LMAO! So let's get this straight... it's like CoH because they're in a city but, uh, they look different and they fight different? This is the same-old, same-old. You're stating it looks like CoH because it's based in a city. I guess the cat is out of the bag - the Matrix movies were based in a city. I guess they shouldn't have bothered making the Matrix Online simply because City of Heroes was going to be based in a city even though they're different games. So I guess that also means WoW shouldn't exist because Everquest does and SWG: Jump to Lightspeed shouldn't exist because Eve Online does. Incredible.

We are flaming it because its not the first time its come up, its widely an annoyance of MXO beta testers every where because we do /not/ feel COH bears any resemblance on COH so whenever it comes up we attack the notion.
"Jacked in" to MO beta, wow... it IS CoH.. just in dull dark green and black instead of bright colours..
And combat is only a tiny part of the game, sure you end up spending alot of time on it, but its the same as any other game, you click, they die.
The problems arise when you go to take a quest, hang on a minute... open door, enter building, beat bad guys with the same names at the ones in CoH, seems ever-so familiar.
If you're a true fan of The Matrix, the thought behind the story not Keanu's ass or Trinity's jubblys, you'll realize this for what it is, another cash in on a successful movie franchise.
Flame all you like, I couldn't care, buy the game don't buy the game, doesn't affect me, just giving my 2 cents.

If you say so. Breaking the NDA To make imperceptive observations won't really net you much credibility.
Oh dear, you seem to have not read the bottom line of my post, I am giving my opinion, not "fact" unlike you, where anyone who percieves the game in a different manner to you is wrong.
And I'm not looking for credability, as to be quite honest, if you "dislike" someone for having different taste in games, or criticising a game you like, you're a bit pathetic.
and if you worry so badly to argue over it then fuking go to another post
Classy.

Tempted to break NDA, but I don't have to. Go check out any article on the MxO storyline and you'll discover within 30 seconds of reading that they have a ton planned for this game. It sounds like you played for five minutes and discovered what all those articles have been saying - the storyline is not yet in the game.
Cashing in on another movie franchise? Hardly. They're expanding the franchise by allowing the game players to propel the storyline past the movies. SWG is the cash-in on a movie franchise. There is no chance at all the impact the outcome of the story. It was already decided in the movies. MxO is offering for players to actually be in the fourth movie and decide its outcome.
CoH... um, well, I guess it's another episode of Super Friends.

Amen. Though I disagree, I like what CoH has done thus far, just hate the grind.
Frankly, I would be eye-balling this game even if it wasn't about The Matrix. The combat is undeniably the slickest produced thus far for any game. I don't even care if the dice rolling behind the visuals are a bit "simple", the animations are fantastic. I guess I am a sucker for fine martial arts in a suit.
i think this game has alot of potential.the immence amount of Detail they put into the city is very pleasing to see...kinda like taking taking a stroll through New York City...only everything has an erie green tint to it and a bunch of super strong martial artists are kicking the crap out of computer programs.

Lol, are you really that gullible. I swear players either have really bad memories or those here have never played any other mmorpgs. Basing your opinion on a game's potential content and plans is just plain dumb. SWG comes to mind, "we plan on adding more planets, territory that can be controlled, smuggling spices in space, troopers that actively hunt you, player bounties, etc"
Ive seen too many game devs who promise the moon and fail to deliver countless times. Reminds me of the idiots who hang on EQ2 praying for a glimmer of hope that pvp will be added (even though they've said it wont be) or the dummies who believe any other promise or rumor..if it isnt the game when i play, it dont matter period.
And to those who keep missing the comparison to COH, we arent talking about both being in a city...big deal. The comparison folks is this....NOTHING to do except combat. Mission anfter mission after mission is not my idea of a mmorpg. And I could care less if combat is different, yeah its nice that an npc will react to a missed move on my part (according to someone else) but who cares if thats all there is to do.
mmorpg is all about social interaction, crafting, looting, housing (and not that zoned crap cough eq2), combat, healing, selling, etc...all i see is combat similiar to coh.
ps. anyone know if preoder $10 deal for beta access is still in effect so I can see for myself ? also where do i get it if so ?

Just visualize the programs you fight as being exiled programs of some futuristic Microsoft OS, it'll give you all the motivation you need to fight :P

Uhm have you read any articles on our beta community? Go ot the main site and see all the things we've done as a community, or radiofreezion.com it has a calendar of upcoming events and im pretty sure a synopsis of upcoming and past events, we definitely have the social interaction down pat, in fact more so than most LAUNCHED mmorpgs, our BETA Community rivals them. We do so much as a community its ridiculous. And where did you come up with this nonsense about nothing else to do besides combat? Have you even SEEN the Coder tree? You can program an array of pets, and craft tools, weapons, clothing, etc...In fact I'm going to post up a new thread with an overview of the 3 main 'trees' (Operative / Hacker / Coder) You can tap data nodes for information, use signal boosters hidden throughout the city to augment and improve your ability to code, there are all sorts of neat loot in the game, dungeons, housing ..well psuedo-housing now (95% of the game world can be inhabited so you could technically just find some random apartment and claim it as yours) BUT they have plans for personal constructs after launch (pocket worlds outside the matrix) these would be like a matrix-way of having a house and could be customized.
(A construct could be anything, like the dojo that morpheus fights neo in, or where Neo loaded up all those guns) so the possibilities of the settings in your personal construct are limitless really. If they so design it, you could live in a castle if you watned to, it would just be its own lil virtual world. I doubt they will develop things like that for 'personal constructs' nor do I know how 'customizable' they will be, but its in the pipeline. And the only thing on your laundry list of things wrong with this game that actually has a legitimate point at this time of writing. Look out for my new thread.

