Why don't I play this game?

Because they killed off Morpheus.

Simply the worst decision they could have made.

I quit a week after, and I didn't even play as a Zionist.

 

Have no feer, Morfeus is still alive.

I am pretty sure they introduced an "Assassin" made of flies to the game, who then killed Morpheus.

If they brought Morpheus back from the dead they really have screwed things up.

I installed the game, played it for 30 minutes and uninstalled it. The gameplay is horrible, the combat system is horrible and there was one bug that made me made. Anytime my toon would run inside buildings the lag was horrible. They just need to make this one  free to play.

You've never used it before?

Providing you're a die hard Matrix fan you stand to gain something from MxO. But it does have its major flaws. Lets break it down into it's finer points;


Missions - Your only means of leveling. Story driven missions (critical missions) can feel engaging but are far and few between. You'll have a load to do at the beginning but once you've done them all and are left with nothing but the standard set you'll find no diversity what so ever. Every mission will feel like the last and they'll soon grow old very fast. If you think grinding in WoW is bad...you ain't seen nothing yet.


PVP/PVE - In a world designed around interlock you'll find that hackers throw a major spanner in the works. But its not just PVP that suffers from this broken mechanic, PVE can become unbearable in a crowded place full of the mishaps.


End game - Once you've hit the level cap you'll grind and grind and grind to make info for branching off into other trees....and then you'll wait for the next instalment of the matrix saga. Which could take weeks...unless you're a major RP'er and like to make up stories as you go but unfortunately that doesn't cater to everyone.


All in all MxO can leave you with a very bitter taste towards a franchise that you love. I'm not saying it's not worth trying, if you're a Matrix fan you'll find a few nice twists you hadn't thought about. But it lacks in oh so many ways...oh so many. It's actually quite sad but hey, I enjoyed it while I could, I suggest you do the do the same.

WoW is the easiest grind there is. Considering the MMO community as a whole see WoW as the "starter" mmo to bring more people into playing MMO's this is understandable. WoW currently is the kiddy MMO player game. The 9mill ish subs are from kids having their parents foot the bill for a game that seems to appeal more to them than most adults (not saying there aren't any, just more than 80ish percent of the population in WoW are kids).

WoW has also been remarked as "the ez-mode mmo". Awhile back I snickered at a hardcore EQ raiding guild whom completely moved to WoW raiding for a change of pace. Only to have them posting on this site remarking at how easy raiding in WoW is comparative to EQ (the origional  hard-set mmo).

Simple point I'm trying to make, please stop comparing WoW to everything like it was a Chocolate Moose sundae. The game, simply put, is nothing to compare anything to lol.

I'm going to say what my ex told me... The game had potential, but it never came into being.

Then SOE bought it and put it on their "lookit our accesspass, soooo maneeee games!!!!"

with a skeleton crew dev team..tho planetside has less... the game would keep on being what it is with no chance for getting better.

Lol I see your point. But I was just trying to state if you think leveling in WoW is boring, you won't get very far in MxO.

i played this game from beta until sony took over. it was an awesome game and great live events. this game was really all about the live events they held. the first live event they held when they killed Morpheus was the best and so much fun. then we got to kill the assassin that killed Morpheus. It was great chasing him around the game jumping from building to building and inside buildings too (its awesome that you can actually go into every single building in the game, with no loading, and each building is different). Anyway the game started out awesome, lots of fun, great environment, great graphics for the time it came out. But after Sony bought it from Monolith, it just sucked, they changed the combat system which is the first reason I closed my account and made it much harder then what it used to be and just lack in the live event department which is the bread and butter of this game. Basically it turned into Seinfield Online, I would log in and hangout by a hardline and chat with others about how the game sucked and thats all we did. Sony sucks (PotBS sucks balls too).

My boi posted on herr a while ago that therr were about 30 thousind playas. So that sounds like alot.

Neolives, please use proper English when posting, otherwise it becomes very hard to divine what is meant. As for the server population, no know but SOE knows, so it could be the 30k you claim, or it could be something very low (10k or less), which is what I'm betting. The game is fun for quick missions, but all in all it's a broken game. Monolith knew it, and they had no experience in the field of MMOs, so it's no surprise what they released was trash.

The emotes are very good. The theme is definitely Matrix. Other than that it's all very substandard. The free trial would be a waste of anyone's time as I see it.

I just bought the game and when it comes in I'm gonna give it a go for 30 days. If I like it, I'll stay, if not then I'll go  back to CoX earlier than I anticipated. lol. I do hope to find some people playing that enjoy the game and are willing to help me. I'm gonna be quite disappointed if the only people on are standing around talking about how much the game sucks. I'll be doing some roleplaying too. That should be a blast.

well i play it sometimes so if u r gonna be in the server im in ill help u out

Loved the overall concept of the game.  The lore is great.  The fact that the game isn't 'fantasy' is another plus. 

I have given MXO a few shots.  I tried the game at launch... again a year or so later... and again about 6 months ago or so. 

Why didn't I stay? 

Same reason(s) I did the same thing with CoV/CoH...

Cookie cutter

Repetitive

Mob's just hanging out... anywhere/everywhere

Combat system

etc.,,...

Again, I like what they tried to do with MXO, but not how it was delivered as a game.   It simply wasn't 'for me'. 

I'm a CoH fan so I have no problem with instances or random missions compiled from repeated source pools. But even by those standards, MxO was incredibly repetitive.

More importantly, it lacked the fast 1 vs Many combat that CoH has. In MxO combat looked pretty, but it was pretty boring. On that however, I know Sony did the unthinkable to Star Wars and thus must be damned to hell for all eternity, but still in this case the combat system revamp was a good thing. That is, unless you preferred a system where an enemy could shoot at you and you couldn't do anything in response.

Another problem was teaming. People were nice in an "if you need help, I'm here" kind of way. But I found no teaming to speak of, and there was no sense of them needing me and vice-versa.

So that's why I don't play it. I found it slow, repetitive, and lonely. I get enough of that in real life. :(

Well let me know what server that is so I can get on it.  I'm assuming there's a global friend channel I can set a name to, so if there is I'll make mine Marunai.

well u can have fun with that if u wish, but i never played CoH sooo hows the combat in it?

Patching MXO as I type this. Since you didn't tell me what server you're on then I'm just gonna pick one. My public name is theillusionary. Not sure what this does in the game if anything. Set the name as that when I was registering the game at Station. I probably won't use Marunai now that I'm randomly picking a server. I'll post my new name and server later.

I dont get what people mean whent hey say they kille doff Morpheus? What was Morpheus's role in the game?

Check out the story as continued by the game. I do have to give credit to MxO for being willing to evolve the world and involve the players while doing so. No other game really makes that same effort.
