TADOW!

Save Vector?  nah, try to save the game... here's how

1. Do whatever it takes to minimize lag.  Upgrade the servers, streamline code, whatever...
2. Merge the servers. 
3. Make hostile zones (downtown, certain neighborhoods, etc.) Make richland non-hostile.
4. Place pvp objectives in constucts.
5. Make CQ's redeemable for gear and rankings.
6. No CQ for killing players more than 5 levels below you.
7. Give neighborhood mission contacts a fresh set of missions.  Make them relevant and epic.  Release a new set regularly.  Make enough so that the follow a back story and a character can get to a reasonably high level by doing them coupled with critical organization based missions and grinding neighborhood gang npcs.  This is the year 2007.  Doing the same quest over and over with Randomly generated NPC names is no longer acceptable.  There are console games with better mission/level progression.
8. Allow coders to place buffs on items.
9. Allow coders to repair items so that they are never completely destroyed.
10. Figure out *CENSORED* multi-fighting should do.
11. Make agents appear whenever the rules of the Matrix are being bent or broken numerous times in a particular area.
12. Repackage and re-release the game in conjunction with another film or (comic)book/graphic novel, (decent)next gen game or something that would get people who aren't necessarily huge fans thinking "The Matrix" again.
13. Endgame content.
14. Raise the level cap to 60.
15. Where are those new ability trees?
16. Simplify the whole 'buff' process
17. Improve hideouts.  Make them worth doing.
18. Either make guns require ammo or make them lose stability with each shot.  Even Neo ran out of bullets.
19. Widen the game map.  Introduce some new neighborhoods.  Maybe some new high level hideouts that are actually not quite so linear.  Something along the lines of the hideout in Lucero Point.  Maybe a neighborhood like the one in that part of the Animatrix where the code in the Matrix was damaged.
20. Make the NPC's in baldwin heights use stealth and assassin abilities.

I could go on... but I'd probably still be dreaming every day.  The bottom line is SOE could still make more money than they already are off of the Matrix franchise if they invested a little more...

I'll prolly come back for the anniversary event, but WoW is a very immersive game that has everything this game lacks.  It's cool... once you get past the elves

ah... the rantings of good ole SadHo... LOLZ

Hey, we didn't die, many of us just moved on to World of Warcraft and made a JoKeRz guild there.

I'm gonna agree with most of what's been said on this board, but let me just say this. The most effiecient killers to ever grace the game, and I know this from experience, is handsdown

SKOALMINT

 

PS: Where's he been?

Good to see ya bro...

 Uh huh.... Liek teh time when mike jones and darksable met up for a smoke....

 

  How's retirement goin?

I'm still in The Matrix, just in another form...

Still JWMF...

*CENSORED*, just give the man his props, nothing wrong with some healthy competition.  If it bothers you that much that zion has more players, make a zion alt and kill steal and cause divisions among them, lol...

We all know they have the advantage, so be smart about using the archive.  Come up with a strategy instead of bitching about it.

Above all else, let's have fun while there are more players around, maybe they'll be enticed to stay around.

That cocky mutha f**** that you love to hate is back...

Still JoKeRz, still WILD MF!!!!

Heya Nox. Most of those players are still in our faction, sadly they're inactive for the time being. If you'd like to join us send any of our members a tell.

Ok, and that helps me not. I'm looking to get in touch with these people... not join. >.<

A lot of those folks where playing Guild Wars last I checked...

JWMF

All this talk...  just level an alt for another org.

Problem solved.

I would like to think I've done my part to create a healthy ganking environment here on vector.  This conversation has been had repeatedly and it is a little stale...

but this is funny...

Lol getting shouted at for ganking lowbies is fun...but the best are...I think the faction is Grandmasters of Zion. Like their only level 50 called Cassanovo or something will stand there while you kill his lowbies. This one time I found them at Tabor W while levelling Oranos...he was level 45 or something. It was him and 4 or 5 lowbies of various levels. I interlocked each one and killed them or let them run. Then he boosted, walked up to me and sent me a tell saying "leave them alone or else". I killed another one who appeared and ran off. Was hilarious

 

The latest one with them though...even better...I was on my level 4 (yes 4. not 40) And he was there coding for his level 17. I was bored so I randomly interlocked the 17. The 17 was kicking my **bleep** and he sent me a tell to "leave us alone Oranos!". Made me laugh.

I too will 'adopt-a-faction' from time to time, and make sure I go out of my way to kill their lowbies.  Previous victims have been desciples of neo(yes that's how they spelled it), zions intelligence agency (is that an oxymoron?), and hitmen for hire...

my current victim is zion secret service... time to jack in...

No more rolling, that'll seriously hurt my breakdancing...

At least we can still strafe.

Good work to all the Machine operatives.  It was a pleasure fighting alongside so many of you.  Thank you to the Merovingian operatives who were wise enough to understand that our objectives were beneficial to them as well.  Zion proved to be a minor annoyance, especially the one who thought it was a good idea to open a box 3, just to be killed by the programs that spawned from it.

We should prepare for the next phase, and ignore the idle threats of Zion because it seems they do not understand their place in the truce.  The General is a rogue program and a threat to The Matrix and we will continue to weaken his organization as we progress toward his deletion, that is if he doesn't betray Zion. Perhaps they should consider the ultimate goal of their ally.

But its just annoying when some1 tries to kill you 5 times and runs everytime cos he cant... then he catches you in a bad moment(with low health) or zergs and kills you saying your crap cos he killed you. Sometimes they even start to insult you.

You should not pay any attention to these people.  They crave validation and this is the only place they can find it.  You should probably pity them and let them have their moment.

My favorite moment is when someone rolls out, catches freefire, and dies, this is especially funny when they hyperjump and slam into the ground.  This makes me laugh out loud every time.

The IS cost for hyperjump is enough of a control. 

I think they have implemented this idea... it is called "Your jump exceeds the limits of the Matrix." And it is annoying.

I enjoy hunting people down as they run from me.  This is one of the few challenges remaining in the game.  Sometimes they escape, sometimes they don't.  Makes no real difference, it's about the journey not the destination.  Just like sometimes you die no matter how good you are.  It's about did you enjoy the fight.  Sometimes odds are just stacked against you, and you have to run.  You win because you escaped, they win because you had to retreat.

People will kill/insult your digital character all the time.  It doesn't matter.  Just have fun.

Sounds nice.  I'm glad it's some real crowd control stuff as opposed to some 5% toughness garbage.

What makes a good pvper? 

Have fun.

Respect your opponents while slaughtering them relentlessly.

Take loss with grace and learn from it.

Have fun.
