Hey guys, I know it's probably dumb to bring this up with the game so far away, but I think it's best if we like you know sorta keep our minds on teh game - even if a little bit. Gotta keep our goal in mind.
Anywayz to the point - I was wondering what is the thing you hope for the most in The Matrix Online? It doesn't even have to be like plausible.......we all know in reality all of these things can't fit in a game where there's supposed to be lag for only the lagging player, and not for everybody. But still just post your dreams, and aspirations here, Give us your poor, your huddled masses, cuz we want to hear what they are.
I guess I would ahve a combo of things. One would be being able to drive. Who doesn't want to drive? Besides getting place to place on foot (even though they're supposed to have some other kind of means for quick transport) doesn't really show all of the possibilities of The Matrix. I mean Niobe was the best rebel pilot, and possibly the best rebel driver. I'd love to run over a machinist - lol that'd be really cool. (Reason #1 why they're probably not going to have cars) Anywayz the other thing I would hope for would be like....swords and sai daggers...you know melee weapons things like that.
Post all your hopes and fears here people....let's get it started.
-
driving would be sweet, because the city is soposed to be huge, i read in tbones post to the dev that its soposed to be 12x the size of sydnee aus (i cant spell) i just want a good game, a nice online rpg is what i need right about now, since i cant get ffxi since its like 100 bucks
-
I would not mind rides either, I would like to be a transport vehicle driver.
-
I want melee weapons over cars. Katanas, ginsu knives, sai's, kodachis, even bastard swords and halberds would be really cool. And I want more guns, like revolvers, explosives, shotguns, magnums, all the really awesome guns.
The biggest thing I would want is a program where you can animate your own custom attacks. A program outside of MxO were you wouldnt have to be online to create a new custom attack, that if you created you could upload them onto your character(if they were high enough level to obtain it).
Another thing would be to upload mp3's and wmv's. That would make this game sweet.
And the ability to upload insignias onto you character. Imagine us running around, all of us with the data angel on our shoulder. That would be P.I.M.P.(I know, I havent used P.I.M.P. in like a month, but Iouldnt resist)
-
i like ur idea iluvatar with the custom attacks, and the music, but i mean im sure running winamp or something in the background shouldn't take up too much resources. umm for my inputs i'd like melee weapons and i'd like this game to be HARD, not too hard like EQ, but hard enough where its going to take someone a good 6-9 months to get a GOOD character, so none of this selling EBAY crap, and for my own personal goals, i'd like to be able to get a key to get to he backdoors of the matrix, thats what im going to be searching for, or at least visiting it, meeting up with seraf or something with the oracle and i'd follow him in or something, or buy a key off the keymaker. that would be tight.
Zink
-
If you can access anything in the matrix but it will require alot of knowledge on the special matrix code, then you won't be needing that key zink ;)
-
Access to the backdoors would kickass. Hey, maybe that's the quick transportation we'll have. I want each character class to have tons of items that suit their area of expertise. Being a spy, I want telescope microphones, long distance binoculars, tiny hidden cameras, the ability to tap telephone lines, etc. (I could go on all day).
What things would you all want for your character type?
-
i have too many ideas...
but i think itl be nice to see what all comes out of it
;]
-
Yes I'm sure those would be useful Enoc, but then when you think about it..... what would you use it for?Spying on clans?I just have some kind of sense clans will find out the best ways to take care of spies and so we will be left to use our abilities for missions..i'll try to get back to this since i'm having trouble thinking once again..
-
I don't really want anything specific. I just want it to be a really good game, with endless possibilities of things to do so that i will never get bored. It seems like thats the plan so im pretty happy :)
-
Hmm sine I'm a soldier, I would want like alot of artilery. Like, if I was a soldier I'd want like grenades, machine guns, plastiques. I mean if the matrix was real, and I was a real soldier I would ALWAYS bring atleast 2-3 grenades with me...you *never* know when they can come in handy, and they can come in handy VERY much when you're fighting or running away from an agent.
So grenades could be a very useful tool. And I know they'll probably have machine guns and everything, but plastiques would be helpful so sabatoge and like removing a wall and everything.
But with the doors could that be done? Even Neo and Seraph had to have keys to get in....but somehow Smith didn't have too....so I guess ya never know.. :)
-
The bit that is 12 times the size of Sydney is just the starting area, the slums. Thats what ajax said anyway..
-
Oh your right on that eclispe, c4 is a much.I just love bombs.
-
Come on Neb....post atleast some of your ideas....come on...you know you wanna...
-
I'm just saying what I would want for my class. I'm sure us spies will find a way to deal with clans. Besides, the most valuable asset in this game will be information. And of all three classes, spies seem better equipped to get this information while in the Matrix.
You underestimate me young grasshopper...
