Visual Updates
- New sky textures added for "day clear"
- A first version of a localized HUD
Know issues
- Some alphas are not working anymore (e.g. tree in the wastelands) they apear just black - We're on it
There is still a problem with PSI Modules which needs to get fixed - PSI Modules can't have DoT effects like the other weapons at moment - its just hardcoded stuff.
Regarding the weapon balancing - I think we can start this in the next time, major issues where solved. This changes are getting deployed step by step.
There are now full sets of titan and viper armour; however the means of obtaining them has changed.Quote:

The Paw of Bear has been temporarily boosted to assist in killing mobs. I may buff some other weapons for other classes.
Much of the damage proportions for ammo mods have been significantly altered.
Modded weapons now do a majority (usually 75%) of secondary damage, rather than the current 20-25%.
Much more variety in the duration and proportion of damage that comes from DoTs.
Some variation in the base damage of some weapon types has also been introduced.
For example: Lasers now have an element of fire dmg (because... burny burny) and pulse lasers have some piercing (because... stabby stabby).
Also, please test the paralyser ammo for the Swat Backup. If it works as intended, it should reduce the stamina pool by a small amount.
Note: Due to the way soft-patching and hard-coded effects work, some DoTs are not working as intended. Eg. the 9mm pistols and flamers.
don't know if it is known atm, but the TL16 personal injector applies a DoT instead of heal, that slowly drains health
the x-ray damage of the cs isn't more than the energy damage... nova is as expected.
Shiny things...
Everything is Work in Progress and guranted to change.

GR Textures are placeholders. Black DoT's from screen2 are gone. Viarosso Fascade is one of 5 new window tiles.
You mean the floor tiles? Thought that was just fancy marble :DQuote:

new sky box in viarosa looks really oversaturated?
Probably due to one of the backend changes Z has been making; might have previously been hard-coded to read certain damage types written as positive into a negative.Quote:

Very cool stuff ! Gj on the new textures.
Today I got a friend back on NC, he didn't play for a year but instantly noticed new textures !
Also, this might be off topic, but when are all the patches 199 to 217 expected to hit retail ?
SOON(tm)Quote:

It largely depends on how much we want to take from Vedeena to Titan.Quote:

Waiting for another layer/phase to be completed before releasing means delaying a long needed patch, releasing early means retail is worse.
Maybe it would be a good idea to bring the non-Balance related stuff (e.g. Netcode improvement/NPC / Player health indicators are now showing up the remaining healthpool in percent) in a Patch „soon“ and the Balance Stuff after that?Quote:

By the way, the new Textures and tiles look great!
