10TACLE confirms its participation in the Games Convention 2006

Darmstadt, Germany, 19. January 2006: 10TACLE STUDIOS AG will participate in this year’s Games Convention in Leipzig. On an area of more than 250m², 10TACLE will present its portfolio to game enthusiasts. The publisher plans to present all forthcoming releases to trade visitors in the Business Center on one hundred square metres.

During the trade show, 10TACLE will focus on titles such as "GTR 2 - FIA GT Racing Game" and "Elveon" as well as on further productions to be specified later on which will be presented with the help of elaborately designed theme worlds. "After 10TACLE’s successful participation in last year’s Games Convention, it has become 10TACLE’s duty to also participate in the GC in 2006. The positive feedback from gamers, business partners and investors as well as our expanded portfolio have strengthened our determination to expand our participation in this year’s GC and to even make greater use of the trade show as an international, strategic platform for presentations", Frank Holz, Director Marketing & Sales, comments on the participation of 10TACLE STUDIOS in the trade show.
Seems 10T are just ignoring Neocron at this GC :( which i think is a shame as we need another population boost as numbers are beginning to get down to the low/mid 20%s again at peak times - hopefully the new balancing when it arrives will solve this again at get us back into the 30% and higher.

P.S. Nid could you find out if there are plans to take Neocron to the GC?

[Riddle]

Kind of flys in the Face of the "No More Elves" campaign don't it?

Why ignore NC? they embaressed about it :lol:

[l8m0n]

lol it makes you wonder why you never see NC in any mags, TV/net adverts.
There fools if they dont "brag" about NC2 at the GC

[Tratos]

Why ignore NC? they embaressed about it :lol:
If they put more into it i doubt they'd have to be since if Neocron had a much larger development team we could see major improvements since things have been getting better but it takes a long time due to KKs limited man power.

Which is a shame tbh

@l8m0n i've seen a fair few NC2.1 adds on the net tbh :p

[Richard Slade]

I stand firm on my position that this game has The best concept ever..
Kinda shitty that 10T just shuffles it aside..

I mean c'mon
remove the zonelimits,
make Tokyo
expand the map by twice the size
add some 'raid' stuff apart from MC5 and WoC stuff
make characters show armor (important today actually)
and get the synch issues straight (Hey WoW could, so can you)
fix HN
and finally add more PvP aspects (OP wars is one but how about stuff like having a ship built in one of the cities, the other city (cities) can steal certain parts to start building theirs and slowing down the enemy. When the ship is finally built after, what, a week? The ship is launched and those who got it away recieve supplies when it comes back after a week, in the form of getting a +5 boost to all stats ( or more )
With that a new ship is built for a week, and when it comes back the winners get the same boost, hence giving a constant fight)

Just ideas.... Just ideas...

And some begging: Please make this game great again, fix zones and synch and get it on the road, it's worth it!

we could see major improvements since things have been getting better but it takes a long time due to KKs limited man power.Limited common sense by the looks of things too...

Even though paying for 3months isn't that much, I probably won't be doing 3month+ subscriptions again, Neocron has got pretty boring after the Evolution patch as most of the people who returned for the free time simply left and went back to their other games because they see all the problems/bugs that fuck up the gameplay are still there, not to mention lack of content, and crap management.

The only people I really find to PvP with are random large groups of people (usually an FF with 4 or 5 friends) in Pepper Park, on my Spy going against several PE's, Spies or Tanks is good fun, but as soon as my Spy meets a Monk I'm there going "righty then o_O goodbye, I don't like suicide". Cycrow is never without a paraspamming FF PPU so it gets rather boring. I'll prolly still play Neocron until something better comes out, and that shouldn't be too long to go now.

Edit: Forgot to mention raiding DoY quite often these days, that's pretty fun, until a monk zerg team comes along because they get killed on their Spy/PE/Tank. :)

If KK got their finger out and fixed even the simplest of things (like graphics glitches, like the male PE fat lip, making sure the epic missions frigging work, I would think the DRE epic is still broke and still needs the epic fix NPC (epic fix NPC's shouldn't be there for THAT long), I think even that would make a pretty big difference. People are always reminded in and out of game that almost no effort is being made compared to what can be achieved.

