Matrixing, causing me some problems - Page 2

The Matrix System is AWESOME

Except for the lag portions. Marduk was THE place to be today, like 60 Vanu's and 20-30 Terrans duking it out, it was nuts

Matrix system has bored me to tears. I'm done with the game till it's changed.

The matrix system is the best thing to happen to PlanetSide. Cya Yogi!

Bored you to tears? Oh, cut the drama. You can still go do your thing by yourself if you'd like. You can always go cause havok behind enemy lines, you just can't go hack bases alone anymore. You can still hack WHATEVER base you want. You don't need to follow the Matrix lines, it just takes longer and more effort. All you need to do is destroy the generator and the terminals in the base, and it will use NTUs to repair itself. Once the base runs out of NTUs it will go neutral and you can capture it.

While I agree they are going to have to iron out some of the XP rules for capturing bases now, SJ has already states that they are making some changes to it, and I'm sure they won't be the last.

I don't really see the problem here... unless your computer sucks. And even then, it's your problem.

I guess you think waiting an hour or two for that to happen is fun.

Enjoy your game.

Waiting an hour or two? How about defending my position.

Oh, and I will enjoy my game. No need to be sarcastic about it.

[Edit : And the Devs have already said NTUs were not being used up properly, so bases were taking longer to use them than planned.]

Yogi · 2003-04-26, 04:25 PM

The devs have also said the lattice changes are not final as well. I'll be lobbying for some radical changes to the system until the day its released.

I'll be as sarcastic as I like. But that's your problem.

Virtuoso · 2003-04-26, 04:26 PM

Wasn't complaing. Was just saying you're wasting your time with the sarcasm because I will infact enjoy my game.

Right Yogi, I'm sure they'll change the game because you can't go be a phantom hacker anymore. You do realize everyone else hates that right?

You assume too much. I've never played the role of the stealth hacker. I hate that as much as anyone, but this lattice thing isn't the end all answer to it.

I'm more upset that my squad has become useless. We can't take a base ourselves. Unless we've got 4 other squads together we can't do shit right now. Might as well expand the squad size to 50 so you can accomplish something now.

There ya go... the more teamwork the better!

They may have to increase the amount of lattice lines in order to spread things out a bit more. That way squads wont feel so "useless" in the heat of battle. On the other hand, there could be truly elite special forces squads that can overcome insane odds like the Delta Force, hehe.

Robot · 2003-04-26, 05:02 PM

Oh no! Now we have to use TEAMWORK in an FPS game!!!1

SONY IS THE GREAT SATAN

Yogi · 2003-04-26, 05:39 PM

My squad has plenty of team work. But if I don't combine my squad with 5 others, we can't take a base. That's excessive forced teamwork to me.

Why the hell do people keep trying to put words in my mouth and making gross assumptions?

Because typing out, "SONY IS THE GREAT SATAN" is more fun than typing out, "Clearly, your argumentive point is invalid because of this, this, this and this."

editor's note: sony is not really the great satan. thank you.

I'd like to see why you believe my point is invalid. I enjoy a good debate. One that of course doesn't devolve into name calling. That's what Tribalwar is for
