#36300536335 01/18/2009 07:28:00 Another attempt to get through to SOE

I'm going to try to do something I haven't for awhile, I'm going to try through this thread to get through to SOE, others can help me if they like but my words will more or less have the most impact in this thread.

I've come to the conclusion that MxO is indeed being killed off, Rarebit's new approch is the cause. I'm not saying rare is to blame for this, I'm simply saying that I think this new approch of his is alittle off. As I have stated in another thread, I feel like MxO, which has been my 1 and only online game for 2 years is losing my intrest. I mean, really, why did you kill off live events in a game where they mean so much to the community?! I mean it was something to look forward to, and while we waited for one to happen, we pvped, rped, dueled or just stood around, oh and farming lol don't forget farming. I mean I cannot understand why SOE wants this game dead, it's a great game, and it's still got a story to unfold, mind you, lately, the story has been garbage, no offense to whomever is writing it, but it's not very fun. I remember back in the day when we would wait around for random things to happen, new threats to the simulation to come out and just attack people, I remember when the live events were so awsome you could bearly hold yourself back when they were over.

Now adays however, you give us content with a story that doesn't even back up the content. You give us a game where there is 1% interaction with the community and 99% npc related farming. Imho this is not what you should be doing to this game, you are treating mxo, just like you always have, as a second hand game and now you treat it as it's not even worth selling this game for 10 bucks! I'm sorry, just alittle frustraited. I remember when this game had a certain element to it, a certain vibe, that no other game could even come close to, but lately that vibe has nearly gone completely, and I myself am so close to hitting the unsubscribe button... I don't want to do this, but unless something is done, unless at least something intresting happends inside of the matrix, I will have to.

If you really, really cannot do live events anymore, for whatever reason, be it because you have other work to do, then why not let the players do their own live events, with the story charactors?

Devs, I'm giving you a chance to help this game, do something for it, I understand everything needs to be approved cause it is your job but might I suggest looking to the community to hold dev powers from now on, Give veteran players that know the story, that know how to rp good, give them the LE charactors and let us make our own story. Give these players the ability to run live events and make npcs outa thin air, I mean what could go wrong? Most of us here love this game, and we don't want to see it die, so why not let us help? We play this game for the interaction, not for the bs content that isn't even helpful in pvp. We play this for the real story the unfolding of the Matrix story, not some (no offense) halfa$$ed writen story that someone just wrote down once and didn't even really think it through.

Give these chosen players the ability to reward the community through there own live events. Most of us, even myself when I'm not working would be willing to do this for this game. We would be willing to help this game and you wont give us the oppertunity.

Think this through SOE, it could help this game in the long run, making players that love the game into devs that pay you to do the job you wont pay others to do seems like a pretty good offer. And unless I see some kinda response to my offer, some kinda, "we will think about it and get back to you" kinda comment, I will leave this game. And I'm sorry but this isn't really even alittle fun anymore, it's a waste of time unless something is done, it's a waste of my time to just farm random content and watch a story that isn't even remotely intresting unfold...

I, YOUR VALUED CUSTOMER, DEMAND YOU TAKE THESE WORDS TO HEART! Because if you don't, if you just ignore me like you have been doing for 3 years!!!! I will take my hard earned money elsewhere! And no, not to any SOE games, you don't value us as customers, you value us as suckers and I'm sick of it, give us what we want, a game where we are the people and we have some pull in where this game goes, otherwise, it wont just be me leaving, you wont have anyone playing this worthless shell you have left us to walk aimlessly in...

And I am through.

Despite that Skull's post is made up 99% of proof that he's about five times slower than the rest of the community, I do agree with one point. This new style of dev work seems like Rarebit's slowly phasing himself out, to the point where if he's replaced with a low-paid intern, none of us might really notice.

And technically, the game's been dead since the introduction of Mister Shiny No-skin.

#36300536345 01/18/2009 08:03:22 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

Zippy, coming from you that means so much, I'm 5 times slower then the rest of the community! lolzattehsillysquirrel.

But really, I demand you people stop killing this game and at least try to help it, this new approch is not the answer.

   So ... a game developer wants to spend more time developing a game instead of doing something that pretty much only utilizes the game's chat and battle features, and suddenly it's a conspiracy.

