are beyond impressively proficient in interlock.  They then spew the same old, boring, tiresome trash-talk about how much they 'pwn' etc, etc.  This occurs every time you face them 1v1.  You ask if they boosted on this occasion, and a denial is invariably forthcoming.  Whilst this is their prerogative, it doesn't help in making the fight useful.

My point is, you can only measure your own competence by pitting yourself against others.  If they've won because they TB'd, then I'd like to know so that I can take it into account.  If they've won a clean fight, then I can review the fight and try to identify how to improve.

With stacking being such a prevalent issue, I'd like the opportunity to uncover as much secrecy as I can in order to facilitate unbiased combat review, amongst other things.

Sidenote:
I reside on Vector, where the PvP is vastly more sporadic, spontaneous and smaller in scale.  I agree that a TB used in mass PvP is not a guarantee of victory, or a huge deal.  A TB used in a 2v1 or a 1v1 is an advantage that I'd like to know about.  For example, if I see an opposing MA and hacker who is boosted, I probably won't risk getting into IL with the hacker.  If they're not, then I'll certainly give it a go.  There's no harm in having this 'green pip' confirmation whatsoever, and only potential benefits.

To respond to your final question, I'd love to see an effect/symbol/written confirmation of buffs.  If someone has received a CT/Health regen boost (ie, the ones you can't tell from looking), then yes I'd like to know about it before attempting to engage a couple of players.  I'd be interested in hearing what you mean by that not being 'right', as again, I see nothing but potential gain. 

 

I guess this is more of a trashtalking issue than anything else, it seems to me. If you lose to someone using a booster, then they are a dirty fighter to you, as you pointed out it was a clean fight only if they dont use one. You even said if you see them use one and then they win, that you call them out on it. What are you calling them out on, they didnt do anything wrong.That makes no sense to me. It is not like cheating by using a booster, but that seems to be how you are putting it. That someone that is using the boosters is less of a fighter and maybe, person. That might be what I mean when I said it doesnt seem right to me. Now anyone that uses a tactic booster is going to be looked down upon? And I can just imagine the trashtalking that will go on when someone using a booster loses. I mean, that seems to be the whole reason you guys want this. So that when you now kill someone who is using one you can bash them that you still won, or you kill someone that you always suspected of boosting, who doesnt now, because of the new animation, you can bash them cause you dominate them now.

Using boosters or getting buffs is not a secret tactic. Because some people are stacking clothes or doing anything else, to gain an advantage,  doesnt mean we should change other things to help level the playing field. Those I would consider secretive tactics since they are basically cheating, but using a booster when you werent around when I did it is not a secret move that is going to make me a pwnstar.

Personally, I dont get involved in any form of trashtalking, whether I win or lose. People that do it don't concern me, whether its because they won or lost, I don't care. When I play MXO I don't let my emotions get the best of me. Maybe thats why I don't get this whole thing. I don't see why, as you stated, this tiny minority, has such a big voice to get something changed. So you and others dont like when you get killed because that person might or might not have used a tactic booster, is that a reason to make such a big change to the game.  This is not going to make trashtalking go away or even make it a little bit better. Probally will get even worse. You said you see nothing but potential gain. I see nothing but negativity coming from this as you and others now will have a new way to bash others, but this time you will be in the right, because you saw little bips on thier hands and you still killed them anyways. Now you can trashtalk about how good you are because you won even though they boosted, which in no way is deserved upon the user of a booster, as it is not wrong, in any way, to use them. 

Why is this even an issue? Does it matter if you win or lose against someone using a T.B? Why would'nt someone use the T.B's? Does it make you less of a player if you use T.B's or vice-versa if you do't use them? I guess I just don't understand what all the fuss is about. Are'nt you expected to use consumables during gameplay? We all have the same options, so if someone uses them, what does it matter? I guess I can understand not using them when you duel somebody, since you want to test your skills and abilities, but in pvp, who cares who uses what.

bit   %return

1      13%

2       didnt include in the numbers as you get too many of these from any items, lol

3      21%

4      8%

6      0

7      35%

8      8%

Hope that helps

I to had a great time at Fan Faire.  At first, when I saw the schedule of events and there was only 3 things listed for mxo, I was a little concerned. However, after meeting Rarebit, Machete, Tseng and Mantra at the VooDoo Lounge, my feelings quickly shifted. Meeting all the others the following day was  even a greater surprise. Having our meals with Rare and Walrus was a added bonus. And Bayamos, you know that was the best *CENSORED* water you ever had, lol.  Everybody was super cool. I give alot of thanks to Rarebit and Walrus for hanging out with us so much.  I think every night we got kicked out of every event because we were the last ones hanging out, talking mxo, etc.  Man, I added up the hours of sleep I got from Wednesday night till Sunday morning and it was only 12. I just got back home tonight.

The MXO Devs didnt have to spend all their time with us, but they DID!! They are truly awesome fellas and it shows how much they care about our community! I learned about the game and I am grateful I was able to attend. It was nice to meet some other mxo players since I didnt know anyone that was going and I agree with you guys that it was like being with a group of friends. I still have spots in my eyes from all the flashes from Havocides camera, I think he probally took about 500 pictures plus video! He should publish a video album.

Anyways, thanks to everyone and it was great meeting all of you, and I hope everyone got home safely, especially those traveling abroad.

I have to agree with you Bayamos.  Had it not been the fact that our group was smaller than the rest, we would not have gotten the attention we did from the devs.  I felt like we were all hanging with a bunch of friends than game developers.  I had the opportunity to have lunch and dinner with Walrus and Rarebit, and they treated us great.  They answered all our questions to the best of their abilities, and they made every effort to make us feel comfortable and welcome.  Everyone who I met was very cool and I am glad that I had the opportunity to meet them. 

At times I had the feeling that were kind of the bastard child of the Fanfaire.  I even overheard a gamer who walked by one of our discussion panels and said "OMG, they (SOE) still support that game? Do people still play that?"  YES WE DO! I did'nt let any of that burst my bubble because it was our community members there that kept my spirits up.  What made me feel the most pride in our community was when we were at the SOE Banquet and how everyone at our tables cheered and yelled whenever MXO was called out by the MC hosting it.   We were small but we made sure that people heard us.  In the end people saw how we represented our game and respected our passion for The Matrix Online.  I dare say we got a few converts over to try and take a look at what makes this game so special. 

Thanks to Rarebit, Walrus, Rajinn, Brewko, Moonlite, and especially all The Matrix Online players who made it out to Vegas and made this trip as unforgetable as it was!

Big QFT on these two posts.

Ezer, found enough room for those banners?

You pwn, for that ;P

i noticed that if i compile a bunch of pills or boosters it seems to happen quite often. So what I do is compile a bunch of pills then do some clothes and it seems i get a better chance of getting the extra purity dot on the clothes. I am wondering if it has to do with the volume or amount of items you are compiling in a given time frame. Well it just seems to work that way for me anyways.

I will be there. Driving in from Texas. Vegas baby!
