Neocron brainport: Your ideas, suggestions and wishes

Ok basically, this idea comes from tradeskilling and shops.

This also takes away the the reason of spamming messages in trade every 2 minutes.


This basically is a "Semi-permi" chat box above your head to advertise goods/services you need or offering.

The box will appear above your head like chat messages do.

To change what it says, you have to change it through the city com. You can also only display a certain number of characters in the box, so not to fill up the zone with it.

It can only be activated and shown in non-pvp zones (Plaza1, faction HQ's etc and leaves when you leave a safe zone or log out)


To make it a bit more roleplay friendly, this "advertising" should cost money (say 50k to initially set it up and 5k to change it)

Could be able to turn it off and on via city com.

Frankly all that would be needed in order to get me to come back to NC2 would be more story. There is one thing that NC2 has over every other MMO I have played, and that is the epics. I've done them all, and it's still the most fun thing I've done in any MMO.

They provided each their own little story that neatly wove into a global story regarding all the factions, so by the end of them you came out a view of the factions as they saw each other and what the stark reality of some were. They gave you meaningful tasks, even if it was just taking something to someone and reading the dialogue, they were more than just 'Go kill 5 *Insert Mob Name Here* and you'll get some credits and/or a reward!'.

I've yet to see an MMO implementing such meaningful and story rich 'epics', the closest they get is a two or three quest chain with no meaningful tasks that really tells you nothing about a global picture, just an NPC's problems. NC2 needs to capitalise on that.

2.3 should be a content update, and by that I don't mean a new dungeon or spangly new weapons, I mean real meaningful quests. New epics, or sets of missions like epics, and I would resub in an instant. You can tweak weapons or add new graphics all you like, but if there isn't anything interesting to do then you'll never get the population back. The Faction Revamp rekindled interest, now lets give returning players something to do other than gank in P1. Something meaningful, something epic (excuse the pun ;) )

First and foremost important thing is the netcode, just wanted to say that whether your gonna bother doing it or not.

Next thing I would like to see is you stop using WoC as end game, it's so dumb for a PvP game. So far this has been all the end game you have introduced in around a year so for me I've had nothing to do as I hate the idea of WoC, why would I want to use mordern day weapons when I play a game because it has futuristic elements?

Add real PvP content, think up something new for PvP like control of zones in neocron, when a faction gains majority control of say Pepper Park or Viarosso that factions NPC guards appear and hold control until a new faction takes control.

Basically I'd like to see you all use all that imagination you must have to have created this amazing idea for a game in the first place, WOC IS NOT IMAGINATIVE.

In addition to my previous post in this thread/topic:

- More WOC and Regular (futuristic) items
- More NPC's and more NPC Dialog!
- Kami Chips!
- Dual Wielding melee weapons, or ranged weapons...
- Bigger Packs of Research Substance, Construction Grease, Implant Disinfection Gel, et al.
- Random terrorist attacks on NC by anti-NC factions in a similar vein to what happened in the original Neocron 1 offline demo.
- Navray fails sometimes and leads to incorrect locations, like into a wall for at least 2 of the options available. This should be fixed.

More as I think of them...

Well there's allways this and this.

Some other things include ditching SL and going to a purely symp based system. Makes the now more complex faction relations work better.

Dual wield, kami chips.

More missions that explore the factions background and get the runner more involved in activities that they would be doing as a member of their faction (allready PMed Snow about that one).

Accessories, need more stuff to get that cyber punk feel.

Full-'borg?

One last thing, put the plasma pistol clip size back to 40, the current firing to reloading time ratio is far too small.

That's brilliant. I really, really like this idea.

Thumbs up dude.

Sorry, not with you on the duel wield. Never have been. However, Kami chips were ace, and I would too like to see them return! :)

It's always been needed. Customisation, including cigarettes and sunglasses :)

Do it. DJ and I were testing clip sizes last night. The judge goes through 2 clips to the 1 clip of the slasher.

Dual wield purely as a visual thing, not something that would affect balance (and it can be rather easily implemented, the modeling/animation part is the hardest bit).

Unfortunately walking around with the cyberpunk equivalent of a billboard strapped to my head will do no good unless there is people to see it tbh.

Take for example i'm of farming or levelling i still have trade open and if i see someone selling something i like i DM them.

This may prevent Spam in local but i doubt it on trade channel.

Rework the regular mission system.

Quick kill missions need to be set to those mobs that the player is going to find around the place. Having CM Raptor missions is a bit daft when you live on the other side of the map and are hostile to TG....

Also, make the mission symp reqs run off personal symp, not clan symp. I have 100 CM symp on my cster but I can't do tl 130+ cst missions.

still hope to see any woc2 woc3 items; armor, weapons, any imps maybe..

Bring back the Kamikazi chips, but make them have a WoC requirement.
Make the Tank Kamikazi a Con WoC implant
Make the Monk Kamikazi an Int WoC implant
Maybe also make the Rifle and Pistol Kamikazis Int WoC implants, but that would mean that PE's couldn't use it.

There is very little defensive benefit of going for lower tl weapons, or offensive penalty for going for higher tl weapons. Without taking healing etc into consideration, choosing a weapon with double the dmg output of a lower tl weapon should surely mean having having to sacrifice half your defense. Finish balancing before moving on to something else

The problem is the very shallow increases of dmg/time for extra point skilled. Swapping a ppr for an offense imp doesn't make much real difference. Hence why you have tanks with ncpd, FF cpu and ppr. Same with the other classes.

why would making it use int woc stop pe's?..... and tbh making it require woc is also pretty lame :wtf:
