I am very happy about all this. These changes and additions, especially Pandora's Box, will make this game funner, and that's a good thing.
After this game has a much bigger variety of fun, I recommend doing more commercials, because every Matrix fan needs the whole story.

Personally, I'm intrigued but not blown away. It is, however, very nice to see the devs actually come out and say something, and I hope this isn't the last time it happens. I also hope that the further dev commentaries do actually deal with in depth information, not just more "broad strokes" If they don't want people to just view this stuff as a carrot dangled in front of the horse, they NEED to talk details.
Some personal issues:
Crafting: Are we ever going to see a real "crafting" tree instead of the "photocopying" tree that currently exists? Players have been wanting this for ages.
Multi-Interlock: Rather than take it out altogether, I'd like to see it improved to something similar to the movies. The ability to use selected MA attacks outside of Interlock is nice, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it will look awful, just like combat in other MMOs...
Pandora's Box: Meh... I don't know. It sounds okay, but it doesn't excite me yet. I'll have to see it in action before I make any judgements.
No zero-sums in combat: Ouch. I don't know about this one either. Some enemies already have broken combat rolls (like the Lupines) and it's a relief to actually be able to win a single exchange against them at times if you aren't using "cheap shot" or "side kick combo". If they can hit you all the time, even if you do "win" the round, then it will only be worse. On the up side, this will remove the rounds where you win the round and the enemy still gets their attack anyway, so I guess it's not all bad.
... I guess that's it for now.
I honestly enjoy the game the way it is now, but I do see the need for more content. I, like others, just don't want to see MxO become... well, not MxO. The core structure is already solid and I don't think the game needs a drastic overhaul, just a solid round of additions and tweaks. Oh, and keep fixing the bugs and glitches.
