Yeah so much for those spies who genuinly wanted to rep their vhcs after hunting and shizzle...

it may not be for long but heh it's gonna stop them for a while especially the ones who specced rep purely to rep their vhcs instead of paying asg prices O_o

The monk isnt much effected by this as far as i tested.

Thank You!!

Oh, and before you all scream, reduce Repair Xp to nothing..

What about all us Repair Tradeskillers out there? So I get jack jones for Repping equipment and items at Plaza?

This is the problem:

Even a small amount of Repair Xp, was allowing people to sit and repair for hours on end, thus racking up huge amounts of Xp in three Skills.
Like Researching Punishers, although that's a lot more annoying to do.

At the end of the day, yes, it's fairly sledgehammer, but then again, if maybe the entire feckin' server hadn't abused this, it wouldn't have happened.

Maybe if people had stopped when Reakktor had asked, this wouldn't have happened, which is a tad much to ask, I know.

Reakktor might have been able to ban people for doing it, and it might have been more effective, but then again, people would have kicked up a storm in a teacup about it.

So a harsh fix, but a working fix.

Although I agree, ASG Repair costs should be free or seriously reduced, for the duration of this fix.

I think the combat drivers will get a serious problem due to the fact they cant repair theire vehicles without going to a maybe camped ASG. I dont really think they went out hunting hoping the vehicle would get damaged so they could gain a little exp on that. No this is an mistake. Nerf the repair exp gain and return the remote repair tool.

You (continuing-repping-)guys, are exploiting a weak game mechanic, either deal with the disable, or ask for getting banned.

Keep your abusive language to yourself [ edited ], because I know for a fact that a certain clan with a certain person in it had most of their members doing this exploit, all goddamn day, every goddamn day.
I know because I sent screenies of all of them to Abuse, as well as killing a few of them.

from reading that i would guess you dont have a combat driver so you have no idea what this means for ppl who hunt in trikes, theres only a few asg's on the map, when your trike is almost dead it costs alot to get it repped at an asg and the chances are there could be ppl camping there waiting for drivers to come back to get an easy kill.

I said REMOVE the exp, not "reduce to nearly 0". They can reduce the exp give for poking epic chips so im damn sure they can remove the exp give for repping!

o0 if you say so....
I think you will find zero is a lot more effective at stopping an exploit than next to zero dontcha think? Or do you not wanna concede that point MM? Yes the exploiting has to stop but disabling the tool is NOT the way to go about this one.

21-07-04, 21:48
they dont fix the exploit because they dont know how, or dont have the man power to look into it. Their dev team is kinda getting tired and instead of trying to fix it, they just take the easy way out, and disable the tool, should have seen this coming, always the neocron way. the easy way out..

I dont care who or what you saw. I was not there on my monk or any of my chars. So dont even try to assume that i was. I dont even know what clan you are talking about. I have a pure resser/repper and i would of rather seen the Xp set to ZERO instead of this. At least people could still repair there VHC's. It's only fair that way.

Under the current definition of repping and exp....wouldn't the tradeskill in itself be an exploit? Or is it just the people using the skill that are exploiting? I really wouldnt mind NOT having to pay 24k to have my trike repped every ten minutes thank you KK. Make ASG reps free or reinstate the tool with zero exp.

I know how much this is going to hurt Combat Drivers, I have one, near capped, and he is 100% VHC, 80% Hack, and 20% Weaponlore.

It costs about 40k to repair a fully damaged Trike at the ASG, and they get damaged easily, so it's going to hurt.

However, I get the feeling that there are a fair few people in here whining, that are neither Combat Drivers, nor VHC Repairers (Legitimate mind), and I know for a fact that one person in this thread, is, as I said, a member of a Clan which actively pursues the exploit.

So, it's very much a self-inflicted punishment.

Maybe if people had also done a bit more about people who were using this exploit, this wouldn't have got so far. I've killed over a dozen people using it, because as I said, it's cheating. We should've killed more people and Lexxored them.

They might have given up on that particular pursuit.

Anyway, my Combat Driver is going to be hurting, but as a Clannie, I'll simply ask for funds from the Clan cash, or from people I'm with, whenever I'm in an Op War or Clan related conflict. I know this wont be an issue.