It's not a conspiracy, but the game chat and battle featurs of MxO is what made MxO MxO.

(yes, we're both referring to LEs and story-line)

#36300536359 01/18/2009 09:45:18 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

All we would need is one event (per org) each update period.  This, along with the new format, and we're back in business.

#36300536366 01/18/2009 10:13:30 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

Good luck with the thread, Many try and fail to get any kind of response or help with these types of threads.

I do not normally get involved in these types of threads due to me thinking it is a waste of time....

But anyhow, I do agree that somekind of live event is needed even if it is just once a month or something.

There are a couple of Live events teams out there made by players who are struggling to get themselves going.

I personally am involved with GCET which is developing now, Why not let these groups have some kind of consumable to let off npc's or just somekind of mask for the events so they can be the character for their storyline.

Or even a donation of a prize for the event, minimum effort big returns.

SOE I personally can handle no events to a point but the refusal to help the small groups out there trying to salvage what is left of the shattered storyline of MxO, I cannot condone that.

Not a conspiracy, just a Fail.   Just like your knee-jerk apologist post here.

#36300536394 01/18/2009 12:48:03 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

It's simple, the reason why MxO owned so much for going on 3 and a half years now was because the story, unlike in other games, had someone telling it, now we have NPCs and content that doesn't matter telling a half baked story about what? Overrides? Some random colorful people that seem to be all mighty??? These people aren't even really a story!!!! The story of the Matrix should be epic! Not half baked!!! ffs people come up with an original story for this game, one that will excite people, not drive them away!!! You need real people playing these people, NPCs are bs imho, and you can raise their lvls all you want, you can make them ubber and even able to call for backup like these new nubs, but the fact of the matter is, that no matter what you do, nothing will compaire to the awsome events we've had, where you could rp with someone that accutually matters in the story! Now all we get is bs content and npcs with nothing but text and alittle reused content.

Once again I demand a response from you SOE, and I demand it soon, because frankly, I'm getting sick of this bs.

Meh, everything that could be said has already been said. Goods, bads. Pros, cons. Suggestions and middlegrounds galore.

This topic is old.

At this point I'm just going to jack-in and let the people who really care about the game (i.e Rare and team) do what they can with what they have. And yes, that includes taking feedback from our various discussions. But preferably not this one, not with the levels of maturity being shown so far ¬_¬

You... really think someone in the higher echilons of SOE looks at DN1?  You think someone checks in on us to see if we have any complaints?  That we need a refill on our drink, our pillows fluffed, maybe a different magazine to look over?

Emailing the heads of SOE would probably have a better chance at them actually seeing your complaints and concerns, which doesn't mean they will give it the time of day.

Skull, no offense, dude, but or else what?

You are making these "demands" as if you hold some sort of stock in the outcome.  If you really want your message to be heard and understood, I'd first start at not using acronyms like ffs imho and the like.  Honestly, if your demands are "fix it or else I quit," I fail to see how that will motivate anyone to do anything.  Afterall, if you do quit, that's just one less whiny voice on the forums complaining that SoE has ruined this game.

I think that most people have come to agree that the New Approach leaves quite a bit of wanting.  For the most part, I've kept my trap shut on these changes, because I knew the initial drop wouldn't not end up being the finished product.  You've got to admit that as far as the mindless farming goes, it's a little better / more interesting in the 12.1 missions than it was in the 11.3 wash rinse repeat craziness.  That being said, there's still a huge hole left in the wall from the New Approach blowing through it.  We're close...  pretty *darn* close, and with a little more time and attention, I think we could be in a pretty good spot.

Regardless, there's got to be another way to do this other than pleading and demanding on a forum that someone with the power in SoE to read and implement changes will never see.

#36300536449 01/18/2009 15:46:19 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

So SOE is a nightclub and Skull is yelling at the bouncer "You better not kick me out or else I'll never come back! You just lost yourself a customer pal."

#36300536451 01/18/2009 15:49:12 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

What we're trying to say is: we don't have your back, Skull.

