I know this is a stupid question... what is the ETA on the next patch please, I've been waiting for weeks now and this is pretty much taking the pish seeing as I am a paying customer and I feel KK are just leading me on.... please get the patch sorted KK as i'm sick of all the bullshit in the game at the moment,
ta.
How can KK be leading you on when they never give patch dates?
EVERYONE knows patches are "when it's done!" (c) (TM) (R) (whatever)
If you don't like the game, leave. A patch very rarely drastically changes the game (NC1 patch 160 - that's about all I can think of).

to people asking for patches or info : give up... like we all did
Well they didn't know that we wanted a patch until this thread so they will start making it now. :rolleyes:
yeah I know how you feel, you want frequent patches that fix small things rather than one big patch which comes out every month and a half, meanwhile you have to live with things during those 6 weeks.
but I can't blame them, it's a lot of work to do internal testings by yourself [no community support], and then taking down the servers to patch them.
I can assure you that we're not sitting on our hands here. We have a serious time pressure to prepare the game for the international release and all that entails (including item tracking, remember) and that kind of effort take time. I can't give you a date, just the assurance that it will be released as soon as its ready.

All i can say is pressure from the work lads is beginning to pull me else where, I probably will leave sooner rather than later...Quote:

I aint having a go at u nid, i respect you as a member of the community, however KK in general are pushing people away, even oldies like me who have played for over 2 years. I've stuck by KK through thick and thin yet they still fail to deliver. I thought they were really beginning to make progress when they added a patch every week or so, but that just stopped.
Games like EQ2 for example, they add new stuff all the time, they reset the server every 24 hours or so, what is so hard about this? Do you really expect paying customers to keep waiting months at a time for a game that is hammerd with bugs and bad FPS while you take months to make a patch that will just add more bugs...
Just some food for though guys, if this patch really does come make sure its spot on!

I appreciate your concern and we've been putting a lot of pressure on the devs to get this patch complete so we can address these character issues. Unfortunately, we're waiting on the patch before we can do that which I mentioned in the update.

/edit - I'm thinking of asking Seminus to send Mr. Jones to pay a visit on Codi as an added "incentive". ;)
It is nice of you to reply to my rant thread nid, I know how shit it feels when dealing with bad vibes all the time, I get it a lot in my job.
Well I got 2 accounts just paid for which will last for 3 months or so, i'm hoping that everything will begin to unfold within this time, then I can think about my options a bit more when hopefully KK has got the patches rolling out.
Neocron, unlike EQ, doesn't have the backing of a megacorp like Sony.
Neocron, unlike EQ, doesn't have a 13% share of the MMOG market (source mmogchart.com), the money which comes with such a player base.
Neocron most likely has a much smaller dev team than EQ.
Neocron, unlike EQ, is based off a bastardised 4 year old engine that KK seem intent on breaking just to get a "headline grabbing" boss mob.
Neocron 2, unlike EQ2, hasn't yet been officially released in all territories.
And msot of all, Neocron, unlike EQ, doesn't have a long track record of frequent updates and expansions.
The recent announcements from KK and appoint of Nidhogg as community liason doesn't mean KK is suddenly going to church out a patch every week that fixes all the major bugs in Neocron. It's just not going to happen.
In fact, other than increased communication from KK, which is nice, I am currently sceptical that anything new will happen. As I said before, why do KK need to appoint someone to tell them that we want what they promised us 6 months ago in their plan files and NC2 announcements.
From what you're saying it sounds like you're waiting for a patch that's going to fix all the bugs, memory leaks and FRE's and give everyone a steady 200 fps everywhere. Well I've got news for you - it'll never happen.
My advice is that if you don't like playing the game as it is now, leave and go out with your mates or whatever, you'll be a much happier person.

I completely understand you, but you've managed to point out a rational comparison of NC and EQ, KK and Sony.
all of what was said will happen, sooner or later, but your expecting KK to give EQ performance. it's always reasonable to say that the staff should grow with the player base population, thats happening right now I believe. but having a huge staff to get everything done on time is just too big a luxury, pay them, pay the space their using, pay the taxes on his pay, etc. it's pure mathematics, the more players, the more money, the bigger staff you can afford to have. again, EQ had money from Sony, that changes everything for them. at the beggining they could have had a large staff which was wasting more money than making, because Sony was paying the bills, now who can do that for KK?
...all the players who left due to bugs and broken/failed promises.Quote:

why are u trying to piss me off? I dont understand this... im stating a very good point that KK need to sort their act out. And why the hell should I NOT expect the engine to run smooth.. FFS the game looks shit compared to say HL2 yet i get 3 times the FPS in HL2 than this game, its SUPPOSED to be a DX9 game yet it runs as if im on an AMD K62 400!!! Im on a 3 ghz P4...............................Quote:

Ok OK EQ2 has the backing of sony, wup-de-doo, it doesnt mean to say KK Should not put any less effort into making this game better and it shouldnt stop them adding new shit or resetting the server every 24 hours, why cant they? They are selling a product, they have the backing of a half decent publisher (or so i'm led to believe), if they want results sort the mess...
The game has been fucked over for months now on the MAIN ENGLISH server, [ edited ]
And finally, why should I have to fuck off with my friends to other games, this game has the GREATEST potential of any MMO, yet KK choose to fuck us over day after day, an say ok we will go and see if we can get more cash in Asia rather than sorting the shit out in the EU/US.
(p.s please feel free to edit any trolling, flames etc I have put in the post as i am rather drunk :p )
It's not been officially released in the EU/US yet. Basically, we're just hitching a ride on the german release, and you should consider yourself lucky to be able to do so... :oQuote:

lol
Some things never change, do they?
PS: Beeing drunk isn't an excuse. I mean hey! must been a real good party if you prefer to post here instead of playing with the girls ;)
