View Full Version : Road To Neocron Testserver Evolution 2.2 – Info #6 Final
We are rapidly approaching the public test server phase – we will provide you with the necessary information in this thread. All information will be published in the first post here – therefore you should always check on page 1 first...
Poll: Choose your PvP Zone!
We would like to make 4-6 zones available as pure PvP zones during the test server phase – if you enter one of these zones, you should be aware of what is going on there. This will also eliminate the need to ask nearby players if you’re allowed to „frag“ them – you’ll be able to let your feelings roam freely there :D .
Post your suggestions or discuss already posted suggestions – we will present the results when the server opens.
It would be possible to introduce other zones in a similar fashion – for example for PvE or teamplay, if you want that. We’re also looking for suggestions in that regard.
Info #1: Forum Usage during the test server phase - 2006/12/03
We will continue to follow the forums during the test server phase to evaluate and question your impressions and test results. To that effect, we will create special threads that will be categorized by thematic (i.e. Rifle Combat - Pro and Contra) - this should allow us to quickly access the important information. Therefore we would ask you to avoid off-topic posts, to write down your impressions in an objective and precise manner and to be respectful towards other player's comments.
We will always present the most current information (general information, status updates, etc.) in the first post of each thread (i.e. Reported Bugs). So you should always check these first to see if another player hasn't already posted the same information.
Info #2: "The Neocronstruct" – Neutral Shopping Mall
As we already announced several times, we don’t want to waste your time with long quests – you should be able to test all items available to your class in Neocron. Therefore we have created a shopping mall where the NPCs will provide you with "the most necessary". Furthermore, the trader settings have been changed: all items you can buy there are of "Artifact" quality.
There are entrances and exits for all faction groups – you can use the "Park & Ride System" in our mall:
Neocron: Plaza Sec-1
Dome Of York: DoY City Center -06-
Neutral Factions: Military Base Sec-1
Info #3: Character Transfer
Unfortunately we are currently unable to provide a comfortable way to transfer your characters from the servers Mars, Mercury and Terra. Therefore you’ll have to send a transfer request to one of the following e-mail addresses:
German: account@neocron.de
International: account@neocron.com
Please observe the following guidelines:
Subject: Evo 2.2 Character Transfer
Contents:
- Account name
- Server name
- Character name
Rules:
Because of the large amount of workload this will create, we’re asking you to only send one transfer request per account, for now. As the old characters still exist from Neptune, please limit your requests to a maximum of two characters. If you already have Neptune characters, we’d appreciate it if you could wait a couple of days with your transfer requests.
We will do our best to process your requests as quickly as possible. However, there may be delays so please have some patience. To make this go as quickly as possible for everyone, we have installed the guidelines above – please observe these guidelines. You can send your transfer requests from now on.
Creating new high level character:
We're fulfilling one of your requests: If you would like to test a class that you not have a char of on your account, you can simply create a new character. Our game masters have level-increasing scripts for all classes - with help of the LoM pills you can then release the skill points and skill your runner as you like. So create the class you want, grab a GM, get LoM pills and you're set!
Info #4: Preparation of the test server client
The current Neocron 2.1 retail version with patch level 157 will serve as base version for the test server client. All you have to do is create a complete copy of your client folder to play on the test server. The retail version will remain unchanged, so you can also play on the retail servers at any time.
After copying the client, you have to replace the file "Updater.ini" with this version (http://ng.neocron.com/fileadmin/nc21_content_images/misc/updater.ini) (please right-click and "Save As") – or you can manually change the following setting (the file "Updater.ini" is located in the "ini" folder within the Neocron folder):
