As in one which is able to be used by monks/tanks/PEs?

Attempting to get this back on track, Constructors (forget the in game name) get tl90 construction tools. Figured they would, but now it's totally official. :) Logically resers get tl90 res tools, but I'm not gonna test that. :)

ive heard that its 10 or 5 seconds cannot confirm atm though. hopefully they will be smart and put a PE and SPY class use restrictions on them.

Yeah I was hoping they would atleast stop a monk or a tank from useing it, that just seems fucked up. And a 5/10 sec stealth would make me play my PE again!!

that reqless stealth tool that can be used by monks better be a smegging joke.....stealthing apus would be the most overpowered pos this game has ever seen

SovKhan
28-04-05, 20:46
personally i think all the starter mission rewards should be limited to which class can actually use the item.

ie the feild medic gets an item that only classes who can select the feild medic (monk only).

because i can see it now, ppu or apu bout to die at an op fight, hit the stealth tool while holy healed and comes out with full health.

Since Trade - NC is lively with discussion of the new items, figure we'll talk about it here as well.

Confirmed Items

N.E.X.T Quad - one seater, low reqs (lvl 7 int 17 vehicle use if correct). Almost as fast as a Hovertech. Currently bugged as they emit no sound. Also not plausible for actual use, they aren't blueprintable and can be easily blown up (fataled synching into a zone, walked back to where the quad was, not there checked ASG not listed as a vehicle I own...)

Katana - MC Tank low level sword (reqs unknown). Looks cool, some in various channels say it's bugged somehow as well.

v0.5 Stealth Tool - newbie stealth. no reqs at all, used by any class...


Unconfirmed Items:

Hybrid PA; gives to both APU and PPU stats, no resistances of any kind


Add if you know anything, screens more than welcome to help re-confirm things.

Dr Strange
28-04-05, 21:23
Drivers obviously get the N.E.X.T Quad

It is currently very buggy and unrealiable. It has no sounds at all, so anyone using on can easily sneak up on ya faster than a MC tank could run... They aren't BP'able so the fact they blow up easily sucks...

Far be it for me to nay-say a no requirement stealth tool.. but I'm sure these things will have profession limitations on them soon enough :)

28-04-05, 21:46
That would still allow PEs to use it, which means they get stealth back! Yay? :confused:

SovKhan
28-04-05, 21:47
i always thought a PE should be able to have a lower end stealthtool. its just a ppu/apu/tank useing them that is scares me.

I've been wanting Stealth to come back for PEs forever, even though I've never had a combat PE :)

And to be honest, I don't even mind the other classes having a short stealth - I just hope that they tweaked the ONE thing that will balance the usage of the item...

KK, I pray to God that you've increased the Drug Flash effect on stealthing!


Can we also get screenshots on the kitana and the info on that attack ball thing?

I just hope that class reqs. for the noob stealth tool is in the pipeline. I can imagine PPUs/Tanks/APUs stealthing about (*shudders*)...PEs aren't so bad, as they're able to have the Infiltrator sub-class.

Shame I don't have any free char slots on my account, so I can take a look at these noob items for myself...

BradSTL
28-04-05, 23:04

If I may add a little bit of perspective? Because of client/server sync issues, it is usually impossible to switch from any other weapon to a stealth tool and fire it in less than 4 seconds. So if someone with a Stealth 1 or this tool is pumping it as hard as they can, they're still only invisible 2/3 of the time, and they're not doing any damage to anyone else or using any heals other than medical kits.

It changes the game, yes, but it doesn't break it. The main effect will be that unless you're using area-effect weapons, you can now only count on killing someone by surprise if you can take them down in under 4 seconds (plus however long it takes them to react to your attack); any longer than that and they have a chance to escape. Oh, poor baby.

And I hate to break it to you, but Stealth tools don't cause drugflash any more. I haven't tried Stealthblocker drugs, I assume they do but I haven't tried it. But given 10s duration, nobody with this beginner Stealth tool needs Stealthblocker anyway. So sorry to tell you this, but no, there almost certainly will not be any drugflash from using this tool.

stealth for PE's ^^ ?

I remember being in favour of PE's losing it but... Since PE's suck at OP wars and having no real use in them humm I'm going to say it was a bad idea. PE's should have been left with stealth LVL 1 people had a problem with PE's being stealth whores, but look at the spy now and they do sick damage. My PE will be a right bitch if I can only get into that city they call neocron ^^ and this might just be my chance :P. Also if that hybrid PA is true thats great my monk is hybrid since I have never been sure what I wanted to do with her. Perhaps they could make hybrid spells and put the normal PSI spells out of reach of the hybrids, then balance them from there making them a totaly different class of monk.

What the hell now, where did I put that CC I can't wait to try this stuff out seems alot was added kind of what I was waiting for.

Animated
28-04-05, 23:17
Just to point out that the stealth tool currently has no requirement at all, meaning all classes can use it. IF it is changed to profession only then it will be PE/Spy only.

Thats one of three items from the quest to get the spell. There's a green needle, a red needle and a blue needle. They're only used in a small dialogue and don't actually do anything.

What is heal rate like on it? 7-8 a tick? Would be sweet with a heal spell just a tad better than tl3 but far from as powerfull as blessed

On my noobie hybrid with 56 ppu I get 342% with a cast rate of 40-45/min (can't remember exactly) and it heals 5 damager per tick. I'm guessing maxed out it could be double that perhaps? Who knows, I'm no expert at all.

The problem with stealth has nothing to do with it's side effects or duration.

It doesn't matter if it causes flash or lasts 3 mins, it's the INITIAL effects it has that is the cause of it's unbalancing.
It's too easy to just quit, bug out, flick the LE switch, when things aren't going your way.
It should be an espionage tool, not an escape tool.

I don't care who can use it, just that it's immidiate effects are altered.
Prefferably (in my opinion) by a delay from firing to the stealth effect taking hold.

Just tested a capped tl10 heal and it heals 9-10 hp a tick. VERY nice addition to this game I must say, don't think it'll be worth it for anyone but PEs and apu hybrids since it takes alot to cap due to the low quality (73% or so on stats), I'm not sure if it can be blueprinted, but since noone was spamming trade i guess not. Should probably turn out to be some very long duels PE vs PE :lol:

cleared a cave yesterday .. 1 heavy ultima ... compared to the previous 5 days where i also whent caving i dont see that much changed in the droploot, seems a mob got nerfed and another got boosted tough :) one or another thing brought my fully capped/buffed ppu down to 10 hp in 2 shots lol



that wasnt so the day before lol, still its fun in there and im very happy when the drop stays about 1 maybe 2 ultima's a cave :)

havent done enough caves yet to check tough .. we had 8 illegal slotenhacers, 4 techs and 1 heavyultima out of one cave ... yesterday 1 day before the patch we had 11 slotenhacers, 6 parts and a laserblade ultima :) day before that no ultima 10 slotenhacers and 8 parts orso :) etc etc

not like they drop like mad now but if it stays like this it looks good :)

ot: my ppu died for the first time since NC2 :) in PP :D and then later on also in them caves, lol it wasnt my day yesterday

I couldn't finish the rigger mission; the DoY machine room is bugged and so mission 2 can't be completed.

The soldier gets two rewards. One is the stripper, mentioned above; the other is a TL10 flamer, which is a very nice reward that fills in a major gap in the weapon lineup. Mine came out roughly 82% quality, 3 slot. I transferred both rewards to another character, and now the hooker won't place as furniture in my apartment. Is it locked so that it only works for the character that the reward was originally given to, or am I just bugged?
