jester, click on the key like image in the circle to turn that bleeping off :p
im enjoying myself....only thing that i really cant see working for a while yet is the economy, everything is man made, so atm alot of things are stupid over priced, and 7.62mm ammo cost 10k to build per clip unless you make a HUGE batch...apparently

And yep this game still blows. The website has virtually no information on the game other than backstory. Their forums have been down since Sunday night. Ok I get its still new, and all. But after the first day their forums should have been up.
The only guides/help have been written by other newbies which is a good thing but still, a GM pointing you in the right direction would be nice.
The irc is fucking pointless, people just tell you the same shit "well you can go here and do this. or go here to buy this" have the time they are WRONG.
Weapons are so overpriced its not funny. The ecconomy IS player based, great idea for an open beta. A knife, a god damn knife costs like 20k creds. If you can manage to FIND a city that has guns for sale good luck affording a decent one, thats including being able to afford bullets.
The cities are pretty small. If you look at the mall-type map that shows Where You Are on it, most of the cities are roughly the size of like Viarosso.
Rehealing at a medstation takes too long for the price you pay. If I am paying 20 creds per percentage I wanna heal in no more than 30 seconds. 2+ minutes is rediculous.
Dying takes too long to respawn. That is a HUGE draw back thats going to drive away players. If you have to wait almost 5 minutes after dying (this is talking about being in the Cloning Facility) thats it for most. At least in NC you can respawn, albiet with synaptic impairment but you can still respawn instantly.
Yep, FOMK still sucks hardcore.
the yare up now...Quote:

dont die? the game also has perma death if you run out of clones. the death system is meant o be harsh. in NC death means nothing.Quote:

hmmm... server has been down since before i posted here.
i smell bullshit. no way you logged on when servers down for maintainance.
every city sells different things, if you put you 9mm pistol up for sale in Berlin, you can see it in Brooklyn...
and each city is pretty big....about the size of all plaza or all vio, easy....and feel alot less 2d than NC, and there are some outside zones, go to bookers bay, you can run around on the surface there, tho be careful if you're LED or FRC, Mercs usually have there and Berlin locked down :p
FOMK is shit all around. It's got the ugliest characters I've ever seen.
I just tried the matrix online today, and boy, that thing ROCKS! :D Compared to that, Fomk seems like a meaningless soon to be forgotten piece of shit. And I hope I will forget it soon, because it's giving me nitemares :(
Its still better then SWG :D .

My FOMK experience was not so good. I downloaded the client. I patched the client. I waited for the open beta portal to open. I log in. First thing I do is get all my keys mapped. Next I read all the in-game emails. Finally I figure out how to get out of my apt, but I still have no idea how to manipulate anything. I walk around for about 3 min before the first person shoots me. Didn't know he was enemy until I get up real close to see his tag, and even then I have to hit escape and learn the factions. I guess ammo is so scarce that this guy was killing me simply for my inventory, of which I had none. I come back with a tremendously underhealthed clone and on my way out of the hospital I am shot to death again. I come back with my tremendously underhealthed clone again and look around for a gun, gotta defend myself. No gun to be found. I am killed a third time in this 5 min period standing around in the market while chatting and asking basic questions.
I log out, I exit game, I uninstall FOMK open beta NEVER to return.
Perma Death, yes. The worst idea for a MMORPG, thats forced. If there were servers that had it as an option, I could agree. But come on, can you HONESTLY tell me when this goes gold and it requires money monthly, people will pay to lose a character after 3 deaths unless they shell out a good portion of their ingame cash for more clones? Might as well just bend over the barrell and ask them to ram that spiked dildo in harder cause either way you are getting FUCKED.Quote:

And I FUCKING LOVE your ability to tell me WHEN I AM LOGGED IN. Sure you can try an assumption based on my forum post time here but no assumption is safe. I was playing early this morning after trying it last night. Good job telling me when I am playing a game and when I am not.
well just keep your clones up to date, no perma death
Get clone insurance you pay monthly that way you dont have to keep buying clones all the time.
As for buying guns etc... just go to the marketplace in the city your in and use a terminal.
And to all those comparing NC2 open beta to FoMk open beta stop it!
NC2 open beta is just NC1 with DOY city added and some textures updated, however it had/has alot more bugs than NC1 did at the time of NC2's release.
KK wish their client could be as stable as FoMk's is atm, most of FoMk's issues atm are server-side and thats to be expected in a stress test.
Yea, without some massive patch this thing is going down the drain.
The characters look weird, the navigation is difficult, the noob experience is bad, the game is full of money sinks without any way to make money if your unarmed (mined myself into a corner), 24 hours to restart a character when you only get one?
And yea it may not have FRE's but at least NC doesn't outright lock up. If the socket errors don't get me the ctrl+alt+del does.
Skipping this thing....
One thing that cracks me up about the player models is that the heads are too small for the body.
If there was a starter guide I would try it again, but I can't be bothered to try and learn yet another game by trial and error.
I'm still doing that with Neocron!
So meh, I'll play NC2 instead for now.
is there a big difference in buying clones in NC or buy BP in NC ?Quote:
