Maybe even a new type of ammo mod that possible requires a new type of resist? God/Callash Knows :)
awww, i cant read it till i get home..... damn school internet restrictions.
Hey, you didnt give us warning about sending in articles! You lie, I'm going to quit NC! :p
I'm just kidding, someone had to say it.
Anyway, the new layout is good, especially the inclusion of the server checkboxes, as that'll help clear out confusion.
Though I suppose the fact you referred to the Tir'Quatil's Death Cult won't help, as that's actually just a Saturn thing. :p

"More and more people are found dead in the Wastelands whose corpes show definate signs of being sniped to death. Hunters, Deliverers and Locals alike fall victim to unknown persons, who seem extraordinarily efficient with their Sniper Rifles. Even some monks known for their almost godlike healing and protection abilities have been found dead. Their protection was of no use. People are getting really afraid, and some fragile runners were already reported to bust out with spontaneous paranoia.
One runner reported of finding a few empty bullets behind a bush, of which one had a strange silvery glow. Next to the bullets lay a Tarot card with the "Death" Sign. This is mysterious, and also frightening. Could it be the death cult we reported about? Or what else happened to make Snipers alot more dangerous all of a sudden?"
A new dawn has awoken, a new age takes its first breath.

hmm... stockbroker news...
I don't know if I want to reveal my knowledge... I spent a fair bit of time tracking all that :(
More and more sniping victims
More and more people are found dead in the Wastelands whose corpes show definate signs of being sniped to death. Hunters, Deliverers and Locals alike fall victim to unknown persons, who seem extraordinarily efficient with their Sniper Rifles. Even some monks known for their almost godlike healing and protection abilities have been found dead. Their protection was of no use. People are getting really afraid, and some fragile runners were already reported to bust out with spontaneous paranoia.
One runner reported of finding a few empty bullets behind a bush, of which one had a strange silvery glow. Next to the bullets lay a Tarot card with the "Death" Sign.

What does this mean?
Does it mean that sniper got some needed loving or that there is a new mob that kills with a sniper rifle?
Since there is no notes in the new test serverpatch about sniper loving, I guess that it means there is a new mob that kills with sniper rifles.
I am right?
hybrids the bane of existance j/k
well after looking at the test server notes they'll hopfully be a viable choice for some monks. Its good that they may not be able to use some of the higher lvl spells but can you give them their own type of "hybrid" spells something which has requirements of both apu/ppu just to show the unique situation of monkies. I suggested an idea ages ago where a hybrid spell could be something like a "fire shield" where it deals out minmal dmg anyone who comes close the shield but also gives fire protection (duh).

Cool looks like snipers will be something to watch out in the future.[
So the hybrid nerf that is introduced on the Test Server is going retail for sure, since it is mentioned in the Neocronicle... Great...

I've tested silent hunter in Test Server, no noticed changes, so maybe it has something to do with new mobs, an event, or is not ready for testing yet on TS.

I understand the PSI monk stuff in the Neocronicle like this:
Even though it is hard to be both a masterful PPU and APU, a few (the die-hard hybrids) still have managed to do admirably well. What seems to have changed now is that the most powerful energies (dont know if this pertains to both APU and PPU spells) now have a much higher TL. So the change is that the highest TL spells have become even higher. That's all I see from that article in the Neocronicle. So, yes I'd say it's nerf time again.

Not completely correct, the spells have raised APU/PPU requirements, but apart from that have stayed the same.
In fact, you still cap them at the same point as well.

Aaaah, I see. I stand corrected. Thanks for clearing that up, Folsom. :)
On another topic
If sniper mobs with aggro distances of 1 mile or so get introduced into the game, I'm gonna shit my pants everytime I'm in the wasteland. Could be kinda cool... or maybe not... think I'll stick with not. ;)
Bullits with a silver glow dropping PPUs, maybe a sniper damage mod that ignores PSI buffs'n'boosts?
Even if they just unerf the sniper rifle it means I'm going to be worried.
Just remember KK if u boost the rifles then the least you could do is give me some indication I've just been shot in the head with a high velocity round instead of just dropping my health like my runner didnt notice.

Realistically speaking, you'd actually notice the high-velocity round hitting you in the head the moment you die, since that's what's most likely to happen. :p
But yeah, at least a slight indication of where the damage came from would be nice, at least give the runner being shot a slight push away from the direction he/she was shot from.
What we were disscussing on Vent t'other day is we think that ths is somone from within the dome of york using a new type of weapon, The Neutron Sniper Rifle, which uses the weapon technology of the DOY bots.
Thas what we think this is about, and we hope that we are guessing rite, cos neutron weapons would phucking own!
~T
I'm not worried about a direction but I feel there should be a push effect like a nail gun which would give you a rough idea but mainly I just want to know I've been hit for a quarter of my health.

could this be stacking poison ammo for snipers? only thing I can think of except the mystical fabled PSI damage type.....
Player should scream in pain when hit hard. Too often I've found myself at low hp just because I haven't noticed I'm being shot at. Sniper or mob.

U wouldnt need a new type of ammo, if they made a poison ammo mod for more weapons, cos lets face it, the majority dont lvl up poison resist.
Doh, why do i never look to the end of a thread b4 making a post.
Anyway i hope they do make some bad boy poison ammo, shit, i will make a spy just so I can play.
I would love that.... My PE drugs to the SH and dmg caps it (will prolly cap a Disruptor too if I get a high stat one).:cool:
