You still had a slight little design around the huds but the little "bars" that "connected" the HUDs to the screen were gone. Even small edits like that can make for a much better playing experience. As a FPS player for going on 8 years, I live by customization, specifically a minimalistic customaztion; just the info I need with as little screen space taken as possible.Quote:

Again not the players fault. I am American. I realize there is going to be a higher ping time for using a server over seas. A higher ping time is acceptable, synching out at random times is not. Personally this doesn't happen often to me but there are friends of mine who get lag synchs alot and they are on perfectly stable connections with pings under 120. Now if it is a server thing, well that's KK's end of the court to step up and increase server performance with the money we pay them each month.Quote:

And im not bothered at all by it... could it be you it was wrong with, that had just been unable to adjust to things? or is it the rest of the world that simply is so used to games having different looks and are able to adjust to game-huds in a heartbeat.....
Im surprised you havent learned yet....Quote:

minimum requirements are the absolute minimum you need to be able to securely start the game.
It has nothing to do with you being able to play the game, without severe lag and problems
even the recommended requirements are just so you can play the game fairly proper.
how can KK speed up server performance??Quote:

I guess that if your friends from america can play without problems, then its at your place its wrong. with your connection and your computer.
If every american has a problem with this.
Then it is most likely the computers and connections on the way between server and you.
Cuz if it was a server performance problem, then everyone would have problems, no matter where they were.
You do know, that navray and zones, are 2 different things right ?Quote:

you want a NAV-Ray fix, not a zone fix.
zone fix is the world area you are in that will get fixed.
Nav ray fix is where the GPS thingy of the zone is gonna get fixed.

It's all crap though. Truly, if you believe all that conspiracy-theory nonsense you're 100% qualified to appear on Springer's "Morons, and the brainless sheep who follow them".Quote:

darmit ppl.. stop blaming others for your own incompetence.
Sure, i get lags sometimes too whenn i am on NC. and i got a 100Mb/s FD connection..
however: i sometimes also get lag whenn i am connecting to one of my servers only 2meters away from me.
It has nothing to do with the KK's Servers they are just fine.
Whenn i get a lag; i know its time to low-format my computer and reinstall Windows all over. (Saveing NO files locally at all, 100% empty).
after i reinstalled Windows, the correct drivers, my default set of software, and some games NC2 runs 100% perfect on my AMD Duron 800Mhz with only 640Mb of SDRam (o yeah, and i am useing an old IDE HD).
If Neocron can run BELOW its minimum system requirements on my pc without a lag. you must be doing something wrong!!!
Welldone for causing panic :rolleyes:Quote:

I'd like to read a plan file in the patch notes of a Neocron Patch, actions are better than words, especially for those of us that have been with Neocron a long time. ;)
ya can go waay lower even, and still play :) in certain places the game turns into a slideshow tough :P but still doable heheQuote:

i dont think the inhabitants of the middle of our world would like anyone to call em aliens tough, even they have there feelings i can imagine and there's no reason to reject others even if they life in unusual places and have other daily habits then we humans have :)
but anyways
LOL truth hurts doesnt it, im still playing this game after the years of lies and broken promises, but im still here cos i do belive when NC goes world wide then they will have to "sort it" cos people from the US (they love sewing people :p) will have a field-day sewing KK for false advertising ;)Quote:

I don't mind the aliens visting my house, but i do mind them cluttering the place with all their junk.
I mean, that timemachine looks nice, but that antigravitygenerator is just lying there in the corner. I mean, what am i to do with all this shit?
