Zen Master

**Frink**

I would like to just pitch this post in this thread since I don't see any where else it would go.

But I remember when Zen Master was "Leaked" (I still have no clue how something that big can be accidentally leaked into the game) and I remember I had it and I thought this was amazing. Zen Master actually made it feel "Matrixy". It had great animations and it was actually fun to use. It even had Morpheus' move, the one where he jumps up high and lands on one knee to the opponent (like he did with Neo in the Dojo and with the Agent during the Highway Chase scene). But I just would love it if the Developers would re-think about balancing the Zen Master tree again. It was soo, sooo sweet!!! I would just like to have more Martial Arts in the game. Because I think this would bring the replay value way up.

So please reopen the QA server to test out and balance Zen Master to be in the game. Because I don't like having something still in the game not being able to be played out by customers. I just hope that Zen Master and new Martial Arts will be coming in the game. I would rather have new trees instead of Old Archived Missions or Org Abilities. So I would really like to see it that new trees are on the Devs list right after the Org Abilities/White Hallways.

And If anyone here has screenshots or videos of in-game Zen Master I would love it if you posted them, just so people can see what they were like.

Thank You

I always thought it was (monolith?)'s way of teasing us then a day later, just yank it out. heh.

As of right now, Zen master has died since the CU2.0. It was supposed to add VD to the Operative trees and crap like that. Although it doesn't mean they won't figure out a new concept for it. Keep in mind new trees will take some time, because they will need to add a tree to Coder, and Hacker as well to keep the balance so no one tree is extremely dominant.

There is still evidence that zen master was in-game:

And they were planning on giving hacker and coder new trees aswell. You can see trojan horse there which I think was for hacker.

Yeah Zen master was one of the three trees that they had developed a bit before CR2. I think they were really meant for balance reasons but they arent really needed anymore.

I'd actually rather have more content like raids, constructs, bosses, etc instead more combat trees at the moment. With combat trees it's only exciting for a certain amount of time..

lol I'd love both but since we don't have resources, staff or money then I'd pick more animations since I do love a good animation, thinking about it guns have a severe advantage over MA, MA is supposed to be the tank load when on my duelist and SMG loads I hardly worry so maybe Zen Master should give buffs to that.

Well, the solution would be to give gunmen less Melee Defense since they have lower rolls than MA's anyway. If an MA's rolls were hightened anymore it would be horribly overpowered to the extent that Hyperblock would have no effect.

Zen Master was a gnarly tree, and I honestly agree with Frink. The devs SHOULD re-think it and possibly re-add it to the game. I think that we're in need of new trees, honestly. We've had the same classes since beta, and although we've all heard rumors about the upcoming org abilities, I've still yet to see any sort of announcement of when they'll A)be ready for testing, and B)be ready for release.

Either way, with or without the org abilities, I think that Zen Master should be re-implemented to the MA tree, and possibly add another section to the gunman tree. Also so more assassin stuff would be neat, too. SMILEY

It does work it's just that no-one uses it.

MUAHAHA and then the gun tree should get heavy weapons where we pull out a cannon and blow stuff up

**nephillim**

That would be pretty awesome John....but yeah, i'd honestly want more levels. Maybe just 10 levels with a memory point each. @_@ The possibilities......

**XiaoDian**

I'd be happy if there were no new "we want Zen Master" threads.

It's not going to happen.

The Matrix is still not dangerous enough. If you want to do something, increase agent threat levels in all areas of mega city.

BRING BACK ZEN MASTER 4TW SMILEY

I think the test server should be re-opened so we can fine tune Zen Master once a post-CR2 version has been made.

it won't be brought back, it was only ingame in the old system because they thought that hacker beats MA imbalenced < MA beats Hacker imbalence there is no reason to have it anymore, thus we don't have it!!!!