Neocron needs more people, and to do that, issues have to be resolved, and when they aren't, they keep leaving, or don't even want to think about returning at all. When the balancing finally comes around, and the next "big" update, I think you could give the free time to cancelled accounts all over again, to try and get the customers back.

What's all this Tokyo nonesense? :/

[Tratos]

What's all this Tokyo nonesense? :/
The third known megacity on the planet.

[unreal]

The third known megacity on the planet.Is this actually relating to Neocron or not? I remember seeing names like "New Tokyo" and "New Japan" and all sorts of crap in some MMORPG that was a clone of Neocron, except compared to Neocron it had incredibly crap graphics, an incredibly useless interface, and new people had no option but to be killed by the high level people that randomly run along and tell you to "Fuck off". Although the apartments in that MMORPG looked nice. heh

[Richard Slade]

Tokyo II is very much a neocron thing,
but it's behind the dustcloud,...

[Tratos]

2630
After twelve years of dedicated work a flying vehicle which is able to break through Earth's atmosphere and travel outside its orbit is at the city's disposal – for the first time in 480 years. A select crew is sent to the newly discovered metropolis. They are amazed when they learn that the city boasts a high level of development both technologically and culturally. Just like that of Neocron, the protective dome of Tokyo II is based on a sophisticated magnetic shield. But the two shields also prevent radio communication between the cities. The Asians react rather coolly to the foreigners and are not interested in any further contact with the western world. Thus, the crew is unable to learn how the inhabitants obtained the old world knowledge. After just a few days’ sojourn in Tokyo II, the crew are awakened by soldiers one morning and escorted to their spacecraft. Without having accomplished much, the envoys return to Neocron. After they have reported to the Psi Monks, the latter decide to ignore Tokyo II and to concentrate on the space travel program instead.
;)

Anyway - yes Neocron does have its many problems but hopefully with the rewrite of some of Neocrons coding for the new balancing work some of the older bugs will disapear and the better levels of balance should bring back some old faces.

[unreal]

lol, What a nice way they decided to phrase that... "The Asians"...

[nellus]

So is tokyo II across the ocean somewhere?

Are there plans to extend it into future gameplay?

Could this be a place to go for high level quests for those people who are doing there respective WoC quest 3+
(just a thought that one :lol: )

[unreal]

If it was across the ocean, damn. Imagine a sector that consisted of a huge bridge with the odd small island with a load of trees for snipers to hide in, with the odd sniper outpost along the way. Then add some nasty water mobs to shoot at, like Mutated Piranas and unknown beastly creatures, with some other nasty flying mobs. Would be a really FUN place to PvP at too, as long as balancing occurs (hopefully something is done about Para, double the psi pool and weaken the parashock at least). I would reccomend the bridge be curving round those specific islands and whatnot, rather than just having a long straight bridge that can be sniped from every point by a stealth whore. I wouldn't have thought the most intelligent architects that build those bridges would have said "oh yeah, make it dead straight, so it can be easily infiltraited".

can only be accessed via a vhc capable of inerstella flight

as far as my memory of the story goes

[-FN-]

FYI - I believe Elveon is being developed for the Xbox 360 (http://games.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1292/Elveon/) - so it's not even a competitor for Neocron... Why do people keep bringing up the "No More Elves" vs "Elveon" debate? :wtf:

[darkservent]

This whole business of tokyo 2 is never gonna happen. Every few days I open the launcher to see if a new patch has arrived....I see nothing at all except 2 articles relating to the story. I personally get tierd of not seeing consistant updates to the game be it even the smallest fixes.

Im a strong believer that a new engine and a revamp of the NC concept would bring this game to light but its something I can dream about as it will NEVER NEVER HAPPEN In my lifetime.

As for the GC 2006, well game conventions are meant for showing off new shit. Theyve done NC last year....showing it again will kinda make 10T look stupid.

What the?

My good lord Crahn, smite yon peasant, please.

If I can comphrend that butchery, why... why would New Tokyo, situated on planet Earth, require an interstellar-capable vehicle for traveling to, from, say, Neocron City, also located on planet Earth?

[naimex]

we still need both:

-Tokyo II
-The investigation of / The colonization of Irata III (could be a warpgate you go through and then make it a monster infested area, like regants has become, but with eviler crueler, badder, well. you get the idea, monsters.)
