SOE Your losing players, we want CONTENT!!!!

willisnag

First off let me say I am saying this myself, and this is my opinion, please if anyone feels the same as I do feel free to voice their opinions here in this thread in some hope SOE will hear us. I have been playing this game since beta. I was one of the first to jack in and experience this wonderful game. Lately I have not been jacking in because simply there is nothing to do anymore. SOE, I do think the answer to this game is not the combat which you are focusing on so much. It is the content. GRANTED mxo could use new moves ie; more wall moves, guns, and more professions. But the core combat is fine. We and when I say we i mean all the people that agree with me. We need CONTENT, we need to have a story line, that we can follow on a daily basis, and dig into the depths of the matrix so to speak. Because simply, SOE, your losing people everyday because you feel that the cu will be a major fix which it will be not. I fear by the time the CU is complete there will hardly be any subscribers and mxo will already be lost. I love this game, and I love it not because you can kick butt in it. BUT because of the MATRIX STORYLINE!!! Which your, SOE, i feel are neglating. WE the players and CUSTOMERS need to be happy and I think most of us are not, the people that are holding on are the people that disparately love the MATRIX UNIVERSE. This is my plead. DO NOT NEGLET THE STORY OF THE MATRIX. Even though the cinamatics are in crappy quality which could and SHOULD be improved on, for now I can take that for the love of the game. This is my plead and again I say this is utter desperation. If any of you players especially the long term vets here as myself agree please voice your opinions here and hope SOE listens to us and does not let this game be run into the ground, like another game the nge for SWG.

Am I forbidden to post if I don't agree with you? *searching* Yes, I think so.

Generally speaking, you're right. More content, may it be something like a city expansion or more storyline would be great. But that's all where I agree with you. It always kinda bugs me why people can't understand that once CU is done, the Devs will have much more time for "content". Of course, they can also concentrate on other techinical fixes (like making more surfaces in the world enterable, f.e. fire escapes), but I'm sure the frequency of events is gonna increase after SU is implemented and the major bugs are all fixed. And may I add, the CU is a major fix. Agree or not, combat is a crucial aspect of the game, and CU not only takes care about the combat but pretty much of the whole ability tree and game play system. The animations look more dynamic, more balance, more brain. It is important...

Players who understand this will stay. The shortsighted ones, who can only look a few weeks ahead, maybe are going to leave (although they might return when they see content coming). However, the ones who leave skip the storyline, and agree or not, it is evolving. Events and LET appearences occur quite often, and there are still the storyline missions.

Although I don't agree with you that the cinematics are "crappy" (4.1. hasn't been fixed yet), they could be better, but if you've read some announcements, this is an issue that's going to be taken care off in near future.

Your rudiment is OK, but the Devs neglecting developing CU and just switch to content because of a thread on the forum is the last thing I'd like to see. Let them (and us, keyword: feedback) complete that combat thing and then we'll have our content.

I understand, I do not want the CU to stop but saying that It is going to be alot longer than you might think that they (devs) will start focusing on the CONTENT. It's going to take a while to finish up the CU then release then.... implemt fixes after that because as we all know nothing works correctly the first few times out which is ok. But SOE has said they will put the CONTENT, ie; live events and ect on the back burner. Which I feel they might need more man power which as a customer is not my issue that issue is SOE's, to get more people to run a sepreate live events team and develope that SEPERATLY from the CU. Listen Im not going anywhere but I am very fusterated. Ive been around this game for a while and as for the vets and I know alot feel the same as I do there is simply nothing for us to do in the matrix theses days except for pvp which is all we have left and thats getting old. Not to say from time to time its fun but generally speaking. I welcome the CU but I personally want the CONTENT and story which this game would benifit more from I think.

willisnag, I agree with you. While the devs will (hopefully, desperately hopefully) focus on content after cu 2.0 comes out, cu 2.0 won't save the game. If there is STILL nothing to do but fight, then many will say "good-bye". Players (customers) aren't leaving because the combat is bad--we all (I hiope, even the devs) know that. There are several wonderfully good threads in the Vector forum that address this problem.

http://mxoboards.station.sony.com/matrix/board/message?board.id=vectorgeneral&message.id=46964

This thread show the "content" we need to keep interested in this game. Nerf hacker (or remove it), get rid of random stuns, and give us a reaon to be in the Matrix. I agree, I love the Matrix universe and want this game to continue....

**zeroone506**

Just look at the live events board. Recently, Niobe introduced a new crew member, Agent Gray and Agent Pace organized a hunt after the stolen case and Ghost appeared to a player event (or something similiar).

The Oracle and Seraph visited the Matrix several times, and so on...

