Good... god.... My palm is attacking my face! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!

That is pure gold right there LOL

You... really think someone in the higher echilons of SOE looks at DN1?  You think someone checks in on us to see if we have any complaints?  That we need a refill on our drink, our pillows fluffed, maybe a different magazine to look over?

Emailing the heads of SOE would probably have a better chance at them actually seeing your complaints and concerns, which doesn't mean they will give it the time of day.

It's simple, the reason why MxO owned so much for going on 3 and a half years now was because the story, unlike in other games, had someone telling it, now we have NPCs and content that doesn't matter telling a half baked story about what? Overrides? Some random colorful people that seem to be all mighty??? These people aren't even really a story!!!! The story of the Matrix should be epic! Not half baked!!! ffs people come up with an original story for this game, one that will excite people, not drive them away!!! You need real people playing these people, NPCs are bs imho, and you can raise their lvls all you want, you can make them ubber and even able to call for backup like these new nubs, but the fact of the matter is, that no matter what you do, nothing will compaire to the awsome events we've had, where you could rp with someone that accutually matters in the story! Now all we get is bs content and npcs with nothing but text and alittle reused content.

Once again I demand a response from you SOE, and I demand it soon, because frankly, I'm getting sick of this bs.

Skull, no offense, dude, but or else what?

You are making these "demands" as if you hold some sort of stock in the outcome.  If you really want your message to be heard and understood, I'd first start at not using acronyms like ffs imho and the like.  Honestly, if your demands are "fix it or else I quit," I fail to see how that will motivate anyone to do anything.  Afterall, if you do quit, that's just one less whiny voice on the forums complaining that SoE has ruined this game.

I think that most people have come to agree that the New Approach leaves quite a bit of wanting.  For the most part, I've kept my trap shut on these changes, because I knew the initial drop wouldn't not end up being the finished product.  You've got to admit that as far as the mindless farming goes, it's a little better / more interesting in the 12.1 missions than it was in the 11.3 wash rinse repeat craziness.  That being said, there's still a huge hole left in the wall from the New Approach blowing through it.  We're close...  pretty *darn* close, and with a little more time and attention, I think we could be in a pretty good spot.

Regardless, there's got to be another way to do this other than pleading and demanding on a forum that someone with the power in SoE to read and implement changes will never see.

So SOE is a nightclub and Skull is yelling at the bouncer "You better not kick me out or else I'll never come back! You just lost yourself a customer pal."

What we're trying to say is: we don't have your back, Skull.

This thread breaks the rules of the forums 

• Don't post topics addressed directly to a developer.

So if I understand this correctly.... You're mad because the main dev working on the game is populating this farely empty world with much needed static content every update cycle?  The fact that he is only one man and has taken a break from live events to do this is wrong?  ** Shakes Head**

O...K....

Skull, there's a right way to express the dissapointment we share with these changes....and the wrong way.  Saber-rattling and ultimatums?  Hmm lets see.....wrong way.

 Give veteran players that know the story, that know how to rp good, give them the LE charactors and let us make our own story. Give these players the ability to run live events and make npcs outa thin air, I mean what could go wrong? Most of us here love this game, and we don't want to see it die, so why not let us help?

Haha, what could go wrong...

Which really speaks for itself, doesn't it? (I know that was your subtle point, and I don't mean to detract from it, but I needed something to use as a segue to my post).

I definitely feel there are things that can be said about this new regime, if you want to call it that (If you don't then fine. See if I care!), but I don't think this is the proper way to go about it; If there even is a proper way to go about it. I don't even see the point in writing this post to be honest, this thread was doomed to be ignored from the moment the scabbard began to quiver. But I haven't had a long-ish post in a while so I thought I'd chip in.

I'm not going to defend the new style. Nor am I going to condemn it. It may seem cynical of me, but the new system replaced a system that consisted of stale, repetetive events (Not to the detriment of LESIG or Rarebit, there's just not much that can be done with the template after so long) with relatively varied quests with incentive, plus the occasional event. I can't differentiate between the two in terms of which is better, just that they're both different. Although it would seem that the new direction is paving the way for someone to take the reigns, you have to consider that Rarebit, regardless of whether or not he's training some kind of intern to replace him (which I doubt), must have been exhausting himself to a possibly dangerous level with the work he did on MxO in the past, before this new approach.

Condemning him for 'doing it wrong' is, again, the wrong way to go about it.

