Please keep the chit chat out. Report the bug in detail that is strictly new since the implementation of 154. If someone has already posted the bug you can quote that section and leave the word "confirmed".

edit 1: We are aware stealth is not working at this time.

edit 2: A hotfix is scheduled for Friday to fix Stealth and some other issues.

Stealth seems to be not working, you get the blue blur but stay visible and can equip weapons.

Edit: ahh missed that last bit.

No stealth stack and can still draw weapons.

I assumed from the patch notes that 'NPCs' would get dmg boosts, however it seems all mobs have, I just got nailed by a percy in seconds.

Reloading weapons doesnt work at all. Attempting to use the reload button or using the entire clip doesnt reload the weapon, the animation plays but ammo isnt restored. However clicking and dragging to reload works.


Syncronising times have doubled their usual length (aprox 10 seconds now) and during the main movement from one zone to another everything stops for about 3 seconds, even sound stops playing which it previously didnt for me.

Confirmed.

It seems to work ok for a while, but after a few reloads it stops working and dragging clips to the weapon is the only way to reload.

No problems reloading for me.

Ok, my weapon reload problems have ceased i can now reload all of my guns with dragging, pressing reload or using the whole clip.

With the reload issue, do you guys have more then just one type of ammo for that weapon in your inventory?

I didn't. My CS was the only weapon effected which is now working, i gogu'd my CS to test another weapon and on returning my CS to my quickbelt it works again.

CS is raidioactive, i only had radioactive ammo in my inventory. - If it helps.

Grim Chaser Loot changed, but not fixed:

Rank 56/65 Char:

ReaperSpider, Terrormauler, Raptor, Grim Persecutor/Chaser drop only one Part from Armorpart 4,5,6,7 or 2-field RecycleLoot.

I have the same problems with weapons.

I could add :

- Exploit rez (silent rez) is still doable
- HackNet mobs are not damagable (the ones in travels for sure)
- Turrets in outpost can't be damaged
- SoulCluster got nerfed WAY too much (8 damage on a tank every 4 hits)
- Mobs got boosted WAY too much (I wonder what 5 127/127 ceres mobs or MC5 commander now do to tanks/ppu)
- When you prime in UG, primes sometimes vanish when you zone up (and can either reprime again or can't, it depends)

When is the next patch ? It's nearly unplayable atm

I can't agree. It IS unplayable.

Btw the tl 10 heal is boosted way too much. You can outheal 2 Copbots as PE with a tl 10 heal.....

Another Reload Comment: Reloading worked on my tank, so i went to my spy which now cannot reload weapons without dragging the ammo.

However, zoning seems to fix my reloading problems.

- Warbot loots are broken as well.
- Entered a DOY tunnel and got killed in 1 shot, used to last at least 3.
- Stealth bug confirmed.
- Reload schenanigans confirmed.
- Synchronizing taking loads of time.
- Mob damage registration still failing 6/10 times.

Argent
09-03-06, 19:32
Look at the pictures below

That happens when your graphics card isn't working properly. Ie. when it's overclocked and running at too high clocks or it runs at too high temperature.

Do a full reboot and make sure the fan is running ok on the card. While you're at it, make sure the heat sink on the card isn't coated with 1cm layer of dust.

@Dirus: No i've only been using one ammo type for my Libb (Phosphor) and funnily enough after a while reload starting working again like Tratos, i have'nt checked my other Pistols yet, but my rifle spy is uneffected by the reload issue as is my HC tank.

Quakes

The reload issue seems to be zone-dependant. In J01 I can't reload normally, but in J02 I can reload. In the TH core dungeons I could also reload.

When usin drugs and buffing ur prims :

Which mob was it? There is a mob in doy tunnels some people refer to as "the humper" that killed people in 1 shot before this patch. If this is the mob and you're takin more than 1 hit you should consider yourself lucky :)

None of my guns reload on any of my characters.

As Crazy- said, we can outheal two copbots/Screaming Horse with a TL10 heal.