PORT=8040
GAMESERVERIP=62.140.29.50
GAMESERVERPORT=7100
HOMEURL=http://ng.neocron.com/fileadmin/nc_launcher/index.html
ISRETAILVERSION=0
The localport settings can be changed back to what you normally use through the NeocronLauncher.exe.
If you want to use a newly installed Neocron version as test server client, you have to patch it up to patch level 157 using the retail patcher first – only then can you perform the changes detailed above.
In case you have changed your password since December 1, 2006, this only applies to the retail server – on the test server you will have to continue using the old password.
Info #5: PvP and PvE Zones
We asked you what zones you prefer for PvP or PvE. We took note of your suggestions and are now presenting the official selection.
PvP Zones:
1. Pepper Sec-3
2. Abandoned Sector -05-
3. Tech Haven Sec-1
4. B 08 - Grassland (Jeriko Fortress)
5. J 04 - Battle Dome
6. The Neocronstruct – PvP Duel (1 vs. 1)
PvE Zones:
1. F 13 - Canyons
2. J 01 - MB Sector
3. Dangerous Canyon Caves
4. Red Point Storage
These zones are our suggestions – not a fixed rule. You can obviously test anywhere – however the standard rules will apply in other zones: PvP may only take place if both parties agree to it and they also both may choose to abort combat at any time. Rule infractions will be punished strictly.
Info #6: The wait has an end...
What do we have in our boot today? Right! The launch of the public test server phase for Neocron Evolution 2.2. Starting tonight at 6PM CET „Quan“ will be accessible by all players with an active account. Players that only have a trial account can unfortunately not participate in the next evolution stage (the same applies to inactive accounts).
We wish a lot of fun testing to our active players - See ya online!
J-01
Easy GOGO/GR access
Plaza 2
Test Pro city Gaurds, with PVP
PP3
Always a nice indoor No gaurd PVP spot
FA Sector
Test Anti-City Gaurds, with PVP
F-12
Nice GR near... and ASG
Canyon Facility
Always a nice spot
Strict PVP Zones
Jeriko Fortress - Classic OP really, close to Neocron, has always been "the test server OP" from NC 1 ;) also it seems to favour offence rather than defence although it's a fortress.
Soliko Lab - Heavily defensive OP, those who own it have the advantage heavily.
Cycrow Lab - Again a classic OP and a key outpost on all servers, it seems to be the most contended and tends to be reasonably equal in terms of offence and defence.
Dome of York Sector 3 - this is possibly (in my experience) the most active zone in the Dome on each server.
Plaza Sector 1 or 2 - People love to fight here and currently can't, it's a typical city zone.
Military Base Sector 3 - Most can get here, its a big zone, its never used, gives the Mercs some PvP 'turf'.
TG Canyon - It just should be a free for all as its pretty central, all guards should be removed to allow for such PvP.
Like TG Canyon all 'PvP' zones should have all guards removed if they have them to allow for true PvP.
Strict PvE Zones
Battle Dome - Key warbot zone, has a GR, allows people to see how Warbots are, good leveling zone for those who want to level properly to test everything.
Grant Mine - Excellent fire mob zone, again allows people to test the specific high end mobs and level.
At least one of each cave type - allow people to level in peace if they choose to, still allows for 'testing' (;)) cave combat.
Duel Zones
Zones where people should go to get duels, no other PvP except duels.
Military Base 1 - Down near the barracks entrances.
Pepper Park Sector 3 - Outside the pussy club/secret BD
Dome of York Sector 1 - At the bottom of the grav lifts, decent open space.
Tech Haven 3 - The Mall/Auction area.
Locations in each populated area, one totally neutral one, again all should have guards removed (if any) to allow for duels to take place.
That's my opinion at least ;)
PvP
Pepper Park 3 (Maybe 1 and 2, but consider access to Neofrag) - since there is always clashes between pro and anti.
Seiger Uplink - It's known to be a FPS killer as well, think that should be considered as part of PvP.
PvE
F-08 - Good open space for Rifle users and a house to hide in - 2 Zones from TH
H-12 - Valley and open space - 1 GR from Tezla.
Otherwise whats been sugguested above is also good.
pepper park 1/2/3 and plaza 1/2/3 =]

jerico fortess - long range weapons and outside vhc combat
cycrow/CRP - nice area to test new glider snipin OP is known to everyone
Tezla - no vhc indoor OP

there should be one major pvp zone in each city and 4 in the wastelands...one at MB, one at TH, one at Cycrow and another one somewhere else.
General Crazy
02-12-06, 02:47
FA Sector is used more because of have a lot of different shops and most DOY players are FA or TG and a lot of sectors are faster to get to by going through the FA sector so having it set as a PvP zone would be a bad idea where as TS or BD sector would be a better choice.
seeing as they're giving away all items in special npcs one of which will be in doy cc i fail to see how this matters =]

Because no one uses the city center where as FA sector would have been better to have added more shops and make it the safe zone is as it would have been the better choice to have as our equivalent to Plaza 1 then the city center which is more of an Isolated Sector, while Plaza one is an access hub in NC like FA sector is in DoY.
Just a few Q's[INDENT]
Will ALL OP Zones be PVP, And wastlands?
What about Implanting etc? Self poking NPC's? And Reppairs
All Armour smugglers in a central place? (TH For inq/Duranium/PA)
Ammo dispensers (NF onese) In all PVP zones
Are we testing NPC (Gaurds) Effect on PVP, aswell
Bullet Points are shiny... we should all use them
PVP Zones

02-12-06, 12:53
Now i guess i'm the only one but anybody thinks about testing "noob" stuff.. J_01 is key for nibs leveling off at the bunker.. making it a pvp zone.. why not make j_02 a pvp zone then nothing there to worry about.
Yes its a pvp game but when 200 people only test pvp and don't test if half the other things ( items / citycom whatever ) is bugged.. lol :D
Dribble Joy
02-12-06, 13:45
I was originally going to suggest J_02, and I'm still not sure about siding with J_01.
The latter is closer to GRs, gogus, traders etc, and we need a PvP area at MB. J_02 is kinda far away though, you'll have to cover a zone and a half to reach the likely points of PvP activity in the centre, either the gogu building or the bunker.
Oh, btw, can MB/CM get a one room 'dojo' NF please.
Hoernerice
02-12-06, 13:49
Oh, btw, can MB/CM get a one room 'dojo' NF please.
whats that Oo
why dont delete some zones for that ... remember its a testserver. i dont think even when 200 ppls go on the server, that we would need 200 zones to test out.
my 2 cents:
pvp: all outside the citys.
pve: as above / but no op-zones
remove all zones except(ie. outzone, indust, abadont,whatever):
- plaza1(safespot+like startingpoint for procity)
- old canyon(safespot+like startingpoint for doy)
- mb(safespot+like startingpoint for mercs)
- TH for traders with cst+recycle bonus like ops
- all kind of mission (sl - testing?) npcs inside th
- remove all mobs from all sectors and place them in groups (ie. NW energymobs(warbots), NE firemobs(grims), SW poison mobs(flappers?), SE force dmg mobs(creepers (yes, they do for+por dmg:p))
Dribble Joy
02-12-06, 15:15
whats that Oo
A neofrag deck......
Though I'd like one in a different style to the current ones. A sparring room/dojo would be more fitting for CM.
J01
J02
Chester
Cycrow
Jeriko
I06
2 pvp zones
2 pve zones
2 pvp/pve zones
Firstly - You dont need to nominate PVE zones =
OP zones are PVP
PVP zones are PVP
all others are PVE
A zone is EITHER PvE or PvP, or a safezone.
-
deleting other zones would proberly be alot of work, and i dont like that idea, cant test the whole thing that way
I dont think we really need doy/nc specific zones, we all know the terrain too well.
So because of this i would propose that the pepper park area be the one for pvp with npcs.
CITY
pp3 - no guards, pvp sector
pp2 - with guards, pvp secor
OUTPOST
Cycrow - it has 2 GRs already, so we can make some kind of real OP war. An ASG could be implemented for the test phase.
DUEL
Temple of Ceres - Fucking fly
pvp
techhaven sec 2
plaza 1,2,3,4

kick the sl system out of the game. make the both citys totaly savezone, so there possible raise the population. also th as savezone.
ah...and kick out the savezone in the mb...its a shame for us cm.

