I suppose it is a negative view to express, but content for its own sake is far less valuable and has far less longevity than content that is consistent and complimentary to the story, this is why in all likelihood the construct could be a...
Well not long now, soon everyone will be able to enjoy the explosion of freedom that permits them to freely attack the 8-10 players they haven't previously been free to attack, well unless they previously used the tiresome /duel option or...
What is needed is cause and effect, consequence and reward, progression and development, identity and worth, credibility and continuity - aspects that need to be hammered into players by content and story at all times, not just for an offi...
Yes more space, just what is needed with the rest of the city literally bursting at the seams, and obviously like other recent content it will fit perfectly with the ongoing story and the overall conviction of the Matrix as a whole.
Unfortunately relating pvp combat here to other mmo's isn't really very encouraging, the vast majority of mmo combat systems are limp, disconnected, overly random and unrewarding in the areas of skill or tactics. Part of the old systems ap...
I dont think there is any unfair bias with the events, if anything the smaller population of vector gets more events per player per week.....just unlikely we will ever get as many as would like. The point is well made about alts on other s...

Regardless of details it really boils down to the fun factor and type of pvp you enjoy. The old system had a LO for every occasion, whether you were alone or in a zerg, whether you faced one person or faced a Zerg, there was a way to PvP w...

Not really a very fair contest, we never got to see what the original system would have been like as they gave up early on and didnt make the simplest of fixes to things like stun times, debuff stacking, and limited multi IL to 4. The doub...

In considering this problem I concede that the lack of the sentinel is one of those factors that is severely missed and contributing in my case to a lack of feel that we have any connection to what is going on. It or something like it need...
I remember decoding/finding meeting times and places and beating Zion to Morpheus, spying on masked meetings etc, etc, twas fun............ Do current story events actually affect the city or redpills in any material way any more? The sad...
No good deed goes unpunished eh? Of course maybe even the actions of Morpheus were just a reaction to the suggestion he had been a machine stooge all along. A Sim dropping code bombs might even develop a conscience. Still lets us all appla...
