No more double tap roll... *sigh*

I suppose I'm supposed to just sit there when I get attacked while coding a level 50 item, and wait for the timer to run out and to die. One more advantage for the Zerg.

Negative, deactivate your code analyzer the same way you activate it, from your hotbar

Hmm, will try SMILEY

And the new cinematics look ubercool.

eh...I liked the old cinamatics more

How can you not like it? No more dumb annoying old emotes etc.

I'm loving this! So original, so unique.
I've always loved Comic Noir's, it's reminding me of Max Payne.
I like how MXO is sticking true to it's predecessor's, like Animatrix and Matrix Comic. Finally Matrix Online will feel like Matrix, in one way at least.

In other words; Paul Chadwick FTW.

How is using black and white comics going to possibly make it feel more Matrixy?? The old way was perfect- you got to watch ingame video's of storyline characters! I think that these Comic Strip ideas are ruining the experience... Isnt the game supposed to resemble the Movies? I dont remember watching black and white drawings of Neo fighting Smith..

Horrible idea. It makes it makes it look like SOE is getting lazy or something, when in reality they arent at all..and just so you all dont think im dogging SOE, I think they've done a great job so far with the game and I have loved every minute of it!

I do however, think all the other updates are great!!! Im so glad they are finally getting rid of style stacking!

Well, it's called Comic "Noir" for a reason....

But the cinematics look awesome, IMO. I mean they've got a dark,
mysterious feel to them, and it's that feeling that makes the Matrix.

What about the neuro darts? Will anything be done to those things?

Also "Hyper Sense" is useless... no matter how much thrown resistance you're wearing or how much thrown defense you have it's useless.

Yes, any word on the neuro "wait here for the zerg please, thank you" dart?

btw...Is that Niobi in the reflection?

I'm pretty sure it is, but we'll see I guess SMILEY

OK... I don't know sh1t anyway, it was just an assumption. :smileyvery-happy:

However, I'm still curious why people take the Animatrix and the Comics as the basis for Matrix style, not the movies, EtM or "Final Flight". Wherever I look: "CGI is ludicrous, I mean come on, photo-realism is lame! Cartoon is teh rulez!!"

Just kidding :smileytongue:

Well I'd say that both are Matrixy. I'm excited about this different medium though and we'll see how they can pull it off. Especially because they said they can do much more with this than the other method.