#36300536468 01/18/2009 16:42:15 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

This thread breaks the rules of the forums 

  • Don't post topics addressed directly to a developer.
This includes rule would also constitute the company itself. Besides that fact, it's hopeless. There are legitimate ways to contact soe if your unhappy with their service, unfortunately the forums is not one of those.
(excuse all bluntness haven't slept in 48 hours xD)

#36300536478 01/18/2009 18:32:57 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

So if I understand this correctly.... You're mad because the main dev working on the game is populating this farely empty world with much needed static content every update cycle?  The fact that he is only one man and has taken a break from live events to do this is wrong?  ** Shakes Head**

O...K....

Which really speaks for itself, doesn't it? (I know that was your subtle point, and I don't mean to detract from it, but I needed something to use as a segue to my post).

I definitely feel there are things that can be said about this new regime, if you want to call it that (If you don't then fine. See if I care!), but I don't think this is the proper way to go about it; If there even is a proper way to go about it. I don't even see the point in writing this post to be honest, this thread was doomed to be ignored from the moment the scabbard began to quiver. But I haven't had a long-ish post in a while so I thought I'd chip in.

I'm not going to defend the new style. Nor am I going to condemn it. It may seem cynical of me, but the new system replaced a system that consisted of stale, repetetive events (Not to the detriment of LESIG or Rarebit, there's just not much that can be done with the template after so long) with relatively varied quests with incentive, plus the occasional event. I can't differentiate between the two in terms of which is better, just that they're both different. Although it would seem that the new direction is paving the way for someone to take the reigns, you have to consider that Rarebit, regardless of whether or not he's training some kind of intern to replace him (which I doubt), must have been exhausting himself to a possibly dangerous level with the work he did on MxO in the past, before this new approach.

Condemning him for 'doing it wrong' is, again, the wrong way to go about it.

Cloudwol(f) is right, the most that can be done is to let things take its course whilst enjoying what you can of the game, and offer objective, honest and blunt (if necessary) critique on the forums. That's what I'd envision as the right way to go about it. Demanding that SOE listen to the idea that veteran players should take on the roles of characters from the Matrix Franchise (an insanely lucrative and popular Intellectual Property with millions of fans hanging on its words) is not. I know if I got control of Morpheus, without any kind of contractual agreement, then my subservience could only last so long. Even rogue LESIG have compromised the integrity of the story in the past. But anyway, I'm beginning to ramble. To be honest, I'm not even sure I was making any sense from the very beginning, but nevermind.

As for me? Well, I'm just going to continue abusing the bold and italic functions of the forum until I drop dead.

Now that's a post! Check out the use of italics and boldnes! Wow! lmao

I agree. I say again I don't normally condone the use of these threads but thats what a forum is for to discuss and this thread has opened a discussion so what the hell lol dont aim it at rarebit or the dev/devs lol Just keep it open discuss and share ideas.

To be honest I miss events but I dont miss a squeezed dry storyline.

Awell who knows I know I will still be paying my sub for a long time from now. coz I got a great faction beside me and some god friends to chat to and a good old bit of vector pvp so long live MXO SMILEY

#36300536669 01/19/2009 18:43:28 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

To all of you that believe I am in the wrong for attempting to do something and speak my opinion, I say to you all, tough. You think I care about other people telling me to stop expressing my opinions and my disappointments? Do you think I need your comments to help my opinions matter? No.

I wrote this thread to express my opinion and tell the people that run this empty shell that if something isn't done, simply put, I will be unsubscribing. Nuff said on that little out burst that I've come to love and hate from all the haters out there in the internet.

You people don't seem to get it, I'm not trying to get the attention of the devs, I know full well that nothing will be done because just as I have stated before no one at soe cares about the customers, no one cares about us gamers, us people that believe this is more then just a game, it's the story being continued by the people that loved the movies!!! And in my opinion, you cannot tell a story with static content that doesn't even relate to the movies, the story or hell even any real relavance to the matrix at all.

I've been holding my frustration about this game dying back for so long now, but I'm to the point to where it's pointless, I can no longer stop myself from complaining about something I love and hate to see go. I love this game, and I love alot of the people in it, I love how much effort Rarebit has put into this game and how much all the devs have tried their best to solve the problems that cannot be solved by soe. The problem is not the game, it's been the story, people lose intrest in the story because it's no longer intresting, it's no longer even Matrix theme anymore, it's some alien bs that makes no sense and is told by a 5 minute bunch of pictures that really don't even tell much, followed by a lame little 3 part mission that again makes no sense, tells no story and has nothing to do with the matrix story. Then we have the so called content that isn't even useful to a pvper like myself, it's so out of this world difficult to gain that only through alot of mindless farming will one ever see something that no one really needs other then to look good. Sorry, but looking good doesn't matter to me, I rather run around with no shirt on pwnin noobs left and right with gear that actually matters to a real pvper.

