Dude apus have had a reticle for ages. I've been playing my apu and now it plays just about like every other class, just weaker and no range. The nice thing is a full lock does fuck yeah! damage. :)
Cashcubes. Cashboxes. Money pots. items where you can store cash. pls?!
Also option to store credits in GoGo.
Oh and about furniture:
Make it so that when placing furniture, 1 long click reset the piece position, 1 short click rotates the piece in 45º.
It takes ages to line stuff up when placing furniture in app lol.
Customizable Paintings and Posters
and player shops. Or have i missed them somehow?
Apparently there are limitations with the code preventing player shops from being implemented.Quote:

Maybe because they'd have to rebuild NC from the ground up, maybe their staff don't have the skills needed. What ever the reason I doubt very much that we can expect things like "net code fixes" or no lag, or clipping to be solved. Sad but a fact of life :) Don't have enough staff where I work either :D
Now some more suggestions I have.
Tell the people who say computer games warp kiddies minds and make them bad people, the following: "Why don't you go outside and play; hide and go fuck yourself with a rusty corn cob holder!?"
Next bump up Neocrons age limit to 18 or 21, then Make strippers nude like those screen shots... NC porn?
Give us more closes and furniture too, and while your at it make Female PA with boob slots.
Alter characters so we can be fat, tall, short, skinny, busty, "athletic" add in some nice things like glasses, tatoos, piercings, and those funny hats with propellers.
Also re-think drugs. Remove the annoying flash. instead give drugs a negative effect to stats after a while EG:
A combat drug might leave you shakey afterwards eg:
+20 HC could turn into -10 HC. If you take another pop you end up with only +10 then after it wears off -20 hc. This means the longer more drugs you take the worse things will get. Or some such.
Heres idea that could make it easier to gather ppl for OP defenses (often the "ninja" accusations we see, are met with replies of "well gather some ppl and fight us") ...so I though of a way this could be realised swiftly.
So the suggestion is....IF you are a member of a clan that owns an OP, then your team-mates are automatically given the same OP setting as you, for those OPS you own, regardless of their faction/clan.....thus they will GR to the UG beside you.
So basically , your team mates become pseudo-clan members and vice versa.
So for an example:
Clan A has 4 online, Clan B attacks with 12 ..... Clan A could call for friends/allies , perhaps gathering 4-5 additional help. They can then add those runners to their team, and suddenly they have effectively 9 members who can GR to the UG and defend the OP together.
Too easy? I dunno.....I think most attackers would be pleased to see extra bodies, and a bigger fight.
First of all, without starting a massive argument, I have to say that i think what you said about PPUs is complete crap sharper. You said monks are a skill-less class. I dont have a PPU myself, but I have great respect for the PPUs in my clan and the job they do. You ever tried keeping 5 half dead spies alive in an OP, while also constantly rebuffing yourself so you dont die? Trust me. PPU is easily the hardest class to play well.
Anyway back on topic. IMO I agree that it is unrealistic to ask KK to fix netcode/bugs/engine. It just isn't gonna happen. I think even somthing as simple as new outfits (as someone suggested) or new PA's, would keep me happy. I think a good idea would be this; if you have a 5 slot rare weapon with all artifact stats, you can pay 5million or somthing like that, and rename the weapon, and also rewrite the 'story' behind it (you know like the backstory thing you get with most rares). I think this would be interesting and make 5 slots more special. You could also make it that, for an extra 5-10million you can change the colour of the 'swirly' (5 slotters only). So we could see Cursed Souls with red swirlys and slashers with green swirlys. Im not an expert on the game engine, but I cant see this as a major technical feat to implement. Anyway thats my suggestion. Im sure somthing like this has been suggested before, but I just wanted to post in case it hasnt been brought up.

I was thinking that five slot weapons could also be made placeable in your appt so you could show it off. It would come with a target box which would say the writing that you designate it when you place it. Not sure if you place it and then pick it up again and use it though. Would involve two different types of items turning into each other.
Would be sweet making a 5 slot Zsusun and then placing it on your wall or on a shelf etc. Would bring a new dimension to customising your appartment.
I like it, would make things somewhat more interesting and it would actually present an option that would make me consider actually going out and making some cash, the one game I played in which something like this was implemented was Diablo II in the crafted items. It was always quite cool to have your own personalized equipment.Quote:

I'd like the mech model turned into a usable vehicle even if its kinda old-skool graphics. Maybe a touch-up of the skin?

LoL thanks took three cups of coffee for that, also though of more stuff to add to it later like my drugs idea, I'd like to tag onto it Cmasters thread about apus I think that'd make apus amazing tbh monks would be like a support class LORD knows NC needs one other than ppu.Quote:

These arent my ideas but I would love to see a Woc melee weapon, perhaps a chainsaw or something, aswell as some Woc items for monks, even though it might be a little difficult to think of some usefull things that fit the WoC theme. Another thing i've seen around the forums is the idea of a hacknet rezz, maybee make it a rare item only? Or maybee a hacknet catharsis. One more thing, I would like to see some more of stupid little quests like the tikitiki quest.
As a newbie I think the last part of the tutorial mission should be explained more. I thought I had accumulated all this stuff and only the 2 cyborgs were remaining in a room. I couldn't hurt them that badly with my weapons and eventually I went in and BAM! what happened!?
I was shocked that I lost all this stuff! Not even a decent weapon! Then the Main area is kind of barren. Where is the city? how do I get to the city? Where is the sewer this hint is talking about? I'm totally lost.
I found a cave though, and almost died in that cave trying to get through the hordes of creatures congregating at the entrance.
This game needs to be a little more friendly to newbies. I saw a girl wandering out in the wastelands haphazardly last night. I think she was lost like I was.
wait are you still stuck in MC5? Go to the Gene replicator there is a sign leading to it
Yeah I'm still stuck there. The genrep isn't working for me. Keeps telling me I can't go to my apt, which is the only location I have in the list. It might be because I'm in the middle of the kill the AWOL robots quest to recover the prototype processors.
I finally got enough processors last night. I haven't checked if this will allow me to finish and use the reps.
you have to select the appartment from the list and then click teleport
I can't just use the 150 credit option? The teleport was 1000 credits...
the 150 credit option is used to activate a genrep, meaning you can teleport TO it in the future. This is disabled in the starter area though since you can't go back there anymore.
As I am currently unable to contribute a constructive post I will say this: You're a chainsaw!Quote:

Though in the process of doing the robot quest I have already doubled my starter cash.
That reminds me when i joined 2+ years ago...Quote:

Im glad i stayed tho.
Its huge fun once you get the hang of it.
*idea*
When you enter hack you should have to wait the entire duration of the hack to exit the hack OR you have to place all the dots before u can exit. :o
*edit* at least for outposts.
mission:
i think this mission would be like a mini epic of some sort, by that i mean like 3 parts mission.
first one could be somthing like "travel to that XX zone and investigate for clues" since it was the caravans last know position. then when you arrive to the zone and see all their stuff laying around, vhc destroyed like a battlezone whitout any bodys. u find a calender/travellog in one of the trucks wich say they were getting attacked by normal scientists and monks but whit mutated strength and poweerfulness(spelling?) the end of it was "the sealed lab in......." so u have to figure out about were the lab is and how to get it, could be like 140 hack to get inside? or a hidden passway somewere. get back to neocron mission npc and turn in the found log and recieve a small ammouth of xp/money for the job.
second one is to go to the hidden sealed lab to find out if anyone or anything is down there. then kill for example kill 30 of those mobs(i dont know 120/120?) all together, 10 of each kind to get bloodsample of them. hand the bloodsamples back to the mission npc in neocron city for analyze then its mission complete part 2. then they discovered a cure for this bacteria so you dont get infected while u go down there to kill them.
third one is to go back down again and kill the leader (the banned biotech scientist) and not only that(like all other mission) you should also have to download 2 sample from his computers wich require hacking, lets say 100 hacking to be able to "hack" the computer to be able to download to a tl90 or 100 blueprint. otherwise it would be like every else mission in nc, do that and that and kill the boss end of story. here u also require hacking to be able to finish the mission. when u turn the blueprints in and recieve it u ask for some difrent parts instead of money and just turn in one
defense:
it should be 3 diffrent soldiers/mobs in there to fit in whit the mission. since it had traveled both monks, spies, tanks it should also be mutated tanks/spies/monks that could drop this chip. and not a droprate like 1 imp in every 50 mobs like wocdisks. that droprate is ridiculus! should be atleast 1 of these imps in like 1500 mobs? this implant shouldnt be somthing all have, or need like a wocdisk. only the best players/team is able to get and use. not so all new players start a droner and farm it for money.
background:
the best scientists from all around the world, mb, tg canyon, regant lab, neocron and so on all found a new material in underground (lets say a wasteland sector not to near a gr). they all decided to build up a lab there since it was a to strong material to break down into pieces and analyze at a lab, they builded a underground lets say a little familliar to the ceres things. after a while they discovered that this material was not just harder than diamond itself, it contained a bacteria(spelling?) they never encountered before. and of course as the scientists they are, they they called all their biologics to come and take a look. after some tests they noticed that it wasnt just 1 bacteria anymore, it had reproduces into a massive ammount. this bacteria contained a very high concentration of binatrid(well lets say a very toxic that called forward a mutation at the person/animal that came into contact whit it) so since all the scientists down in the lab had be exposed to this new bacteria the ncpd and storm troopers decided to shut the lab down and seal it so noone could get out of the lab. they thought the problem was solved and they have died, but they thought wrong. all was fine until a crazy and banned scientist decided to go and look for this lab for revenge against the city cuz of the ban from work. oh yes he found it and also found a way to get inside. he started to use the bacteria for evil couse and soon he had been able to revive the lifeless and infected bodys. but they was very passive, and since he was a biotech brainimplant developer he finally found out a cvertain implant that could raise they combat combabilities, as all other implant from biotech it also had some bad sideeffects. and since it gave very much to combat it used up to much of the brain capacity and the soldiers became very weak. but since it was a unlimited ammouth of binatrid down in the lab he massproduced both implant and troops by kidnapping caravans and traveling scientists all over the wasteland he got both spies(scientists) tanks(citymercs?) and monks(crahn). ncpd copbots cought attention to it and it became a mission to find out about the missing peoples in the wastelands.
reward:
i think this mission could be both merc, anti and pro city since it doesnt really have somthing to do whit any of them, it would also be a chance to bring back somthing like a kami chip since the doctor/scientist experimented whit this kind of technology and in return u would get 1 chip. to prevent it from being exploited or dronefarmed it would be a 1 time only mission like the ncpd or ff one. not the regant one since u can do it many times. then the kami chip, or more like wannabe kamichip since it shouldnt be as "extreme" like the old kami but somthing like it. it shouldnt give all the same to all classes, like aggresive +30 -40 hlt and for tank +30hc -40hlt and so on, all should have diffrent, for example monks aggresive+30 and since monks use their speed most it should be nerfed like -40 agl. as for example tanks use their wep lore, +30 hc -25weplore and so on. just a thought
iam tired, dont complain about wrong spelling it was just a thought i got.... :rolleyes:
id like to see something done about the runtime error and also fix the net code :)
I didn't read this, but it's a really big, well-formatted post, so I agree.Quote:

Thinking this was a newbie mission I figured if anything I'll meet weak resistance. Boy was I wrong. Those steps led up to the outzone and a bunch of dragons promptly shot my butt down. I attempted to get pass them over and over and it wasn't helping, dying like the 5th time I finally asked around in the help channel and this great guy decided to help me out.
He led me from my apartment through the different zones to the contruction area, through a maze of cooridors and tunnels that could befuddle the mind. How is a newbie supposed to navigate through all of that and find where he is going?
Anyway, he brought his buddy along cause apparently he was not too well liked in the city. On the way he wiped out a few guards here and there. Just amazing the copbots couldn't even touch him.
Anyway it was great how he helped out and I found and completed my mission thanks to him.
I just hope they fix this nav problem so the next newbie doesn't suffer the way I did.