We do so much as a community its ridiculous. This is where you and I differ on things to do. Im just not interested in such formal player-run events. This to me is simply players creating their own content, which they shouldnt have to do. The content should come from the game itself. Heck, Im paying $15 per month to be entertained, not entertain others. Im not saying I dont ever participate in stuff like this. In fact, it sounds like the community of matrix will be mature and fun to be involved with. However, I dont want to rely only on them for my content. Again, sounds promising though And where did you come up with this nonsense about nothing else to do besides combat? Have you even SEEN the Coder tree?

It sounds to me like I can change my toon from day to day, so that might be a good thing. Its quite hard to understand though what exactly this means though. Please explain this part more in details. Ive read the same thing online and dont understand it at all. Nodes, coder tree, in english what does it do and mean to me ??? housing ..well psuedo-housing now (95% of the game world can be inhabited so you could technically just find some random apartment and claim it as yours) BUT they have plans for personal constructs after launch (pocket worlds outside the matrix) these would be like a matrix-way of having a house and could be customized. If its not in the game at present, I wont base my opinions on what MIGHT happen later on. And the fact that it would be instanced housing just plain stinks. The whole point of housing, yes SWG did get this right, is to socialize with friends there, show off rare loot, and for storage. I could only do the last part in an instanced house.

A construct ? Sounds more like zoning an area for personal use. To me, any mmorpg that zones anything besides a dungeon or two is off my to-play list immediately.
WEll all constructs for whatever purposes will be 'zones' that youc ant just walk to...Thats how they were in the movies they are pocket worlds OUTSIDE of the matrix, theres no other way to do them. It's not just a cop out to 'instance' crap.
As for the coder things, I cant clarify too much until you are actually in beta and I can speak to you in game -- when you've set up your account PM me here and I'll be glad to handle any of your questions.

It's not just a cop out to 'instance' crap. Hmm, good point Ill agree with that. It would fit the movies. Training areas (I guess thats what is meant by construct ?) I can see being instance zones to "plug" into. However I still hope the housing isnt instanced though as I'd much rather prefer anyone being able to stunble across my apt while exploring a building or something. As for the coder things, I cant clarify too much until you are actually in beta and I can speak to you in game -- when you've set up your account PM me here and I'll be glad to handle any of your questions.
This part may be whats turning potential players off. It all sounds kinda strange and hard to get a grasp of or picture what it is. I know for me I tried reading several posts about it but I just didnt get it. Still waiting on an email from gamestop telling me what to do on beta (i ordered online so assume its just a keycode and not some disc coming in mail).

There will be no housing in the matrix proper itself. If there is /any/ form of housing it'll be a construct. And constructs can be used for anything, currently we have them in the game for PVP, but they will be expanding in various ways at launch. I.E. Faction and 'clan' constructs for a variety of purpose, and who knows what else.

Well to me the picture looks like CoH with different clothes and moves
LMAO! So let's get this straight... it's like CoH because they're in a city but, uh, they look different and they fight different? This is the same-old, same-old. You're stating it looks like CoH because it's based in a city. I guess the cat is out of the bag - the Matrix movies were based in a city. I guess they shouldn't have bothered making the Matrix Online simply because City of Heroes was going to be based in a city even though they're different games. So I guess that also means WoW shouldn't exist because Everquest does and SWG: Jump to Lightspeed shouldn't exist because Eve Online does. Incredible.

You can program an array of pets, and craft tools, weapons, clothing, etc...In fact I'm going to post up a new thread with an overview of the 3 main 'trees' (Operative / Hacker / Coder) You can tap data nodes for information, use signal boosters hidden throughout the city to augment and improve your ability to code, there are all sorts of neat loot in the game, dungeons, housing ..well psuedo-housing now (95% of the game world can be inhabited so you could technically just find some random apartment and claim it as yours) BUT they have plans for personal constructs after launch (pocket worlds outside the matrix) these would be like a matrix-way of having a house and could be customized.
(A construct could be anything, like the dojo that morpheus fights neo in, or where Neo loaded up all those guns) so the possibilities of the settings in your personal construct are limitless really. If they so design it, you could live in a castle if you watned to, it would just be its own lil virtual world. I doubt they will develop things like that for 'personal constructs' nor do I know how 'customizable' they will be, but its in the pipeline. And the only thing on your laundry list of things wrong with this game that actually has a legitimate point at this time of writing. Look out for my new thread.

WEll all constructs for whatever purposes will be 'zones' that youc ant just walk to...Thats how they were in the movies they are pocket worlds OUTSIDE of the matrix, theres no other way to do them. It's not just a cop out to 'instance' crap.
As for the coder things, I cant clarify too much until you are actually in beta and I can speak to you in game -- when you've set up your account PM me here and I'll be glad to handle any of your questions.
There will be no housing in the matrix proper itself. If there is /any/ form of housing it'll be a construct. And constructs can be used for anything, currently we have them in the game for PVP, but they will be expanding in various ways at launch. I.E. Faction and 'clan' constructs for a variety of purpose, and who knows what else.