Oh, and anyone now riding with me, will be charged a few 'k for the privilege.


Under the current definition of repping and exp....wouldn't the tradeskill in itself be an exploit? Or is it just the people using the skill that are exploiting?

No, the tradeskilling is fine, it's an active exploit involving vehicles which aren't damaged.

As for the poster that mentioned being unable to Op War, as I said, take a chip in from the Clan, that's what I'll be doing. Should cover me.


Couldn't they just be sensible about it and stop the tool from giving DEX XP?

Dex, Int & Str. It'll cap all three of those easily enough.

Ahh, now we see the REAL mindset. Once again, KK is punishing the players for something that is due to KKs faulty work. It's amazing how many things this game has that have to be called "exploits" because KK didn't think something through (repair XP), or didn't playtest something (turret placement in OPs), or don't know how to fix it (pushing AFK or dead people over zone lines), or can't develop a way to stop it (tank self-leveling CON).

The cost to fix my rhinos just went thru the roof. Not to mention the time involved, now when my vhc's are fucked up I have to drive all the way to a asg to get repped if I make it that far. This is a wretched decision, normally I don't complain about stuff but this is just plain stupid :rolleyes:. If this is their answer at least make it so vhc's don't take damage as easily, so we don't have to drive to the asg every 5 minutes. The XP problem is easily resolved. Solution ideas below...

1.) Only gain xp of damaged vhc's ( DUH! O_o )

2.) Multiple TL of remote repair tools. Make the tools that can repair a x TL cost more to further make repair leveling costly.

3.) Remove repair skill doubling on remote repair. Thats just plain stupid anyways, remove it all together. You should have the skill required just like any other trade skill.

4.) Set a timer cap on XP gained from repair so that you can only get so much at a time. IE only x amount per 10 minute proportional to your rank.

5.) Only gain xp of things you should gain xp off of. Similar to how gray creatures work, after a certain point no extra skill is gained from said tl repair. This should apply to all tradeskills not just repair.

Of course while they have the tool disabled they should remove cost to repair from asg in kind. Just cause its not really fair to those who don't abuse the repair skill, and actually need to repair their VHC's once and a while without spending 1mill to do it :wtf:


ok end rant lol... Just annoyed my vhc's will now collect dust...

OK "see" this and "read" this. KK have just killed the driver class. No one can afford to pay for the reps to their vehicles if they take them out hunting.

For sheer cost effectiveness, it's the ideal PvM weapon.

I've stopped playing for the mean time due to the crappy loot that coudlnt' support my recycle needs lol. Now I can't repair my vehicle on the hunt . . . *sigh*

I suppose it doesn't matter since the loot is still the same so no change and I can only hope that it's all settled and working again when the loot is fixed .. but hmmm who knows :(

Amfest: !8ball Will the repair situation be fixed by the time the loot is adjusted?

On the same note, I have to say, any serious Combat Driver that hasn't managed to obtain a Reveler by now, has issues.

For sheer cost effectiveness, it's the ideal PvM weapon.

OK "see" this and "read" this. KK have just killed the driver class. No one can afford to pay for the reps to their vehicles if they take them out hunting. MM, please explain to me your reasoning behind why you believe removal of rep exp is a worse idea than the removal of the rep tool. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

I dont say that the removal is a bad idea, i just say, that it doesnt work. Not for the prinziple, but by other facts i dont go into detail, allthough the exploiters know pretty well.

Or alternatively, go have one or two good hunts, get, what, ten Techparts, and trade them for a Reveller.
Things are within easy reach, you just need to be able to talk a good game and negotiate.

At the same time, to get 600k, you only need 6 Techparts, which are easily gained. (This loot drop crap doesn't sit with me, I have no issues, just find the special times to hunt)

Wait, I thought it was 300k? Or is that including the 300k for hopping back?

My spy will be eaten alive on a reveler as I have no way to gun and drive that at the same time if I get in trouble. the trike protects plenty enough and gives me massive dmg while still retaining the ability to drive away. Also a Reveler would require a drug to gun in that sitting duck vehicle for one person. The Reveler isn't for everyone.

For some reason, I keep assuming Combat Drivers to be PE's.

I understand your worries there. However, an idea is to find a friendly tank to do the gunning. There are lots of people open for that kind of team. Quick kills, good exp. Just work out an equal loot share.

