Hey this is Zensnipe, co-captain of up and coming pvp faction (zen leagacy) for the machines on vector. I started a original thread on vector. but decided to move it here, if a thread for this already exists, pls tell me.

Also this is a brainstorming thread. . That means be open minded dont just yell at them that they are stupid and it will never work. blah blah blah.

Here are some ideas me and my faction have come up with.

1. raise the lvl cap, even if this takes awile it should be done all the lvl 50's (on vector especialy) have gotten to comftorble being the top dog. this would put some pressure on them again, so they can't just sit on there butts. taking pottshots at lowbies all day.

2. maybe a prestige class, like City of villian/hero does, and WOW (BOO!) is doing soon. might encourge players to get more active, if there was an incentive to reach 50.     My idea's

       a. for the mervoginian, you can make a class like the Twins.

       b. the machines, get agent's. (smith maybye?) and he could have temporary mind control over things. (machine override. or smiths hand thing)

       c. for Zion, the Two. preatty much the One exept weaker, so that every one isn't zion so they can kill Everyone.

   I understand that the matrix team does not have the time, to do anything right away. but the matrix has not changed to much, and adding stuff might make it mor popular. siphon off some of Wow's fan's (death to blizzards, mmo's)

3. this might already be in place. wouldn't know as i have only played vector. but allow players on syntax, and recurrison to permanatly turn on pvp. (wussies, just play on vector if you wanns pvp)(ps. that last comment is for anyone who wants to get to 50 before they pvp, so they wont be killed by the big bad bad guys.) if you had started as a non-pvp, and want to switch to it with out leveling a new char on vector, no problems there.

All i can think of atm. please leave posts. on any ideas/comments/criticism you have. (just be nice as i said before, this is brainstorming dont keep yelling about how stupid an idea is). i hope sony implaments some of the ideas that get on this forum. would be awsome .

Raising the level cap (although we've seen the issues the game has with xp awards for anything over lvl 50) would give most people about a week or two, maybe 3 of grinding then most will be at the same position again. There is nothing, at the moment, to gain by increasing the cap and a lot of things to solve in order to do so.

A lot of people complain about the grinding to lvl 50, I doubt the Dev's would want to introduce more grinding for levels, not when a lot of people are involved with grinding for items of clothing too.

Similar ideas have been put forward before a good many times and it comes down to basically what Brommerz said.

Alright, for one thing the lvl cap can be broken, alot of people don't know this but the longer your in game /play + the amount of CQs you have over all + how many trees you use and how often + your skill with every tree + The amount of awsome items you have = your lvl.

I'll use myself as an example, I have been in this game on my main char for 193 days, and awhile back I deleted and remade him, he had about 90 days on before, my cq count is about 14,400, and this is on Recursion, I have another lvl 50 on Recursion but let me just talk about Skull086 for now. I have every ability in the game, I am very skilled with every tree in this game in pvp and pve, I switch my loadout at least 3 times a day with stat hacks. I pvp in just resistance clothing, and most of the time, pwn people that are using heals/buffs. I've held almost every item in the game at least once, and I know how to use clothes to my advantage. Now because of all of this, not to mention I once had 127 zion rep and now I have 114 Machine, the amount of missions, time, money I have put into this game, I range my actual level at about 60-65.

Zion cannot have The Two, because I already am kthx.

Also, you can perma flag yourself with a macro on Recursion or syntax, flags you right out the hl once you use it. Though I am constantly flagged anyways so it doesn't really matter.

As for the comment about going to vector if you want pvp, Recursion and Syntax can sometimes be just as or even more hostile then Vector, I've seen em all flagged, standing around... But anyways That thur is my two cents.

Roflmfao!!!!

Nah but seriously, more ideas for joo all to lol at. =P

1. Make a random npc spawn on players all over the city, even in richland, this npc is called the Candy Man, and he is lvl 55, killing the candy man will send out a shock wave, anyone that gets hit by this shock wave will receive 20 lolly pops. 500 lolly pops can be traded in for a Rainbow colored Trench coat, lvl scalling resistance to all 4.

2. Make a npc spawner in each of the Dojos around international, the spawner will reguire 500 info and training sims will come out, one at a time, just like the toy boxes, and as you kill them there is a good chance of getting a rare gun drop.

3. Make Agents Spawn on Zion in Richland.

4. If a Zion operative leaves Richland they should instantly flag. Due to the war times, these operatives are agenst the system and should be delt with by operatives aswell as agents.

5. Make Charactor customization alittle more awsome, give players the ability, to even before taking the red pill, they can choose to be a program or human, start off with the machines, and you start of with a cheap knock off of the agent suit and clothes, if you want to be merv, you can choose to be able to gain abilities like the vampire bite, or the lupine abilities, they would be in the awakened area, under exile abilities. And you would start out with the blood on your charactors lips or the lupine skin color with hair and simular clothing.

6. Make a /meatwadd emote kthx... Or change the animation when you suicide to meatwadding.

7.Make 4 new boxes for the PB missions, the last box would have The Box Maker(lvl 100) beating all the boxes would give the player four new awsome items, box 5 would give players that complete and collect all the right items a Golden Shirt, Really good buffs to Mkt, the 6th box would give players a pair of golden pants that help with Guns, box 7 would give players that use MA, item would be a golden coat and the last item, will Give Defense, accuracy, resistance and Damage to all trees, aswell as 10 IS and Health Regain Golden Patchers Headgear.

8. Give Proxy makers more control over the simulacrum, Name Change, Loads(Whatever you can load, your sim should be able to load, except for sim maker of course lol) Give interlock controls to the proxy master, with any abilities the sim has and tactics and such. Also The ability to change your sim to look like it's from your org, like an agent or exile, or some random looking person for zion..

9.More inventory space, email gets old fast.

10. Revamp the market place, add searching features by name.

11. Add a search function to coder library, and fix it so the clothes that have no buffs are scalled to their lvl pls.

12. Add a really difficult org mission to the game so people that have lost or never got the chance to get it can now, Merv Bloom, Piece of the Source and Zion Req.

13. Fix all the loot buggs, Tengu never drops bandanas, I hardly ever see the new guns being dropped, and wasn't the point of them to give them to the players?(not the npcs...)

14. Take everything except resistances, Accuracy, Defense, Damage off of clothes.

15. Add more White Hallways content, they are hardly ever used because you devs do one or two things to them and then completely leave them to die. New content is fine, but work with what you have first and expand on it. I suggest making a 100million info key for unlimited access to a construct of choice through the white hallways.

16. Add more Luggables to the city, inculding an Assassins Mask kthx. This will have people fighting over it like crazy, and it will really make for awsome pvp, fighting for an assassins mask. Hah! What will I think of next?!

17. Add a rare item to those select players that receive max Reputation in their org, make this item so it can only be used if the player has max rep, Machines should get a White Agent Suit Like the Architect, Mervs should get the Twins outfit, and zion should get Neo and Niobe's outfits.

18. Create more challenging Events, more Dev involvement would be nice, just random fights based on the story are alittle less challenging, I suggest making the dev charactors less powerful and more killable kthx. (No mo sploits devs. kthx.

19. Create another really awsome threat to the matrix, I agree the whole at war with zion thing is fine, but zion is boring and is only a minimal threat. We need something stronger to fight and more killable.

20. Add more variations of clothing, in different colors and such, for more customization.

That thur are my ideas, hope ja enjoyed em.