-
Weapon drop swould be the most plausible things that I would like. Even if the operators are npc, that should mean that as soon as you get a ship, you can ask him to drop certain weapons in certain places. And one way to get around could be to hop into a hard line and jump from phone to phone. It seems pretty fool proof to me, and it could be a way to load up a construct qiuckly. (as in EtM)
-
Iluvatar, i was actually contemplating your idea with the uploaded music a few days ago.
Imagine how cool that would be:
You walk up to a mysterious figure. Suddenly, creepy background music begins to play... You notice the figure's face (also a custom jpeg). You recoil in shock, as you recognize the one whom you thought you had defeated days ago. A fast battle theme begins to play, and you are embroiled in a battle. After you win, the Final Fantasy victory fanfare plays.
Pretty kewl...
-
Yea and you could have like a "roaming" playlist, so when you're just messing around you can listen to your favorite songs.
-
My biggest hope is that the game won't suck.
Maybe my dreams are a bit less of wonderful fantasy... but then again... an MMO that doesn't suck.... Sounds like complete fantasy to me.
-
Come on Tyshalle, be optimistic! :wink: Okay, put forth wants as if the game wont suck.
-
LoL yeah...guys this thread is to list our hopes and aspirations to build up optimism, expectation, and thinking about the game. It's mostly about what we would like in-game things....I wish they could come out with a real virtual-reality matrix. Like you go to a place or w/e and you out on a set, and you're automatically immersed in the matrix universe. Playing with your mind instead of a keyboard. But alas, it is only a dream.
-
I thought I read somwhere that they were planning to have the size of the city unlimited? Maybe that was a figment of my imagination. lol
I'm sure I read that somewhere... mmm..
-

Unlimited size ? Thats the first time I have heard of that for the size of MegaCity... I will have to look into that...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I live by the Truth... I live by the Veritas
-
Wasn't it *just* 12 times the size of sidney? :)
Unlimited is kinda...a lot.
-
I know for sure that the Devs said 12 times the size of Sidney... Your right Orasu... A city of unlimited size can be a quite scary and/or overwhelming...
-
Yep, and in one of the recent interviews, it was said that one of the things they would be experimenting with in beta would be this. Creating the worlds and servers so that it gives the feel of other people being there, but also so small that one can be a 'noticed player' in the world.
-
hmmm Unlimited are you sure? Anywayz unlimited is really too big for me...the thing I want most is an immersing storyline that gets you in the feel of the matrix story....something to keep you on the edge of your seat. IDK but to me the most important thing is the story.
-
I read in an interview that the actual Megacity is flat and neverending, but that the game will be 12x the size of Sydney, like you all said.
-
Woah, like your new scary style Enoc...who is it? :)
-
Havent we had a thread like this already, mayb it was on the other forums... yeah melee weps would be cool that thing go go uses in kill bill shhweeeeeet yeah knives swords flails the usually stuff.
On the subject of cars id prefer for them not to be ingame... if they were to be implemented the person driving them would have to have a least control of them as possible, ie not being able to go off the road, just chooseing your path, and only controling it as a third party, like chaffeur (sp) but without the chaffeur (sp)
cos it would get stupid driving around GTA style just killing everybody.
-
Thanks Orasu. It's Nemesis from Resident Evil 3. I was inspired by Eligohs new sig of Wesker, also from the Resident Evil series.
-
I gotta make a sig of chris then....maybe Mr. X. Or any of the other 1000 cool things from Resident Evil.
-
I think everybody here is experiencing a misunderstanding as to how the weapons are used in the game. As far as i have been able to tell, you don't just like carry around grenades and guns and use them as you please. It seems that when you engage in combat, you have certain abilities, and one or more of these can be the use of a type of weapon. If you've heard something else id really like to know.
-
I agree with you Soma, but I think that certain abilitites are available only when you have certain guns either equipped or in your inventory
Iluvatar: Yeah Resident Evil has thousands of cool things. What'd'ya you think of RE4?
-
Soma, I would completely agree with your idea, if you would have used future tense in your first sentence instead of present.
Lol im just kidding, I completely agree with you idea.
Enoc: For the first time, im glad its gonna be on gamecube. They can do so much more with the graphics than on ps2. And its one of my most anticipated games, along with Metroid Prime 2:Echoes and GTA:SA. Its looking up to be the best Resident Evil, or at least it would be if there were no Leon.
-
I know this will never happen, but ever since I tried sketching case, I've wanted some code wings. Wings made of code, preferably matrix code, and scrolling as well. Not practical (since we can't fly like Neo) but the coolness factor would be out the roof. Plus, I gotta represent the FA, you know...
-
Iluvatar: Yeah, it's gonna kickass. Right now I'm beating RE1 on GC with Chris. I'm gonna miss the classic style of gameplay, but this new stuff is gonna be pretty cool. But I almost cried when I heard "no Umbrella, no zombies". I wonder what's up with the new baddies.
-
I'LL SHOW YOU FUTURE TENSE!!!!!!!!!!!
^
Future.
That's right bitch.
