    Default State of the Game

    Howdy all. I haven't been able to log in except for maybe 3-4 times since 2.3 hit, and even then it was only for a few minutes each time (rl can be such a drag).

    Just wanted to ask some questions to see how my favorite game is doing:

    1) Is the population still hitting over 100 during peak hours?
    2) Has OP fighting started up again? There hadn't been one in ages when I last logged in.
    3) Is armor type still pretty much everything in combat? As in, if you bring rock, and they bring paper, you insta lose? (Think Poison Flamethrower vs someone with no poison armor and dead in 3 shots)
    4) There was a suggestion that Jack posted a few weeks ago about removing safe zones; did that ever get implemented?
    5) Is there a goddamn Greatsaber in the game yet? Or am I stuck wielding toothpicks when I get the chance to come back?


    Thanks in advance. <3 you all

    Patiently waiting when I can use a Greatsaber in the wastes of Neocron

    1) yes the population is around 90-100 at peak, this is a little lower than usual due to NCC taking around 30-40 players
    2) coudlnt say, from looking at kill lists there do seem to be occasional op fights
    3) armour and resists are extremely important, especially now health bounce has gone - if someone brings a poison flamethrower you are dead, devourer is extremely overpowered right now, no matter how good your resists are
    4) PP1 is still safe as are a few other areas
    5) no, devils grace is the closest you will get, though melee has been worked on a bit recently.

    Soon - I am not sure when, everything else is something we can talk about.

    We still need to push out the new deployment system which has been in work since 2014. We had put this on ice in the meanwhile (it's only running on our internal systems) to free resources for the main Neocron development.

    So let us finish some remaining balancing stuff such like implants and an overhaul of the existing wastelands levelspots. I am pretty sure we are ready for a steam release after these tasks are done.

    Sounds great!

    What are you thinking in terms of marketing the game on Steam? I assume you have to upload your own videos, pics, descriptions, etc. F2P with no cash shop would be a good thing to emphasize since most F2P and B2P games today have obnoxious cash shops (unless you plan on implementing one ). Old school sandbox MMO, no themepark nonsense here. Real time first/third person combat.

    I think it can definitely find an audience with how different it is to current games.

    If you're on it, make it so we see one of each possible mission on page 1. No more minutes of page turning to find that one mission.

    Having a better quest log that shows the mission itself, a count of how many kills remain, and any associated conversations with NPCs would be amaze-balls.
