Neocron Forum » General Discussion » NC the story

I have had bouts with this game on and off since it was altered from NC1... I would like to point out a few things about this game that have not changed in the 2 years since I was a beta tester. Sure this game can look great if you have a strong machine however the graphic bugs are outragous! I have heard stories of people having spiders for hair!

Ok first off about 50% of Neocron is about login in and syncing if you are anywhere but in germany you will spend a great deal of time just trying to get into the game. Then there are bugs most of the time where you are in the game that them people at REKK have called "Bad login" which pretty much means you have no property. Or I have had a great deal of "bad logins" where everything looks fine however I die because I can not use any item. Also don't get attached to anything because it could just disappear. There has been a bug since the beta where someone can login and instead of their gogu (personal vault) they have yours. And I have lost valuable stuff just attempting to trade....

 The world is very small and the zones are tiny, so you sync alot. When you crash in a sync you end up in the middle of a zone. This is not really safe and most of the time the biggest badest uglies in the sector are in the middle waiting for some poor guy who is crossing his fingers through the sync. You are usually killed in seconds and because it is a part of the mob hangout your belt is camped by them, so if you have something important in there you are going to have to find someone to help you unless you sync again and die again.

There is no protection when you are logging into the game or zoning in so you most likely will be killed alot with the inablity to move. Because this is a player vs. player game the general population are just looking for someone to kill for free. And there is a amazing amount of prophainity a vulgar statements in public chats. If you are offended easily by statements like "I will rape you" then this is not the game for you.

There are several inconsistancies in the game that make it even more hostile. For example your character has a LE (law enforcer chip) this chip is in your head so people without these implants can't kill you. However they can kill your car, they can still kill you with AOE weapons.... And they just look for exploits... OH ya and speaking of exploits one day we were in a high lvl facility and a gm showed up and basically said  he was going to report us for exploiting... When we inquired as to why he said that because we were hiding behind the box's (basiclly taking cover as you do in FPS's) the mobs could not hit us so basically taking cover in the eyes of REKK is an exploit...

This game had alot of promise, and I love some of the ideas however so far the only part of the game and I mean ONLY part of the game that is relialbe is my scope on my sniper rifle zooming in and out.  These points I have brought up are only a few. There are so many bugs and so many troubles with this game and their billing systems that you are basically paying for neverending frustration and trouble.

Most of the problems should have been fixed in the first year of commercal launch. Everyone else gets their games running fairly smoothly in this time frame.... But the people at Rekk have found it not nessasary to fix these problems...

Sorry for those of you who think this is a promising game... Oh ya and you can get anywhere in the world via conventional travel in about 20 mins... This game really had promise it is a shame they couldn't deliever on that promise...
