This and the next page. BTW I missed another thing they were going to have 3d maps. That could have led to building wars/faction buildings with certain targets that needed to get hacked in order for that building to remain a factions. Also there could have been a logo with on the building itself (maximum 1 per faction to limit bandwidth issues) to show that it was the factions building.

I couldn't believe the ideas they had for this game in the beginning. Faction wars with Faction luggables (that sounds unbelievably cool). Dual fighting as a interlock skill. Last and certainly not least your own constructs with DEV TOOLS. That would have been a cash cow, I will tell you right now that right there would have changed the game. I would have paid an extra 15 a month to have that. If you guys haven't look at the forum please do you will be stunned what this game could have been

Before I start I will say that everything will be in past tense as well. I left for 2 years, just coming back for Rare's farewell and the rest of my sub (I'm going to get my $15 worth). Not one thing has changed, you still farm, farm, farm, pvp, crit missions and thats it. 

Now that the negative is out of the way, The Matrix Online was something unique. It had the best community I have ever seen in a game. I was gone for 2 years and came back earlier this month and it felt as though nothing changed. This community was one of the most vocal and passionate I have seen for its size. I think the reason everyone stayed was because we wanted something more. If there was ever a game made for an MMO it was the Matrix. I think all of us saw the potential and kept hoping for more. Even as of today proof of this is happening, by expecting  "the surprise" to be something monumental. But that said, it does a lot of justice to the community that alot of us came back not so much for the game, but because of the community.

I will never forget my early time in Shadows of the Infinite with Serious and the rest of the original gang. There were a lot of ups and downs especially towards the latter but I look at it overall as a great expeirience. Then my move to Morpheus' Legacy with some of the most dedicated and skilled gamers I have ever played with. They taught me more about team-work and sacrificing for the greater good than they will ever know.  MxO now is a great memory to me, yes I still am here for the remainder of my sub, but I got my closure during the final PVP on vector until we battled and strategized until we could do no more.

So with that goodbye my MxO friend you will always be remembered as the game that had more potential than any other but in the end it finally had to come to a close because the even with an unbelievable community the game just DID NOT live up to its potential.                                                                                                                                                                                                          

I'm just glad only a few were around me when I saw that this morning in vector....

If I wanted to have my same gear turn a different color and be "surprised" I would throw a pink shirt in my white laundry.... 

How about different colored items that we already have.... Oh wait that was the surprise...

Just a fantastic fight and a great way for MxO closure for me. We definitly had the longest fight and proved that Vector has the best pvpers

I was always for a server merge but after seeing the population lately, I don't see why they haven't. Going to Mara C on Vector during prime hours there might be 20 people on a good night. Merge so that MxO doesn't feel like a ghost town.

so what is the surprise

Was a great time. It was also great to see all the old vets. It's amazing after two years that I've been gone how many people are still here or came back. It really is a testament to the community, just a shame the game play isn't up to that standard. Well as I said I am not re-subbing and after I check out Friday's update with the special surprise (don't hold your breath haha) it is back to other things. It was a pleasure

EPN/Zion won on Vector. In the end I had to remove health regeneration from the event characters because my machine hosting Pace and Ookami was throwing fits today. Zion/EPN kept up steady heals on Ghost.

 

You might have removed your health regeneration but Skybruin and I made sure we put it back

Just stunning...

Rare,

Since you are leaving and I'm sure you have the power to do this. Do you think you could reinstate Zen Master for the massive PVP, it would be a cool thing for a limited time only for the people that have been around the longest. BTW I came back here just for your leaving after a 2 year absence.

EC

WTB Headgear just name a price and we can talk.

Hello Renon,
 
 The difficulty in life is the choice...
If you choose wisely, You will never go down the wrong path.Let us lead you through the desert...
 -Morpheus' Legacy, Fight for Humanity.

I don't know whats harder to do. Listening to your ignorant ranting or looking at your disgusting face. Probably the latter. In regards to "breaking of the truce" building a new place to live would hardly qualify as a threat to the machines. A place where Zion actually feels safe and has some sort of control over our future. I'm sorry that the Architect feels threatened but then again he must have 100% control or he will have a fit. Understand this, we are going to become equals whether you like it or not and just a little message to all of your blue comarades: You have awoken a sleeping giant and we will continue to hunt all of you down.

"The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."

Join his legacy and we will help you reach your potential.

When's the last time you PvPed ECW? I'm not being a *CENSORED*, just saying I haven't seen you online for ages.

Is what you said here based on before the latest two weeks or not? MKTs were just nerfed pretty bad. And as for IL, I'm not quite sure what you're complaining about. MAs can absolutely tear apart MKTs, more now than ever.

Otherwise, I have pages and pages of responses to this sort of claim that I can go paste if we really must get into this sort of abstract discussion.

Just a little question...

but have you ever used the tree itself?
coz most ppl judge to fast while they never ever used the tree themselves.

Yes I have used it and found it to be quite overpowered for the reasons listed above.