Although I understand solo is often preffered.

You know i've had problems finding people who will gun AND can survive Grim Chasers and Percs in the back gunners seat of my trike. You see I can kill a Grim Chaser in around the vicinity of 30 seconds or so on my trike with my spy. I've had tanks that want to gun and end up jumping out and running before long and sometimes die -_-;;;;;;;;

Because most tanks that are higher level would rather gun a rhino if anything. Also not gunning myself is really damn boring. I end up like a ppu bitch so to speak >_> And if I wanted to be that I'd be a ppu. I dont' want to leech XP or ask to share loot .. I want to aquire it on my own and know that the xp is my own. I just sucks that after 2-3 chasers I"ll have to run my trike back to the garage :(

A TT trying to use the TH ASG is just in the wrong place. Same with a CA at TG. They've got nothing to do there.

I got a H-C PE. I couldnt care less about remote repair being disabled. I earn so much more money than it takes me to repair the vehicles at the ASG. And vehicles are fast (well kinda o_O), so its not a problem to get to an ASG to get a quick repair.

"OH NOZ EXPLOIT PATCH HEWS WITH A BRICK WALL!"

That's what this amounts to. Problem with poking? Remove the poke tools. Monk exploit? Remove monks.

This isn't a fix, it's an anal raping of the game. I am so fucking sick to death of KK pulling this shit.

yes it was exploiter foult to use it and not hide it atleast. And the somthing had to be done am just realy pissed that they did it this way, they could atleast remove xp gain from rep tools.

And i do have tradskiler driving spy who dont use guns and hes dex and int is about 80 now(after 2 weeks of lvling) and i do rep my sht all the time so don't go around acusing evryone and or don't say it's my foult cuz it's not but it's urs in some sence even tho u did the right thing.... don't get me wrong but this is one more reason for me to stop playing and it's been hapening alot latley......

I'd rather have no exp than no Trike :mad:
What gets me most is that if people weren't exploiting stuff like this there wouldn't be a problem in the first place. Yet KK are the ones everyone's blaming, not the actual exploiters. This is why Maloch should be able to name and shame in this case IMO - because nobody knows who is exploiting and therefore who to blame, they blame KK instead, because it's much easier.

Remember all the threads about tradeskill XP before it got boosted? How people asked why it was so low, were told because it's possible to exploit it, and called bullshit? KK ups the tradeskill XP, within a week people are exploiting it. This community makes me fucking sick.

Exactly mate, that's exactly it.
I swear, you give some people an inch, they'll be off with your wife before you've blinked.

So what we have here, is Reakktor getting it right first time, but unfortunately, listening to these Forums, which are filled with whining peasants (Not all of you mind!), they changed things, and it went tits up.

heh, there is no pain but disapointent. let me put it to u this way since u clearly have problem undersanding somthing, if u'd just shut the fusk up and stick to the rules (E-MAILING ABUSE@NEOCRON.COM) this would not have happend, the problem would ov been sorted maby later but not in such matter as this but since u had to post about it 2 times a week screaming here is the exploit and kk doesnt do anything u left them no chois but such actions.......is that clear enough?... not to blame anyone or anything :rolleyes:

walk right into a major corp. (say Ericsson (mobile phones)) and demand to
see their financial reports. Then they have to show you since all of that stuff
is considered as public acces here. I wonder if they have anything like that
in Germany where you can actually look-up how much a company makes / spends

Bwahaha, go and try that,

It has to do sthg with their legal kind of company, nothing else.

They have to make their bilances public ones a year. But that is it.
Thats to provide info on their shares, you actually BUY THE COMPANY.

But i doubt any company would allow others (maybe companies of the same kind but not allied) to view the current cash flow.

Let's say they come here, and tell us that the methods they have for changing XP on tradeskills are limited to only reducing the XP, and it's already at the lowest they can make it without patching. So they've disabled repair tools instead. What will happen? They'll get bitched at because their server controls don't let them turn off the XP. They can't win, no matter what, so there's no point in trying. Maybe if the thread wasn't full of people saying how much KK suck and so on, they might not be quite so bothered.

Like I said. They make a bad decision, they have to live with the consequences. What they could (and should) have done is take the servers down for patching when it became an issue the first time and kill the XP.