You do realise this is for the test server only? Raising populations doesn't really come into it. It's about finding the best places to test different things, from straight duels to op fights, from normal every-day levelling to woc tunnels, ceres labs, mc5 and guards.
Hoernerice
04-12-06, 18:07
i know, but where could be a better place to test it?????
New information in Dirks entry post. Keep an eye on that! ;)
Eliminate guards froim PP1 and make that a PvP zone for the city along with plaza 2
i dont care about the others, as long as PP1 is a PvP zone it will be sweet cuz it will be just like the old test server :)
New information in Dirks entry post. Keep an eye on that! ;)
WHAT THE HELL is dirks entry post... can't find it... and is the patch on now (im at job, can't see if yes or no)

For you forumites, SnowCrash means the Original Post (OP), or for the non-forum-addicted, the first post in this thread.
As for a patch - there is none yet. The test server isn't up yet. It's due up some time this week (assuming KK make their estimate... but we all knoiw what their track record on doing that is!)
Info #2: "The Neocronstruct" – Neutral Shopping Mall
As we already announced several times, we don’t want to waste your time with long quests – you should be able to test all items available to your class in Neocron. Therefore we have created a shopping mall where the NPCs will provide you with "the most necessary". Furthermore, the trader settings have been changed: all items you can buy there are of "Artifact" quality.
There are entrances and exits for all faction groups – you can use the "Park & Ride System" in our mall:
Neocron: Plaza Sec-1
Dome Of York: DoY City Center -06-
Neutral Factions: Military Base Sec-1
Should we assume that the Shopping Mall will include all Smuggler items(IE; Gamma bones, INQ armor, level 2 implants), Epic items, Rares and Faction items?
And any chance of getting an Auto-Poker NPC in the mall?
are the new weapons being added to the neutral shopping malls as well

05-12-06, 00:05
Err...are you guys gonna wipe all the points when we transfer chars in (so we can reskill) Or give out insta loms that cost none by any chance?
...Id like to test different spy setups easily...
Dribble Joy
05-12-06, 00:30
Hopefully they'll:
Release skill points.
Add insta-loms.
Add the special reverse loms from the last TS that increase skills.
so as I am pretty sure I already havemy answr but just want to double check..the server can go up anytime this week right? (Even though KK and deadlines dont get along at all :rolleyes: )
Dribble Joy
05-12-06, 01:06
Yes indeed.

05-12-06, 01:08
ohhh....I was looking forward to playing today...
Yeah I know at first I thought it was scheduled for today and then I read more carefully and realized it could be put up any time this week and was like"Damn..."
Here's what we need to be able to put the 'Test Server' to it's best use:
Artifact Rares available at the Mall. If not how do we obtain Rares?
Intant effect LOM's with no XP deduction
NPC Poker to TL115
All Items that are 'bought' to be free to purchase
If these things are sorted, we can all test everything effectively and efficiently.

Plus alot of male strippers....
....That will make me happy anyway :D
Me thinks we should have a GR that has every Gr enabl;ed on it or lets you travel to any sector of the map with no fee.
Like i wanna go to F_02 for the fun of it and see the WoC dudes cus i like them i can travel for free, but maybe not make it to every sector in the game just to the city GRs or the map numbers on F9, but anyway i went of on al ittle one there lol im in college and im bored so let me off this one plz :D
i have search for age for the ceres dude... and i got 2 big question
after having read ALL the forum.... WHERE THE HELL is the ceres dude (i have found the lab... got kill many time :P) but i can't find it
even if i read and understant well... is the tank will be usufull one day... last night i ask for any team for MC5 - DoY tunnel - WoC place - Regen and NO ONE NEED A DAMN TANK (plus they where moron who was bitching again each other in the trade channel... where the GM in taht time.....)
also...are we gonna have a bit more GM for helping us... not the first time i see trade chanel becauming shit because one or 2 people bitch each other and no one seem to stop them..... seem that the GM are quite off these time (even when you put a ticket.... about 1 year ago... too me 10-20 min to get help by a GM.... now i can't get in before 1 houres and a HALF at least...)
and i have lvled whit a GM one... that was fun :P
anyway, are we gonna get the patch soon.... im like a kid wating on the 24 december at 12:00 PM to open is gift... can't WAIT TO SEE IT.... and HOPE IT GOOD, since im piss that even whit a max tank, no one wanna team whit me and do something fun :P
oh btw, im thinking like most of you
DoY - MB - Plaza 1 should be no-combat (even the MB near the outside... no more damn camping at the entrance....)
for the combat zone.... well like all OP should be PvP PURE (since we can possibly max the number of person avalable in 1 map too) so we can truly test the serveur !!!
Oh, let the firemob alone, so i can still fight them alone even if i got nothing to do (just my 2 cents :P)
anyway, like most of us ask..... put the patch soon plz, im dieing to try the new evo 2.2.... seem REALY good to my point of view !!!
Boreal
The Ceres Dude, tried the Ceres Temple in F_02?
thanks, finaly going to do something tonight !!!

Eh?
Oh... you mean even if you have 3 accounts, only 2 chars?
is the patch already launch... im at work :( will need to download it before i play
1. is the patch out
2. how big is it ?
3. how is the population on the test serveur
4. what new (i got again 4 horues to wait for your reply)
5. how long it take to donwload it ??
Eh?
Oh... you mean even if you have 3 accounts, only 2 chars?
No, 2 charakter per active account and thats only for now, until the testserver is online. Than you can delete existing neptuncharacters to make slots free for transfer a new charakter. (neptun characters are backuped and will be restored after testservertime).
is the patch already launch...
No.
Info #3: Character Transfer
Transfer or copy? Transfer tend to mean it's moving the character, and since you it's a one way transfer this would mean if we moved our characters onto test server that's them gone when it goes.
ok I see the word
"TRANSFER"
is being used rather then the word
"COPY"
which makes me think if u transfer the char(s), can we still play the original char(s)
on the original server ???? :confused:
Troll ftw :D -
ok, if your editing posts maybe you can answer the Is it a COPY or Tranfers post plz .
Since u obviously edited the 3 posts, im sure u can post a 2 sentence line -
btw, Wont there be reverse lom pills giving XP. So we could just make a 0/2 and cap it uber fast?
Don't start de-railing this thread. Any offtopic posts will be removed.
Triv
Edit: Pantho, please be patient.
Ok one character per account, I can live with that, just which 3 chars to bring over.
Just I think everyone would like to know, will there be some "reverse lom's" to gain skills for new characters? If so character copying won't really be an issue, and the Neocronstruct should help as well.

its a COPY
the char will be playable on his normal server
We are also planning a character transfer for the test server phase. It will allow you to copy your existing Runners to Neptun.

post 1 and 3
its a COPY

right.
Well i will only transfer 3 chars,
I have a Monk over there, so i will submit one char. per acc
I request that my Neptune PE "Pantho", Should be replaced my "Pantho'" from acc XXXX
Because i want to test the importance of WOC Balance, in PE prospect,
Im planning on testing a WoC Pe, WoC Rifle Spy, and a Capped APU -
Once we can transfer more, im going to transfer a PPU/Tank as well.
-
Is there some way to quickly whip up new chars without lvling from scratch?
I think they're adding pills that give levels? I wasn't too sure either.
What state will characters be in when we create new ones?
Sorry if I'm missing the obvious but I'm sure others are wondering too.

One char per account....
Two chars?....
Sorry if I'm being slow....
From a single account :)
Neptune is/was a 2 slot server, for the test server a backup has been made of neptunes db but the original is left on the server, the server has then been extended by 2 slots, meaning you have two free slots and two occupied slots if you already had two characters on neptune.
I imagine if you have no chars on neptune you can transfer 4 characters etc.
atleast that's how i understand it.
Also, a post at 20 past 11 GMT, John Doe, you are really spoiling us :D looks like it's not going to be long now! :)
Hopefully they'll:
Release skill points.
Add insta-loms.
Add the special reverse loms from the last TS that increase skills.
That would also avoid the work of Transfering Characters.

heh...i dont gotta transfer...i already got a blessed hybrid (Lawl at you all) and a nearly capped HCPE on neptune :lol:
I got a nearly capped hc pe on neptune as well...havent touched him in about 6 months tho...as well as nc in general...going to give the test server a try tho...
One char per account....
Two chars?....
Sorry if I'm being slow....
One transfer request per account.
Two characters per account.
Okay, just so I don't screw this up...
Account name: [ edited - in case this was real ]
Server name: Terra
Character name: Jodo Kast
Character name: Krayt
Is that my 2 transfers and 1 transfer request per account? Or is it just one character and the second is from having a character already on Neptune?
It doesn't quite read properly and I'm unsure as to what I'm able to do exactly.
They said that they don't want loads of requests if you already have chars on neptune and that you shouldn't be making a request for transfer of more than 1 char yet. This is to let the people who don't already have a char to play on the test server have priority for transfer so that they can be playing the test server as early as everyone else
OMGWTFBBQ I can't connect to the test server?? I broke my neocron help!

Info #5: PvP and PvE Zones
We asked you what zones you prefer for PvP or PvE. We took note of your suggestions and are now presenting the official selection.
PvP Zones:
1. Pepper Sec-3
2. Abandoned Sector -05-
3. Tech Haven Sec-1
4. B 08 - Grassland (Jeriko Fortress)
5. J 04 - Battle Dome
6. The Neocronstruct – PvP Duel (1 vs. 1)
PvE Zones:
1. F 13 - Canyons
2. J 01 - MB Sector
3. Dangerous Canyon Caves
4. Red Point Storage
These zones are our suggestions – not a fixed rule. You can obviously test anywhere – however the standard rules will apply in other zones: PvP may only take place if both parties agree to it and they also both may choose to abort combat at any time. Rule infractions will be punished strictly.
Got mine copied over, then I just thought I don't have everything I need in my Quickbelt or in my Inventory. So my question, are our GoGo items being transfered too? I hope so, otherwise I'm going to have to request to transfer one of my characters again. :(

Interesting on the standard rules for pvp. Will it be like WoW duels or will it be just up to the players? I think it will be pretty hard with so many pk'ing kami/snipers, pvp whores.
Battle zones for pvp/pve look nice. Even if pvp can go on anywhere.

afaik you buy all stuff you need to test on the testserver.. or else it wouldn't be a test server i guess ? esp when this wole evo 2.2 is about weapons balancing etc.
@ John Doe
the zones look cool! i was the first one to say J_01 should stay a hunting zone instead of pvp because of the all level mobs n stuff.. good to see it is a PvE zone to ^^
in the PVP zones will you get a you enterd a pvp zone msg ? might be good because not everybody reads this topic i think.. and just as a reminder to :)
and omg tech haven sec 1 a pvp zone again.. finally we can defend TH like we used to! go FA!
Sorry maybe i am missing something... but are people actually playing on the test server? Because, i have copied my nc2 folder, and used the new updater.ini but i still cant connect to the test server. The client just connects to the retail server... anyone else having problems?

