lowered damage of both ak's by 20%.......i thought those were supposed to be 35% and 25% respectively
no changes to p2 or pepperpark what so ever....umm what?

but i want my soullight to be as high as possible because of obvious reasons.
before the patch i could just go along with my day. now i have to do missions because i defended myself and i want my soullight to be 100.
i dont care about my soullight personally as long as its 0+ but i dont like the hole bad boy thingy that gets repeated so often.
after all people (selfkill) rezz with dual logged ppu to avoid all kinds of consequences. compared to this the soullight problematic just seems like such a non-problem. i also would guess killing lvl2 chars without LE by a genrep will sadly become a common practice now by many players to gain soullight.. but maybe im just missing something here :)
else it sounds like a real solid patch. thanks for the work!!
that changes are called at the Testserver patch. But Alduin says we have to see next days....ohyeeee, rp Story incoming :)Quote:

Except I'm +15 SL and I only opfight. This is a giant step out of theme. The way the SL change is if you dig a hole you can't dig yourself out. If you defend yourself you're punished.Quote:

This is unacceptable in any game, and the LEAST acceptable in a cyberpunk game. Cyberpunk is all about living on the edge of life and death in the city. The city is supposed to be MORE dangerous than the wastes.
Srsly just remove GRs or only allow people to gr one way from apartments. Help encourage atmosphere and danger.
Stop fostering carebearism. We have our god damn LEs out for a reason. If you don't like it keep the LE in.
This is nothing of the sort. It's more like an anti-asshole patch.Quote:

You can't just kill a bunch of people and laugh your way back to your appy where you idle SL back while you sleep.
Accidental SL loss could be a problem but you don't go really red SL on accident. The disabling of automatic regen of SL is harsh but necessary, I'll wait and see how they're going to change the mission system regarding SL which should be coming soon.
I had to lol at this. What is the reason you have your LE out? Is it so you can kill everyone and anyone regardless of faction without consequence? I suggest you take your own adive, if you dont like the new SL changes, keep your LE in ;)Quote:

Ah yes, the supposed rampant ally killing that doesn't happen.
Again, I'm +15 an only opfight or really kill reds.
Again, completely out of theme. The wastes are a refuge from the city and all its murderous animals ready to kill you for your shoes. Yes, these people are in factions, but that's secondary.
These aren't real consequences. these are over the top, retributive punishments, and you'll never be able to convince an educated person otherwise.
There is no give and take, no balance, no fostering of different gameplay. It's closing doors without opening new ones. its a "do this and you pretty much won't be playing neocron" patch in which they are effectively using mechanics in an attempt to ostracize peopl/parts of the community. It's transparent, immature, and pathetic. It will only hurt this game and community.
