We would like to give you a small info update about what is currently in the development pipeline:

- A patch with bug- and exploit-fixes is currently being tested by the QA and should be ready in the near future.

- Additionally, a content package that is being worked on will be implemented through several patches over the next weeks. Of course our event department will continue its efforts to provide you with more regular, exciting and story based dynamic game content.

- The evaluation process for the planned re-balaning project is progressing nicely and we are confident that we can set the discussions in motion over the next few weeks. As soon as the evaluation has been completed, the Test Server forum will be opened to discuss all necessary points.

Ok, did anyone spot something missing in that update?

From http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=131948 Dated 26 Jan 2006


In the Evol 2.2 planfile we mentioned a major change in the sector of payment services. This change is still in the works and will not be affected by the delay of Evol 2.2.
Any more news on this?

Good to hear some news, also content packages with bug/exploit fixes are most welcome.

Look forward to see more details about all of these points and hope the re-balance evaluation is complete soon.

Yes for the love of god , tell us if/when something is happening in this department. IM 100% sure pop's will rise if you introduce a good alternative payment method.

If u expected me to flame you for this, tough luck, i'm too tired atm (hard day at work).

but oh well, i try at least:

KK you see those morons? Tell them they are wrong or tell us that they are right and we are morons for hoping that something good may happen in NC...

Regardless what u decide, tell us, its better to do it now than after the fact itself.

Excellent news, at least we know what to expect in the next few weeks, but please keep us more informed as to what is happening and when, maybe have a weekly info release even if nothing is going on at that point?

Just a thought, but looking foward to the balance issues.

good to hear guys, but really to get more customers you really need a better payment system.
Thats not to say that such things as what you are doing are not needed. As this patch sounds awsome and will insure my continued subscription =) after the month i just paid for =).

In the coming weeks there will be patches.

It's gonna take more than that to impress me.

What bug fixes specifically? What kinda content are we looking at?

Come one guys - give us more than "we got something for you"

If they spend all their time telling us about updates then when do you want them to spend time actually updating :)

Can we get a list of the bug and exploit fixes? Would be interesting to see whats been fixed (and therefore mentionable on the forums without getting edited), and what will land you a ban.

Tratos
03-03-06, 01:05
Yeah some sort of early form of the patch notes would be nice to have a look through while we wait but ofcourse without anything that could point us to gaining an advantage before the patch.

If they spend all their time telling us about updates then when do you want them to spend time actually updating :)It takes about 2minutes or less depending on the size, to write a nice little post on the forum for people to read? Surely it's not much to ask for all of the customers that want to know they aren't paying a company to sit on their backside (most of the people viewing the forum), and to let customers know what to expect from upcoming patches. Patches were supposed to be ongoing, except it's already the third month into 2006 and only a rollback to be seen as yet.

Just hoping for some actual decent activity regards the storyline other than the pro-city alliance being gathered together to kill a few regants mobs spawned into a sector, only to find that after the few mobs that were in there are dead, it's over. It was rather amusing that I had to show the person hosting the event how to get to the Industrial Genrep that was chosen as the desired meeting place for the alliance, he or she started going in the wrong direction through all the doors in the Industrial sector closest to Pepper Park 3 (forgot the exact name of it).

There could have been a lot of fun made out of that even if it doesn't fit with the intended/planned storyline that Reakktor have for the game. Like making it into a battle between the alliances... DoY could have stealthily led the mutants and such to the cities food supply, as a devastating attack towards the city's runners, not affecting the soldier rations the security forces have. The mutants could have been the decoy, while DoY raided the Pepper Park sectors and temporarily put a halt to the Entertainment Industry which kept up the moral of the City. ;)

Edit: Just remembered about the whole NPC dialog things in the Neocron 1 Demo - Do some voice overs and whatnot and make it actually a bit more interesting than the repetitive moving a bit of paper or whatever it is about when you click on the different options. Of course not forgetting to get someone who's possibly grew up using the English language to check over the scripts... maybe even display small hints in the form of maps and various pictures of the world map or items on screen so that it makes everything less dull.

Still no "official" sign of the balancing part of the forum that was supposed to be discussing various things?

This isn't a flame Nidhogg, so sorry if you think it is one, just making an observation and asking a question. :o

Brammers. Probably be a while yet. Usual business mumbo jumbo (ie: contracts) to be worked through.

God don't I know it. If you find it rough to use it. Try being the one who has to do support for it 8|

Until all contracts are signed we can't say anything, but I'm happy with the direction.
