Yes more testing today and the encouragement I felt yesterday has gone. Running around Mara you are clearly visible to players most of the time; didnt manage to execute a single assassin strike before being seen . Even more humiliating one...

Managed a bit of testing of the sneak ability last night with the kind assist of CLAUIDUS and BrightMorning and a small selection of NPC's at Industry square. Against NPC's sadly it remains very very ineffective, in ten approches only 2 di...

truth is while sneak is so fragile it isn't even possible to do any real testing. First and foremost for the entire spy tree, we need Sneak looked into, atm even assuming you score with the first attack there is little or no chance of a fo...

As its a full year since I wrote my characters back story and theres no way to read it, this might not tally fully with what is written there but the gist should be the same and this probably reads better....or maybe not I've no idea lol....

What about addressing the issue of the UI which a majority of those that have tested it says needs changes? Ignoring this issue raises the distinct possibility of the live game seeing the same mass exedus the QA saw in its first week? And...

So far imo CR2.0 is an excellent duelling system, however I have severe reservations re real combat situations and currently 'Sneak' requries significant work. For a non-hostile world these are lesser considerations, though not negligible,...

Personally I'd describe Cypherites as more akin to Merov's....the generally cold and logical machines wouldn't tolerate such behaviour in any of their operatives imo.....a cypherite is merely a Merovingian with no personal ambition.

I don't mind the direction or the mixing of moves...in fact I use full assassin and MKT trees currently so its little or no change for me.... I dont think its entirely resonable to have to put all the attributes into one place simply to be...

Apologies if this has appeared before - for some bizarre reason I havent visited this forum before! Two oft requested idea's are an HQ for your organisation and to have some pvp objectives worth fighting over. The commandoes demonstrate ho...

Merov's dont have an active reason to split atm, in fact given their nature they are really individuals in any event, there's no single overriding aim.....well except wealth and power maybies lol. As has been said what we gain is an absenc...

As far I can tell it seems that to get proper resistances the right clothing buffs are just as important as before...perhaps more so since we are generally less robust from our LO's. The only bright light in this otherwise dissapointing re...

Assassin isn't any better unfortunately, stuns are short the ability to restealth with an aware opponent all but impossible cant comment fully until Disguise is available but looks like spy's are going to be one of the weakest pvp classes.

You are somone commiting a major error of judgement, one more regret that will destroy the very future you seek...action, reaction, cause and effect.

I am concerned by the term feature lockdown, More urgent than balancing and bug fixing CR2 needs a revision of the UI and a streamlining of the combat process.... a majority of those contributing on the CR2.0 forums are asking for attentio...

Well it is a clever work around I'll grant you but it emphasises once again how we get zero benefit from the two hotbars under CR2. The current implementation of combat is unweildy and urgently in need of attention, we need less pre fight...

Ooops apologies for the double post! Message Edited by Tytanya_MxO on 03-02-2006 05:58 AM

The whole spy tree revolves around sneak, if it isn't made more robust and effective no one will use it Message Edited by Tytanya_MxO on 03-02-2006 05:57 AM

I thought it would be useful to describe some of the scenarios in which sneak is usually applied in relation to the new sneak system and ask for some feedback on a few suggestions which imo would greatly increase the ability of the player...

Well imo Style buffs are the issue, they add minimal gameplay advantage for a notable overcomplication of the system, however they are activated, their presence is messy and unecessary. Equally having a Kung fu buff that will affect my Kar...

Too important not to bump! We need our hotbar space and we don't need excessive button pressing before every battle.

Cryptos your message makes a great deal of sense, but fails to fully recognise individual ambition. Nevertheless the one undeniable fact I glean from your statements is that the real threat to your goal does not come from the Merovingian's...

Cherish the few victories you can, but for you the party is at an end, the future is ours.

Good work guys, the commandos chose the wrong allies, the wrong enemy and the wrong time to begin their operation....three wrongs certainly do not make a right!

Very good news indeed, mucho thanks to the devs for listening and making a work-around.

Merovingian operative's could not be more delighted with their new liason, Entropi has overseen a cosolidation of an ever more potent Merov force while our enemies disintigrate into pure chaos. Cypherites, Neo fanatics, a shaky alliance wi...

The current pvp system already offers a significant advantage when numbers of combatants are factored against a smaller unit. I am asking that the degree to which that effectiveness 'stacks' for each active player in excess to your team sh...

We should dodge bullets rather than absorb their damage, I like the current balance (it could even make npc's a tad too easy) but feel its not achieved in the best manner to remain consistent with reality or the movies. (sorry for repeatin...

TBH i feel the damage resistence when you are hit is actually a bit too high now, however I still feel the frequency at which lower levels are hitting is too high. The movies showed redpills dodging bullets not taking hits and shrugging th...

As things stand I expected a downgrade of this tree but now its too easy to knock a spy out of sneak and they are too ineefective when visible imo. It might cause outrage but if all sneak attacks that dont IL took you to the 'transparent f...

It's an idea but tbh I don't think there is any evidence we have to suggest a connection between these characters at present.....

TBH i mostly agree with the OP, it was released too early even on the test server. I know the pressure was on, but all the focus and expectation was on a combat system fix not to begin over. When people moved onto QA and were left flounder...

agreed! An assassin strike either needs to kill in one (which is kinda dull) or do heavy damage and a hefty debuff, or have a valid IL support (melee tactics boost on the selfdefence tree is fine if that boost allows you to hit more often...

I certainly wouldn't expect its reasonable to be able to challenge 10 purples in a combat system, the FM tree was heavily overpowered and has been heavily overused by players to capitalise on deficiencies in NPC ai. Referring back to the o...