-
....I didnt mean to offend you. And you call me a bitch.
...Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!
*runs away*
-
That toothy zombie is so disturbing
-
LOL Trully how is it even possible that zomnbies ahve teeth? But then again teeth do stick around for a long long time after the body starts to decay.
But to get this thread back on topic Soma, this thread isn't to talk about the real technicalities of what's going to go on inside of the game. It's to talk about what we *hope* or *wish* for....that's why case wrote that he wanted wings...we're not trying to be to physic based here....just like imagination sorta.
-
Well i was just stating that just to make sure that everyone understood. Everyone was talking about types of guns and weapons and having weapon drops and what not. If they were just wishing whatever, but they way they said it it seemed they thought they were going to be able to run around with weapons and were just wondering what types and weapon drops and stuff and i wanted them to realize that this appears to not be what is going to happen in game.
Since were talking imagination, I want to be able to jump off a roof and crush someone. That wud be sweet.
-
nebody know ne thing about amunition, we know that guns are ingame, but what about ammo will it be infinaet, will you have to buy code for when it runs out... ne body have ne ideas?
-

I hope ,Quantum, that my ideas are of any asistance to you. I think that we will have to find ammo around various places or just go to a weapon store , weapon drop off. It would be to corny to have infinate ammo (which I highly doubt the Devs are going to make that) only agents should obtain that ability... Well Quantum I hoped this help
-
Nah...the agents shouldn't have infinte ammo....it would make it way to easy for them....I think that you're going to have to go to specified places to purchase more ammo.
In the actual matrix you had all the ammo you wanted wheny ou jacked in. When they were in the construct they could choose whichever and whatever weapons they needed...and they had alot...
If I was in the real amtrix I would always make sure that I have ample ammo. Nothing would be worse then to be running from an agent and you gun starts to click.
-
Well Eclipse, your right agents probably shouldn't have infinate ammo ... But its not likely we'll see them buying ammo at "Cool Weapons Surplus"
-
Agents shouldn't have infinate ammo, but niether should we. In the ideal matrix world, you would jack in with all the ammo you need, then jack out and jack in again when you needed som more... but i can't see that happening.
-
If they stick to the movies, agents shouldn't have infinite ammo. Remember...
Smith: You're empty.
Neo: So are you.
-
The way Smith looked at his gun when he said that, I thought he was gonna like materilize (sp?) a bullet out of nowhere.
-
Enoc, what you say is true, very true... But there will have to be plenty of weapon stores or drop offs in the Matrix, for the thousands playing..
-
That's why 1) you load up before going into the Matrix, and 2) know your way around Megacity so that you know the best drop spots or whatever they use to refill ammo.
-
yeah, will be just one of the advantages of all us guys, working together...
-
Working together....that has a nice ring to it don't you think?
-
Ya, but remember, me and Zink are more powerful than Neo in the beta, so considering we wont be needing your help to much.
And if you couldnt figure it out, just playing. Im the only one more powerful than Neo.
-
AHAHAHAHAA you're *so* funny....especially when I am the one that more powerful then Neo...
-
Oh, I think I shall prove you wrong. Meet me at the subway in 5 minutes eclipse. We will see whos stronger.
-
(Little do Iluvatar and Eclipse know that hundreds of my copies are waiting to ambush them there.)
-
But dude....we're both stronger then Neo. and Neo could handle the copies. So if we're both stronger then Neo how could your copies mean anything of a threat to us?
Oh and Iluv....Bring it.
-
Elcipse, you now i would win. You are a worthy opponent, but me and my superior skills with my hands due to....unconventional methods will triumph!
-
True ...... but remember Neo did run away eventually. (as will you)
-
Okay, settle down. You both suck and I'll kick both your asses.
-
What!? Have you seen my, um....ok, im out of ideas. You win.
-
Lol man I *so* can't wait until our inter-clan tournament to see who is actually the best in the clan....that will be soooo niiiiiice. (fyi I am actually the best :P) lol j/k tho I think it would be a great way to bring us together and give some of us bragging rights for a little bit, and some of us much needed training.
-
I saw a post a couple of pages back about weapon drops. I was thinkin' that it would be interesting if we could make the drops, like the Osiris had to in the Animatrix, only we could drop abilities for teammates who may not be online at the same time. Or drop code fragments for Hackers to pick up & continue work on...
Maybe even leave a code bomb cleverly disguised as "flying" ability for a waring faction to find. "Don't touch that, it could be **BOOM** - the end of CoD...I can see it all in my head...Where the hell did that house go? Hmmmmm...
-
Well we all know the truth is that i am the best in the clan. Doesn't matter who i can and can't defeat, I'm just the best by principle. So now that we're in agreement, back to being cool.
-
No, by default, I am teh uber 1337 bullet dodger. Thus, I am teh uber 1337 w00t! fighter, who by theory and principle is stronger than you soma.
-
u are the uber 1337 spammer :P
