- We are still working on the Hacknet balancing, which mostly consists of fairly tedious AI script reworks.

Nice patch from what I can see! Will be nice to not have apu's stealthing when your about to kill them any more. Now lets hope that the PEs dont fuck things up again and stealth whore as bad as it was in NC1.

Kuya

is michael for the CM epic back again?

ZoVoS

i guess we will just have to bring some more multy energy/aoe weapons around with us now, they stealth u splash

glad the katana got fixed, hope the nurfing is alot

Heh heh, I guess now would be a bad time to ask for stealth 1 back for PE's and a change to the manual then?

This patch shouldn't be neccessary if it was thought about more before patch 131 was even added. Only good thing is that the new stealth tool is for PE's and Spies only now, which stops monks being godlike.

Does this patch fix the already borked CM quest? Not sure if the CM epic is borked as well, but I presume it's only because Marcel moved to the top end of the CM HQ near the energy spell smuggler and people (as usual) couldn't be bothered to look for themselves.

What are you talking about? With that freq it is just sad trying to kill stuff.

Selendor

Standard bug fix patch, took a week but good to see it.

PE is the main gain from that stealth change, I am glad they are at least willing to try it out. And those that say PE's will 'screw it up' by stealth whoring...well what the hell do you think Spies do at the moment?? They do the same thing only with better damage and worse healing. The only difference is you might actually see a character that is virtually non-existant in Neocron make a comeback.

My only criticism is that this stealth tool is intended as a newbie levelling aid/reward, and not as a balance changer for the end-game (which is what it is). If that was the intent, why have they not just added a PE useable stealth tool to the shops?

My thinking exactly Selendor.. seriously, it would make sense now to add a max rank limit to things that don't become redundant as you level up (so not the noob weapons, but certainly things like the noob stealth tool).. and then allow the PE's to use the Stealth tools again. That way, the tool is balanced at high end by nature of it's requirements.. all you have to look at then is the problem inherent in the tool itself.