Small thing regarding the shares aspect:

Don't know if it means anything though to be honest (the Ltd. part is the key, but I didn't do business studies ;)).

@above: And get bitched at for taking down the servers without warning and removing tradeskill XP? Like I said, they can't win without properly fixing the exploit, and that takes time, time which CoDi likely doesn't have with the server problems atm, and NC2 on the way.

So if I buy 1 share of KK's stock i would have the right to view this?

And the reason is that I would like to see how much money they make and by
doing that see if they could afford to hire some extra manpower. God knows
it's going to be needed, especially when they launch the Sep. 1st hotfix...erm
i mean, the expansion, erm... doy, now wait, BDoY... no wait, wtf, NC2... yea
that's the one.

The reason again is because whenever things like this happends KK fire up
the sledgehammer and nerf the game. Now every once and a while people
ask "Why dont you fix it allready and release a hotfix" and KK's response for
the past year has been "We are short on coders right now as we are using
most of our time developing neocron 56 - Beyond OZ-ASG" while at the same
time they take our money to keep neocron up & running and for fixing it
whenever something breaks down.

If you'd concentrate on MoBs you would pretty easy reach the costs. Unless you dont know what ya doing

I think most of us like to make a profit when hunting. And if your hunting with a Rhino, theres nothing you can hunt that will cover the cost and be worth while to hunt... That being said forget mobs for a sec, pvp costs "when vehicles are used" skyrocket as well. Not only that but you can't have someone emergency repair in the field when taking on a op or whatever.

I've lost millions of credits on remote repair nanites legitimately, though. I levelled ages ago as a pistolero, and spent millions stocking up on nanites for repairing my vehicle during op wars. Now I've got millions of creds worth of paperweights. This change is effectively in line with stopping the Executioner from firing and saying "WEL U HAV SLASHER NUB HAHAHA".

The amount of exp was disproportionately high for the task you were doing. Also due to the nature of remote repair it was being abused with people repairing what didn't need to be repaired and lvling while afk, which isn't something you are meant to be able to do in the game.

Edit: can't speak for swg specifically as i've never played it but in all mmo's i've played (about 6 or 7) macroing is considered exploiting and is against the rules. Games are meant to be played by the player not by a program to give them an advantage over other players who lvl skills legitimately.

Yes i knew that. But reaching 20 PSI as a spy or 10 as a tank is piece a cake. But 35 skillpoint by doing missions is jusst sad. How come PEs get PSI XP when teaming with anyone ? A PE only need to reach 25 PSI. Having the same way on monks gaining DEX wouldn't hurt anyone.

As it is on sat, you cant even do missions, unless you want to relog every single time you get a new one.

This is not meant to fuck over monks!
I know monk dex is a pain in the ass to cap. And i know theres not many ways to do it.
But repairing a rhino or any other vehicle gave way too much xp. And even after the xp nerf, it was possible to just stock up on remote repair nanites, tape down the mouse button and go afk. Because money doesnt mean shit in this game.
And THAT is exploiting. And so many people did it, there was no other way to counter it than to completely remove XP from it.

Got it? Its not forever. It isn't meant to fuck over monks. Its just a fix. So calm the fuck down. Thank you.

STFU with racism

Would u buy a car if it had the build quality of neocron? Would u fuck :rolleyes:




Yes but the state of nc has nothing to do with the creators nationality. Inferring that is giving the impression a certain racial group is incapable of certain task for the sole reason that they belong to that race...hence where you comment was verging on racism.

As for macros in swg, if the creators have added it in then thats up to them, but as i said almost all other games creators don't allow it as it removes skill and fun from the games. (removing fun not just from the player who has the choice, but other players who don't exploit and find themselves hindered because of it)...Unless you think everyone should exploit so we can remove mobs from the game and have all noobs start with a remote repair tool to fix the tanks in mc5? :rolleyes:

Macros alone were enough to ruin it though, the chance to be a jedi by macroing made it even worse. Macroing or even afk leveling = instant death to any moorpg. Sony just didnt realise that. And now the game is fucked.
Not to mention the completely screwed combat system with combat professions that cant do shit and others who can bring down armies. o_O

