Split the Tech Part Pool up into 2 (excluding MC5). 1st pool = the parts from NC1 that would drop from traditional tech dropping mobs. 2nd pool = NC2 parts that would drop from high lvl DoY Mobs.
Also create more dungeon/mob specific items. I miss trying to find a filter heart 2 out of a terror raptor, and it is so fun as a first timer trying to go thru el farid lvl 2 then getting the armor when you finally complete it.
fix actual weapons such as 1st love, exec, slasher...etc, those weps used to work great but for some reason not anymore with nc2.
bring back original freq and power, the exec used to be as powerful as the crossbow, bring back tl 113 for the slasher, it was a fucking good gun. fix healing light...
Before asking for new guns, items, we should fix items we have for now, I would like to choose the high end weapon I like, not the one that is not bugged

Have you read the Sparta information? It seems like everything related to weapons is getting adjusted.Quote:

1. Please improve the MC-5 starter experience, kind of like the way Mr. Jones is set up. I don't know how to finish that area, let alone if it's worth doing. What would be kind of nice is to get some starter money, and maybe some really low level Kevlar armor, just so that the sewers don't hurt you that quickly... And you have an incentive to complete it. People avoid the MC-5 new area like it's plagued, and new players find it almost impossible to do. If it really isn't worth fixing... Then please provide a Gen Rep that can be used free inside the base, with one person saying "If you're feeling better, you best head on out of here. This Genetic Replicator is programmed to take you to your apartment. Take it easy, and don't mess with that chip."
Should be easy to do... And either or would help. A new player, like me, really didn't know what a Gen rep did when I found it in the game until someone told me to use it to leave that area.
2. Uhm... Maybe put in some new textures for the sky? It's very drab and lifeless, and the sun clips out during a sunrise... Was very sad.
3. Maybe... Instead of bad weapons in the store... Could they be just a bit better? Fair, or mediocre? So that there's incentive for someone to work on it, but you could use it in a pinch. It just seems odd that a store like Archer Wesson would sell bad weapons that you would need to get immediately changed. At least have the option of using a store bought weapon...
4. A personal bank that's shared between characters of the same account? They have that in other games... And it seems to work well. Or maybe just a footlocker in your house you can designate who can access and who can't, and wouldn't despawn the contents.
That would be very nice, yes. And I do believe that it is in the works? Or at least it is planned to improve.Quote:

I believe that this has been suggested before. I have no idea if it is in the works or even possible though.Quote:

Mr Jones (or similar - perhaps a Faction Representative??) should be available for all factions, not just Pro-City.
Currently there are some items which are effectively so good that people will go around the houses to get them:
Private Eye Stealth Tool
Spy Stealth Tool
Quad
Barter CPU
Undroppable Hack Tool
I think those are pretty much the most useful.
As previously mentioned Black Dragon gives access to highest level Private Eye armors, yet if I start as a Black Dragon Private Eye, I am unable to run the Jones Mission for my Stealth Tool. (Surely this is counter-intuitive?)
The above would be more sensible because it gives a player the opportunity to test out different weapon types by running the respective mission.
I also think Lomming should be without exp penalty below /30.
This would give characters the opportunity to change their mind about their specialization without losing out on their hard work.
Also prevents them from being mislead into lomming away all their hard earned levels from some ill-advice.
That's not correct. Only City Mercs and Twilight Guardian are currently unable to complete Mr Jones missions. That's due to them starting in a location which does not have access to the relevant mission sectors. Every faction which starts it's life in Neocron, be that in Outzone, Pepper Park, Plaza or Via Rosso will get a visit from Mr Jones when they arrive from MC5.Quote:

Well then, my mistake.Quote:

It would be great if you could go to the job center and look for "busy" caves.
For example:
Chaos Cave 1: LE'd runners: 3
Graves: LE'd runners: 4
...
Regarding the storyline it makes perfect sense, that LE'd people are trackable by "the system".
1. A complete overhaul of pve, if you wont sell characters pve has to not make you want to rip out your nails to relieve yourself from the pain.
2. A limit on drugs you can use OR downsides for drugs, right now people just use a TON of drugs then have a ppu over the zone line to completely negate the DF meaning right now drugs have no downside, just a huge boost to survivability and damage.
I really dont mind the pve at high end warbots and fire mobs only takes a day or two to get to that level.
System mate i think your just going to have to level again like the rest of us I know you and cold had a shit ton of everything but we all had to start again and build back up.
The drugs part I agree I really hate taking drugs but you have no option if you want a good setup
just 3 idea ( i dont read the whole tread ):
-make the npc sell items in a normal state , if player need or want more they need to contact a reser and construct.
-more clothe choice in rokwear , more style for PA.
-(not really my taste but) put an auto- implanter doc but at very high cost ( like 500 nc per TL, this put the 115 to 57500 nc)
Besides running a new Neocron on a new engine.. those would be my 2 wishes from reading the thread:

2- bring back the Hybrid
3- get a real classbased Balancing
4- Rebalance the Weaponry
5- Get the game out of Regants to the other unused Locations...
Those things would be great for me...
1. make the hitbox static especialy for flying mobs
2. give the NPCs a KI that feel more realyable
3. line of sight. if you dont see something you cant hit it nor know where it is now. so NPCs should also work like this.
4. Some NPCs has movement that is terribel.
5. More more mutch more content! :) Not only weapons, ok may be a Shotgun with small rockets/grenads. I say NC lack of realy good missions beside the epic runs. More Items for decoration.
6. I love the overhall of graphics. Do more! Let NC light-up like a new star. No not all, I also like the dirty corners of NC. I mean polish every graphics.
7. Increase the maps. Expand the City and Wastes and also the sewers, caves, apps, etc.
8. Improve Rigers! They are standing alone with no backup in the field and can be killed without a real chance to fight back or run away. I think of a HUD with Radar detection of enemies. There's also no Power Armor for Droner's. Drones need more bullets or a reloading function when fly by over the rigger. Drone movement is dumb, work it over. With the actual up and down movement angle it is hard to hit things that move fast or fly to high. A lift up an down function bind to some other keys would be nice.
9. Player market would be a nice way to sell and buy things even if the otherside isnt online.
10. A vehicle with storage room for things. :) and more VHC depots.
well its no secret the game is slowly declining. since the game is community run now, how about setting up server files so that those that remain can host their own public or local servers? i know that this game can very well be played to an extent alone, why not allow an offline mode too? this way the game can live forever!
A gaming-experience without zones. Synching is buggy as hell anyway. But I know its not possible with the old engine.
The problem isn't the engine - The problem is the content. Never wondered why you can walk from plaza 1 to plaza 2 -> jumping from the bridge about 20m down then walking through plaza 3 back to plaza 1 without "compensating" these 20m. There is no lift, no ramp, no stairs.Quote:

A full server reset. As the game is right now, everyone has everything or is overgeared for everything. Maybe a reset would breathe some life back into this game.
muahaha - made my day.Quote:

I guess the most obvious (to me) improvement to NC would be accurate, appropriate and comprehensive documentation.
As it stands now--and has stood since launch--the fans have put forth more effort in this area than perhaps should be.
Much intellectual capital left us, the player-base, when the last crew of Veteran Players ceased logging in.
It was a blow.
We are in a vacuum.
Fill the void... Fill the server.
Simple as that.
I think the patch was a good start. Now we need to take the unused spaces and add new content. Take doy for instance. Groundwork is allready there. Add some new interesting mobs, let em drop techs or flavor items. Make that shit hard. The thing I've noticed is most of us have scattered we play alone. Make it imperative to use groups. Make the loot unique so its worth going. Hell fix WOC while your at it. For the amount of work u put in to get WOC items. The rewards are paltry at best. Don't flame to hard just my two cents
1. Finish balancing weapons, classes, heals, etc. so game is fun to play again and competitive. Balance mobs so leveling isn't a huge struggle. Balance damage from mobs so that hiding isn't the only effective way to hunt.
2. PLAYER OWNED SHOPS/auction house. Something to that effect. Would be nice to be able to interact with the population that isn't online when you are.