The test server wasn't up last night, and I very much doubt it's running now, otherwise there would be loads of "OMG SEX Test server up posts" :lol:
Does it say Test Server in the Launcher screen drop down box in the Top right. It may look like the Retail, but the drop down is the big clue.

You have to run the "launcher.exe" in your copied folder too, not the shortcut in start menu or what have you. And yeah, its not up yet.

Info #6: The wait has an end...
What do we have in our boot today? Right! The launch of the public test server phase for Neocron Evolution 2.2. Starting tonight at 6PM CET "Quan" will be accessible by all players with an active account. Players that only have a trial account can unfortunately not participate in the next evolution stage (the same applies to inactive accounts).
We wish a lot of fun testing to our active players - See ya online!

would we be able to copy the patchs in our normal game with the other file and run the test server then remove them later to play on the normal servers without it screwing something up? cause the suggested "make a copy of the game folder" isn't working for me and damned if I remember where the install file is or want to DL it again. :confused:
no cause when the patch is installed before playing it extracts a lot of stuff and it will most likely overwrite 2.1 files.
and just install neocron2 again in a different place, (if you can find the other installs folder) copy the patches over, patch up then copy over your ini folder then edit updater.ini =]

You need a neocron2.1 install patched on level 157.
If you make no copy of your retailclient and use that for the testserver,
you cant use this client anymore for the retailservers. Thats why you have to make a copy of your retailclient (installinstructions you can find in the startingpost from Dirk).
-= Big Cheers to you all for getting the Test Server up and running =-
See you all soon in the Test Server after 6pm tonight all being well :)
yes, and why did you changed the planet names for Quan? What is Quan? Cmaster?
KK have used up all the planets.
Mercury (NC2 - German)
Venus (NC1 French)
Earth aka Terra (NC2 - English)
Mars (NC2 - German)
Jupiter (NC1 - English)
Saturn (NC1 - English)
Uranus (NC1 - German)
Neptune (NC2 - PvP)
Pluto (NC1 - The best! :D )
Sedna Aka Pandore (NC2 French)

Tried to log in, the first 2 times got "Wrong Password", now I just get "Client has newer version than Server".
I'm also getting the "Wrong Password" response for both my accounts. I haven't changed my password since before December 1st 2006 and my login for both accounts is still working for the normal servers.
"Client has newer version than server" - did you edit or completely replace your updater.ini file? It sounds like you might be updating from the test server patches, but still trying to log on to the retail servers. If you edited it, try replacing it completely with the version linked to in the OP.
And can I just say...
I am completely amazed that KK made a deadline they set!

lol i fort id try my account with no password just incase the passwords didnt transfer over when i do that it says my account has expired :p
No, I d/led the updater.ini and pasted it into the copy of my client. I'm using the launcher from the copy also, and it says I'm connecting to the test server (on the launcher).
The bug reports forum just appeared... unofrtunately I can't post to it apparently.

Go find your mail which gave you the PW in the first place, and enter that, in my case at least, copying the install changed the encryption or something, I can login fine now.

Bug Reports please into the Bug Report Forum (http://forum.neocron.com/forumdisplay.php?f=191).
Please make sure to read the summaries about the changes before you submit a bug report. Many things have experienced a major overhaul and so may appear as a bug.
me too, I can't login. wrong password it says. Tried all my passwords I was using... nothing
Me and jini cant get in...FIX THE DAMN PROBLEM
I cant get in either....the test server is up for a while you dont need to be in straight away =/

Me and jini cant get in...FIX THE DAMN PROBLEM
That's a good way to move yourself to the bottom of the list. :rolleyes:

Yeah, mine says wrong password too. Emailed accounts@neocron.com or .de for german :P
After mine stopped working with the "newer client version" bug, i recopied neocron and repatched it and it worked again
My account worked perfectly (fingers crossed it still does :p) from the start, with the password I created only a couple of weeks ago. But arse, after sending my transfer request earlier I totally forgot about my PE until 5mins ago. o_OPlease read all available information before you are asking questions or complain about something.
Quote from the Testserver Launcher Information:
"Info: Neocronstruct Shopping Mall
To provide you quick access to all important game items we have set up a special Shopping Mall zone. In this special zone, several NPCs are offering items at artifact quality. Additionally you can obtain the necessary credits at the NPC "Officer Jenna"...."@The chunk in bold: My bad there, though I have everything relating to IE disabled because of how easily malicious content can get through, inexcusable for not reading it as that may be. From my comment about telling us about it from the start I was particularly making note about the forum, as there's nothing mentioning it here in the English section. It would be seen by a lot of people compared to what is revealed to be after checking the page in my browser, a tiny paragraph in a fairly small font over half way down. You would have thought the same important information would be mentioned on the forum as well right?Slasher is there, but it's down near the bottom with the drones(From my previous post:) That's probably why then... :lol:
I cant log in on 3 of my 4 accnts - says wrong password :mad:

Faid you recently changed your PW. use the one it had a month ago. Dont got it? ask account@neocron.com to help.
My inactive account works (nep char), active gets account expired.
Very strange atm, a PE with 850 health will take some getting used to.

Send an email at abuse@neocron.com with the subject "Testserver Abuse"
Alternativ you can try to get a GM on the Testserver and report it to him.
Carnage, can you unlock expired accounts on the test server please. My account is active on retail but expired on TS... thank you.
Hello, here is my question: I am using a tunnel to be able to play, and thus I pass directly by the client.exe to play the game. Is there a way to modify the IP of the client without passing by the launcher to connect to the test server???
Thx
[Edit] NVM i found a way!
Players that only have a trial account can unfortunately not participate in the next evolution stage (the same applies to inactive accounts).
Mmm, question on this. I'm thinking of reactivating this weekend to try out the test server, but Im wondering whether that quote is referring to inactive at the time of posting. If I reactivate, will I have access to the Test Server, or is it only accounts that were active when the server went up/this post was made that can get in?

Pretty sure it only means anyone on the 10-day trial, with no payments made yet. You should be good if you're reactivating a prior account.
no i dont think he will be as the test server is just snap hots of accounts from 1st of december i think.
So if u re-activate the test server wont have ur details but a GM could clarify this lol
Having one response either way isn't very reassuring (though I appreciate the answers) :( Can a mod confirm this one way or the other? Nid?
I dont want to resub only to find out Ive wasted money as I cant use the Test Server.

I dont want to resub only to find out Ive wasted money as I cant use the Test Server.I resubbed on the 7th just to go on the testserver (primarily because of all the "OMG!" posts :p), but I had to send an email to account@neocron.com to get them to update my info on the testserver login server (I could log in retail fine but not the testserver)
first impressions...
in bad:
1/ the ath / agi malus are annoying as hell
2/ aiming with rifles is really a pain...
3/ stamina system is a pain... you end at walking most of the time. this is the most annoying thing in the game.
4/ Mobs do a lot of damages... too much
5/ Armor system is good, but armors types are not enough interresting... maybe i have missed some armors... btw I think that the belt should protect all the body, and not only the torso.
6/ Spys are really weaks...
7/ several implants have bonuses like + 0 DEX... a joke when it is called, by exemple here, a dexterity booster...
in good:
1/ the new passive spells.
2/ The possibility offered for the PE to resurect
3/ The PA system
4/ the new unfurnished appartments
5/ the remove of the resist boosters for spy and PE
Things I was hoping for:
1/ old relations of NC1... we have kept the bad relationship of NC 2.1 :/...
2/ the removing of the need of using hacknet to take an OP. Give them something else that could help in OP wars without making them too mcuh needed (exemple, possibility to hack the turrets used as a defense in the OP)
just the first impressions... however actually I am not really impressed :(
I've flipped through a few pages of posts but I haven't seen when the retail release of 2.2 is. Do they have a release date yet?
