Please bring back Neo's Insight, I've had it for a really long time (since i was a little noob) and really want to use it.
please!

um.. It's been unusable for months.

I think they should deactivate Glimmer/Merv Boon/Zion Hardware buffs as well, as they're no longer fair to the servers in CR2, and they've been on for so long.

When bought this game, about 1 month after launch, somehow i got Neo's insight. I was a stupid noob and didnt know how to put abilities on or activate items. After, my game kept crashing for about one month. Then after that, it said my account was deactivated. Then i couldnt play for 5 months. Finally i called tech support and they sorted it out. Oncr i got on i saw that neos insight was deacvtivated. i also wanna know why.

it was deactivated for a reason.  Sometimes stuff just makes the game a little too imbalanced.
#35600000852 04/03/2006 01:27:51 Re: Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!
Neo's Insight was a gift given to those in the Race to Find the One live event.  The first ever in offical MxO history(End of Beta, and those in Beta don't count because they're not technically part of MxO canon).   It granted a 10%, 6%, or 4% bonus to Toughness to whichever organization won the particular event on that server.

They de-activated it because it was only supposed to be used during that event, and directly thereafter.  It wasn't meant to be something to be used all the time, especially since we were given the same thing with a different name:  Zion Hardware Requisition, Glimmer of the Source, and Merovingian's Boom.  These were given out during the Assassin event, and should also be deactivated since that event has LONG since passed.

I disagree.. Zion Hardware Requisition is the only Item that gives me a little advantage compared to someone who bought this game 1week ago (tho he might not be 50 yet). Heck, it's the ONLY item (between Assassin's Mask - ok, let's keep this one out; Mobius Code and HyperJump Beta) that only those players have, that - kinda - earned them. You know in SWG they have something like Veteran Items - if you play for a couple of time you get a special item with some nice buffs.. so now Devs in MxO should punish all those people that are around since game launch for being here all this time? Bad idea imo..

Er, I dont think so Tim.

Thats from an old event and really I dont see any balance issues. If its a problem for someone who didnt get it, tough luck. Sorry to be blunt but I dont want something from that long ago just to be deactivated to be fair to others who wernt here from that time.

I am in total agreement.  These items are the types of things that separates the vets from the new players.   Those who were around and were lucky enough to recieve these items should not have to be penalized because those that don't have them or don't like the fact that they are still activated.  As was mentioned above, other games have veteren type items that do not get de-activated, why should it be done here..

Re-activate Neo's Insight!

Well I gotta say I don't think it should be reativated. I was around then & have it, but I don't think I should get an advantage because I've been around longer than someone else. Don't you think that somewhat discourages new players when they are basically fighting an uphill battle because of an item they will never be able to get.

It could be reissued:

Under a diffrent name

in a hard to get mission.

Personally, I dont mind either way, but I stand firmly saying that Boon, glimmer, and recq should NOT be deactivated.

No one, NO ONE....EVER gives up power once they have it in their hands.
You only want them taken out of the game because YOU DON'T HAVE ONE!
The next "event"  what ever comes around, and you get a special
item, you won't won't to give it up. Even when new players whine/cry
"oooh, it's soooo unfair!" beta and long time players have paid their
dues and deserve the items that come from playing a long time. Esle all
newbies get equal standing with vets, and THAT's not fair either.
Membership has it's priviledes, so don't start taking them away!

I have to agree. The insight or hacks do not add a noticable imbalance. There is no need to remove them. Consider them Vet Rewards. How often does that little bit of toughness really help out you ask? 2% of fights are decided because of that difference. 2%!!! Thats it! On an unrelated note, 65% of all Statistics are made up on the spot.


 Also, Can anyone post the post CR2.0 stats on the Assassin mask? Anyone...Blindside?
