Retail they've fixed a ton of bugs already. They also fixed chat quite a bit. There are now custom channels for shopping, researchers, constructors, pokers, etc.Originally posted by ZiZ
I played the Neocron beta a little bit. I hated the system, the interface was stodgy, I kept missing things about AO...but for the apartment. I was all over the apartment. It was SO FREAKING COOL. I like the computer temrinal that connects you to the forums and the rec machine that heals you quickly especially much.
Oh, yes. Bump!
On the subject of the CitiCom terminal, that's going to become EXTREMELY useful very soon. First off, they have disabled the ability for anyone to find the location of player not in your clan. That will be implemented in the next patch (due today or Monday). In a patch shortly after, they are introducing the "hacknet". The hacknet allows folks with high hackskill to use any CitiCom terminal to remotely hack things. One of the things hackers will be able to do is hack CitiCom search engine to find the location of any player, even the ones not in your clan. Hackers will most likely do their work in the safety of their very own apartment.
This will soon lead to warsw fought on a higher level between various hackers. One hacker will use the CitiCom to find locations and hack various things. A rival hacker will then find the location of this hacker and send a strike squad to the hacker's location. It is being decided whether it may be possible for hackers to be able to hack the locks of other people's apartments. This will mean hackers will have to use hit and run tactics to make sure the enemy can't send strike squads to his location if an enemy hackers successfully finds out where he is at the time.