And then 15 storyline missions each chapter...

So what did you say, there's nothing but PvP?? No content??? I know it could be more (it can always be more), but still...

I for one can't wait to try out the fully completed CR2, as it's a whole new thing to discover and practice with. MXO has needed a whole new concept for a few months after SOE took over and monolith folded. I agree with the fact that it has gotten a lot better in the past weeks with LET appearances, and I'm actually quite impressed with the amount of appearances we've had considering all the work that has gone into CR2, i dont know how the devs spare time to enter mxo servers. I would like to commend the devs and the lesig for (while working on a massive CR2 project) still having time to spend with us players.

I'm hoping for the same in the next few months, and i look forward to CR2 finishing, and the years anniversary event. While some people say there's nothing to look forward to in mxo these days, There's alot to do and it'll take a month or so, but I think the devs are moving in the right direction.

Once the revamp hits, we'll have it figured out in two weeks. Then what?

We need purpose.

i agree with willisnag.

There is no content...thats maybe have a few reasons : the first of one ist the CU2.0 (i must say , i dont CR2.0 ^^and it will more unbalanced than cr1 ..cause the hacker and Patcher will be useless).

Than the second reason ist , that morpheus is died in the storyline..but why must morpheus died? Was it a part of the story ? NO..SOE online would save money and dont want to pay money to laurence fishborne for the license.

And i must say...the new Charakters in the storyline are boring...it is not matrix like...

I love to play matrix online and i playing it since release..but SOE make this game going down.

Think on my words..in a few month or fewer.

Dude... you have no right to claim anything like that because you don't know it. I bet you're just used to series like Star Trek and can't comprehend if a main character dies. If that happens you simply come and accuse the producers. Do you really think the producers of "24" simply had differences with Sarah Clarke or Leslie Hope and therefore... well, no spoilers here.

I mean, maybe the reason Tasha Yar died in "Next Generation" was, indeed, because the actress wasn't going to paticipate in the show for one reason or another, I don't know. If I look at shows like "Smallville", such an explanation is also quite realistic. But still, the way you look at Morpheus' death is kinda amusing. Apparently, you believe that main characters should stay safe and sound forever.

However, there is a high possibility that Morpheus is only faking his death. Recently, a player published his former conversation with Morpheus, where that one implied something like this.

The characters are boring.. well, I'm maybe still able to respect your opinion about that. You have the right to dislike the characters. But that's all... The characters are different, the story envolves differently from the movies. The "not matrix like" argument is kinda lame in my opinion, but hey, if that's what you think...

But maybe you should admit, that's it's at least not entirely impossible that the Wachowskis and Paul Chadwick's team still have control about the storyline instead of greedy SOE bureaucrats. j/k

betaprimus

the game is sorely lacking any high level content, other than the pandora's box and pvp, there is really no real need to hit lvl 50

the hardest hideout is doable at lvl 45 the big boss of zero one is doable at lvl 42

any other mmo, there would be at least something more, even if the game had 1 developer who spent most of his time developing passed out drunk

again other than the "unfinished" commandos, the normal npcs of the game are exactly the same normal npcs from the launch

its a simple trade off, a static world that nothing really changes, if you have live events taking place, but *CENSORED* that is not even going on anymore

so really why keep playing once you hit lvl 50 and done all the pandora missions?

there is no hard mob to kill, there is no big boss that takes a dozen people to kill, other than the creston hideout and pandora's box, there is no uber loot that you have to be over lvl 40 to get

hell path of neo had more live content than mxo has at the moment

I give it 2 thumbs down

**zeroone506** · 02/26/2006 00:59:18

Permamanent safety in Downtown is a very motivating reason to hit 50.

Higher-level abilities require level 46 or 47.

And then, of course, full effectiveness in live events or heck, pvp, isn't that unimportant.

And if you just take a look on the live events board, you'll realize in no time that there are live events going on. Just because the sky doesn't get jammed by fly swarms and corrupted don't attack you anymore, it doesn't mean there's nothing going on.

And then, there are 15 brilliantly-written storyline missios and cinematics coming out each chapter -- another reason to stay.

Also, hitting 50 means you don't have to level anymore. Since levelling up is monotonous and boring, or at least a little annoying sometimes, it should be a facility that it now gets unnecessary.

But on the other side, talking about permanent content means that at some point, you've done it all. There are about 50 mission contacts in the city, but if you've run them all, you've kinda finished this game's aspect. Calm down and try to participate in live events or just explore the Mega City, because now you have time to do that.

P.S.: If I remember correctly, you wanted a redlight district and sex for $info. I'm not completely sure you meant it, but dude, if that's what you mean by "content"... all I can say is dude...
