The reason why is that this mission, however easy it is, takes some time to complete. You can't just walk around the corner, buy a hack, do your stats and come back as an uber-whatever class. You could flip this way once, by having a hack...

btw this issue has been fixed... if you see any more behavior like this please bug it or let us know in these forums Although if you're lower level, or you don't have any resistances, or a combination of the two, damage done to you is goin...

Were you using Harmful Code at all? I was checking that out yesterday and noticed that it does some pretty decent damage now, it's not the pointless ability it used to be

Okay... we really haven't been ignoring this. In fact our most heated discussions around the office have been regarding the title buffs. First let me set up the background of why the title buffs are there: #1: In the old system, with all t...

The change isn't in yet - it should be in the next patch.

These ones I might actually go through and buff back up a little bit. The problem is that they have no min level required, which under the new system limits what you can do with them... but then rarebit just came up with something that act...

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's how they work... I'll find out tomorrow for sure

RockyB is on the right track. Your stats give you influences, and influences affect the bonuses you get from active abilities, not passive abilities or clothing. So your MDR influence from stats doesn't affect your clothing, but if you use...

I hate to debunk any fun stories, but every item is available on every server. All servers share the exact same item database - in fact, it's literally impossible for us to have certain items on one server and not another.

Well I just wanted to say that... uh... I broke the evade shield system I misunderstood it when I was re-doing the unique items, and made the shields uber-strength. So I just fixed this. I'm not sure if it was fixed in time for the next pa...

6-8 hits is definitely too high. We'll be looking into this.

But is it matched faux leather with matching dress shirt, uber pimpin style? If it is, I give up

Thanks everyone who sent me clothes With those plus some additions, I got a pretty pimpin' green outfit that gets me 169 resistance with no buffs

Well it was the only green thing I had!

Yeah, ideas like this are very cool but they definitely should go someplace like the Development Round Table board. CR2 is in polish/balance/bugfix mode now.

Were you fighting him solo? Also, has anyone tried taking on the other construct bosses since the most recent patch?

Yup those will be fixed in the next patch, along with the guns that have a 5% or 10% chance to do extra damage, which are currently doing just a tad too much

Awesome, thanks for the feedback y'all.

Yeah in the first pass I missed the Lancet and the other two guns from that dungeon. I got them in the second pass but I didn't make it in time to get into this patch. I think I got all the other ones in that first pass though, all the col...

I just wanted to give y'all a little update that I promised a while ago... I just now got a chance to check through the loot tables, and every single armored and shielded item is available in the loot tables. Also one of our designers just...

The issue isn't gone entirely, but it should be changed dramatically. Clothes will still be a very valuable (even fairly necessary) part of your loadout, but the armored and shielded clothing will be way more useful now than they used to b...

Short dev answer: I think it's an awesome idea, but it's also a separate issue from CR2.

The Assassin's Mask is still very nice, but it ain't as nice as it used to be... movement speed +10% ballistic accuracy bonus +5% max buffer +40 pts max health +400 pts max inner strength +35 pts health regen rate +20% IS regen rate +20%

Can I ask what tactics made you successful against the zerg in the old combat system? I played as a Merv on Live, on a non-hostile server, but I was in a decent amount of PvP. When we were outnumbered, it would be suicide to just run into...

:smileysurprised: Thanks for the awesome feedback!!! This will definitely help

Naw, I was gonna go berzerk... but, OK Yeah it will just be a small tweak back, really I think it's pretty close to where it should be.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! This rocks

Thanks for the feedback. After seeing the latest posts I'm inclined to agree, Miggesch. Fortunately now that we have the system in place I can just tweak numbers in a single place and see what happens

Thank you very much for this feedback Fade, as people have said above this is a much-needed area of feedback 5 pretend stars for you!!!

Big thanks to all the people who were there in Creston! That was fun Oh and after trying to take down the boss of the Seraphim, I think anybody who wants to test the PB4 should probably wait until I get a chance to meddle with them some :s...

The RSI hack will be available once CR2 goes out. We're in the process of figuring out how to make it available, but hard to get... just making it expensive isn't going to cut it, since what is affordable to a level 50 is out of reach of a...

Oh, and a couple of things to note with new enhanced items. 1. Items never buff stats any more. So, no +15 to focus going on. The reason: Under the new system, stats count a lot more toward bonuses than any clothing or other additional buf...

Yup, this time around the stats will just change on whatever you currently have. I'm trying to keep everything similar to what it was under the old rules, so your Direwolf Skin doesn't turn into a code writing coat

They should be done in a couple more days, then the next patch after that... they should be in there before the end of the week, I think, unless anything else gets in the way *cross fingers*

Glad to hear it's in the right direction! I'm kind of thinking it might be just a tad too easy now, but the cool thing is that now the new system is in, it's easy to tweak one number in one file and get sweeping, and predictable, changes t...

Collectors don't work yet... I'm in the process right now of converting over all of the unique items.

Thanks for the great feedback, Symmetric, and check out the PvE board if you haven't already. Short story: we've changed it so the bulk of your resistance will come directly from your level, and armor and shielding will be like a bonus on...

Good question! I know one of our other designers is still working on fleshing out all of the enhanced items with ones that are better, but I'm not sure how much better. Knowing what I know now that I've learned more, I'd say that clothes a...

This is probably the biggest thing that will take getting used to in the new CR. Ballistic defense is pretty much the equivalent of DR, but the way the rolls work now, you won't see the situation you did in the old system, where lower leve...

Nope, you're not doing anything wrong as far as I know... it might just be that we need to tweak some numbers. I think possibly lowering the cap for damage done by lower levels (i.e., making your higher resistance count even more strongly...
