i really wanted to like this game, and to a certain extent i do but it gets boring so fast... Some thinking outside the box is needed.
1. Optimize the code for godsake. 2. Fix the damn bad bugs and stop worrying about flaming hands and equal sillyness. 3. Get rid of all buffed clothes! Clothes are just clothes! This i feel will make everyone a bit individual also. 4. Let people explore the city if they want to, all these restricted zones arent right. Give people xp for exploring, put some more placeables around the place (decent guns, abilities, skills) This i feel will add alot more well needed depth to the game than just missions missions missions. 5. Now i realise this will not go down well with alot of people but i think the Hacker tree should be taken out completely, it just doesnt feel like the matrix. 6. Get rid of coders as well. 7. get rid of all clothing vendors and add those items they carried to the rsi configuration panel. 8. in the loading area allow the gamer to adjust/change their RSI how the see fit, as many times as they see fit.

Why're you making suggestions here? (I still don't get why people do that...) they do not read these boards, they don't even read our home boards for chrissake. On top of that im sure you can expect the code to be optimized and bugs to be stomped out but the game is still going to be ruined because Live Events as we know them are gone. (The entire teams focus is now on bug fixing / balance right now, whereas they used to be development / live event design)
Buffed clothes fit in the matrix more than any other game -- remember everything is just code, so it makes total sense that code could be embedded into these objects, or simply BE these objects -- the visual representation of the code in question is the clothing for example. You can explore the city, it just requires you get the Access Keys, or have a disguise, or simply run real fast / hyperjump (Running throuh areas with the fear of Agents jumping at you was always fun to me heh)
I agree on the Hacker tree, I always thought it simply did not belong, or if it does, certaintly not in its current mage form.
Coders definitely fit, the Merovingian "made" that cake for that girl, thats an example of being able to 'code' things in the Matrix, plus it generally just fits / is plausible.
RSI Readjustment has been a community desire since early beta, but they've never done it, and we'fve never pushed hard enough for it. I believe it should have been in as well, though of course limited.
You can't go in looking like Wesley Snipes and then come out looking Michael Jackson...though I guess that would make sense, I bet if MJ was in the Matrix he'd be white :P (Assuming he got unplugged while he was still black)

Well the original poster asked a question, so i answered him
re live events, well to be honest the "live" events were a load of rubbish anyway, a main character showing their face in mara central for 5 mins does not really do it for me.

Well i understand what your saying about code, but i disagree still. RSI is just "a mental projection of ones digital self" or whatever the hell morph said, its just the look in our minds, no programming takes place by the operator so therefore it cant be hacked. Besides it just wouldnt make sense if it was in the film:
agent smith shoots morpheus with desert eagle. waistcoat absorbs 30 ranged damage. desert eagle does 0 damage.
see it dont make sense!

Yes i did think about that, it does get the heart pumping when an agent spawns near you and chases you up the street, however im thinking about the complete lack of things to do in the game, at least without area restrictions people can wonder and earn xp another way besides fighting, fighting, fighting.
See to get access nodes you still got to fight mobs. im so sick of the damn mobs to be honest.

Yes but the merv is a program from the machine world, which is slightly different to us who have just been awoken and already we are bending the rules of the matrix?? I just dont agree with it really. Besides if they placed skills, abilities, guns etc around the place more and let us configure our own rsi's then coders would be made redundent.

lol @ MJ.
Maybe when we first make our char and we design our face that should be set forever, but things like clothes and hairstyle should be changable to our hearts content, either way, i agree with you, should have been in from the start.
OT Your sig is class. I recognise you on the mxo boards from it as well. u r teh w00t!!!!11ONEELEVENONE
