-Next Epic last mission still broken
-asg at battledome still spawns underground (i think)

Level 1 database mobs now do what feels like normal damage.

Level 2 database mobs. Aggro'd at spiderbot range, hit me once to take me from 309 health to 40 health. Shot me from spiderbot range.
The damage is still way too high. Haven't tried the level 3 DB mobs yet.

NExT epic is still broke at the "cleaning up the Protopharm stockX mess" stage.
YOu can talk to the personel guy but the mission won't stick.
(I know this was mentioned. But, it means a lot to me.)

IE. Brightness, turning the sky off.

There's no cst/res missions for TG & FA.

Edit: Now there are. A bit strange, i updated for ages without getting one and even asked other people trying to get missions. Perhaps a dev did something to the database? :)

Edit2: And now they are gone again. :confused:
Anyone else having this bug?

Edit3: Ok... i think i have figured it out now. You can't get a FA or TG cst/res mission directly, but if you first search for a mission in another faction and then tries in FA/TG again (have to be the same difficulty (hard/easy/etc)) you can find the mission there (seems to be only the missions you found in the other faction). It doesn't seem to work with all factions so i guess it's only the factions that have the same item/mission that this works with.
When you close the citycom you have to repeat this to find another FA/TG tradeskill mission.

Short version: *sigh*

Brightness works fine for me, are you in windowed mode tho ? If you are, then the ingame brightness/gamma dont change anything, you have to change your desktop gamma etc

Research missions for NEXT (others probably too) don't work. You make 3 bps and you have the original item in your backpack but when you click on the guy he says he needs original item back before he can take bps.

Also for hard and very hard missions the research substance you spend for ressing is worth more than the mission rewards. Especialy if research fails a couple of times.

4000nc for res subs, 2000 nc reward. Err..great. And as mentioned the missions don't even work (I am also NEXT, not tried others).

Edit: Which actually makes things much worse than before, cos at least in the old system you could do very easy and very hard missions, and get decent money even it took forever. Grumble. This is why we need a test server :rolleyes:

Edit of the edit: TT missions are also broken in the same way.

With a TS TL 185 resser spy + 94 Int I fail the hard missions from time to time (doing TL 120 items). Overall it's not economical to do the missions as you spend so much on grease.
This is about normal but the money isn't enough to compensate for failures.
Also the TS missions tell you to deliver the bps to a Pimp in Club Veronique, which has been closed off for as long as I can remember.

With a PP TL 170 capped cster PE I failed a (TL 120) hard mission 7 times in a row O_o after which I gave up because I simply couldn't afford it.
Perhaps I was just _very_ unlucky or maybe cster PEs have been smacked with a nerf bat at some point. I've mostly been building noob stuff for friends so I wouldn't have noticed.

Most likely your firewall has detected the changed .exe and is refusing internet access permission. Go into your firewall options and check that client.exe has suitable permissions.

Firewall/Router Configuration
If you are experiencing connectivity issues and are using a router or an advanced firewall, make sure that the following ports are open for Neocron:

TCP/IP: 7000, 8020, 8040, 12000, 13000

UDP: 6000, 6001, 5000 - 5016

My PPU's PA is now yellow/brown (should be blue:ish), both for me and other people. It's the same for other PPU's, they are yellow/brown for me.

Had this bug before, but then it would go away after taking the PA off and putting it on again or zoning, but now it's always like this.

Using all version 3 software (cool stats)

infected storage 1 easy as shooting fish in a barrle with a thermo nuclear warhead :lol: same with the 40/40 outer-network mobs easy as pie

Infected storage 2+ dead in no more 2 shots, with heals an defence softwares running :wtf:

Crahn research missions hard :
- reciever of Blueprints can't see I do have his orginal item (tried with 1 and 4 orginal items)
- Hard res missions appear as various TLs (100, 110, 120 ), the TL in mission description is 10 TLs higher, and finally the mission item is always at TL 100. Money reward does vary.
- Maybe not a bug, but some missions requires runner to go to outzone. 8k gr costs + lots of SI + need to run through 3 enemy zones impaired = worth only aborting.

Will try cst missions now



BTW : turning sky off in DX9 never worked.

Faction Construction Licenses - we had one license with 10 units and to make one item, it used 10 units, instead of 1 unit.