Mobs are rather strong now :eek:


Nid, with this new kill message, how does it work? Does it tell you who got the killing blow, who did the most damage or everyone that did damage to you?
Oh and before someone asks, no I'm not testing it :p

Aggressor, Aggressor Captain, Enlightened Acolyte, Enlightend Preacher (might be more low level mobs, but this is all I tested)

Their loot as of 12 hours ago was lots of junk, maybe a bone here or there, maybe some juice. The above mobs now drop either 1 x Bloody Skin or 1 x Tuft of Hair.

Also, I can stand in the middle of several aggressors and take little to no damage on a 10/10 tank with no resists, no armor, and no buffs. Pre-patch (i.e. last night) I got pwned by 2 Aggies. EXACT same char can now run through the entire aggie cellar and lose barely any HP. The lowest I got was what you see in the screenshots.

It's almost as if my 10/10 Tank character is really capped... because he's getting the loot that a high-level player would get and taking little to no damage.

I swear, the back-end for the loot system will be forever fucked in Neocron. Fix the Grim Persy, break the Grim Chaser. Fix the Grim Chaser, break the Aggressors :lol:

Confirmed: Mobs are bugged (crappy drops & they a lot more damage). i.e. Warbot damage to player has doubled and the junk you get wont recycle as much ammo as you use killing them.

Confirmed: Ammo reloading is bugged, doesn't happen in some zones - you have to drag-n-drop. (Tested with only 1 type of ammo in inventory)

Shelter is bugged (my spy has to cast his deflector first or it removes the shelter and then I have to cast shelter 3x to get it to stick).

My pistol spy can almost outheal a single copbot (needs medkits for 2 of them). Heal per tick has almost doubled for all heals!?

Zoning takes forever. (This seems to be an improvement though, did a few tests and it looks like you may no longer appear to others while you are still in sync on your screen).

Fatals are more frequent (again)! A 1.9MB patch shouldn't necessitate a defrag should it?

Heard of hack tools disappearing (unconfirmed).

Missions seemingly of any level (research normal to very hard tested) give +5 faction sympathy.

Dirus

Btw the tl 10 heal is boosted way too much. You can outheal 2 Copbots as PE with a tl 10 heal.....

I'll nerf it further then, since all heal spells were nerfed, but the bug relating to healing done varying depending on the amount of hitboxes damaged was fixed, Heals should now do a more "constant" rate. 25% reduction just isnt enough in the TL10's case.

tl10 heal does 12 per tick now with a black headbox.

I'll be in SWG, since you don't seem to test anything before you patch.

Seraphin[69]
10-03-06, 00:02
Not talking about the lag we have between players (with decent ping and bandwidth in ALT+F).

They nerfed a lot of things actually : heal, reload, even psi spells (primes & sd sometimes don't stick or just disappear). Now with the mob boost you can't go MC5, DoY Tunnels or ceres lab. A grim chaser that actually did around 80 damage to my tank now do 170 (which is insane) in 1 shot.

And I wonder why, if the rumors are trues, you need 120 HACK to use the ion shotgun. Wanna prevent the PEs to use it ?

10-03-06, 00:08
So this is how ballancing will be done, put finger in air, let it land on the keypad, type a number and then patch to see effects?

Dirus i thought you would actualy test things first.

No.. test results ended up being skewed by a minor difference between the TS and Retail. It was something I've known about for a while, but I guess due to working out other values relating to changes that have yet to be made I overlooked the issue and as a result the current Heal spell situation is entirely my fault. I apologise for this.

We all make mistakes thats why pencils have rubbers on the end to change things. Perhaps you might concider doing something about the CM sl issue? Seriously it's not funning being attacked in MB entrance and thinking, is it worth the -36 sl i'll get for killing this guy? (obviously he can kill reds to get his sl back to 100 quite quickly specially if he sits in somewhere like point red or ind A killing a 0/2.

one more bug incase someone forgot.

