What's the point???????

Well, I thought I understood the point, or at least part of it. We Homin made a major effort against the Kitin, and we won!!

Then for a full game year, no kitin came prowling around the north shore of Dyron. So, I am thinking, ahh - our victory resulted in pushing the Kitin back a bit from our frontier areas. But NOOO. I was wrong. Today the kitin showed up again.

For those of you that don't know, the north shore in Dyron is the best spot in Fyros for harvesting several types of mats. And this isn't the usual, preds are nearby and agro on herbs sometimes. This is high level kitin mobs patrolling right on the forage spots. And yes, there are other spots maybe more dangerous or harder to get to, but it just seems so pointless.

So if all of our efforts accomplish nothing, then I just don't get the point of playing other than enduring endless frustrations trying to play as a harvestor/crafter.

MxO..i assume is Matrix Online... and I will tell you as a Matrix Online beta tester that the game is far from what anyone was expecting... only cool thing about it is that the story is the actualy 4th installment of the series and will continue to live the Matrix story, one of the main characters from the 3rd movie will die within the first few days of retail and i know that someone will be able to kill Neo if he is strong enough.... but I just didnt like the graphics for one, the missions, the fighting engine...well a lot of it just wasnt my style. I hope you like it....

The problem in Dyron is a seasonal one. After this kitin problem on the north shore, a kipesta problem begins, then it all slows down.

We need to thin out their numbers more by killing more creatures there on a regular basis... and leaving the creature mats where they lay to get a bit of repreive.

It's just something to do Xcom. I have no expectations. Once I'm done there, I'll hit up Eve unless Plarf decides to really move into FFXI...which I'll just do for story mode anyways. I was never into all that mindless fetching of uber alles items. It was about getting through the story. So even FFXI is a temp thing for me...though they prolly have a 3rd expansion by the time I done with all that lol.

having endless mobs is nice "sometimes" but oter times i wish a few Great parties could Clean out all of the Critters for like 30 min for Respawn.

not hey look thes people are fighting/harvesting here so poplo mobs appera right on top of them


thee are many Great Exe+ spots that u need a Party or to just to get more than 1 for a Simgle weaqpon or a Single mat expecally withe the Aggro range on some of theses mobs

Guys diggin aint supposed to be easy, yes i understand mats are seasonal, but mobs are too. And like they make it almost impossible to solo a mob, why should a harvester be able to "solo" while harvesting? its still a skill tree.

okay okay... im not saying that u guys are lvling fast, or its unfair, im just saying maybe they put the mobs there to encourage you to go with a group, high lvl melees, nukers and healers, preferably a guild group. you dig, they hit the mobs. cos every class has to be dependant one each other. melee depend on healers to keep them alive, nukers/healers need melee tanks. and naturally, diggers need all the other 3 to help get rid of preds and other stuff in their diggin grounds, e.g. PR
