From my QA experience, I am inclined to agree that Hackers now have a big advantage in interlock. However, because of the DPS system, I don't think their damage can be altered without rebalancing the whole tree. The answer must come from t...

Desperation gets my nod for best new ability of CR 2.0. I implore the Dev team not to change the damage of the big special moves. Especially when fighting those with extreme health regen rates, often one of these moves is the only way to e...

Am I totally alone in NOT having IS regen problems? I do have Widows Shades and Sakura Bandana, but is that the difference? I only have IS problems as a Utility Master running both Daemon Boosts while interlocked and spamming Firearms Skil...

Cal's numbers are spot on - good work there. I think the bottom line here is that Hackers have somehow become more effective in interlock than interlock classes. There needs to be an element of balance, either an increase in IS costs and c...

Fine then, I just won't even try to make sense anymore. Put what you want, where you want.

I'm fine with the current balance. It is a real pain to set up a Full Auto Redux, so the reward should be big damage when you do pull one off. The damage is the direct result of the length of the timer under the DPS system. Long timer = Bi...

Addendum to the mysterious "Mission Aborted" bug. This happened to me twice more in the past hour on QA. The first time, I was resting up to take another crack at the Agents in the PB Arc 3 Mission that starts with Clef's Business Card. I...

This reporting is not as thorough as my last run through on the Box 3 missions, but I realized a critical error that I made in my first report. I assumed that the enemies conned the same way as they do on live, and that soloing the "Agent...

Umm....look at all of the posts above mine. No one is talking about the effects of the ability, they are just talking about the "godly glow" animation. If you want, I could quote all of their posts and highlight the word animation, but the...

This right here: Is a show stopper if I have ever seen one. I don't know if you can read the error text at the bottom of the screen, because it fades away really fast, and I cannot reliably reproduce the error, but it says something to the...

Glad you guys warned me. I found some sweet stuff today, but I guess I will hold off on Decomping it.

If we are talking about animations that need toning, shouldn't it be in the animation forum? I think that Enhanced Dodge needs toning down. It effectively doubles all of someone's defense stats, making them incredibly hard to hit. I counte...

In response to LiquidZ, I have this bug pretty well pinned down, and I have reported it already. For those who care, here are the details and the workaround. When using a mixed SMG/Pistol loadout your specials are dictated by your freefire...

Indeed. Seems like you have a problem.

I think the word is out now about how badly those guns are bugged, including the fact that they can equip thmeselves. If you want to test clean, just take them out of your inventory by emailing them to yourself. That way, no accidental exp...

I'm well aware of the brokeness of the Hampton Green guns. I was using Bedlam in interlock and Clamor in freefire. Clamor's 15% Stun is a big factor as well.

/bumpty bump HCFrog, where are you? What is up with this ab anyway?

Yes, I did solo him Renesis, but it was far from quick. When you say you could only do 60 damage with your strongest attack, which one do you mean? Outside of interlock I could not do very much damage to him either, (Dual Pistol Execution...

Mixed Duelist/SMGs. The real key to a quick takedown is to have one other person freefiring him to cause the appropriate state for your power moves. I stayed on Speed attack and had a friend using Grab from freefire. I was able to go back...

To answer HCFrog, yes I was able to solo the Taskmaster with a bit of difficulty (Health Pills are a must), but he is easily defeated with a team of two or more. The odd thing is, with a team, he seems to do far less damage. It could be be...

I just finshed testing out the missions for Pandora's Box Arc 3, aka everyone's favorite farming run, and came up with some interesting results. For our test we used a team of 5 level 50s with varying loadouts. A few hackers, a couple of g...

This problem seems to be fixed with Update 7. The Taskmaster is still very hard to damage, but he is killable, it just takes awhile, and you have to be careful not to die. :smileywink: Message Edited by The_Wendigo on 03-06-2006 03:41 AM

This is a new bug that came with update 7. It stems from the fact that the HG Hotel Hideout guns are not working properly. For some resaon they lend the Armor Piercing attribute to all hacks and heals, resulting in ridiculous damage and he...

I was a focus-based gunman before 2.0, and I remain one in it, so I am not emotionally invested in this issue, but I can see why some people are. It really is dirty to switch around the attributes on someone, and not give them a chance to...

That has to be before the damage was balanced. Try that now and watch what happens. Thanks for the speedy reply NoRepro.

I just tried out the Zero One Taskmaster with a few different loadouts, and it did not go very well. He seems to have an incredible amount of damage resistance, to the point where moves like Full Auto Redux only do about 70 damage to him....

Was that an Insane Clown Posse sig? Clowns are bad for you. You shouldn't publicly admit to listening to that crap. Now for the on-topic response. CR 2.0 is actually quite fun and has many improvements over the old system. I'm sick of hear...

Now that we have entered the balanceing phase of CR 2.0, I think now would be a good time to give the players an idea of what sort of balance you, the Dev team, are trying to achieve exactly. I was a bit disturbed when I read NoRepro's req...

I was testing with my Force Multiplier loadout using Self-Defense style. I encountered an issue where everytime I switched off one of my aura abilities, I was automatically switched to Hacker-style. Now, I accept that automatic style switc...

I know you said you won't change appearance, but please for the love of god, make the Sakura for females a bandana! I don't want to have to go S+M style for nice buffs. PLEASE!!!

Now that the lines of communication between the players and the Dev team are open, I think everyone is much happier. Our next task is to streamline and refine the process. One type of feedback I would like to get from the Devs regarding th...

I don't know if there is a more appropriate place for this, or if it has been discussed before, but I haven't seen a topic dedicated to it. I was one of those unhappy to see multi-interlock go, but I recognize the problem it created in the...

I think CR 2.0 is moving strongly in the right direction with the latest patch, but I want to talk about an issue that has not yet been widely addressed: Clothes. We all want to see more variety in clothing styles and not have everyone run...

During today's delightful excursion into the world of the playtest server I won alot of duels, lost alot of duels, reported a few bugs, learned all about the system, then realized everything I learned was wrong. Many of my other issues hav...

I am a devoted Duelist, so this post is automatically biased, but here it goes. Where are all of the good dual-handguns in CR 2.0? I know some items had to go in the transition. Lancet gave Focus, that's a no-no, so Lancet gets the axe for...

Ok, now that you've taken the bait, you must be wondering, "What is F.L.E.D.?" F antasy L oadout E ngine D eluxe is an idea that has been kicking around in my head for a long time. The basic concept is an offline GUI containing all of the...

I dunno if anybody has posted on this yet, if so forgive me. Since the latest update I have been completely unable to finish any of the Pandora's Box Arc 3 missions. Anytime I want to tangle with some Hired Thugs, I am rudely returned to m...

This is not my idea, but I felt it deserved a little more notice because it was originally posted in the middle of a thread on Bounty Hunters, so most of you probably missed it. A long read but its brilliant, I think. Symbea wrote: I think...

Almost everyone agrees that Hackers are unbalanced in their current state, but how do we fix them? Before you furiously hit reply to tell me how dead this horse is, hear me out. I am very much against "Nerfing" and everyone hates it when t...