-noticed PA's look normal all the time now (ie, no all black, all black/blue, or all black/red error); that's nice :) Personally I prefer the APU skin, so if this was intentional, I support it.

-big lip bug still present; it doesn't seem to crop up until the client hits my swapfile. Maybe something is getting corrupted in there? Please fix; it might not be important but it's just silly to have such a bug. =)

-Alliance chat is not working at all. Tested with people in same faction (TT), same zone, and different zones. Also tested by people with LE and without LE. Nobody can hear me, and I can't read anything.

-Noticed slightly improved performance when client loads multiple player-characters in a new zone. Still a substantial FPS hit though.

-No FRE's during my hour of trying out the new patch.

-nice work on the new dancer model ;p

Crahn hard cst mission TL 100 works just fine. Gained exp, crap money and symp to crahn, BD and TG.

This is old bug. It has something to do with writing to neocron.ini
My ini look like this :



NOSPLASH = "TRUE"
NOEXTRO = "TRUE"
Ř
PREFDRIVER = "(D3D7) Primary Display Driver"1024x768x32Ř
PREFSOUNDDRIVER = "Generic DirectSound Driver"Generic DirectSound MixerŘ
PREFMODENAME = "1024x768x16"Generic DirectSound MixerŘ
PREFSOUNDMIXER = "Generic DirectSound Mixer
and it works. Took it's time to be settled up.
Dunno if the weird R will make it through, it is 0xD8.


Faction Construction Licenses - we had one license with 10 units and to make one item, it used 10 units, instead of 1 unit.
Always did. At least Rhinos.

BTW Lupus I know that it is supposed to be *hard* mission, but isn't TL150 bit too extreme ?

TL150 is supposed to be *Very Hard*, and the system still needs some slight tweaking. The rewards currently are sub+reward, tho for the higher item's I'll see about upping the sub part of it. As for the skills and being able to do items that high, I'll see what I can do to help ease things abit.

And I thought I had a lot of res @ 250. No way could I get the 300 needed to do a 150 item without wasting tons of res subs :D

Tweaking...yes, just a little lol.

Any eta on a fix for this?

I think he was exagerating.

The clip distance from NC1/NC2closedbeta to NC2 has dropped DRASTICLY. I really hope this is adressed soon, along with the mem leak.

Hmm, well, as no-one else has mentioned this one, I'll do it.

The very easy res and const missions for Crahn Sect, no problem getting them or anything, all I'd like to know, is how the heck is a 8/10 nOOb char meant to be able to run from DoY to OZ9 (in NC) and back again (without dying a multitude of times) through mobs that can give higher lvl runners a run for their money?

Is this a small of, or the re-defintition of a challenge for new players :D

Does that include the one where you don't get anything to research or any cubes?


Personally I think 150 RES is OK if the XP reward is appropriately high (ie a fair bit better than an E part) and if the NC reward assumes at least 3 failures per batch. I haven't been able to actually try them yet though.

Which one don't you get anything to research? The old missions were all replaced with the new ones this patch.

The XP is the standard amount for researching the item it's self plus the 50,75,100,150,200,250,300,400,500,700,800,900,1100,1200,1300 respectivly for completeing the missions So for a TL150 Item, you get TL150 normal XP towards INT + 1300 towards all skills.

The money rewards, fail-rate, research speed all still need to be adjusted for them. So yes besides XP you may lose trying to do the highest ones atm atleast money wise, but it will be dealt with. I am aware that research at the higher levels is slower then construction is.

The XP scale is also the same for construction.

The game randomly selects the two NPC's for the mission. For Crahn there is probably an npc of the type it looks for in Oz9, I'll see about getting this fixed.

but yeah, snipers have always been less use... enemies runspeed combined with poor visability turned SH's into shotguns (one hit leg destruction)

I get the impression cash is easier and it's certainly more flexible and doesn't add the complication of BRT on item values.

The tricky part is deciding what a normal failure rate would be on such a high TL.

do the exact same thing as if you weren't in window mode, press Escape.

The problem with worldmap while playing in window mode is that you need to play in a high resolution to be able to see it, dunno why but it is that way.

Again to leave worldmap window mode or not you need to press Escape.

One thing i've noticed is that WB now agro and hit you from very very far away. Is it suposed to be that way ?
