This one has been fixed internally. Whenever the next hotfix goes out it should be in there.

Okay the decay rate has been reduced. Please keep the feedback coming on what it's like with the new rate!

Hehe you guys sold me... I was planning on starting a new char when CR2 came out, so I started him on Vector

Oooh I finally found the problem! Look for this in an upcoming patch (not sure exactly when yet)

Yeah I had the exact same thing happen, and I think I just figured out why. It used to be that you activated the Sneak ability itself. Now the Sneak ability gives you some passive buffs, along with granting you Spy Style as well as the abi...

Another option we have available is that we can change which abilities can be used in interlock. Maybe there are just too many usable in IL at the moment. I imagine that this will most likely be one of the first balance issues addressed po...

Very nice find. This just got fixed like 5 minutes ago.

Okay I just got official word that this just got fixed today. I think the fix won't be out until Tuesday... DUN DUN DUNNNN

oops I missed that last post Tekmon. Anyhow Upgrade Attacks was never supposed to be something you ran constantly. That was an error transferring data from our abilities spreadsheet to the actual game abilities.

The way I see it is similar to what Renesis said. MA's (and to some extent duellists) are the kings of interlock. If you're a hacker and I'm an MA, my job is to hunt you down, pull you into interlock, and beat the living daylights out of y...

Yes, Viral Attacks in interlock are considered special moves, creating a zero-sum situation if they hit . If they don't hit, and the other person used a normal attack, the normal attack can still go through. And the silver bullet animation...

ooooh good find. I just fixed this - duration is now 20 seconds, reuse timer 90 seconds, just like the Martial Arts and Firearms damage buffs.

I think we need some more info from you. I was just checking this and it worked fine for me, but there may be some specific spy abilities that are set wrong and don't put you back into spy style. And yes, it should automatically switch you...

Are you talking about the massive timer on them? That's part of what we added to allow them to stay active through hardlines. They are now on 8 hour timers, and if you play more than 8 hours in a row... you deserve a /salute

This is definitely by design! Stats are just as important to buffers as they are to any other class: the radius on their AOE buffs, the strength of any heals they do, or in this case how powerful their buffs will be. And Panicked Heal... I...

That ability was bugged for a long time, but I think it's been fixed now. It should work exactly like the 3 to the left of it (Calm Mind/Body, Empty Mind, and Consistency) except that it works on ballistic damage resistance.

I don't think it will be in today, but in the next patch.

Have you read the latest in that thread, Spadz? Message Edited by HCFrog on 03-21-2006 02:01 PM

Update: All hacker attacks in Interlock have had an accuracy penalty applied. Viral accuracy is still used in IL, however the viral accuracy will suffer a penalty as long as the hacker is in IL. The penalty is much larger on higher level h...

Looks like a fairly old post there. Here's how it's going to work: We are not automatically taking away anything. In some cases, abilities have been converted into new abilities and if you had the old one, you'll automatically have the new...

I suspect Aikido sims are still going to be kinda dumb in regards to free fire, to be honest. That's a fairly deep rooted AI issue there... but I think someone like RockyB might know more since he's used a ton of sims on the test world. Ha...

Yes it's been seen Sorry I can't comment more because I don't know what exactly we're going to do with this, just wanted you to know we've seen it.

Yup, you'll still get all the messages about what your abilities do to other people, or what theirs do to you. You just won't get the constant spam that says "Building Security uses an ability."

My favorite part: Non-specific Ability use chat messages have been removed. Translation: no more "HCFrog uses an ability" spam in the system window.

Uh... I TOTALLY lagged out right then, for the whole fight yeah thats it Message Edited by HCFrog on 03-20-2006 01:37 PM

Don't make me viciously headbutt your fists again Roukan :smileymad:

I just lowered the levels a little bit (they're now 5 levels above the max level of the archive, aside from the 0-1 taskmaster who is still level 60). You should not be able to take them on solo, but 3 or 4 people at the max level fro the...

Oh just a little note, an engineer is trying to get the title buffs to stay on through Hardlines. It's turning out to be a little more squirrelly than we expected.

hmmmm I'm thinking this one over, about what the rolls would be to make it come out like that... hmmmm I'll have to get back to you on this one. It does kind of present an interesting situation when you think through it. Cause basically in...

The reason why it's a bug is that it's a remnant of an old system. Ages ago you had to have a program launcher equipped if you wanted to use any hacker abilities, and they equipped in the tool slot. Then the system changed and launchers we...

I said it somewhere, not sure where offhand... but anyhow, there is technically no such thing as a server-specific object. All servers share the exact same database and we don't have a way of putting different items on different servers. W...

first question - dunno right now I think they're staying as is for the release, and then depending on what feedback we get they might get changed. Not sure there. second q - initiative boosts your roll when two special moves go at each oth...

Quick answer: It's still ballistic, in or out of IL.

Okay, well first off I don't know much about the single/dual sub guns issue or whatever that one is. It looks like one of the other designers already hit Direct Fire, as it now costs 50 IS. I think that generally the SubGun tree takes more...

Yeah, but it's still a pie-in-the-sky goal of getting them updated, so nobody go getting all excited about it please

ooooooh when do you want to bring it, ya taco stealin' p3ngu1n 0wnin NINJA PIRATE

If I'm at work that day I might pop in for a bit

why not, the rest of the people in the test world have been doing that

I'm pretty sure that this should be fixed in an upcoming patch.

Fighting an NPC who is two levels lower than you, with all the NPC adjustments and whatnot, I think you'd be doing almost twice as much damage as you would to a player your own level with some good resistances. That whole system is in plac...

This is a bug, which got fixed today and should be in an upcoming patch (possibly not the next patch, but soon).

Okay... the reason why this was done: The bonuses on those clothes were pretty out of whack for the level requirements. Level 16 clothes that give you +10 to an ability... I guess they were just that way because they were crafting clothes....

I hope that's exactly what will happen. Right now, you can browse to it from the screen that shows all of the trees, you just can't browse to it from Infiltrator (or wherever it branches off from). At some point I think it would be cool to...

Not until we've perfected the cheats! hehe

nope, RSI hacks won't work like that. You will be able to get any number of them, but you can only have one in inventory at a time.

Ahhh thank you for the feedback about the mission timer. The mission timers are a set value, but I could add a stop halfway down which would double the time you have. And add a little more danger getting to the mission area