As an MxO veteran I have been here since beta. The game has had its ups and downs but has mostly been fixed. I reside on Vector and  have been pvping back since the days of enumerator. Now I would say the combat system is pretty balanced if you know what you are doing. MA are the power interlock and you can mix/match for accuracy with aikido, guns are about accuracy and can be increased in power with sniper, Viral is out of interlock accuracy, which the damage can be increased by debuffing, but that leads us to the one tree that is completly out of balance. The Master knife thrower tree. I will break it down in to a few specific categories which I have come to this conclusion.

Well, MAs can easily kill me as a hacker, I think MAs are completely out of balance and need a nerf.

MA's were designed to be just an interlock way of fighting. Hackers out of interlock.

 1. The ability and accuracy to root. If you can hold someone still obviously it is easier to kill them. An MKT has the ability to root in and out of interlock, the accuracy to do it and many abilities to do it. MKT also has an incredible long root. MA doesn't even have this ability, guns do, however it barely hits and cannot be done in IL. Viral abilities can match this however cannot be pulled off in IL.

Many abilties? Two, one of them bugged and both break with ANY damage. I don't consider that many. Also, hackers have longer roots.

Actually there are more than two. Neuro-dart, Crippling throw, Deadly Throw, Paralyzing throw and Sever Artery. All which hinder your movement speed

2. Accuracy of ability: Obviously if you can hit someone you can kill them faster. All abilities are pretty well balanced each of the trees can hit pretty likely. However in Interlock MKT's can hit abilities back to back to back. Not only this but some abilities feed of each i.e.  when someone is a certain state throwing a certain abilities which will make them powerless or stunned. No other tree can do this.

No, but the problem is that MKTs, unlike guns or MAs, don't have the melee/ballsitic accuracy to use normal rolls (i.e speed, power, grab) to get the opponent into states. The chances of knives causing a state are 20%, which are lower than the chances in regular moves. Also, if I get you staggered, I can get your powerless. Big deal. If you get me staggered, you can Ki Sweep + Ki Punch me into the concrete. Want to trade?

True, however most if not all MKT's use Suplex. Thus, creating the states automatically to stun/cause powerless as they please. Once this happens it doesn't matter that they have lower melee/ballistic accuracy as you know a good MKT will just throw specials.

 

 3. Power of the ability: Obviously MA is the winner here. It is meant to be the power interlock . However arguably the most powerful move in the game is Punt. Not only can you do this without starting in interlock you can do this while in sneak. If you know what you are doing this will hit almost everytime, combined with the accuracy of knives, then getting the states you might not have a chance to pull a move off. Another move that isn't as strong but has similar effects is suplex. If you suplex someone then throw the right knife, 1 or 2 moves by the opposing player max will be pulled off. No other tree can do this as consistently and as powerfully.

Welcome to two weeks ago when sneak attacks' hit rate was nerfed into oblivion.

 4. The ability to be concealed. You can't hit what you can't see. Understandly, included in MKT since a lot of abilites come from this. However, combining this with the things above makes it lethal. From sneak you can break someones bubble temporarily then its over.

You can't break shields without revealing yourself, unless you use Disable, and honestly, you have to either suck or go AFK to get nailed with that.

Most if not all use disable is what I'm talking about and no you don't have to suck or go AFK to see this. No you don't have to suck or go afk to get nailed. Say you are a hacker and throwing your hacks, you are in the middle of them doesn't take long to break that bubble.

 My point of all of this is that MKT is overpowered. A simple fix can change this. First, reduce the accuracy of an MKT in interlock and remove the state trigger that allows for powerless or stun. This would make it possible for a power tree to come back and actually make it a fair fight. This isn't meant to start flaming or crying or whatever. In PVP you aren't invincible and thats understandable however the playing field needs to be evened.

MAs are overpowered, I think Aikido has too much defense. I could understand if once in Aikido style you could only use Aikido abilties and therefore not do much damage but you can use Kung Fu UGM with karate and Kung fu moves and still do a crapload of damage while keeping all the nice defense. Also the resistance debuff in Sky High kick is too much, specially since it seems to hit quite often. No to mention the ability to chain two state moves such as Dim Mak and Dummy Drill or Ki Sweep and Ki Punch.

MA's can not do anything unless they are in Interlock. If you are a hacker you have no business being in IL with an MA. My point is that MKT's can fight in and out of interlock and have more strengths than any other tree.

9mmfu, Rare I would love to see your rebuttle on the these arguments.

Doubt he'd waste his time.

As a paying customer and one of very many people concerned. I disagree.

Woot ML took him dooooowwwwnnnn. That was fun going to have to do that again when I got a ton more frags!

Ok, we are still waiting here on vector. Correct me if im wrong but there are supposed to be two types of spawns the 30-50's and the 100's. You are supposed to just wait for both in the Bathary area, which we have been doing for 2 plus hours? Anything we are missing

EC

Now we have been here sitting in the same spot with 20 plus people on vector for a while. You can tell us if it is broken. Or at least give us the timer because we don't know if we are just wasting our time. Anyone else seen this thing or things spawn recently??

EC

Before anyone takes this as flaming. I am giving the warning that this is Constructive Criticism.

 I feel like through the looking glass is supposed to be a few tidbits about the future of the Matrix Online and or projects currently being worked on. Now it is just a story summary and random news. I understand that Raj you are new but I feel like Rarebit should help you out and discuss things relevant to MxO's future. Just my thoughts
