a friend of mine was telling me that kk are making new guns, i asked where he got this info and he wouldnt tell me but here is what he did tell me

HEW Kuang Mark-7 v 3.1.1 TL 100

HEW Sledgehammer v 2.1.1 TL 95

HEW Flatliner v 1.1.1 TL 90

MC5 plasma rifle

laser mines

spy drone

movement mines

time mines

DoY Guard RayGun TL 200

NPC CopBot Plasma Rifle TL 128

Selfrecharching Energygun

bat plague

mysterious infection

are these real or is he just being a dick and lieing to me to get my hopes up?

HEW Kuang Mark-7 v 3.1.1 TL 100

HEW Sledgehammer v 2.1.1 TL 95

HEW Flatliner v 1.1.1 TL 90

Thes first of these is ingame right now, although has been moved to TL96 as of 2.2. The others were ingame prior to 2.2 but then patched out. (Existing copies became weaker hacknet softs or milky rens



MC5 plasma rifle

Pretty sure it was a GM toy or something at some point.



laser mines

Pretty sure I've heard tales of them in some early beta. Wouldn't be a good idea.



DoY Guard RayGun TL 200

NPC CopBot Plasma Rifle TL 128

Again, pretty sure some people laid their hands on these in NC1 - noone was quite sure if they were allowed mind. Got removed in the transfer I believe.


As for the rest, pretty sure it's just made up, or stuff that got left in the defs but never worked properly.

As for a patch, this is all that has been said on that. No word how far the patch got, or if it is still being worked on.

what the fuck
I'm pretty sure that that's P1 Crichton's. Does this mean that you're finally making P1 unsafe again, or is it only this new laser weapon? I'm going to guess the latter rather than the former.
Also, it looks like spies are getting special treatment YET AGAIN. Isn't it enough that they have the dissy and the AK? While monks and melee tanks re neglected, you're wasting time overpowering spys even more?

This bullshit is the reason that I stopped buying into KK's crap. I suggest that you all abandon ship too, before you regret throwing away any more of your money.

They ARE working on a patch for us.

Is this more speculation, or is there some truth in this statement?

It's been almost a year now since the last patch - and it would be excellent to see some changes. There's a good buzz around NC at the moment, especially in Neocron itself. It feels lived in again! A new patch would bring even more people back, and give everybody the urge to go out and test/explore the new features.

Now, whilst the game is temporarily free, would be a great time to release a patch. However small it may be.




Oh - and on the subject of that bat, I once duelled Lupus (A GM in NC1) in Neofrag, and he was using a bat that did ridiculous damage :D

Bring back everything!

Forget balance, bring back Kami's, Spirit mods, Gatlin turret MK3s, yellow, smurf-blue and red tank PAs. Bring back Antibuff for APUs, and give some love to the melee class.

Bring back FUN!

All this work on balance has unbalanced the classes more than ever. I LIKED the fact that an APU + PPU team could take out 4 or 5 people if played correctly. That was balanced. An APU should outdamage every other class, especially if teamed with a PPU.

As it stands right now, I see spies all using the Disruptor - doing a SILLY amount of damage to all classes. I see tanks taking off half a spy's health in ONE SHOT of the Ravager.

I'm all for balance, but NC will never be 100% balanced. It only takes one or two weapons to unbalance the game, so why not take the focus off balance-perfection and instead, focus on fun + customisation options?

nah ...

I do like a lot of the changes that happened over the past few years but the big problem always seems to be that some weapons become unbalanced/overpowered.

There is no need to go back to classic NC. They just need to fix some of the unbalanced weapons.

Biglines
19-09-08, 21:16
why a game based on different classes should be "balanced" is beyond me... imho a spy shud only be able to win to a tank as a sniper or a stealther, not in 1on1 combat to a tank... how warped is that... so instead of every single class doing the same damage, focus on weapons being only useful in certain situations... else why not remove all classes but one, all weapons but one, and woop eachothers ass with that one "balanced" weapon...

the fun aspect is being able to do what u like, if fun is stealthing and sneak killing some unsuspecting tank all lonely in the middle of the wastelands, or storming some stronghold with 20 tanks, unbalance allows that, balance just makes it boring

i suppose i also cud have said /signed, but felt like typing something other than my reports for uni...

Hell-demon
20-09-08, 01:42
The problem is because of lack of balance you can do what you like but be aware you wont be effective as everyone else. If everything was more balanced than your play style could be more effective. As it stands everyone is doing the same thing. Everyone is using the same weapon and same setup. Every cookie cutter. It's always been like this with people going "oh it's monkocron", "oh its tankocron or "oh it's flavour of the month - ocron".

