Ask the Devs an MXO question v.6

**Rarebit** · 04/10/2007 13:02:50

[Previous editions of the "Ask the devs" thread can be found in the Archive Construct.]

Hello, and welcome to the "Ask the devs an MXO question" thread. This is where you can ask a question relating to MXO, and have us respond with an answer of some sort. Ground rules:

1) Only the first question after the last dev/admin reply will be considered. This means that if I make a post, then Player1 makes a post with a question, and then Player2 makes a post with a question, only Player1's question will be answered. Player2's post might even be deleted to keep the thread clean (*makes mental note to remind self to beg Walrus for post-deleting power*). Player2 will have to try again later!

2) This also means that if Player1's post contains two questions, only the first question will be answered

3) Keep in mind that it is community/designer people we have here, so don't expect anything other than obviously made-up answers to highly technical programmy questions.

4) This is not a feature request thread! The answer to "why isn't [feature I really want] in the game" questions will be mostly along the lines of "because we couldn't/shouldn't/wouldn't do it," so you might not want to waste a question on things like that.

5) On the other hand, questions about quirky things currently in MXO are encouraged! Why is Ghost bald now? What does Walrus keep on the wall of his cubicle? The answers to these and other such questions could be yours.

6) We may not know the answer to a question, or we just may not be able to answer it for some reason. But we will, at least, say that we don't have the answer, which is sort of an answer, in a way.

7) Responses may not be timely, because we may hard at work on something, such as sleeping. Please have patience, and do not spam the thread.

8) We can't answer questions relating to future releases!

9) We can't answer questions relating to story spoilers.

10) Questions that have been edited are automatically disqualified!

11) We can't answer questions regarding specifics of SOE staff; we also can't answer questions that really belong to other SOE departments, such as Marketing or Customer Service, and this isn't the place to ask questions about exploits, player bans, hacks, etc.

So, who's got a question?

Sykin

What would you like to know that you don't about the Matrix?

**Chimaere**

What about an update for the marketplace?

Best wishes,

Whatever I don't know I just make up, so it generally isn't an issue. I guess the stuff I don't know and can't make up is a) old event stuff, which I eh have mostly heard about second or third-hand, and b) player stuff, which I sort of take as I can get it.

Are you ever going to work on Female suits? If not should I sit in the corner and continue crying?

Do you read your copy/pastes to check they're right before posting them?

aka "version 5 ! (4 didn't last long... That silly phantom last page got annoying." SMILEY

You stole my sneaky question! Was going to wait a couple of pages for fun though. SMILEY

Hmmm question (in case of some fluke of being after Rarebit)....

We have the High-Res copies of the Chapter 1 cinematics, do you think that we'll ever get High-Res copies of Chapters 2 - 4?

I plan to look into it at a certain point.

**Frink**

Any plans for level 50 enhanced Baseball caps?

Acquinas

Would you ever consider LEs with more assistance from PCs? Or a perhaps a division of PCs that help operate LEs?

Not specifically.

We do? Where/when did we get those? Hm this sounds vaguely familiar... Can you tell I'm not the right person to ask about this stuff? Uh... Anyway, I guess I would tend to doubt it.

I am still very new to MXO, but from the times I have spent playing, I am hooked. I just have two questions/concerns about the game.

1) Will the combat/targeting/movement ever get some love? As an advanced gamer, I find the controls to be somewhat slugish and the camera gets annoying at times when executing a special.

2) One of my favorite scenes in the movies is the freeway chase, any chance of something like that being added, specifically being able to ride a motorcycle or car?

Thanks for your time.
