Thats right, I've been waiting for another FPSMMORPG with a scifi feel to come along... and nothing has.

Now, some of you might remember me as "omg that hybrid", however looking at the chip and skill/spell changes, it looks like they have essentailly removed hybrid from the game, and APUs seems stupidly weak without support. So are all monks PPUs now?

I can't STAND being the healer.

The other thing holding me back is the fact I can't have my name changed. whish is a little annoying.

There's allways the nanites heals/shields. Go APU perhaps and use them.

Regardless, come back anyway.

I wouldn't recommend it. APUs can use the bottom TL advanced SPIT tool (and the top level basic SPIT, but those things are a fucking joke). However, an APU doing so will be so spectacuarly slow that the defence boost doesn't really make up for.

Edit: Apparently, sometimes nanites even provide negative shielding.
Observe:

Damage: 18.362 Target Piercing HitZone 2 - Part 1
Damage: 18.457 (Reduction: -0.095 - -0.518 Percentage) - Damage reduced by shield
Damage: 13.870 (Reduction: 4.492 - 24.463 Percentage) - Damage reduced by player armor
Damage: 10.706 (Reduction: 7.656 - 41.693 Percentage) - Damage reduced by player skills
Results of this target: Damage 10.706 (Reduction: 7.656 - 41.693 Percentage) - ResistanceCap: 0.750!

:confused: Wait, what? :wtf:

Nanite healing is of course, still quite practical, as is making use of the antinegative status/antibuff nanites (CIT) nanites that were supposedly designed for PEs buthav reqs far easier to reach for an APU (or indeed PPU, but why a PPU would want to is another matter).

nah, if my hybrid is defunct AND cant have a name change then i wont return.

My Psi core/DS will probably have defaulted to the PPU versions anyway.

and my rifle spy isnt reason enough to come back, except if there was more people playing.

There is only one version of the dim splitter so no worries there. And the psi-core will default to the apu version (crahn combat core) so again no worries.

You can certainly try making a hybrid, but it won't be overpowered in the slightest (such a shame) :)

Omnituens, get your ass back to the #neocron channel on ETG and that's not a suggestion!

I receive no messages from KK saying that there WAS a free trial. If there was, I would have done.

Hehe. We argued so long for then to send out mails to inactive acctions with the start of 2.2, but they didn't.

whats the point in offering old accounts a free trial, and not tell them?

...typical...

Yeah, I wondered why they never did it. It would probably have boosted the pops a lot more if they had.
