Why isn't MxO doing better?

Member Posts: 191
Seriously I like this game, it's not my favorite MMORPG of all time but it has kept me entertained far longer then any other game since EQ. I have station access pass and I have only been logging in to MxO for the last three weeks. EQ2 is fun but for some reason the matrix has me (lol lame.)

Doing mission after mission that are all one of 4 types in the same floor plan over and over again isn't fun.
That and the coumminity kinda sucks as everyone is max level and dont care about new players.

Might i be the first to say the above is a complete bald faced lie.
I suggest you, most likely hired, goons stop trying to make other games apart from your own sound shit?
Why do you do it? I'll tell you. Because your scared. Scared of MxO's awesome-ness. Scared of MxO's potential. Scared of people actually realising that your might, weirdly enough, be wrong.

I’m speaking from my own time in the game. All the buildings basically look the
same, the floor layouts are all basically from a set of 4, mission types only
come in so many flavors, and are basically the same each time when you select
the same type. Here is a run down of the mission system.
1. Select a mission from your provider
2.accept mission (after setting difficulty and time span)
3. Chase after green crosshairs that are never very far from where you are
(Distance from where you are is based partially on the time frame you picked,
and its random to a point what buildings are used)
4. get on elevator to arrive at one of about 4-6 floor plans.
5. do what you need to do... kill, hack, give, or escort.
6. leave area... Done, sometimes they go on depending on what difficulty and
time frame you picked.
7- infinity. Do this over and over again and again... after the first few time
on any tipe of mission you will get bored because each mission is fundamentally
the same for each type, and the buildings are basically all the same each time.
The mission system has always sucked.
Because you choose to disagree with something, or cant realize
its true beyond you love for the game, doesn’t make it a lie.
As far as the community goes, thanks for proving the point.

First off I'd like to say they're at least 20 or more different types of buildings. Mission system is repeative but I could care less since if you actually read my post I said there will be a new quest system in the new patch so now you have a choice on what to do. As far as the community goes, hell I've heard so many people say this is the best community they've ever played with, but whatever. I sure the community in PlantSide or The Saga of Ryzom is better, rofl. Ok that's enough from me.

Sure, 20 or more on the outside, and about 7 layouts
"inside". When you go on that elevator you are traveling to your
instance for that mission,... and its always the same...same textures. walls...
ETC...
As for "will be" that wasn't the topic of the thread nor was it what
the OP was asking. He asked " Why isn't MxO doing better?".
The MXO community is full of people just like you, and that speaks for its
self.
Ryzom has one of the most mature communities in any MMO, people are constantly
helping new players understand the game and become part of the community ..and.
it has a Steeper learning curve than MXO will ever have.
planetside is a completive MMOFPS, so yes, the community gets heated, but that
is to be expected in a game that require real skill to play, competition carry’s
over onto the forums.
So, what’s MXO's excuse? Its full of Matrix fanboyis that do not assist new
players, and in fact SHUN them for asking questions or requesting help, it
about as crappy as Vanguard and their insistent need to tell people to "Go
play WoW".
At least in PS, the guy who just shot you will at least answer a question or
two before shooting you again.

People like me, eh? You know nothing about me, I spent about 7 hours during the time the free trial came out in may on the first day helping people out. I gave out over 50 million, so don't stand here and talk to me as in you know what I do in game. When I was talking about the building, I WAS talking about the inside, 7? come on did you even leave richland? I know about 10 different types of building(inside) in downtown and yes I said know so they're probably more.

LOL why did you first say their where only 4 types of houses and because hes correcting you you have said 20 out side 7 inside where did the 4 go your just trying to slate this game with no idea or knowlage to what you are talking about!

That's true. The extra subscribers comes from CoH/CoV's awesome character creator. That's the only real difference between CoX and MxO.
I'm looking forward to seeing what this "new" mission system is all about. Someone please make a thread here when it's live. Thanks.

I’m sorry you fell that way.
The missions are COMPLEATLY repetitive and Very boring... very little diversity
to be found here.
Im surprised you cant see it, it was the #1 complaint in beta and when monolith
had it, and when SOE got it...
The only reason you don’t see the complaints anymore is because the only people
playing it are the hardcore Matrix lovers.
They are allot like the people that play the crap that is SWG, they only play because
it IS SW!.
And to correct you...COH has ALOT more going for it than MXO.
To each his own.

I said layouts, and no im not going to go count them all
because I really do not have fun in that game doing the same thing over and
over again, but by memory there were only about 4-10 layouts, fighting the same
"thugs" that do the same thing that look the same. Maybe that changes
in later levels, but im sure its just basically the same, same limited set of
layouts and thug types and looks. all still basically looking the same. Its
really boring, and very bland. That’s what happens when you use a
"random" mission system, everything gets very generic (has to be to increase
combinations) and very repetitive.
you can nit-pick my numbers all you wish, i really do not care.
Maybe COH does have a similar mission system, but im very sure there are more
layouts and most mobs look vastly different. Diversity.

Ive played this game for over a year, SOE have done a great job fixing all the bugs and have started to steadly add more content each patch. Most likely i will be playing this game for another year to come. Ive played WoW, CoV etc etc and yet i still feel the need to feed my matrix fix.
This site as with many others really needs to re-review the game. The graphics are great on a decent rig ( you cant beat the fluid animation of a Kung Fu grandmaster duel ) the events have changed from the big laggy affairs from old to the smaller more frequent ones, the community is second to none in my mind and the dev support is top notch, just see the "ask a dev an mxo question" thread in the main fourms.
This game will never challenge WoW for numbers and is sadly going to be classed as a cult game.
The reason why MxO isnt doing better? A terrible marketing campain. Poor reviews from over a year ago that havent been re-newed. People like the above posters not giving the game a chance.
why isnt the game doing better?
because i pwnt all the noobs on syntax / vector so they all cried and left.
nuff said.

It's like being caught in a Tom Cruise popularity party or something.
Pity too, because I had been looking forward to that MMORPG, more than any other game than I had ever played in my previous 26 years.
I suggest ones play the game, by all means. But before you do? Play the "PREVIEW FOR THE MATRIX ONLINE" at the end of the MATRIX: REVOLUTIONS DVD. You'll be shocked between the promises, and the reality that is "now".
It's like being caught in a Tom Cruise popularity party or something.
True. Usually the sci-fi games attract an older crowd though.
*Backs way from the shear falsehood of it all*
The community really is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best a -flegging- around. No one can deny that and no one has the right to disrespect them or the devs.
They've been through A LOT are better for it. You won't be finding a more friendly or mature community than that of MxO any time soon. I can assure you.
It's like being caught in a Tom Cruise popularity party or something.
True. Usually the sci-fi games attract an older crowd though.
Yeah, that's why I was looking forward so much to playing it. It really ticks me off when I think of what it was, and what it became. (See the above post for an example - lol. Then go read the forums for yourself for about 5 days)