I don't want to leave MxO, but I feel like everytime I say something I only get looked at like "ohhh look that noob skull is posting on the forums again, lets go talk trash and tell him he is wrong for expressing his opinions! hahahaha!" Well guess what, keep right on doing what you do best, hate on me cause I'm not affraid to tell it like it is.

I want real change, something that will make everyone happy, and make this game what it can really become, I don't want freakin npcs telling me a half baked story about colorful people that somehow enter the matrix and the machines are scared of them, wut?!!! I've been a machine for 2 years now and never once knew the machines to be pansies!!!! That is bs and I really think you should go back, watch the matrix movies and see how the machines really should be acting.

Seriously, I can't even hold my head up high anymore proudly saying, "I protect the system!" without people looking at me like, "so wut? noob" This game is no longer fun, there is no epicness to this story or the game itself, and the content, hell last years content was 100% better imo. All I'm trying to do is voice my opinion, if that's not enough then I'm not gonna try anymore, it's not worth it, after 3 years and nothing to show for it, sounds like another worthless grind to me.

Make a real change or I'm not gonna stick around to watch something I've loved for so long die out like some second hand trash....

I want real change, something that will make everyone happy, and make this game what it can really become, I don't want freakin npcs telling me a half baked story about colorful people that somehow enter the matrix and the machines are scared of them, wut?!!! I've been a machine for 2 years now and never once knew the machines to be pansies!!!! That is bs and I really think you should go back, watch the matrix movies and see how the machines really should be acting.

Seriously, I can't even hold my head up high anymore proudly saying, "I protect the system!" without people looking at me like, "so wut? noob" This game is no longer fun, there is no epicness to this story or the game itself, and the content, hell last years content was 100% better imo. All I'm trying to do is voice my opinion, if that's not enough then I'm not gonna try anymore, it's not worth it, after 3 years and nothing to show for it, sounds like another worthless grind to me.

Make a real change or I'm not gonna stick around to watch something I've loved for so long die out like some second hand trash....

1. Self Contradiction much? Make up your mind.

2. This is a personal opinion, not a fact. I actually like where the story is going, and I am willing to bet others do to.

3. I also PvP 80-90% of the time I play, and I have found uses for a good amount of the 11.3-12.1 gear.

You stated many times that you're here to express your opinion. Your opinion seems to be that we, as players, need to demand that SOE fix this game (or is it? see 1). Well, if you truly believe that SOE is willing to even consider doing something, I suggest properly contacting them, because they most likely don't look at these forums. Acta Non Verba.

The problem is not the game, it's been the story, people lose intrest in the story because it's no longer intresting, it's no longer even Matrix theme anymore, it's some alien bs that makes no sense and is told by a 5 minute bunch of pictures that really don't even tell much, followed by a lame little 3 part mission that again makes no sense, tells no story and has nothing to do with the matrix story.


K was going to leave this be. Never seen much point is reacting to someone in love with their own greatness, but this is directed at more than just godman here...

Everyone who believes that the Matrix story "isn't Matrix-y" anymore please go to the Next Renaissance Forum and write out for us this amazing More Matrix-y story that you believe should exist. By all means, use that special Red phone you have that allows you to consult with the Wachowski brothers. I'm sure they've given you exclusive access to what the story should be, and its just a matter of fate that you are a lowly player. Please, wirte out in detail this amazing story of the Machines and Zion and the Merv, err, fighting each other... over stuff... and the like.

Until you have handed us this Oscar caliber script, please, for everybody's sake, SHUT THE *BLEEP* UP!

(and quite frankly the story has EVERYTHING to do with the Matrix. Turn off the Red flag, put down yer Crank pipe, and go read up and contemplate. Maybe check out some of the other forums, and side stories... oddly enough, they all connect together. Anyway, that particular line of arguement has really been starting to hack me off...)

Skull, you actually make some valid points; but unfortuantely articulated in the most childish and least productive way imaginable.

