Hi guys,
I don't know if it's been discussed already but I really feel like KK needs to boost vehicles, because since the 2.2 patch, they are useless for OP fights and this is sad that this side of the game was removed....I'm more specifically talking about the Rhinos and the Reveeler chaincraft....maybe some others that i cant think right now.
The Damage output and frequency needs to be higher, cause right now, a Creed does more than a Rhino....
Thanx!
I agree, you never see anyone bringing a rhino or reveler to OP's anymore. Would be fun to see them back.Quote:

With the fact that we see no more of those vehicles, Anti-vehicles rocket launchers are more useless as well, driving subskill is not really as appreciated as well (im sad i have a driver) and people dont go group hunt in firemobs zones really anymore like we used to see a lot.....and which was getting poeple out of normal caving places which was nice for PvP as well.
Thanx!
G grand theft posting :)

Good afternoon.
Since the patch I have been doing lots of fighting in Plaza 2 and I have loved it so far. However one thing is lacking in Neocron for me at the moment and I wonder how to fix it. Even though the whole population has been moved into one city (and we were at 20% last night) everyone seems to be crowded back into Plaza 1. Now I realise that in some ways this is good advertising for the new guys and stuff but I think it would be better if we could spread the population out a little over the zones. The only people who seem to use hqs are tradeskillers doing their missions and what not, but wouldnt it feel more like a city if more people actually passed through the hqs.
I would like to see KK implement some form of small (no more than +10) faction skill bonus for being in a faction and in its HQ or the zone the HQ is in. For example a Biotech runner might get a +10 implant bonus in Via Rosso 1 or Tangent might get +10 Cst in Via Rosso 2 etc. City Admin could probably get a +10 health or hitech combat bonus for example in Via Rosso 3 (I say this due to NCPD building, rather than CA hq which is Plaza 1).
The Tsunamis might get a +10 barter (gambling and all that stuff) in their zone, Black Dragons perhaps +10 Recycle (those crack houses have to come in for something useful) and TG might get +10 hitech combat for defending the homeland in the Canyon. Crahn would obviously get +10 PPW in Pepper 3 I would expect or somesuch useful skill for them. Protopharm likely would get +10 research if in the lab or something.
Obviously this is a rough draft of an idea - it came to me out of the blue as it were today tbh and I realise not all factions are tradeskiller friendly and not all are combat friendly but it would go someway to individualising the different factions and making them unique from one another.
It would also give people a small incentive to leave the sanctity of Plaza 1 (while also having safety inside faction hqs) but it would give people who are enemy to a particular faction an element of risk if they wanted to deal with an individual from that faction. You might even want to make P1 unsafe again if this idea works I dont know. I was only here for about 6 months in NC2 originally before Unreal tournament lured me away so I dont remember what the call was to make P1 "safe" again other than the constant ganking I heard about.
Anyway, more people moving around the city imo would be better as it makes it feel more alive. Obviously some people could still play it safe by gen-repping everywhere but thats just the same as it is now anyway. I think this idea would work because it helps the newbs (+10 research to research your own weapon is just as important at level 4 as it is iding mc5s at level 60 odd).
Anyway, its just the beginnings of an idea, if anyone wants to flesh it out or tell me its been posted before go right ahead.
**********************************************************
THis needs to be read, read and reread and mr antrim needs some credit. its a brilliant idea and would really add depth to the game and factions and encourage some more people to be around there home zones etc and spread out some more.
5*
ps. im not nickin the idea im just "hollywoodizing" it all bud :)
Sorry, forgot again to mention that :
The fact that the vehicles arent used no more for hunting + OP fighting also affect the tradeskillers that were making good business out of vehicles CST + sell. It also affects the faction NEXT that could probably have more runner vy having this significant point if it was more usefull.
OK enough said....hope KK puts VHC better than they are now :)
I really like that idea, especially if it would mean making Plaza Sec-1 unsafe, other than the protection from Copbots.Quote:

What I'd like is the feeling that you come across an enemy and attack them, not that everyone goes to the P1/P2 zone-line to kill each other.
Honestly, at the moment, Pepper Park seems like one of the safest places in Neocron!
Well, since firemobs are like one of the only sources of unressed techs now, I'd say that firemobbing is going to be making a comeback.Quote:

There would need to be a way to differentiate between enemies and friendlies though, maybe show the names, clans, and factions of the runners inside of vehicles above the vehicle.
I can imagine seeing a row of rhinos facing another row of rhinos, both with a few scattered revelers, hoverbombers and hovercarriers overhead, and then assault gliders and airguards swoop in. That would be so awesome, much more immersive and exciting than a bunch of super-powered runners, running around shooting each other.

Problem is there is already a lot of stress on the engine to tell each client how each person has customised his character. They seem to have taken away colouring of clothes due to how it can slow down clients, so I reckon giving characters more customisation like ciggars, sunglasses etc, will just lead to more FRE's, crashes and lag which frankly this game doesn't need more of.Quote:

(I doubt that letting us use the old NC1 models would lag it though, as these are still in-game, and used by many NPCs.)
As a PE I hate how you can only win fights againsts spies or tanks if they suck too bad to hit you, otherwise you drop like a fly. And yes, I have tried playing tank and I beat my brother every time, usually with half health or over, even though with our equally matched PEs we win about 50/50 each. Also, PPUs still have too big an effect on the outcome of a fight, it takes sooo much longer to kill someone with PPU buffs, even though the aim of 2.2. was to do so that someone who can beat someone 10/10 times without a PPU could still beat them 10/10 when they do have a PPU.
Balance it, or just go back to 2.1 because the game was more fun and balanced back then
what is the point of having a ppu's buffs if its not going to have any effect to the outcome of a battle???? 10/10 without buffs sure but then if you go against a low lvl char does this still mean its a draw on who dies?Quote:

How i look at it is 2 tanks v 1 tank the one tank will lose, same for 1 ppu 1 tank versus the single tank will also lose but if its 2v2 then its balanced.........cant be bothered to type more as im enjoying xmas.........Hope you lot are 2
Enjoyz

PS my b/day in 2 days :D
I think it's stupid to balance PPUs for 2vs2 though, they should be balanced for bigger teams than that.Quote:

-Round the decimals on implants and armor, it's really unnecessary and confusing
I'd like to see an option to label our furniture:

Labeler Tool
Insert tag of xxxxx characters on certain items - like cabinets.
Tag is of personal choice of course...
Would help tremendously ;)
KK, take note! Tis a damned good ideaQuote:
