There will always be bugs. At the memoment there's only one noticable bug and that's that implants don't drop when you die. Otherwise everything is fine from my point of view.

Yup, aside from the same ole crap the implant drop bug is the one which affecting the most people. I find it kinda useful, nice to be able to go level without worrying about finding someone to stick a needle in me everytime I screw up.

Every MMO has bug's simply because of the thousands of different scenarios that can arrise when hundreds of people connect.

But yes the implant bug should of been fixed by now :rolleyes:

Hey, i'm still here, so yes :D


It's playable, but you'll see people with mobs for hair, dx9 eating up free mem like there's no tomorrow, vehicles are still bugged, synchbugs and rightclick bugs are still present.
If you can live with that then there's no problem.

KK have introduced the concept of "Theme Weeks" where they concentrate on a particular part of the game in order to fix bugs (priority) and add content. Drones were the first on the list and the critical drone bugs were fixed. Some new drones were added, the HUD was redesigned and now shows distance to player and player's health, and a drone racing arena was added.

I started droning in NC2 last night. I can assure you... drones got a LOT of loving, and i haven't found any bugs so far.
The only thing that took me 15mins of cursing, switching pa, relogging etc.. was the "you cannot use this item due to an unknown reason".

Turns out i was too close to the wall.... Maybe they could have just put :"You are too close to the wall" :-)

Yeah, thats got me a few times too.

I like the new drone HUD, looks all sexy and hightech.

Answering the question, with a question.

Exactly ;)

It all depends on the bug. Some bugs will never go, bless em, but a shedload of others - including Sploits, have been fixied.

1. you still lose SL at random when droning.

2. the "cannot use item for unknown reasons" means you are launching it in a bad place, it is the failsafe to stop launching in a wall etc. move into the open.

and yes... there are still bugs. still more than any other MMO i have played... but it does seem to be slowly improving :rolleyes:

Pretty much all of the NC1 bugs are still here.

We now also have :
- a massive memory leak (may make game unplayable)
- a wide variety of graphical bugs (including even closer clipping plane)
- lots of mismatched textures
- implants don't drop
- Click2Pay
- Hacknet - a whole new world of bugs
- Flying vehicles
- Lots more NPCs covered in boxes and a new selection of incomplete quests
- The new item distribution system
- A few old Beta bugs back that got fixed in NC1

As Nid says, they started a new thematic approach to content and bug fixing. Unfortunately although it started well it seems to have died like so many other things.

The game does crash much less if you ignore the memory leak which varies a lot in it's impact from PC to PC.


Basically if you were happy with NC1 you'll be happy with NC2. It's pretty much the same game for more money. The biggest change is that there's a lot more time-sinks and treadmill stuff. The "Dome" is probably worth renewing an account to see though if you enjoyed NC1.
