Dear DJ, don't feel mad about the NC2.2 failure. It is not your fault at all.
Many people are accusing me for the same stuff. It is true that I posted a lot on the brainports and had a lot of ideas but at the end KK did nothing out of it.

For example KKs idea to balance everything on Techlevel.
We said: Good idea, BUT you will nevertheless have to look at each item if it fits its purposes. Did they do it? No they didn't. They even balanced all the implants by techlevel which led to comma values (they had a round function implemented which fucked up the whole design...)

For example KKs idea to let implants take damage when getting hit.
We said: Bullshit idea. What did we find on the testserver? Exactly this feature.

For example KKs idea to implement the nanites which were proposed from angakok.
We said: Do it the way angakok proposed. And what did they do? Implement a totally bad designed feature which had nothing to do with the proposal.

The biggest problem was: The balancing team of KK seemed to never have played this game properly. They never PvPed and maybe never even played. How could they understand what we wanted?

And after all this mess we went testing on the Testserver. Most of the stuff was utterly bullshit. They had some nice features such as the whole new resist/armor setup and some new content but that was it. We reported all the bugs and everything but the whole stuff was totally unfinished. Most of the people testing at the beginning stopped because they realised how bad this will be. Snowcrash once asked me why no one is testing on the Testserver?
I answered: "Because this whole stuff is unfinished and unpolished and you will never be able to fix this in time. And everybody knows this because you are KK."

He was mad at me after that. One week later they released it because they were "forced" to. I was not the only one begging them to delay the release!

We know today that KK had another project running at this time called: Black Prophecy. The Devs sitting at "our" balancing project were people not good enough to work on Black Prophecy I suppose.
