Metroplexity

Craftability confirmed =)
Thanks!

Was expecting a signal buffer for some reason *shrug*

Should be craftable again now.

Cheers!
Kinak

A few days ago, I was unable to craft an Industrial Heart because the recipe got screwed up somehow. I'd think the same thing is going on here - send Kinak a PM about it?

Is this still craftable?
Or does the recipe need to be learned? (but I was definitely able to craft this from a bought twitch controller, following the recipe on wiki, some time ago …. I have it in my inventory … now I just want to have it in my recipes too …)

Ocean Eyes/Sight/Song/Touch all together doesn't bias me enough to make the mushrooms not tasty. :P (same message, in other words, although obviously less energy than with Fae Sight).

empty heart gives no extra effect when staring into the drawing or looking for eyes

Ghoul maws don't help you chew it. :P

Though my gang had control of all 4 zones, using a popper after only adventuring in the sewers that day only let me run through the sewers. Perhaps you need to have been there that day while controlling the zone to be able to run through it?

Could someone who's getting a higher number of points see if there's a cap on the number of techniques gained? With a total of 7 points I got as high as 4 techniques. Is the cap 4, 50%+1, or some other formula entirely?

I agree with Valliant's assessment. Also, "points" (XP + # of techniques) seems to depend on both your level and opponent's level.

As a side note, I imagine someone can only wait at one sparring ring.

Fighting battles, with my unbuffed stats ranked as such:

Per: Best
Ref: Worst
Str: Third
Will: Second

Wins: Per/Ref/Str/Wil, Techniques
33: 0/1/1/1, 4
34: 1/0/4/2, 0
35: 2/1/2/0, 2
36: 0/1/4/2, 0
37: 0/3/4/0, 0
38: 0/2/2/1, 2
39: 0/1/2/1, 3

Seems pretty straightforward in general scheme: 7 points, split between stats & techs. Need more data points for more than that. Differences depending on number of wins when you defeat the champ? Is your stat distribution relevant, or will ref & str always get the majority?

Is XP gain based on your/their coinlevel?

Al circles around the sparring ring, waiting for someone to challenge him. The big board shows Al's record at one win.

You enter the ring. Al is strong, but you're stronger. Al is fast, but you're faster. You take him down and soak in the cheers.

You dethrone Al and do a victory lap.

Also, watching the sparring ring:

My results so far:

Vholes Piper circles around the sparring ring, waiting for someone to challenge him. The big board shows Vholes Piper's record at one abdication.

You enter the ring. Vholes Piper is faster and stronger than you. You drag the match out as long as you can, but there's never an opening.

Vholes Piper manages to defeat you for win number 1.

I don't want Fop, goddamn it! I'm a Dapper Dan man!

That's my all time favourite movie…

I don't want Fop, goddamn it! I'm a Dapper Dan man!

Nice predictions. :)

• Two new areas to control in gang warfare
• The Webbed Building will contain clues about the identity of the Weavers, but the Weavers themselves will have abandoned it some time ago.
• There will be clues that the Second Orbital War was started deliberately by Midgard Industries. Internally, Midgard will refer to this war as "Project Ragnarok"
• Lo will turn out to have betrayed you in the past. His current loyalties will still be unclear.
• Evidence will suggest that you were originally opposed to Midgard, but then switched sides.
• An entirely new type of damage will be introduced.
• It will be revealed that there is a plot to introduce Eclipse directly into the atmosphere, so everybody is always on it.
• Hawk will tell you to drop a mission without any questions and you will have the choice whether to take notice of that.
• There will be a chance to run your own business
• You will get at least one of the musicians that you can get chips of as a contact. He will introduce you to a new drug, while talking in a bad English accent. The word "awight" will possibly be overused by him.
• New exciting ways to annoy your opponent will be added to gang warfare, to the delight of clubs across Metroplexity.
• Fop will continue to sneakily edit this post as he thinks of new ideas. He will also speak about himself in the third person, for no discernible reason.

Coming late to the party here, so for some things I just have to agree with earlier posters, e.g. the encrypted PDA probably kicking off the quest one way or another. (I doubt we'll ever see the sea sapphire, though. I'll bet that got turned into the Extreme Tackle Box.) But, hmm, let's see …

Safe, Boring Predictions

• A weapon with a power of 12
• A piece of equipment that grants 4 melee defense or ranged defense
• A chain 8 stealth technique
• Several additions to the ranks of hacking opponents
• A new place to go fishing
• Another chance to pick up a Tome of Binding
• Many misplaced apostrophes. :P

Slightly More Adventurous Predictions

• Abductions galore!
• A non-ghost ship
• An immersive web site
• New, interesting stuff hidden away in the Midgard Warehouse
• The Brothers will make a cameo appearance
• The opportunity to learn to make witchfire
• A sidequest from The Golden Chip
• A new kind of plantable spore, and, in general, Fae Eyes getting a lot more interesting
• A big info-dump on Project Munin
• The opportunity to help Dr. Johnson make his twisted hounds
• The ability to get a student ID and do stuff in the Metroplex U dorms
• Andrea the Grad Student discovers something noteworthy

Swinging for the Fences

• New chemistry component: demon ichor
• Adventuring in the depths of Lake Metroplex with consequent underwater breathing apparatus and/or weird, disturbing substitutes therefor
• A hacking boss fight vs. a twisted AI
• Burned-out car chassis, for us to dream about being able to rebuild after the next main quest line update
• The ability to construct a crude, portable force field device
• An amorphous, shoggoth-ish opponent

Dr A will be more important with the encrypted PDA being necessary to crack

David will have some sort of etherhunting side quest

We'll have another shot at killing off the survivors, including Hel this time

Dr Myer's assistant will get back from the hospital

Someone beat me to this, but the spherical egg will do something, possibly as a sacrifice to the fishmen, or some sort of a corruption that you re-introduce to the fairies.

We'll meet Heimdall, or at least find a lot more about him

You can team up with Hammer if you've done things right

Watson Sr. Will show up, and you can kill him

You can pointlessly murder more people, for negligible benefit. (Whether or not this is true at launch I'll endevor to make happen.)

You can come across gangboss and tony if you let them get away

We'll finally have an in-depth discussion with David about the Ghoul King.

We'll finally be able to make Sea Sapphires.

There will be at least six rewards for the quest.

We will be given a choice adventure with at least one option to do something very, very stupid.

It will be possible to meet a Third Eye member higher ranking than Hawk.

We'll be able to advance the Dr. Thomas quest.

There will be a new type of drone, with an etheric counterpart.
