    Hmm ... perhaps because NC always was a quite bad PVE-Game and the Com is very tiny.

    There used to be three servers running.

    But you are right, today it is a different story.

    Sophie & Kane I completely agree! I hope the NST quickly quickly quickly looks at this...

    For me the solution is quite simple.

    Allow an LE runner to join a clan, but limit where the LE chip works, I.E warzones, end game leveling area's, MC5 etc.

    That way there is an element of risk vs reward, but it keeps places like MB, outzone sectors, cellars safe from gankers.

    And it allows clanned LE runners to take part in high level area's with their clan mates, with the support and resources of the clan at their disposal.

    In NC1 we just used to shout up when we got pked and the community dealt with it. Maybe the community went a little soft or selfish in this new version?

    Some of you guys should get together and patrol the sewers to keep the noobs safe.

    Changing the mechanics of the LE just because you got ganked makes me think the problem is with the victim, not the mechanic.

    Its a pvp game, that means pvp at all levels not just capped players in duels. Just like in life there are assholes everywhere in nc.


    If you cant look after your noobs then your clan has failed tbh. There is no issue with the LE. Why cant the noobs just "join" your clan on TS and chat to one another and get to know each other and take part in your activities without wearing your tag? What purpose or physical benefit is there to joining your clan? do you let them in the clan appt for example?

    I fail to see why the LE mechanic should be changed just because you want to recruit people who dont like to be killed at low level? If players leave the game when they have been pked does the game want/need them anyway? This game is harsh on its players in one respect but thats the nature of the game - if players are gonna quit after getting killed once then they arent the kind of people the community wants and needs. I dont want this to sound unfairly harsh but this game (played without an LE in) is a cold cyberpunk world. It is not pink and fluffy. The thrill of getting the kill for one person ALWAYS has the consequence of being killed for someone else.

    To remove the LE means that you "consent", for lack of a better way of putting it, to getting GR camped, having your corpse sexed and potentially losing weapons/items/boots in a quick belt at WHATEVER level you choose to remove it at. That is the game.


    Please don't change it just because some noobs got killed.

    Seriously man, no doubt. Neocron is a harsh universe. Should be this way. Carebears are funny
