Has anyone seen the gamesmaster skins?

I'd also like to jump in early here and request you drop the prices of Flying vehicles next patch. Its an easy change, and will give you breathing room while you try and fix them.

Or perhaps create an NPC that gives out free keys like they did for drones?

The last patch which fixes memory problems seems to have improved the memory leakage, lets see how this one helps :)

An aquaintance showed me his Moveon, which had an item tracking ID number, but none of his rares and none of mine (including my moveon) had one.

Are they supposed to show? Or they not fully integrated yet?

about 3 of mine show up out of the roughly 15-20 rare / epic items on average joe

29-06-05, 17:10
my other PE has 5 epic items (1 with an ID), and about 10 rares (none with an ID). oh and neither PE's SA has a number.

i gotta ask... is the visable number a bug or is the lack of number a bug? :p

Mighty Max
29-06-05, 17:13
Could it be that the ID is created on a specific action on already existing items? I.e. an (trackable) Item that was created after #134 hit have the ID, and the Item that is from a time before gets that ID on the first transfer?

Jesterthegreat
29-06-05, 17:17
i have pa's that i have left in my gogu since i lommed to pistol (months and months ago) that arent tracked. both my SA's transfered from NC1. my 3 libs were made early NC2.

nah pre #134 being ID'd and post #134 not being ID'd isnt it

29-06-05, 17:47

I'll have to check in but I believe the showing of the ID tags is not meant yet as Item Tracking is not ready to go.

Ok so maybe it was made up to suddenly and i didnt think about being neutral :P
Maybe clan wasrs could finally be implmented for something more than a useless page on the city com :)

if someone shoots you, your obviously not their ally now are you

NC = CS now. simply because half the people playing I think are just doing what I do, logging in to shoot whoever they see.

whats the point?

when we made VENOM as CM i set us to war every big clan that was active.

i think 2 actually accepted it.

people would rather hide beind F6 than live in a mean, dirty, cyber punk world

When I play CS, if someone kills a teammate he's going to be kicked very quickly.
What a pity we can't do the same thing in Nc :p

Well... you're, let's say a BT runner (just an example) who spend his time killing allies. The CA arrests you, a Protopharma doctor says you cannont be cured and you're executed for treason and murder. Will you delete your char or hide behind the rules ?
A game needs rules. F6 is just one of them for Neocron.
Now, if you want a dirty, pityless world when the rules let you can kill anyone, try Eve online...but life for pirates in this game is a lot harder than in Nc ;)

all your doing is making stuff up that isnt actually in the game... making your arguement completely null and void.

as for eve... beta'd it. spent about a month mining to get money before i thought "fuck this... i play a game to have fun, not click rocks all day"

oh and btw f6 isnt a rule.

:edit: what is a rule is 100pix, 6 lines of text, or a combo of the 2 as a sig. you break that rule. :p

all your doing is making stuff up that isnt actually in the game... making your arguement completely null and void.Then why are you talking about a "mean, dirty, cyber punk world"? This is not in the game either. Don't mix up RP with game mechanics. Njall is absolutely right in the RP context. Looking at it from the perspective you did renders his argument void, true, but your "mean, dirty, cyber punk world" becomes utter nonsense, too.

Anyway, I do hope these casting problems don't have anything to do with the patch, although I don't have much faith in this hope :(

In nc if I get that low I will lose everything without the carebear insurance eve online has for ships, eve is a carebear game now for both scum and good doers. I think NC is alot harder but eve is different carebears don't have there safeslot so when I enter a system with 15 people in it and its 0.3. It emptys pretty fast and lots of smack in local with no backing....

It's like the circle of life hehe the predator will always strike down his prey in every system, I always get the slow dumb cunt that is prolly macro mining or something.

The balance of how far Rp intrudes into gameplay is tricky one.

In the case of PvP and possibly PvM mechanics it should have as little influenceas possible.

In the life of the runner and the consequences of that PvP/M action outside of it, RP should have an extensive, though most importantly unprohibitive effect.

The faction system is too integral and important to runner life. Working for one is a necessity, not a choice. This has lead to people thinking that what the factions stand for and how they would percieve any action as irrelevant, that being a member of a faction holds you no responsibility to act in it'sd interest and that they have no place punishing you for acting against them. The whole 'omfg i do wtf i want' mentality.

All of which is compounded by the symp/SL system that provides virtually nothing in the way of causality for your actions.

A viable factionless system and relevant symp infrastructure is what we need if this is ever going to feel like the game it is supposed to be.

Well... what would you say if someone creates a spy tradeskiller and says "fuck this, I don't play a game to construct things all day" ? ;) If you want to PvP in Eve, you can do it with one of the first ship available :)

I think it's easier to increase quickly your SL in NC than the SS in Eve. And copbots don't react as fast as the concord sentries. (example : Protolab = empire zone 0.9 or 1 : it's very easy to kill someone in the lab while it's suicide in an empire zone).

Since it was only mentioned as an after the fact kinda thing, what was kk's aim with the *toning down* of runcasting? Why was it felt not worthy of a mention in the patch notes?

Yes, i understand that they wanna nerf the monks, but ive got a sneaking suspicion theres some other classes that rely on being able to run cast.
