Deffinetly, thing is since alot of the event team are volunteers there is probably a large factor of no one to run the events/ingame storyline features most of the time plus i think Heretic is only part time with KK which is another limiting factor.

When evo 2.1 saw Next's and City Merc's aligencies change i thought we'd have almost total Neocron 1 style faction relation chaos by now :/

The fact we remain in the dark alot of the time on what KK actually does is weird as although i dont know how the industry works and such but c'mon somone must be doing something and i dont get how all resources have been drawn from the content package we were supposed to get as apparantly SnowCrash, the lead content guy is heavily involved with the balance, i understand he would have a say in how things go but that means he cant write new scripts/fix other ones? :crazy: Plus its been said many time from both KK and us that Artists dont code, new melee models, ammo models/images.... argh, lol

:banghead:

In reference to the new "wow look balancing forum"...all I'm going to say is THEME WEEKS.


'nuff said ;)

Exactly, they pulled this kind of shit back ine arly DoY retail. They opened up theme weeks to get input from players and do balancing then...it died.

Then the Asia retail died because they figured they wouldn't stand a chance in the Asian game market let alone the European market. Again months spent training staff and using servers only to be wasted.

Balance wise it's going to take alot of coding. Considering KK have very very very very limited coders and considering the rate KK bring out patches and updates ( 6 months for evo just for a few shitty model upgrades and two dungeons, 1 of them where mobs do fuck all damage) I think we can safley say... "Oh-shit"

I really, really didnt understand the logic in bothering to get into the Asian market and we saw the flaws to it almost instantly bye bye Neocron Asia, KK change direction so many times its unbelieveable (<-- That has to be a spelling error) they could possibly get somewhere if they stayed on one track for longer than the seemingly short attention span the company seems to have lets them.

The News/Q&A thread seems to have died too, fair enough it is/was the easter break but wouldnt that be a great excuse to hassle a couple employees for all of 30 minutes for a couple responses while they aint busy.

Marketing campaign is bollocks. No-more elves on it's own, fine. Not going to do any more with it though?

So far I've seen a few ads with the regant guy. Thats all.

Also what fucks me off so much is remember that ad on the neocron website "expect something different"...yada yada genotoxics, guns pointing etc etc. Anyway, we all got ready for something big to happen. Finally Nc might change for the better.

It was for an arcade game.

WTF

They got their coders and made them create an arcade game. They could of added content, worked on the engine, bug fixes or something a little more focused on the actual Nc game.

No. A fucking arcade game, which sells neocron short, and above else I didn't see populations rise because of it. :evil:
