its a content patch... not a balancing patch! ;)
AFter this long (5 months and counting) it should damn well be an everything patch.Quote:

-Melee sucks
-APUs (afaik) as said to be in the same wagon
-Rapid fire weapons suck (judge anyone?)
-Starter drones are terrible
-Hacknet i think got worse, if that was possible
I thought new balancing would be easy with the new system them implemented. These should be just simple readjustments but yet we havent heard anything in 5 months. Sure this patch may bring some ppl back, but if they havent even fixed the balancing, which they were so proud to say they have fixed for 2.2, they're just going to leave once they realize pvp consists of only a few different types of characters.
Haha, everso agree :angel:Quote:

As this isn't a direct bug report, it is best moved to a more neutral location. :)

FIX THE FOOKIN MELEE! >.< I want my tank to be viable again!
It seems like this patch is going to have a big effect on the community. I hope KK is really taking a lot into account. If they mess up i fear it will have a terrible impact on the player count =\
they didnt say the patch would be finished mid november .. they said the work on this patch would be discontinued until then (at least concerning the parts where coders are needed) due to the BP milestone priority.
...since the orig. post was somehow deleted in the meanwhile and meh brain is growing old n slow, I wont assure for correctness of the above :)
They've got till my subs expire to get the patch or I'm pretty much done. I activated to get my accounts back up to scratch and now that's done I'm bored again already.
There's so little PvP atm and not having much interest in joining the clans OP fighting until after the new patch nothing much for me to do, I just hope they get this right....
I agree.Quote:

Don't get me wrong, the only reason i'm not back yet is because i'm broke atm... :mad:
I have noticed one thread recently that is no longer available. If it's missing, check the THN Neocron Game news, usually the THN quotes the original post for reference. The post you may be thinking about is this one http://www.techhaven.org/neocron/new...h-delayed.htmlQuote:

However as an harden FA player, getting TH back will be something I hope I can look forward to.
A small part of me wishes this was the "F6 patch" that we have been waiting for, but in all honesty unless I see it actually there in the patch notes I am going to be open-minded on the whole affair.
When's this patch due?
I've not been following it quite as much as I usually do, and appear to have missed the announcement. Either way, I know it was May when it was originally announced. 6 months is a bloody long time!
From what I have just read, it's due in November! I was going to reactivate on friday, but real life dictated otherwise. Bahh, I miss teh cronnage! I may end up waiting for this patch, so that I dont waste more of my time speccing a character only for it to change all over again.
Now that is the question ;)Quote:

In course of the development process of our new MMOG “Black Prophecy” we have to reach an important milestone and therefore all coding resources have had to be reallocated. Due to this increased need for resources on “Black Prophecy” the development time for the Neocron content package unfortunately has to be extended and the current estimate for the release of the content package is now the beginning of November, 2007.
We understand that you are eager to see Neocron’s development proceed faster but under the current circumstances it is not possible to speed up this process any more. In the meantime our Gamemaster team will of course continue the Neocron storyline with several exciting events and articles in the Neocron webzines and we will also introduce a new stunning storyline package in the next weeks."
That was the current estimate back then but then who knows how it has progressed, we live in hope :angel:
So thats about january :lol:
Prove me wrong KK! :p
Ye of little faith!
The patch(I dont even know which one this is, BD in NC? I hope so ;))will,
A)Do nothing spiffy
B)Do cool things but change the ways people are used to doing stuff, then it would be a 'omg you nerfed me' or a 'omg I cant make creditz' or 'why cant my resser stay in one play for 36hours making BPs anymore?' kinda patch.
B would be cooler but people will still whine.
People will whine no matter what ;)Quote:

I know that in the past, as a company, sticking to dates is not something that you have excelled in! However, it would be very polite, as it is the beginning of November, to at least inform the community of the reality of the quoted timescale!
Bump!Quote:

this translates to: "As already mentioned, you will get all important informations as soon as they are available.".Quote:

i would be impressed if its released before the new year.
Was going to wait until the next one comes out, and then write an article for the THN. May still do, but not certain.

This chart shows how many NC2 patches per month, starting with 105 and ending with 165. The definition of a patch is an individual patch file - so just what constitutes a patch is decided by KK. Dates are based off the THN's record of patch notes
Some important dates:
05 November 2004 - First Drone Theme Week patch. (lasted for how many months?)
28 April 2005 - Patch 131 Activated and tweaked the content added with the previous month's patch. Introduced Mr Jones, the high level faction runs and much more - changed gameplay more than Evo 2.1
08 September 2005 - Pandore becomes Neptune
01 December 2005 - Evolution 2.1
12 March 2007 - Evolution 2.2
?? November 2007 - Faction Rearrangement Patch?
this picture makes me sad :(
I'd not actually realised that there wasn't an update for the whole of 2006, which is pretty odd, especially as the Death Circuit didn't start until September 2006. However Kudos is certainly due to the Ceres Team past and present as the last section of the storyline has been pretty active for that full year what with Reza, Regant, HIOB and Hagen kicking the bucket. Although its a shame that such heritage characters are gone it will be interesting to see just how the new 'On the street, in the picture' alliance leaders can spice things up in 'The Chosen One'.
When the new patch roles out i might even login to come and take a look around a much safer*, much better, much more FA TechHaven! ;) I hope to see allot more action in the streets of Neocron again too, if the anti city can again wander around more freely with more in street combat it'll certainly make things more interesting.
I just hope regardless of how things are done people will make the most of it to drive pops even if it's not exactly how they imagined.
Long live Neocron :) I've been here almost 5 years and i dont intend to go anywhere soon :p
* by that i mean it'll be home again, hopefully not a safe zone as TH raids were awesome :) I'm no carebear ;)
Wow, really hits you on how much we don't get that graph does :p
But anyways, I want meh patch =(
