In response to me not being able to not go a whole post without
insulting someone, it seems you can't go a whole post without some
ill-concieved theory that SOE is the destructor of all. I'm not trash
talking, it is the truth. Half if not more of your comments are
ignorant, you just fail, or don't want to see that Monolith made this
game what it was. Before the merge, you only had those 1 or 2 people to
talk to cause there was barely anyone else on the server. Now that
there is an actual community, you can't find people to "connect with"?
And saying that its just a bunch of 12 year olds from Enumerator, is an
ignorant generalization. Its the internet, everyone feels they have the
right to be a *CENSORED*, and most people wether they be 12 or 40,
exercise that right. You can't stop someone from ganking (although in
China you have to be 18 to now....:smileyvery-happy:),
being an idiot, and just an outright **bleep**. Its like this is in all
games. You just picked the server where people can do it whenever they
want. And how has this game been made to cater to lvl 50's? For one,
there is absolutely no end-game content, the end game PvP battles are
horribly unbalanced due to hackers, and if you think about it. The
reason this game might have turned into a bunch of people just killing
each other, is cause Monolith didn't care to put in some end-game
content, much less some balances in classes. If you look deeper than
just the surface, its not hard to see how Monolith made this game what
it is. Plus, for the record I'm not into lvl 50's pwning other lvl 50's
non-stop, theres nothing else to do if you haven't noticed, and hell
I'm not even lvl 50.

Seems like multi posts seems to be no use. Let me sum up what they are trying to say:

1.) Monolith screwed up the game and made it worst. Ask everyone that been playing.

2.) SOE just took over. It takes time to fix problems that your older brother made, almost like a Mom/Pop store taking over something like K-Mart when it has been going down hill quickly. Give them about another month, to two months, then make a comment if they are making the game worst or better.

3.) People who went to a hostile server from beta thought it was only going to be pvp during events, which they never cleared it up when they made the servers. Now everybody is used to the original routine of "Red = Dead" and "Kill, or be killed".

My suggestion if your having problems getting ganked and that, go to Downtown (since it never gets used) or in mission area when objectives aren't complete, nobody can kill you as much, if not, none at all.

ill just reply to you. since you seem to be the only one who didnt take this post as a personal attack.

i really dont have some deep rooted problem with sony. i was just saying it SEEMED like when they took over from monolith things got bad. not for everyone either just for the way i like to play the game. im hoping sony mans(or womans?) up and makes some wonderful things happen with this game. thats my hope. ive been playing this game for awhile. im not gonna give up on it after a couple weeks of hardship.

and as for getting ganked, it really isnt a problem for me. i know there are tons of people out there who want me dead just for being red so i watch my back. i hyperjump after jacking in. i code while sneaking. i mission in low populated districts. i do /who's every 5-10 minutes to see who i need to be watching for. i brought it up because i thought it might be a problem for other people....and i was wrong. if someone wants to try and gank me...thats fine with me....im good at getting away, i have ears, i can hear when someone starts a stun.

/agree with solidus.. ive been happy with the changes.. i like the hostile enivironment .. and sony has only been in charge for a couple weeks, i dont know why people expect everything to happen overnight, SONY is a huge company and has the $$$ to invest in this especially if they see a profit from investing the money, everyone flaming and trashing the game in the forums.. do you think SONY is gonna be pressed to change things JUST FOR YOU ... no .. so everyone needs to chill-back smoke some off that greenback.. and *CENSORED* and take it day by day... and if your a lvl 50 whos bored out your mind im sorry that you have reahced that point im almost a lvl 20 and to me i have a whole new chapter infront of me in this game and comming in at this transition point will not only work to my benefit as i grow in the game i'll learn the new adaptions of the takeover.. its human nature to rebel against change because sometimes are fragile minds cant handle not being stuck to our routines... but live with it and keep it movining.. do something constructive.. high lvls.. organize tourneys on a weekly basis.. faction vs faction and if one faction wins the other side has to be non present in the matrix for a period of time.. etc... be creative.. there is so much oppurtunuty to take it upon ourselves for this moment and make up our own events.. all the main charcters i seen in this world r on the boards daily... so the oppurtunuty to advertise and get people to follow is there... but ive only seen a few posting regarding tourneys / fights which is sad...

y'all just been Spam Dizzled / Flamed Crisp for my venting pleasure

GIVE ME ALL THE BUGS! I'M NOT HERE FOR A BUG FREE GAME!

Every MMO has that crowd that's there for the game more than anything,
and a bug free game at that... So they play for years in hopes that
things will change or whatever.

I AM HERE FOR A STORYLINE, AND I HAD TO EXCHANGE IT FOR AN ATTEMPT TO
MAKE THIS GAME A MYSTICAL BUG FREE ONE, SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T
EXIST>.

We true Matrix fans here for the story have truly lost to the hardcore
gamers and gankers. I'm here for a story, not a game, oh well.

At this point, it's safe to say that I welcome all of Monolith's
messing up on the game because they had intense deadlines to meet which
were humanly impossible, and were forced to release the game early,
they even tried to delay it because it was still in development, but
only got one chance at delay because the suits at WB want to make that
money for summer vacation asap. Say what you want about Monolith, you
never knew that they had deadlines to be met, and had to implement
things all the time which weren't ready.

We've had SOE for a month and look at downtown still, come on now.
Atleast we had a point to playing, now we have a barebones game with a
dinky chat system that only allows us to talk to people already in-game.

Then I'm supposed to waste my resources on x-fire as a solution? a
program that leaves ports open unless I download a fix from their
website, which I have just recently done, because I didn't realize for
2 years that my ports were open and still trying to communicate to the
x-fire servers. The same servers that relay to everyone else what game
you're playing.. So I got rid of that, and people are telling me to use
that? I rather use AIM but even then, it's not like I can use either
one from within the game..... It's a bit more easier replying to a tell
than it is switching to another program.

Give me back bugs, it's not as bad as having no live events or purpose
to this game. Look at the back of your MxO retail box, and think to
yourself, what the hell did you pay $50 + subscription rates for??

All you people say it takes time for SOE to
do anything, well guess what, Monolith was never allowed time. It was
forced to come up with a patch or fix ASAP.

SOE on the other hand can take up to one year if they wanted to, as
long as their was a fix somewhere down the line. Perfect example is
SWG, it recently got what it should've gotten 2 years ago.

As I've stated, MATRIX FANS lost against these HARDCORE GAMERS AND
GANKERS that want their perfect bug ridden MMO. There is no such thing
though. Good job.

When the merger was announced:

Game was buggy. Sound loop had been introduced and there were other
issues. They still had problems with the way Live Events were taking
place and all the developers were working on Live Event content, NOT
bug fixes. There were 9 worlds with very sparse population. I could run
around on Input for a couple of hours without seeing anybody sometimes.

When the merger was going through:

They merged the worlds == better. More people to either socialise with or kill.

Development of all kinds was put on hold. Why? Well when you've got the
entire development team moving companies, along with all the
administration involved, they won't have time for coding much. I
wouldn't be surprised if they all took a week or two off whilst SOE got
their offices and PCs set up and the HR department got everything
sorted with the payroll.

Then they would've had to take control of the servers, bring all their
processes into play for server administration, website administration,
etc.

During this time nothing was added.

When the merger was complete:

They took out AIM, and added the Station password connectivity in the launcher and changed where the buttons sent you too.

That's ALL that they added.

The only bad thing is that the servers are lagging so badly it's
unbelievable, but that's probably because nobody's had time to do
proper server maintenance.

So, nothing has been added to make the game crap. The game is in the
state it was under Monolith when the merger was announced, except it's
laggier (bad) but more populated (good)