I tested my tl3 heal just before the patch, healed myself 100 points (tested several times, with lots & little health).

Now I heal myself 70 points. (capped tank, with 454% on dmg & 34 on shot freq /min for this spell.) So, I’m guessing tl3 heals did actually got nerfed the way they where intended to.

Someone else also said he had noticed the same for this spell. Someone test & confirm this out also pls...

- while high level mobs do more damage (wb), aggressors and such ones do almost no damage at all

- zoning or using genrep sometime result in loosing some resist/shield (it seems to me you loose the first spell on stack)

- i experienced problems casting basic resist booster (3), it was just ended and i had to try and cast it 3 or 4 times before it apply

Heal, Poison, Fire, etc still gets nullified on zone, regardless of visual effects.

On a Combat Rank 15 character - I killed all the mobs repeatedly in the Mainsewer Sectors (All diseased rats, All types of mutants), all the mobs in the Simmons/Point Red Zones (All types of spiders, small, fierce, big, giant, queens - Wolf cubs, Alpha Wolves), and all the Swamp Mobs in Gravis Sector (Jellys, Mages, Warriors, etc)....

At CR15, they *all* drop a single piece of the lowest level junk. An eye. Small Entrails. A Bone. They're dropping loot as if I were using a Paw of Bear instead of a TL33 claw.

So much for hunting trophies until this is fixed *sigh*

I'm not sure if this is an old bug or a new bug - but while I was busy putting in an implant, I dropped another one in the processor window. Although, when the first implant finished, the other one I dropped in disappeared. It wasn't in the processor, in my head, or in the inventory. However it reappeared after relogging.

Better than research or rat for symp

I try recycle very easy mission with a 17 int tank

Mission : take 5 meritium
Price of 5 meritium at the chimical faction seller = 100
Reward of the mission = 500 +6 symp

Realy interristing, Starting caract can realy start with 100 Symp in few move and have a bit cash too

The Epic mission give you +8 Symp
So 10 recycle mission to change faction, Making the epic -> 100 symp for the faction
It's realy strange behavior for me

Confirming loot bug and Faction sympathy bugs. I got +5 symp for all factions I tried with normal and hard missions, and all loot from aggies to WB titans with my 41/36 and 36/36 characters are giving one item poop drops. I'm hardly being touched by them, though I only notice that when I have lvl 1 deflector cast on meself, otherwise it seems to be normal. With deflector on, I'm not taking more than 5 or 6 damage from a launcher cyclops with my dinky spy lady.

EDIT: I'm getting that reload bug, too, but only on my plasma pistol. My other weapons (fusion, gatlin, etc) are fine

A few more details about the ammo reload bug:

The ammo reload bug is intermittent and not entirely zone dependent.

I ran a lot of sewer missions. While in the sewer (P1, near LoM vendor) sometimes I could reload as per normal, other times not. Sometimes weapon gives animation but doesnt reload when key used but will then reload when weapon is emptied. Other times weapon wont reload at all. Re-zoning fixes this on some occaisions, but not always.

New Bug:

- very easy Missions: +8 Symp (normally u get +1 or +2?)

- Castings: S/D & Buffs.. U cannot cast sd/buffs yourself, u have to wait some seconds (i think 10 - 20 secs.)

Can confirm this also. Tested it at MB. In the Stairhouse i can reload my Raygun normal, when i sync to J01 it doesnt work anymore. Back to the Stairhouse it works again, J01 it doesnt and so on. Every 2 Syncs i cant
reload anymore.

At the time I posted most of my comments there was no german speaking staff member I could contact to make sure the info was being given fairly. I unfortunately can't read, write or speak german :/



Dirus, your post about difference between test and retail makes me suspect you're changing duration of primes and SD soon.....

Not that I'm aware of.

Blixxa
10-03-06, 12:34
I ll try to explain it in english,
The Primes and SD seem not to work properly if you passed a sync before.
It seems that the time spent in Sync, messes with the time of the actual buff and the corresponding symbol.
If you dont sync, you can recast your buffs and SD normally.
But if You sync once (or more) the Time spent in sync seems to be added to the time til you are allowed to recast your Stuff.

