1) Does that mean the keys still cost 300k or whatever?
2) They gonna be located in the Wastelands or dotted around the cities?

Question on the Clan keys. Do you need 90 Faction Sympathy to buy the key?

Thanatos
30-09-04, 19:09
Yes you still need to pay and have 90 sympathy to create a clan.

Morganth
30-09-04, 19:11
Yes you still need to pay and have 90 sympathy to create a clan.

To be honest with you I think having epic status removed will make little difference as getting 90 symp isn't exactly a walk in the park.

And where do we find the WoC NPCs?

Erm.....question is when will i be able to use my Switch card so I can get stuck in the WOC feature. Im getting pretty agitated ere.

Thanatos

Yes there are Ceres mobs, they are 127 *** and also have a very small chance to drop the Ceres Disks required to get a WoC level. There is no special WoC XP, only normal XP.

why was the "die" emote removed? It looked really good..

Mindgibber
30-09-04, 19:37

"die" is a word in germany -> der, die, das, in english called "the"

"die" = "the"

Thanatos
30-09-04, 19:44
You can still trigger the emote with:
kos
death
kill
dead
bastard

As the above poster mentioned, die is used a lot in German so many sentences triggered a hostile animation even though theey shoudn't have.

Awesome... I can't wait to get home after my 16 hour work day so i can test this stuff out. Woot... long work days = teh sux

Adding WPs all over the place is a retrograde step, this was one of the best improvements. It gave ressers and csters of all levels a way to make a consistent, if meagre, income. Vital for the noobs. Now it's just like NC1 was, ie rubbish.

The NEXT database scripts are still broken and you can't buy High Capacity bps from NEXT FSMs (they're there but won't sell).

Agreed... even though it was going to be a pain in the ass for me, I like the idea of TT only having weapon parts (isn't that how it was in beta - only got to play a little)

Yup, and it worked very well. No idea why they changed it, there's much more obvious stuff needing fixed :rolleyes:

we have a problem though On Terra, For teh Next Epic, we need to contact a Operations director of Biotech, Only one small problem, HE aint there. Can someone spawn him or something?

Strange looking 90/90 chars called [UNKNOWN] in the wastelands. Bug or not?

Carinth
30-09-04, 20:55
Mr Chumble, did you enjoy having to get wp's bp'd every single time you wanted to build something, and having to them buy all the chems to give to the constructor to build the wp's and then build your weapon? As a researcher it annoyed me to no end to have to continualy bp weapon parts. Having to make 100 holy heals is annoying enough, but then having to make 400 or 500 weapon part bps also.. would make me suicidal.

Faction specific items with bp's that require liscenses to build are plenty enough faction dependance. Having weapon parts also was just too much.

He can be found in the restaurant in the same zone as the HQ, but another npc required is inside the pussy club that is closed off or has he been relocated aswell?

Clan key bugs.

1. You can't set the apartment password - it goes blank.
2. It doesn't show me as the apartment owner.
3. FA Clan apartments are in DoY - they should be in Tech Haven!!!!
4. Location of apartment is blank on the clan admin - yet is shown on the key ok.

I'm still having problems with the following:

There are no research, construction, or recycling missions for CityAdmin. I've tried everything from Very Easy to Very Hard. Nothing. It's all Quickjobs or extermination/population control missions.
Missions rarely load completely. I usually get one or two, or it times out and I get none. This is even in zones with no one else but myself.
People "dissappear" from Plaza 1. If I leave my PE logged in on the ground floor of Plaza 1 to poke, many of the people that go up the gravlift and come back down don't show up - not in local, not in person. I can see what they say, but I can't see them. Relogging fixes it.
Half the time when I log out of the client, it crashes.
I'm still syncing out when zoning in Hacknet. It happens every few zone attempts.
Rubber-banding after zoning is back in a big way.

I agree with Brammy, FA needs TH clan apts, or the chance to choose location.
Just like TG imo.

6 hours left on nc2 download.. then i gotta deal with click2pay.. so see u in a week or 2

01-10-04, 07:55
FA was driven out from TH...

And it's neutral ground these days, so how about all clans having the possibility to have their clanapps there?

ino
01-10-04, 08:30
Ok I cant belive anyone havent mentioned the FUCKED up monk pa arm?..

Maby its an known bug since retail start, it worked in beta except for spell animations.

And there are Unknown messed up mobs outside aswell like saken said.

And there are some wierd chairs right outside doy, it is actually a big stone wall :)

tiikeri
01-10-04, 08:33
There is no casting animation of anykind for casting with PA..
Not on my monk nor my tank.

ino
01-10-04, 08:45
Nice one. But you dont have a monk pa with an arm thats is fucked up I mean really messed up and needs fixing asap?

tiikeri
01-10-04, 08:55
:)

In beta my monks right arm looked like >
Tho i didn't notice any faults on him now..

Seven
01-10-04, 09:01

I'm guessing it was changed because "Player Shops" never made it to retail.

ino
01-10-04, 09:04
Ok.. Maby a check files or something will do it.. even if it is a totaly new install of NC..

I was amazed how everyone yesterday could run arround with an arm from hell.. so I didnt care about the pa at all..

Shinto
01-10-04, 12:32
6 hours left on nc2 download.. then i gotta deal with click2pay.. so see u in a week or 2

Yes there are Ceres mobs, they are 127 *** and also have a very small chance to drop the Ceres Disks required to get a WoC level. There is no special WoC XP, only normal XP.

So it turns into another MC5 where PEs and Spys get killed before they can scratch the mobs and never do enough damage to get loot rights!?!

Not to meantion the PKing, Spawn Camping etc...

Come on KK the XP idea was a good one, no particular areas needed to go, now you've pushed everyone together and skewed WoC skill getting in favour of certain classes.

Jesus dont you guys learn from your mistakes!?!

The ceres caves (at least one anyway) have a lot of cover, it is't like MC5.
Stick a DB on them and blast away.

That said, apu/tanks with ppu rectal implants are going to be the ones on trade going 'wts ceres disk for DS'.

Not against the replicants I tell ya that much....
Even though my PPU is far from fully operational, I went down into the Y Spawn, healing.
heal sanct.
s/d.
etc, etc.

Died.
Admittedly seven of them shot me at once, but I near enough, instantly died.

Cyclops' are easy.

Actually no.

I was with a ppu and a tank, they didn't die that slow, I had a libby and he a CS, with a DB it was like killing a lvl120.

It was just that there was 5 of them in that corridor. We got 2 but then we died.

MC5-esque.

Dribble Joy
01-10-04, 16:21
I'd say it was a bit easier than MC5, there are a number of rooms and turns in the corridors that they can't get around (like the holes in the walls) which means you can retreat away and get ready for the next go.

Maybe they changed after beta, I dunno.