Any exploit can ruin the fun had in a game or even ruin a game altogether. Here's an example back in the mid 90's on the GEine network (this was dial-up at 2400 baud) was the first online battletech game (EGA Multi-player Battletech) the server was almost aways full (I believe it was capped at 400 players at one time, not sure been awhile) well an exploit was found where a merc could take a mission with a House member and he could set the pay out for the mission at what ever he wanted (millions of credits) all that had to happen was the house player to die during the mission and the merc win, well what happened was in about 30 days the game was dead with less then 30 online at any given time, Oh yes as soon as the dev's found out about the exploit it was fixed but it was too late the damage was done. It's better to not use an exploit to gain anything in a MMORPG even if you don't think it's hurting anything or anyone...

Having now played my vehicle PE for a few hours, I can unequivocally state:

THIS IS TOTAL HORSESHIT!

Vehicle users are reduced to hanging around a depot, or moving pretty directly from one depot to the next. Any sort of prolonged hunting or PvP is impossible.

I just spent several days releasing all the INT, STR, and DEX points on a capped PE on Saturn to LoM her to vehicle/hack/poke/repair/recycle/HC tank gunner, and I'm pretty pissed. This is hours and hours of my time WASTED as combat vehicles are gimped now, and next to useless.

I am not one to bash KK at every oportunity, but this is just pathetic, heres an idea, make the remote repair tool give NO experience, yes this may be difficult but taking away a whole classes (vhc pe/spies) ability to do ANYTHING effective is beyond description, what were you thinking when you put this chnge through?

Pathetic.

You can blame the muppet who posted a hint to the exploit yesterday. Didn't give full details but gave enough for people to start copying it.

Shame really some people can't use the stuff as the game intended.

Odd as it may seem, the Remote repair tool gave a good advantage in Op wars with Rhinos.

Remote Repair tool giving no XP is probably the best reasonable fix.

Scikar
22-07-04, 10:00
KK have already shown that they can't lower the XP for repair alone, only for all tradeskills. Doing so would bring every levelling tradeskiller here instead of every vehicle user.

I can't see a reason why they shouldn't bring tradeskill XP back up now though. Regarding Maloch's thread, there have been many posts before now which hinted more strongly at the exploit than anything he posted yesterday did.

If people didn't exploit in the first place, there wouldn't be a problem. Blame them. Just because you don't know who they are specifically doesn't mean it's suddenly KK's fault. No matter what they do at this point they'll get bitched at.

It's not like after the xp nerf remote rapairing gave good xp, and the moron that claims you can cap dex on a spy doing it should honestly have tried it.

. Macroing or even afk leveling = instant death to any moorpg. Tell that to hundreds of thousands of people playing FFXI

The macroing in that game is lovely, even botfishing is allowed as long as your there and when people were doing afk you know how square sorted? They didn't block it out, they didn't nerf, they just added some code that if you was stood in the same spot for certain periods of times you'd start pulling junk instead of fish.
Without macroing there'd be to much menu scrolling at vital times, the quick belt imo is a simplified macro really....

Macroing is a great feature if people did it right, in ffxi i can macro most things and as a White Mage it is a absoloutly vital tool for keeping a part of a 50 man party alive.

Half of the reasons are why i think tradeskills should a be seperate section of their own so they can be exp'd differently etc but thats imo

Jeezes.

Does anyone here that complains about remote repairing even have a repairing driver?

YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED IT BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN !!!!!

XP gains on remote repairing sucked bigtime.
It costs an arm and a leg in nanites. (now repairing from an asg costs even more than that)
Click it too fast and your tool is useless, you have to do something like get in and out of the vehicle to make it work again (pretty much sucks when you're under fire).

At higher levels of dex +60 it's not even worth the xp to repair stuff, you're better off recycling weapon parts for people, at least then you can make some cash.

I sure hope they get this patched pretty soon, maybe to something where xp levels are back to normal and you can only repair up to the point where it's 100%. Because right now my situation is like this:

Rareparts drops are fucked up.
Can't repair rhino anymore, so have to stay close to asg, which costs a LOT of cash. There sure are gonna be gankers near the asg's waiting to blow up the incomming 3% health rhino.
Forget op wars in a rhino or any other combat vehicle.

22-07-04, 11:23
so do you believe that people should be able to bang out a great constructor without having to do anything?
Yeah...

If that's what you managed to read from that quote O_o

or a different system for Tradeskilling altogther

Why should i be able to bang out a uber leet constructor or researcher ot be a great barterer of prices because i can repeatedly shoot the same mob with rifles thet gradually get better and better?

i can perform medical practices like implanting because i can kill a mob?
I learn to drive my vehicles by.... wait let me guess... shooting mobs, i think you should have your skills in another window, when you start using that skill you level it slowly, say after 20 builds you earn a level in cst and gain however many points. Or you drive your vhc and as you level you gain access to better vehicles, get cheaper reps at the garage, get special discounts of next for test driving, having tradeskill missions, get more skill at driving ie moving faster (think thats about the limit of the engine) or being able to to buyupgrades for the vhc and find a skilled cst to install them.

Then actually FIX the system so it's worth being a 220+ Resser/barter/cst/imper etc and you have another line of things, i don't see how the fact i can shoot things qualifies me to perform brain implants etc and i know it's not realism etc.... but there still has to be some sense to things//

Thanks exploiters :)

Any chance you can make vehicle repairs free kk?

Its only fair. I used remote repair the way it was supposed to be used. I have a combat driver. What am i supposed to do? A grim chaser takes my trike from 100 to 50%. Thats just one grim. WHat do you expect me to do now? go repair after every grim i fight.

I'm sure you couldve found a better solution than to do away with the tool entirely.

enigma_b17
22-07-04, 11:46
i agree, it was a way overboard solution to the problem, I mean removing exp from repairing completely would ave been a more ideal solution, but disabling the tool altogether effectively prevents those few vehicle users out there from hunting/lvling or what ever effectively

Research XP is really muffed now, needed only a few more points to get another INT lvl.....well it just stop 2 points short so I did like 12 TL 80 BP's and what do you like happened? Not a dam thing changed to TL 86 BP's did another 8 of those still nothing, Oh I did re-log twice just to make sure I wasn't bugged. I did get those two points by doing a quick mission.

So a quick re-cap doing 18 high TL BP's to get 2 XP points in INT "NOTHING HAPPENED, NO POINTS"

I'll try this again at the next INT level to see if it does it again.

This is a far better post than what's been floating around here recently. While i dont agree the repairs should be free, I do believe the cost should be lowered drastically, at least until a permafix is found for this.

See the 15 page+ thread below (or maybe above)

Cost should be lowered to where repair nanites cost you at 100 repair skill.

(i got 123 myself)

And even then i'm gonna lose rhinos to asg campers.


I think they underestimated how many vehicle users there are.
I'm sure there are more than there are pure repair tradeskillers that'll complain if the repair xp is temporarily taken away.

Yeah, tradeskill xp is (surprise surprise) BUGGED like that.
You have to move to another zone to see it go up again.
It'll always stay a couple points below your next level if you stay in the same zone.

Don't make me out to be the nasty man in this situation, because I'm not. I've been spamming Abuse for ages, they frankly, don't appear to give a toss. Also, there were already dozens upon dozens of people working on the exploit. So if it takes making a post, getting maybe another dozen or so into doing it, but it gets Reakktors notice, then yay.

I seriously doubt that the post I made yesterday, between that post and this fix, saw hundreds of people running off to exploit.

So if I fucked a lot of people, then hey, I didn't, Reakktor did, and the exploiters did. You're just angry because you can't accept that harsh things have to happen sometimes.

[Edit]Actually, a rough figure sum for you:

When I made that post, that was because, between myself and the rest of my Clannies, we had managed to come across, no less than 24 people working on the exploit.

Taking the piss, quite frankly. That was in a ten minute gap. Not counting all the other people I'd been coming across. So it was already spiralling out of control.

Is it, really? I don't think so. Read some of these posts from people screaming about how shit the game is. They sound fairly ill-adjusted if you ask me, because they're not taking the time to step back, and say, "Okay, so this has been changed... Ah well... *Breath*..."

"and how this has destroyed their lives and had their house burnt down because of it.
Get a grip, I say again."

this is ur words, and it is exaggeration is it not? so dont make me link this to dictionary.com ... ah just in case teh link (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=exaggeration)
