Tech Haven Network

hey guys, i need to say honestly.
im losing interest in this game again,for many reasons.
shitty com,best freind got banned,lack of support(gm wise).zerging and other reasons.
sumone give me an idea to spice this game up,cause i don't really wanna start over again when I decide (2 months after i would quit) to come back.

SUMONE HELP MEH!

sell ur soul

Same feeling here.
End of this month my acts run out and i'm seriously thinking about spending my time in BF2 or AA untill kk finaly implements their ballancing patches on a testserver or so.

But the more i see from the devteam and KK themselves, the more i'm convinced they will fail.

It's a shame, because the game has an amazing concept.

More players would be goody...

AA wots that?

I'd guess America's Army.

Free FPS online shooter game, pretty decent, but doesn't beat BF2 imo

Played, got Bored, Very bored, didnt like it tbh . Wasnt bad i suppose, but 2 many cheaters.... speaking of that, i only played for 4 hours, i had 87 Honor , (*Whistles*)

I watched my best friends husband and his bro play bf2 once. It was pretty damn cool.

THey need an Neocron clone out there in the MMORPG world, to add some excitment out there. Neocron is old, and falling apart like an old car.

I think its time to trade in the junker for a brand new one.

If KK does now improve soon, they will be bankrupt, then forclose.

Im not sure what % of population they need to break even, but im sure they are under their mark.

many factors are killing the game : New MMORPGS: wow , etc / Lack of GM's and an system that plays favorites ( bad business will always piss people off )/ Payment is almost impossable ( WTF IS THAT ALL ABOUT 0o damm click2pay ) / BUgs, bugs and FRE's ( must i say more ?)/ Lame roll backs ( why? do they want to lose customers? ) Low population ( well you can always kill your allies! and finding a poker is like tring to find the winning lotto ticket)/

Well thats all That I can think of off hand!

Such a shame, I have one question: how could a business with such a great Idea mess up so much!? Its like they have monkeys in the managment Dept.!

Thing is i think there are alot more people in Neocron than the server populations let on, its probably the case that the 200 or so people we see online are a completely different 200 people within a couple of hours.

Plus there are people who play rarely but are still subbed and some users dont play but pay still waiting for development.

Ah yes... I'm one of those old fools who think neocron will turn into something better one day...

Even tho it's the same after Beta 4

Well, you can't deny the pops have been dropping at an allarming rate since the fabulous evo 2.1 patch.

And yes, there's probably a bunch of people who pay, but hardly ever log in.

The thing is their coding is so ancient that they need a LOT of machines to run a single server, their devteam and other expenses are there, but they get nowhere near the return as other games.

I'm sure that everyone who works in a rather large business and sees how budgets etc work will be able to predict the near future of neocron.......
It's not a bright one.

If i reactivate my acts at the end of the month it sure as hell won't be for 6 months because i don't want to end up with a few months lost because they just shut down.

They got evo 2.2 to get populations up for a bit and then balancing work.


But if KK's track record is anything to go by, well, I think it will bring a few peeps back and then they will leave again.


Nearly every apect of neocron is bugged, faulty models, floating trees, net code, run time errors and etc.

Poorly implemented things such as hacknet don't help as well.

And DoY is a fucking let down. We wait months (well a year) for a city that is comprised mostly of abandoned sectors. Whole sectors filled with nothing! WTF

We have a Red v.s Blue faction system and plot progresses at snail pace. Our events are comprised of spawning lots of mobs and GM's buggering off while the players get a brief mention in the neocronicle. The only events that are good are the ones that players make themselves. Cheneo is proud that she herself has devised a story involving swarms of spiders That sure has alot of political intrigue and drama

So KK is going to get raped.

Harshly as it has been by critics who spew bad review after review. Neocron is an ex-girlfriend you still keep in contact with because ya think she'll put out something good.

Nice analogy and one i agree with, im still sitting here thinking - "they might of got it right this time, right guys?". I'm quielty confident that Dirus knows what he's doing for the balance even though he's not a PvPer these days as it seems although he's only part time and only been on the KK pay roll for a short-ish time in comparison to others he knows more about it than the rest of KK do, especially in terms of what is just out right stupid/pointless.

His current attitude of eliminating the years of bandaids leading to the current miss-match coding which obscurly effects something completley different when any thing is changed i feel is a rather nice change from the usual KK approach of...more bandaids. If only somone had thought "Hmmm, if i fix this properly now or alter this part of the system to handle and incorporate this new addition/change in operation it'll be much easier further down the road!" Yes it would have taken longer but atleast Neocron's very, very, very long reputation of not working would be a bit shorter and they'd have alot less to do now.

Although i may just be fooling myself again, thinking - ah they've finally gotten the message and are attempting to truly put the game right - only to be disapointed after the glow of a potential almost-retail standard game leaves me a couple weeks after "the saviour patch".

Argh, if Neocron does fall on its arse in the near future it will sadden me quite alot to see it go as i've met loads of new and interesting people in the game and gained a fair few firends from it even from Neocron 1 who im still in contact with plus the waste of potential is just immence.

If KK sold the game as is to another company (although who would but ) with a fuck ton of money i just dont think it would be the same, heh.

Blargh.....

So, KK hired a story guy months back and story has progressed...nil pretty much.

It will take months for the balancing to be sorted and items. In that time more people will leave and when the balance does come out how do we know it will actually balance?

The fact that the test servers ae still not up running yet is a clear sign. The fact that neptune is around is also a sign that KK are not using their resources well
