Neocron brainport: Your ideas, suggestions and wishes

Under the evil idea category:

A new skill under dex would be created called thieving. Also the weapons on a runner's back or hip would be made targetable. A spy skilling all dex points in thieving would have say a 20% chance of grabbing the weapon off someone's back, the victim would recieve a notification in the red 'killed by' message text that a thieving attempt was made and by who, or was successful. Copbots would react to failed thieving attempts, successful ones would have to be acted on by the victim (and his friends).

No I'm not drunk or high. :D

UO made a system similar that worked very well. However I think in NC (as most of those weapons are stored in a "safe" slot) that it should be a random item from the inventory/Quickbelt (not armour or implants for the physical impossibilities of it).

It could just be made so if the weapon displayed is in the player's safe slot, the thieving attempt will always fail.. that would add another hazard to being a thief (it shouldn't be easy in the slightest..) though I think a random quickbelt item works too..

Regant mobs used to drop techs, now they only drop junk. They are tough mobs, not many can hunt them, so i think something valuable - as in usable - should drop from them... something different, like bio parts that can be used to make special items - drugs or smtg...

Ceres tunnel mobs also dropped techs, now removed, so only drop junk and wocs. Perhaps the odd tech should be allowed?

Warbots... Well i loved to hunt warbies, and they dropped tech's alot. Now its 3 rares in 20 warbies, and not many places have them anymore. MB was a sweet spot for hunting, also for stealing, but the balance seemed fine.

Perhaps make warbies tech drop they way it used to be, now that they have been removed and the spawn seems to be decreased..?

As i was told on other thread, firemobs are the way to go for techs. It makes no sense tho. Part of the fun of getting techs goes by hacking a robotic mob, and getting parts from their circuits that then get turned into weapons or implants.

Basically:
Regant mobs should drop items other then junk - maybe introduce new items.
Warbots are THE mob for tech's - please make them as they were.
Firemobs should drop implants and armor, etc...

Just a thought.

With the patch, Plaza 2 has once again become the spot where people go if they want some instant PvP action. Some people don't like it, or approve of it, but it's happening and it keeps people entertained.

The only thing I see detracting from it is that the copbots intervene. They are just plain annoying. Some people seemed to have managed to get them into the swimming pool for a while, but then some others thought it would be funny (or worth the exp) to kill those copbots making them reset back to their annoying original position.

I'd like to see the ones on the Plaza 1/Plaza 2 borderline in P2 completely removed. Keep the others, they're fine and do their job.

We're always going to have zone-whoring, especially when one side is much larger than the other (I'm Tangent so there pretty much is still a red vs blue scenario) so lets make it as fun as possible.

I'm very fine with the zoning pvp , it's very entertaining ;)

However I think it would make WAY more sense to do it like NC1: at pepper park... those dark streets are fit to mayhem !

Make plaza 2 safe again so that it doesnt feel so strange going from plaza 1 with many people to plaza 2 with nobody but pvpers at the zoning ...

No, making plaza 2 safe is not the way to spread out fighting more.


Make in city opps that work by faction not clan. That will give people a reason to fight over zones like pepper park.

:p

thats actually an interesting concept. Buildings like TT HQ with hackterms on the top floor, maybe 10 levels up, and large industrial like sectors in areas more like PP3 and the such.

... basically, you are suggesting 1-2 safe city sectors for the tradeskillers and market area, urban warfare with outpost bonuses for the PvP minded, outpost zones for the PvP minded with tradeskiller friends or alts and the rest of the world for PvE and leveling ?


Or did I totally misunderstand the concept you are trying to brew up?

I think tanks should have a pulselaser cannon like the slasher and the disruptor exept for a tank

I was thinking about this some time ago. The success of the theft should be roughly equal to the success of hacking the belts of those with a high SL...

Should not be able to steal with your LE in, and others should not be able to steal from you with your LE in...

I Agree. What more can I say?

Okay, honestly, I think REC needs to be revamped at least a little. It's cool as it is but it's just so limited! And the usefulness of the salvage tool has yet to be demonstrated because the return on any item seems to be just far too low to merit its existence.

Here's my concept- the recycling tool reduces any item in the game into its component chemicals and stores them in chemical pods. These might be the preexisting chemicals that we have currently or they might be something else (my original concept was it'd break them down into component chemical elements; carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, etc).

From there, you're gonna get a veritable buttload of chems from any particular item. Then you can use these chems as you please, or perhaps we could have a series of new recipes that require the salvage tool (basically put to the old REC tool's use) and create some special items that only (or largely only) exist by recycling (probably due to expense of traditional CST).

Basically, I'd like to see REC not just be some silly hobby or a way of making field-expedient ammunition and medkits.

I think H-C tanks have plenty to play with. They don't need more.

Melee tanks and hybrids on the other hand....

Make Doy an area where you can sort your soullight out also please. Put in some low end dungeons in certain zones along with citycoms in other zones so that people who get negative soullight can go there too.
