Whats happened to MxO

noVus

I won't.

I find it to be great news when I hear a game, or company fails for some reason.

Free market ideals at work. When something fails - it means the customer base demonstrated they thought it to be an inferior product, and room is made for more superior products. MxO shouldn't be kept going, just for the sake of it "being MxO". That's more of an insult to "all things Matrix" than anything I can think of. This sort of acceptance of mediocrity is precisely why the rest of the western world laughs their butts of at us here in the United States.

The only thing I miss about the Lith days were a dedicated LET with more advanced events, but other than that, SOE has been doing just a good as job, if not better, with MxO.

With CR2.0 finally on Live, we can only hope for more content as of now.

The previous Live Events sucked. The only one that was actually any good was the race for contraband data drops way back when but that just imbalanced the game and so they had to make that item unusable. SOE fired the LE team even though they were probably the best RP guys on the MxO. The new MxO "LE" guys aren't very good at rp as I've seen several "lol" and such and now they don't even acknowledge questions from players anymore. Before it was a completely different game. Now it's almost as if we're just props where as before we were a part of something.

Unfortunately, the game is under a tight budget which means less staff, especially for things like a LET. Although the LESIG is doing a great job bringing in extra content, nothing will match the previous LET that Lith had.

blizzard makes millions monthly off of WoW and a billion dollar company like Sony can't increase the budget of a high profit product?

**RemagDiv**

I wouldn't call this game high profit, it has a low subscriber base compared to other games, so it's not exactly making a ton of money for SOE.

When WB had the game i rarly had problems other then lag. But now the
game is crashing every 30-45 minutes during battle. most of the time
near the end of a missions. when they do upgrade the world it seems
piontless like moving all the NPC lvls around and the HL. Is there
anything else you guys would like to see change and for the better.

What I think it might be, is that all of these high-resolution, high-detail advertisements all over the city are putting a big strain on our hardware.

This game costs $15 a month, Sony gets money to advertise US Cellular, the US Air Force, Castrol GTX, Under Armour, and who knows what else...

If you were getting money from a game that was sub-par to begin with, and you are high up in the chain of command of Sony, what would you do... Improve the game (even though it needs BIG improvements), or help your stock holders?

I think I've seen enough, I will not be a part of this game for much longer.

In my opinion the only thing that is not good since the takeover is the LET is gone and the content is dreadful.

I am on a trial, so Im not a vet or anything. Although, I used to play
another SOE game, SWG. I would just like to point out (while I can
post) Sony could care less about the current player base. They don't
care about adding content if they don't believe it isn't going to raise
the number of subscriptions. They did the same thing in SWG. Combat
upgrade, then they put out a free trial. Then they put out ANOTHER
combat upgrade and that was when I stepped away. By the second upgrade,
all the iteams that had value, where useless. Im talking about stuff
that took literally YEARS to save credits(in game currency). Most of
the stuff didn't convert into anything of use, the stuff that did
convert, was complete crap.

Small example, pretend you spent 12 months gathering and hunting
componants to build some "end game" armor. Some of the best stuff
possible. You spend SO much time that you decide to wait a little
longer to see if you can get some better resources ect. And then the
combat upgrade rolls around and makes the ARMOR AVERAGE, nothing
special what so ever. So, now in essance. You just waisted 12
months of your time trying to reach a goal that only a certain few
would(the dedicated) and then Sony tells you "Sorry, we can't help you"

Another small example, this is why I will never return to SWG. Sony
patched in a fix for player cities. After the patch went in. It RESET
the cities to allow ANYBODY to lay houses inside your city. So, imagine
you spend 2 years building a Metropolis, with over 150 player
residents. Then the day after this patch goes live. Someone comes and
plops a house down on the edge of your city and runs for mayor on the
day of the elections. Gets Mayor on a single vote from himself and
pulls up the City Hall, the shuttle port, and anything else that was
associated with the the city...Take a wild guess what Sony did to
help......Tell us it was our fault.

Good luck guys. This game is in the hands of some money hungry,
heartless SOB's. Trust me when I say that....These are only 2 examples
of 1000s. Its hard to defend a game that $hits on its customers.

Well, the combat upgrade was fun at first, it still is, but without any content, no more live events team, adverts popping up everywhere, a live event that completely strays away from the *story*, which was supposed to be the biggest feature of this game...

What's left?

I've stuck around for as long as I have, because the community here is really great, and my faction is awesome... I'm really gonna miss everyone.

cacapoo

i say agin :smileyhappy:yup the games poop now, nothing but poop.

dryied up in the sun stinking up the place

**ZippyTheSquirrel**

*sigh*

Now that the Combat Revamp is over, the devs have been working alot harder on more content. Here:

Mission Archives

More appearances of LE characters / Liasions

Organization-Specific Abilities

I think Rarebit mentioned something big happening in chapter 5.2.

And for clarification, THIS IS NOT SWG. AT. ALL.
