Designer Journal 3, Part 2 - Feedback Thread

**ZaneZavin**

I almost forgot, Welcome Back Archon!
Great to have you back. I'm sure Walrus did great while you were gone, but still good to know "The Man" is back.

Cynical comment (prepares for flames): I notice a lot of Broadcast Depth thread posts are like, "OMG I love it sooo much I can't wait I luv you OMGBBQ C.U 2.0 R0x0rz!!!" without knowing exactly what it's going to entail. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but bring it down a notch otherwise the devs are gonna think everything is wonderful when in fact what might be needed is constructive criticism to make the game better.

I'm looking for red flags that might cause problems down the road. For example, are all our abilities taken from us so we have to farm red frags and code them again? I know we're getting info refunds but the rest is unclear. If my abilities are still in my code inventory that would be awesome. If we're stripped clean that's going to be a headache.

One thing I'd like to see is a toggle to shut off the more cartoony effects of combat and the red damage numbers that always pop up. Kinda like the toggle that lets you remove the nametags when you're frapping or something. That would give you a hella immersion effect!!! Wow.

The most positive thing about this is that we're gonna have a QA server to test this stuff rather than having it just foisted upon us, then having to deal with the resultant bugs that it may cause, which is a headache for the devs and players alike.

I expect us all to give clear, constructive criticism. Our job is to make this game the best it can be. Be honest everyone, if you see a bug or a flaw (or something that works really well) let the devs know!

Okay! when we have all this lunched the abbiltes and the new stuff Can we beat agents? because all i wnat to do is beat an agent butt?

**Aquatium.**

update looks great lol, if i wasnt soo sleepy id read it, but looks great, and i think it will help the combat SMILEY

Detrius_MXO

You'll never beat an agent one on one. If you could then you would have broke free from the matrix long ago. Until you become The One ill forget the question was answered.

**Freak3r**

sounds like 2 things are going to happen, everyone will be exactly the same, (loadout, influcence points, etc.)and the assassin tree is dead. So there are no real "choices" as usual within mxo.

Cirakyn

I am a bit confused, will we still be able to switch class/loadout at any time? Or our we fixed as one job?

The refund got me to think this was the case, but the talk of the
fighting styles changed that, and sort of confused me. Anyone know, or
can help me out?

Thanks..

Detrius_MXO

Cirakyn, were all waiting for the same answers as you on that question. Maybe sometime this week they'll answer it! lol j/k

Freiheit

I'm eager to test this, will the cost of leveling abilities change?

**FAOrien**

Maybe by the grace of the MxO gods they release QA tomorrow?

**RemagDiv**

I'm just hoping we still have all our abilities coded and stored in our archive, but not leveled. It would be a pain to recode everything from scratch. =/

**FAOrien**

This is true and makes me a bit uneasy since I have nearly every single tree.

Freiheit

Same here...

Once again, as with the screens and vid, no matter what this sounds liek or looks like, in all depends on what it's like when we use it. And everyones imagination is dif. I'm goin to reserve my opinion for now

**CPT_Starschwar**

Hmm.... I'm assuming that the refund only covers the abilities we currently own? I had a partially leveled spy tree I sold off on the market awhile back...

I know, I'm greedy. Ask King Caw. Lol.
