Title: QA Coolness and Badness
Post by: Lithium on May 21, 2005, 11:26:12 am

Well there are 2 main new thigns on QA that will make you love it or hate it. Most will probably hate it.

Firstly the bad news. Everyone get prepaired to level up your hacker tree. There is now an Immunity to Interlock icon that loads up for about 5 to 10 seconds after you roll out of combat. Did they fix the bug where you roll a number to leave interlock? Nope, of course not. Now when a player rolls out they will have about 5 seconds to do whatever they want to do to you. So instead of nerfing hackers they decided to nerf everyone else.

Now the good news: A new class Zen Master. It is one leaf off martial artist. Here are the screen shots of the new abilities.

"DO NOT TRUST THE FRENCHMAN!" I wasn't planning on it... I like where this is going.  Only time will reveal all...

WTF is their Gotdamned problem?  Making them immune to interlock for that long.  It only takes stun from one (of 3million) hackers and you're pretty much done for.  So now, all they have to do is magically escape from interlock and unless you have a ranged attack, they're untouchable for a short amount of time and you're a sitting duck.  

FIX the roll out bug already, dammit.

Damn, I downloaded QA last night and didn't notice any of this. I was seeing if the atlas worked, but apparently it doesn't. Yeah, interlock immunity just made knife throwers and hackers much more powerful.

I still think they need to fix the functionality of stun and also the rollout bug next. Both of these combined make hackers almost unstoppable (if the stun hits anyways). Then adding the immunity timer after rolling out...why not wave a flag saying "Stun me!" for those few seconds.

The atlas is working you need to jack into a hardline and use the hotkey or the blue button on the right to laod it up.

Yeah, I was testing last night before the new patch. That's why none of this stuff was around! I'm patching now.

gawd.... these stupid fucking devs wudnt know balance if it came up and kicked them in the face. that is one of the key problems with this game right now, balance.

What a joke, the absolute coolness of helicopters and a new tree ruined by another stupid descision by the devs...

Do they even play this game?

Title: QA Coolness and Badness
Post by: Anonymous on May 21, 2005, 03:39:52 pm

... probably not... and if they do they are all hackers...

I went to delete and recreate my char on QA and the damn thing is screwing up on me. First I get a patch error saying a critical file is missing (wonderful error -15). Then my tutorial is bugged and doesn't complete the combat portion of the tutorial, it just sticks there after I kill Bob. submitted a petition, but I now have 3 sets of mission items from the tutorial, heh. Until I can get the stupid shit fixed, guess I'm not playing QA. Either that or I could collect a lot of things to decompile while I wait. :p

Ok, lets /ccr the hell out of them on QA about this and hopefully they'll take notice and realize that there are other priorities as far as balance that need to be fixed FIRST otherwise they are, indeed, adding power and function to an already over-powered "class".

Everyone with an opinion, better be submitting /ccr Feedback reports. The Live Events and Development teams read those feedback forms. If they see FA not liking it, they will heed the warning before all hell breaks loose. :p

The leaflets being dropped from copter...I only managed to take a screenshot of the very last one being dropped, they all fell to the ground from the helicopter.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v615/boombye/leaflet2.jpg)

they dropped them for like 5 seconds, haven't seen it do it since cuz i might've been too far with my settings at low detail(but set to medium texture thru custom).

Yeah not sure when they plan to put in Zen master today's patch excluded it. Also when the patch came out this morning I got lockerd out on negotiating with serevrs so I didn't get a chance to check if itnerlock immunity was in or out I hope its out.

Zen Master doesn't exist yet, but neither does Interlock Immunity.

Hmm... i'm looking at the images of  those collectors that Grim posted about.

They want PDAs...does that mean the N30 Ag3n7s will be making a comeback? or possibly just the Red-LED ones? Because I don't know what else drops enough PDAs to collect.

Well... i suppose it is refreshing to see that they are adding some new content in, and at least trying to add variety and balance (even though their job so far is ...lacking) immunity to interlock is really gonna kill the MA class though... it will literally make it obsolete... sigh... some of this stuff is intriguing however, i suppose we'll just have to wait and see
