Been lurking a bit, looking at things and counting my pennies.
Heard that the next patch might fuck the Dome of York city something fierce. Interesting. But I got to say my piece.
Hey, I'd be pissed if DoY lost the clubs... these beautiful, beautiful clubs.
Oh, and the awesome apartments. Seriously guys, you want to give up four apartment types? Seriously? Are you serious? What's wrong with you?
Hey, can't forget the awesome Faction Headquarters either. I miss that TG headquarters with the neat grotto thing under the main areas. And the FA HQ... seriously, don't you enjoy going into that secret area? What about the Crahn HQ? Come on, guys, that's one of the coolest areas!
I will concede one thing, though... aerial mobs would be incredible in DoY, what with the potential combat areas. Not just raptors, but what about hovereyes (not hoverbombers, that's just ridiculous, not to mention too massive). What about bringing back drones as mobs, like KK did earlier? Drone mobs and hovereyes (with better AI) would be perfect for DoY!!!
I am amenable to compromises, though... Perhaps just limit DoY guards to the areas immediately around the apartment lifts, stores, and perhaps a couple faction HQs like Crahn (paranoid, likes their Inquistors), FA (tired of getting ganked, loves their turrets), and TG (paranoid and agressive, wants a couple sharpshooters to delay invasions). Clearing out the rest of the city, let a few DoYbots loose, upgrade some of these Sidestreets and Sewers into pants-crapping-difficulty areas. Keep the level 1 sidestreets, water-cleaning plants, a quest sewer, and a couple storage areas as noob-leveling areas for the hard-as-nails noobs and idiot-didn't-read-the-fucking-manual noobs.
That way, DoY remains available for everyone that wants to live there, level there, and fight there.
You know what, though, KK? What about creating tunnels under DoY with turrets between each faction-held city zone? That way, people who live there that don't want to run the gauntlet of mobs, gankers, and guards can dodge most of them.
That said... we need a greater variety of shops. Or, hell, reduce the inventory at some vendor types so we can open more shops. I mean, cramming five hundred items into a Yo's is old. Real old. Not to mention, wouldn't it be classier to split up the furniture vendors (everywhere, not just DoY) into 'plants', 'chairs and tables', 'electronics' (citycoms, lamps, these massive Tech Haven blue towers, hackboxes), 'storage' (cabinets and boxes), 'etc'. That'd be just beautiful, KK, just beautiful.
Oh, and wall coverings. FFS, KK, these trophies and jappy calligraphy things aren't cutting it, I suspect. What about these paintings? I want the option of putting up propaganda posters! HOLOSIGNS, motherhonker, you speak it?! I know your artists are fucking dying to let their skills rip. What about a selection of graffiti tags that we can buy and put up? I'd give someone else's nuts to put up a 'Freedom' tag! Or even a 'Burma Shave' poster!
Ahem. Also, what about a few screenshots of *any* new furniture items? That would go a long way in fanning the flames in my heart for Neocron.
KK, any information on if you are going to fix the stupid headlights on the vehicles. Yes, it is a crucial safety feature for traveling the wastelands. I should report you to our vehicular safety agencies!
Also, I haven't heard word one about if the grenade launcher is working properly on the combat wheeler. Is it still the fookin' suicide-mobile? And why are you so damn fixated on not letting the gunner determine anything more than azimuth and firing times? LET THE FOOKING GUNNER MOVE THE LAUNCHER SIDEWAYS TOO! Driver-gunner cooperation be damned! You'd need a fooking vulcan mind meld for that level of cooperation, sheesh!
Also, KK, you never told us what happens if someone mods a flashlight with another flashlight. Bonus points, KK, if you tell us if someone throws a laserpointer into the deal.
