This is still a serious problem, atm I am avoiding using weapons for free fire because as it takes upwards of 5 steps to return to spy-style in IL - the weapons need to deselect when spy-style is selected as they do when KungFu is selected.
TBH for all sorts of reasons not zerg releated I would love a more severe DE a full 5 minutes where you must not return to the battle would actually make properly resolvable conflicts etc. For the Zerg atm split EPN away as a pvpable group...
I am prepared to eat my words and apologise for the original posting, it is far from useless I agree. The initial problem arose from trying to use the tree in the same manner as worked on the old system, essentially mkt WAS an awesome rang...
You pop out of sneak for about 1.5 seconds, unfortunately a lot of factors stop you from going back into sneak and you can be caught very easily in il. At the moment its just about an acceptable but I fear once opponents gain a bit more ex...

The best things in MxO ain't free but your upgrade is taking it all from lil'me I want money thats what I want It's what I want! Money! C'mon devs I heard about the ability trade in (a week too late) but the insta-cost of cr2 is ridiculous...
I was hoping that that was an indication that a working multifighting IL would be developed one day even if it was unique to one class it should be possible (and with dps I can see it working perfectly, only the annimations are required).
I found this with a number of abilities, removing them from your hotbar and reinserting the ability from the action window seems to cure it. I suspect your hotbar is held over from pre cr2 and for some reason certain abilities are recognis...

Fact is once this system goes live a number of the changes and requests made for CR2 will become extremely difficult or at least far less likely to be addressed. There remains aspects that have been repeatedly requested and even after live...
Broke or not the spy tree has been overnerfed, Spy's have got a raw deal relative to all other tree's and it should be a priority for attention by the devs.
In fact a truce between Merov and machine is actually contradictory to the story, it would be a serious shame if, in a story driven mmo such as this gameplay actively denies a properly developed and established aspect of Matrix lore! If I...
It was a last minute effort, I really don't see any hope for this issue being addressed after the system has gone live, like the UI review (which I consider this forms a part) which has been requested since day 1 I feel this is a significa...
Good work Montoia the MKT branch does seem to be the better of the two, PvE I dont have any issues though for PvP I dont think we should just accept the Assassin has to remain so ineffective in isolation. I was also concerned by a thread e...

/sign imo essential or else the MxO veterans are effectively penalised, I raised this issue some time ago. http://mxoboards.station.sony.com/matrix/board/message?board.id=epdiscussion&message.id=6000#M6000
The spy tree has got a very raw deal, unquestionably the worse hit of CR2 and the weakest of all the offensive trees. There are ways i understand to get an 'adequet' effectiveness by use of multiple branches but Assassin and MKT by themsel...
Reducing the clicks is the main issue, though the concept of an rsi is imo changed to a negative affect by the presence of active buff's. Personally I still favour passive and stacking abilities but acknowledge the difficulties and consequ...

As someone who doesn't own every tree atm, there is the additional problem associated with the redistribution of abilities. I now have specific abilities buried way down in tree's I a haven't even begun, while its possible I will own the l...
Well I'm relieved to hear that what we have experienced to date isn't the finished article, I have the feeling as Spy is coming to QA so late in the day it will be in need of most attention when we go live..... Any chance we can lose the t...
Yeah I agree with Reg entirely, and accept that Assassin on live could be interpreted as overpowered (although purely because of multi IL) witthout the multi IL it falls too far and the disable evade as it stands isn't remotely a compensat...
Client side lag in many cases will frequently make a 5second stun appear effectively negligible....I would tend to agree the overall nerfing of stuns is a very positive move but has gone a little too far.

Well testing tonight along with talking to other players strongly suggests the spy tree is now completely worthless for pvp. Sneak and disguise are both fine but the only time you will actually kill an opponent is; they are all by themslev...
It would be nice to get some relatively simple explanation of the goings on here, obviously to see something with twice the DPS resulting in less damage means there is an additional mechanism going on which would be relevant to our applica...
I had bugged this issue but not entirely sure if it is a bug or some mechanism where I am doing things in the wrong order. I find that in if I have a weapon loaded in free-fire when I come to IL with 'spystyle' I am shown fighting with wea...
Yes thankfully sneak seems to be working much better, only had a brief play yesterday but with NPC's at least it is pretty robust. The success rate of stealth attacks however has left a few concerns, but hopefully more testing this weekend...

Thank you for addressing the thread, the more familiar I have become with CR2 the more I appreciate this issue has both positve and negative consequences. The main issue is with the number of buttons we are having to press to make CR2 func...

If it was just some buffs no one would mind, but we have gone from the ridiculous to the sublime, the new system is terribly unweildy and when it comes to real hybrid trees virtually un-useable. it MUST be addressed BEFORE it goes live!
