Okay since that last question seems to have been answered, I want to
clear up a misconception that rare apparently caused. Maybe he didn't
know any better. But I think WE all know that



biscuits < waffles < pirate biscuits < NINJA WAFFLES !!!



Ninja waffles destroy everything else, there's no two ways about it.

I
wish I could answer this. Most of the CSR stuff is handled by SOE CSRs,
we at the Seattle studio don't have much to do with this. I'm not sure
about the screenshot attachment thing... it might be because we had to
add the whole new bug/ticket system after the transition, to make it
work with SOE's system, so we didn't have time to do everything we
might have wanted to... but I'm not sure about that.

Hmmm that was one of the rewards from one of the very first events, right? And people from different orgs get different buffs?



If that's what it is, then I think the answer is no. The reason being:
x org won a certain event. They get a bonus for a while. They do not
get a bonus for the rest of eternity, because that sets up a kind of
unfair advantage for that org. People who buy the game 6 months from
now and are getting into it shouldn't be penalized or rewarded for
actions of other players 6 months ago.



And if I'm thinking of the wrong thing, then... uh... FUTURE CONTENT QUESTION!!!

Well,
if thats the deal, then why do we still have our Merovingian's Boon,
and the other versions in the other orgs?  We had neo's insight
for a month before it was replaced by this, and we've had this one for
about 6 months.  Sounds like an unfair advantage for a certain
org.  *cough*Zion*cough*

That depends on the server. But it is an unfair advantage for all new players who don't get it. But I expect they'll turn it off when the CR stuff makes it into the live game.
#10400134306 12/21/2005 06:28:26 Re: Ask the devs an MXO question
I thought everybody in every org got a version of Neo's Insight which was adjusted depending on the fragments collected.

In the same way that everybody got a version of Zion Hardware Requisition/Merovingians Boon/some machine thing I don't know the name of (glimmer of the source?) which was adjusted and scaled depending on the number of PDA's that were collected and handed in.

#10400134307 12/21/2005 06:33:47 Re: Ask the devs an MXO question
Yeah, I think I'm just making the point that we actually have something
that should've been removed long ago that removed one buff, but gave
another to replace it, and now that org(s) have had unfair advantages
with those.



Anyways, since you guys are on the pokemon thing with rarebit...here you go!





#10400134308 12/21/2005 08:43:42 Re: Ask the devs an MXO question
Tseng brought up a question a lot of players have been interested in for a long time. I think instead of analyzing how much work/usefulness it would be to jump out a window, I, and many other players would say, look how much more Matrixy it would make the game. Right now...as far as I can tell, hyperjump and that 1 1/2 sec bullet time is about all there is that resembles our Matrixy wants.





Got Matrixy?

Hmm...
well one question would be, are they really as good as the veteran? I
would think the veteran would have mad skillz to throw around. Maybe
with the combat revision this will be more true, as combat seems like
it will be a little more nuanced (swapping styles in mid-fight to get
different bonuses, etc).



Anyhow though, look at it from the opposite perspective. Say there was
something in place that made veteran players better somehow, and you're
a new player who's just made it to level 10. You look around you and
realize that there are people who, just because they have been here
longer, are always going to be better than you and there's nothing you
can do to close the gap, even once you hit 50. I personally would quit
right there, 'cause what's the point?