This has been tested several times by different people on Mars.

Hope that helps.

Getting the Kaboxorid from Almachim at El Farid

In English the 1th answerd of Almachim is
"We need Kaboxorid! No BP or other rubbish" (and close dialog so no BP)
whitch is the Manson dialog when you dont CST the BP of the Kaboxorid

In French
You have the right dialog, (but in english :) ) but when he said is pleasure to help you have a continue, you click and black speach screen ! so you ESC and dont have the BP

In German you have the right 1th sentence (in german)
You answerd and

Confirmed.

It seems to work ok for a while, but after a few reloads it stops working and dragging clips to the weapon is the only way to reload.

Confirmed - BUT!!

To fix it all u gotta do is drop the wep and pick it up again, then the reloaing works fine. ;-)

- Warbot loots are broken as well.
- Entered a DOY tunnel and got killed in 1 shot, used to last at least 3.
- Stealth bug confirmed.
- Reload schenanigans confirmed.
- Synchronizing taking loads of time.
- Mob damage registration still failing 6/10 times.

About the sync, i confirm that one, but might it be the result of the "checking" increased? i recall the patch notes said something about the checking while zoning had been increased, to me it sounds like they've tried to prevent zonecrashing, like if they made the checking multicycle the rutine to make sure no errs gets thru..?

Mob dmg fails alot to me also, so thats confirmed.

Aggressor, Aggressor Captain, Enlightened Acolyte, Enlightend Preacher (might be more low level mobs, but this is all I tested)

Their loot as of 12 hours ago was lots of junk, maybe a bone here or there, maybe some juice. The above mobs now drop either 1 x Bloody Skin or 1 x Tuft of Hair.

Also, I can stand in the middle of several aggressors and take little to no damage on a 10/10 tank with no resists, no armor, and no buffs. Pre-patch (i.e. last night) I got pwned by 2 Aggies. EXACT same char can now run through the entire aggie cellar and lose barely any HP. The lowest I got was what you see in the screenshots.

It's almost as if my 10/10 Tank character is really capped... because he's getting the loot that a high-level player would get and taking little to no damage.

I swear, the back-end for the loot system will be forever fucked in Neocron. Fix the Grim Persy, break the Grim Chaser. Fix the Grim Chaser, break the Aggressors :lol:


It sounds like the drop system is working by some mathematical multiplikacation function? Like it calculates the drop based on the mob lvl, the lvl of the killer, type of mob etc etc etc...

If its so, good thing is, that it makes it easy to perform adjustments in the code, but the bad thing is, that its like tuning a guitar with just one adjustmentscrew that affects all the strings. :-D

I ll try to explain it in english,
The Primes and SD seem not to work properly if you passed a sync before.
It seems that the time spent in Sync, messes with the time of the actual buff and the corresponding symbol.
If you dont sync, you can recast your buffs and SD normally.
But if You sync once (or more) the Time spent in sync seems to be added to the time til you are allowed to recast your Stuff.

This has been tested several times by different people on Mars.

Hope that helps.

I think this post has to be highly noticed ;)

Not all the bugs affect everyone.

I have:
No item problems
No reload issues
No cast problems

I have synced into and out of many zones and not had any different issues in different zones.

well, you´re a lucky one.

I cant make PvP anymore since the Weapon doesnt want to reload,my stealthtool is broken and i have to fear a single WB if he notice me.

Thats not cool,guys ^^

Got probs with casting a Def or Shelter , too.

I wont login anymore before the Hotfix (which had to come today at high noon ^^) is there. I wont waste my time with bugging/syncing around and get frustrated.

If i was head of the coders at KK, i'd force them to work overtime into the weekend. They screwed up, they gotta fix it.

I wouldn't besurprised though that they let us go into the weekend with this bugged patch still in.
