Neo

I asked this question exactly for this reason, to get more insight into this topic. However, this answer doesn't prove your point at all. "There are evidently a few things established in the movies that they'd rather we didn't mess with to...

He certainly does, I believe it. In case he gives a *CENSORED* By the way, when Neo is carried away at the end and we see the yellow vision, Neo seems to shine as opposed to being a dark figure in this bright world before (the shine is so...

Powerful standard enemies

Oh, the Elites are just stealthed? Okay then. I thought the lower Unlimits were a "little" boosted by the cheat vials, but not that they were completely unaffected by them, other than the corruption. Question: How exactly were they exposed...

What's all the fuss about Downtown lag?

Seems like the fixing of Downtown lag will only be the first step to improve server cause lag problems in MxO, and not an incredibly major one. Most of lag I've experienced outside Downtown, and that won't change a bit.

Powerful standard enemies

From a story point of view, does it make much sense for the General to develop extra trained Elite Commandos, or for redpills to consume cheat codes in order to get more powerful, if you still can wipe an army of them out in a mission area...

I completely understand where you are coming from, and why you think this way. I even agree with some of your points. The thing is, this is a debate and all, so I'm trying to look at things more objectively, or so I think. My main points:...

By the way, a question. What were those ideas, that were better than the actual resolutio, like?

What's all the fuss about Downtown lag?

Hardlines not working isn't lag, I think, it's not working hardlines. And generally I wasn't asking about the causes of lag. Rarebit said your client only renders the accessible world and *your* contingent mission area, and nothing else. B...

What's all the fuss about Downtown lag?

What exactly is or was the problem? Was it the fact that world interaction was delayed by one second? Apart from being a minor problem, just right now I was in Gracy Heights and it took me more than a second to launch archive missions. I'v...

That's all fair and interesting (no sarcasm here). Actually, I was probably wrong with this "why complicated it". But you forget that the explanation is not complete and hardly claims to be. The point is, this scene doesn't answer all ques...