If its any consolation before the entire DN1 community rightly sheds you to Smithereens, I partially sympathize with some of what you're trying to say.

Adios, Compadre!!!

(beelines it out of the thread unhesitatingly without ever looking back)

With that said, might I egotistically present the formulae for Skull's threads:

Take the community's most extreme thoughts and feelings from six months ago, add a dash of long windedness, stir with misplaced feelings of importance, factoring in any age-relevant stereotypes commonly found amongst the community, and bake inside the fires of Recursion. Let sit on the windowsill of the Recursion-specific forum for those of us used to his threads (see: Skull's post history)...

Now, see, this is where you went wrong, Skull. Usually you feed the Redudancy Pie to just Recursionites. Why all of a sudden so public? Huh? YOU GOIN' COMMIE ON US?! I'll not have it! I DEMAND that you return your useless rants back to the Recursion boards, or I'll unsubscribe right this minute! I mean it, now!

#36300536688 01/19/2009 20:12:23 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

I agree whole-heartedly, psilody.

This made me smile.

Also, careful you don't make your thread sound like a petition, since those aren't allowed according to t3h rules.

#36300536693 01/19/2009 20:21:19 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

Skull's got some good points here.  I don't agree with him 100%, but goodness knows I have my own issues with the game and the way it's being handled by SOE and by others.

In any case, I think everyone has made their point.  Let's just let this thread die, please?

#36300536694 01/19/2009 20:21:47 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

Zippy, really, I love you man, you're like my neo man, really.

And on that note I'd like to say another thing. I'm just tired of this game, if you all love the way the story is going then so be it, but they made the machine org look like a bunch of pansies and you know something, I will not stand for it, I mean pace pointed her gun at that w,e teh hell it is and then just backed away slowly? ummmm no. Machines are gods in this place and yet they run like little bishes scared someone is going to pull the plug wut?

The story I could write out 100% better then it's going atm, but I'd have to rewrite the whole 4 past chapters just to make any sense of it. idk, ya lost me at the wireframe guy acting like neo.

I demand more machine infulence in the matrix like there always has been, and we are at war, why does the story not ever reflect this? WHY?! I demand more killing of helpless zionites in their caves kthxbai.

Oh and 1 more thing, just make me into the new 1 so I can have dev powers and fly around teh matrix peeing on people I see below with my code vision... Umm, yea... No more, I demand u give into my commands or I will have to go find my kitty and hold it as a hostage! No cat nipp kitty! NO! /kickstehkittyintothefireplace. Ok so that wont work since soe hates kitties but, I still demand something be done, I just want my live events back pls!!!! This new content sucks imo.

For the love of god, please, rewrite the last 4 chapers of MxO. That would be the greatest piece of comedy I have or ever will read.

#36300536705 01/19/2009 21:43:22 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

I want to see this. Skull, your challenge has been issued. Rewrite the chapters of MxO from the introduction of Halborn to now, and if it's better, we will hoist you onto our shoulders (not mine, what are you, nuts, I'm a squirrel for grief's sake) and declare you our champion.

I guarentee that it will be a thousand times more effective than making whining posts.

Thank **** for that

Can't see it hapening though. Also I'm sure Skull's rewrite will be comedy gold no doubt it turning out that Skull is actually teh 0ne!!1!1!! and thus only fair that he be boosted to lvl 255 with Dev commands which allows him to 'pwn noobs' without a shirt on all day long.. Which is what the Matrix story is all about, isn't it?

no offence to ayone that posted in this thread (both for, against, or "for the lulz" (still cracks me up ) ), but it's now...


#36300536737 01/20/2009 06:07:41 Re:Another attempt to get through to SOE

First off, I'm glad I am making you all "LoLz" including you Rarebit, and to rare, no this isn't a petition it's a random rant on how much I think the story is going into the wrong direction. As for me rewriting the last 4 chapters of this game... I don't see why not. I mean I am a busy man but otherwise I could come up with some free time and write out a couple stories that could have been better then this. And by all means people, do you really think this is serious?! Once again I've been merely ranting about stuff just for teh lulz. Cause that's who I am and always will be, teh true comedy of MxO!!!

Look for my first rewrite of this story coming soon to ehh, well you know. Teh forums! /activatingteh2powers. /fliesaway

Sweet segway. Know where I can get one in squirrel size?