WoC is the biggest imbalance because unless your a pe or spy there really is no weapon you can use. Tanks get a rocket launcher but thats bollocks compared to the rifles, pistols and other crap that seems to be centred round the dexterity users. So now you'll encounter x-bow private eyes and ak or beretta spies wearing buggy holovests.

Psi seem to be only good for healing and being everyone's bitch. Don't think of even contemplating melee on a tank because you will fail and become another devourer wielding or other overpowered heavy weapon tank. So your options really do get limited because of balance, or rather lack of. Everyone just uses rifles now and a get out of jail free stealth tool. Seems nc is getting bland and population is starting to drop again.

Sharper Blade
20-09-08, 03:55
Hell-demon is right, we need to make it so that you can do anything and still be viable, Re viablate.. Make the lower lvl rare weapons viable again, like libby and judge and pain easer and whatnot so that pes, spies, and tanks can have fun with the non woc pistols and rifles. My favorite thing in neocron was to have a gangster style libby running around in pp1 being JUST as good if not better than a cs tank if played correctly. We need more diversity and more options. Dissy spy and Freeman pe and cs/dev tank and then monks get the worst options of all. We need to add the kamis back and maybe tweak the drugs or the cap skill of some characters, Pe's should be able to use ravager again. The more options the better I'd say. We should NOT be limited to 3 options that are viable, mix it up.

Kanedax
20-09-08, 08:32
Sharper I pwn you, you tit. But other than that I agree pretty much. My problem with nc is that I get chars capped but then in order for them to be viable I feel I have to woc, especially pistol spies. My pistol spy is almost not playable without woc and this bothers me as I don't feel like spending the time to woc (droning is way too boring and I dont have the time to woc with pistols) I just wish the non woc pistols would be given a boost, maybe a non woc beretta type pistol is in order, ROLH is alright, killed a couple of guys this week with it, as well as slasher but theyre barely par weapons. WoC should not be such and advantage.

Hell-demon
20-09-08, 13:06
The aim of WoC was originally a status thing, extra content for bored cap people. Now it is an extra level of grind. WoC is a terrible blight on neocron.


The economy is fucked because of wisdom of ceres discs, which go up and down in price like a yoyo. Then there is the time and money and frustration needed to acquire the level. Then what?

You only really need 1 level of woc so there was no point implementing 5 levels to it. Even then if you have WoC psi or strength you have very little content to play with. But if you are a spy or pe you have oodles of rifles and guns. Some are actually teh same model with better stats. I can't help but think the woc content was based on what the art team came up with that week.

Then again KK do a lot of outsourcing so maybe it was another company who thought we all just used rifles to get by.

I'd donate one of my testicles to see a patch in October.


My Ultimate Patch:

'Customisation > Specialisation'

- MOVEON gets + 5 STR bonus and is made PE only, thus giving M-C/H-C PE more options
- All Melee damage increased by 15-20%
- APU frequency upped by 10%
- Low level drones fixed
- Mob damage reduced by 20% in all areas EXCEPT Regeants Legacy
- Old or NEW skins are implemented, and selectable
- Colour customisation of clothing re-implemented
- Pulse laser Rifle damage reduced by 10%
- WoC REMOVED from the game, all former WoC weapons and armour no longer require WoC level 1. All WoC weapons available from rare pool.
- A variety of new RARE implants (IE - drop in 6 parts again) added.
- We care less about balance, and more about fun
- OP rules changed. Hacknet no longer required, but 5 minute 'cool downs' added between hacks
- H-C Pulselaser cannon introduced
- Red laserblade range introduced - one for PE, one for tank (Rare, with swirly)


= me happy.

Yeah, thinking about it, I changed my mind - just set it exactly what it was before. It was useful for all classes, but certainly didn't make any class over-powered.

Mob damage reduced by 20% in all areas EXCEPT Regeants Legacy

I say the damage is about right, maybe a few minor tweaks for some mobs.

As for Regents, I say increase the damage by well over a good 20%. That place is too stupidly easy to solo for high level mobs, especially when you compare it against places like Chaos caves which have lower rank mobs.

Big green beam-based weapon = red pulse blob firer how? Although it is a valid point that nobody else has plasma waves. I still think a big fuckoff pulselaser cannon wih some nasty reqs on it (like 120 Str and lots of TC, but good damage to make it worth the defensive loss) would be cool.