Cloudwol(f) is right, the most that can be done is to let things take its course whilst enjoying what you can of the game, and offer objective, honest and blunt (if necessary) critique on the forums. That's what I'd envision as the right way to go about it. Demanding that SOE listen to the idea that veteran players should take on the roles of characters from the Matrix Franchise (an insanely lucrative and popular Intellectual Property with millions of fans hanging on its words) is not. I know if I got control of Morpheus, without any kind of contractual agreement, then my subservience could only last so long. Even rogue LESIG have compromised the integrity of the story in the past. But anyway, I'm beginning to ramble. To be honest, I'm not even sure I was making any sense from the very beginning, but nevermind.

As for me? Well, I'm just going to continue abusing the bold and italic functions of the forum until I drop dead.

Now that's a post! Check out the use of italics and boldnes! Wow! lmao

I agree. I say again I don't normally condone the use of these threads but thats what a forum is for to discuss and this thread has opened a discussion so what the hell lol dont aim it at rarebit or the dev/devs lol Just keep it open discuss and share ideas.

To be honest I miss events but I dont miss a squeezed dry storyline.

Awell who knows I know I will still be paying my sub for a long time from now. coz I got a great faction beside me and some god friends to chat to and a good old bit of vector pvp so long live MXO

To all of you that believe I am in the wrong for attempting to do something and speak my opinion, I say to you all, tough. You think I care about other people telling me to stop expressing my opinions and my disappointments? Do you think I need your comments to help my opinions matter? No.

I wrote this thread to express my opinion and tell the people that run this empty shell that if something isn't done, simply put, I will be unsubscribing. Nuff said on that little out burst that I've come to love and hate from all the haters out there in the internet.

You people don't seem to get it, I'm not trying to get the attention of the devs, I know full well that nothing will be done because just as I have stated before no one at soe cares about the customers, no one cares about us gamers, us people that believe this is more then just a game, it's the story being continued by the people that loved the movies!!! And in my opinion, you cannot tell a story with static content that doesn't even relate to the movies, the story or hell even any real relavance to the matrix at all.

I've been holding my frustration about this game dying back for so long now, but I'm to the point to where it's pointless, I can no longer stop myself from complaining about something I love and hate to see go. I love this game, and I love alot of the people in it, I love how much effort Rarebit has put into this game and how much all the devs have tried their best to solve the problems that cannot be solved by soe. The problem is not the game, it's been the story, people lose intrest in the story because it's no longer intresting, it's no longer even Matrix theme anymore, it's some alien bs that makes no sense and is told by a 5 minute bunch of pictures that really don't even tell much, followed by a lame little 3 part mission that again makes no sense, tells no story and has nothing to do with the matrix story. Then we have the so called content that isn't even useful to a pvper like myself, it's so out of this world difficult to gain that only through alot of mindless farming will one ever see something that no one really needs other then to look good. Sorry, but looking good doesn't matter to me, I rather run around with no shirt on pwnin noobs left and right with gear that actually matters to a real pvper.

I don't want to leave MxO, but I feel like everytime I say something I only get looked at like "ohhh look that noob skull is posting on the forums again, lets go talk trash and tell him he is wrong for expressing his opinions! hahahaha!" Well guess what, keep right on doing what you do best, hate on me cause I'm not affraid to tell it like it is.

I want real change, something that will make everyone happy, and make this game what it can really become, I don't want freakin npcs telling me a half baked story about colorful people that somehow enter the matrix and the machines are scared of them, wut?!!! I've been a machine for 2 years now and never once knew the machines to be pansies!!!! That is bs and I really think you should go back, watch the matrix movies and see how the machines really should be acting.

Seriously, I can't even hold my head up high anymore proudly saying, "I protect the system!" without people looking at me like, "so wut? noob" This game is no longer fun, there is no epicness to this story or the game itself, and the content, hell last years content was 100% better imo. All I'm trying to do is voice my opinion, if that's not enough then I'm not gonna try anymore, it's not worth it, after 3 years and nothing to show for it, sounds like another worthless grind to me.

Make a real change or I'm not gonna stick around to watch something I've loved for so long die out like some second hand trash....

1. Self Contradiction much? Make up your mind.

2. This is a personal opinion, not a fact. I actually like where the story is going, and I am willing to bet others do to.

3. I also PvP 80-90% of the time I play, and I have found uses for a good amount of the 11.3-12.1 gear.

You stated many times that you're here to express your opinion. Your opinion seems to be that we, as players, need to demand that SOE fix this game (or is it? see 1). Well, if you truly believe that SOE is willing to even consider doing something, I suggest properly contacting them, because they most likely don't look at these forums. Acta Non Verba.
