E-mail storage time...

It was said that the current patch would modify the storage time of messages at the e-mail system, from the current 30 days limit to unlimited. Yet, the patch notes don't have anything about it. Devs, Walrus. Was the change done or we have...

Upgrade Attacks Overpowered

Renesis, the same could be said for almost every ability in game, as many need only one slot of memory. Maybe if there's a small accuracy bonus at the launcher, like 8 to 10 points with it, the timer of Upgrade Attacks will fit good. Besid...

Clothing worries for crafters

It hasn't been corrected. In fact, the reduction of charges per recipe was presented as a fix . The official explanation was that the excess of charges allowed to a coder to create an almost endless source of bits. That it was the only cla...

Frog, From my point of view, mix of points 2 and 3 is a good compromise to balance hacker at interlock and ranged. First, the tree should be reworked to have offensive abilities clearly differenced. Something like what was done with Logic...

So the problem persists, because hacker is all special moves. The only and reasonable alternative might be the recreation of the hacker abilities, in such form, that there could be non-special abilities, better suited for IL. As it is, it...

How can be this applied without doing hacker a dummy class at interlock? So far, many of the MA special abilities require states to be used. Still, fighting classes have inherent bonuses for melee combat, that make them the standing classe...

Yeah, the 50% to 66% chance of success seems to be balanced, though I still think 20 seconds of duration it's a short time, being that the reuse timer is almost 5 times longer. Maybe 30 seconds are better. I found out that fighting NPC is...

AvatRAMa, Please, check your numbers. Let's take for granted that a Hacker can do 300 damage per viral attack (the maximum damage you posted). In 20 seconds, we have 5 IL rounds. So 300 * 5 is equal to 1,500 points of damage. Even if the 3...
