Welp I'm done with it.
The good:
-Interlock combat + many paths + relatively complex stat effects + all abilities avail = could be damn interesting GvG at high lvl's.
-On a top notch system I bet the game is damn immpressive to look at, and if you have enough ram and interlock combat stays in sync it prob looks pretty damn amazing.
-The more games that dont have elves the better
-So many character options (there are like 8 shades of purple alone for each clothing type)
-They might not have been bullshitting about the storyline stuff, tonight on my server (enumerator) Agent Gray showed up in game and met with a bunch of the machinist factions which led to a bunch of speculation and shit talking at the main hangout area (mara central).
-RadioFreeZion, makes the community more fun, I like player-run game radio stations very much (they will suck when they sell out, which they will I'm fairly sure)
The bad:
-You prob need 1gb+ DDR ram to enjoy the game (at least it woke me up to taking advantage of current ram prices +2gb of 3500 are looking good to me right now).
-A potential flaw of interlock is the person who hits first can often just go on an unbreakable (or seemingly at lower lvl's w/ less buffs and abilities) combo's and just destroy their opponent, hopefully that gets more complex and interesting as you get better gear and more stat bonus'
-Each weapon type seems to only have one option per level, obviously not as much time was spent on ranged as melee
-Hacker/Patcher ect are just spells with another name, it really is stupid looking and doesnt fit well, just a crutch to include healer, pet class, nuker to a game...
-the story of the matrix is pretty dumb when you think about it, or its brilliant and I should actually watch the 3rd movie and read some of the backround
none of the factions make much sense to me at all except zion which are just humanist crazy religious psychos...
I'm quitting why?
-Even w/ my computer set up as a DMZ I get dropped every 30min regularly, and shutting down my network for a game is not an option, games should be designed to not quadfuck themselves because people use firewalls/routers..
-I need more RAM
-I still have a tiny sliver of a sliver that FaceOfMankind will pull thru and fix: interface/combatsystem/items/mission reviews and come out smelling like roses... OF DEATH
-There's always another beta of the next big thing... Each game I whittle down what works and what doesn't in mmog's and refine what I think are aspects to look for and what to avoid. Oh and bitching them is often more fun then playing them.
