Neocron Evolution - Test Server Update Notes

Created on 5/20/2014 2:48:09 PM

Aggressive damage over time effects - contamination, fire, x-ray, poison and energy stacks - have been reworked and should now work as intended.
Weapons with the same tech level from the same category (pistol, rifle, etc.) should now do the same amount of damage per minute/second, this is now independent of whether they do damage over time or instantly.
Due to the heavy refactoring of underlying code the corresponding particle effects now look slightly different.
Compared to the damage per minute/second of cannons:
- Melee weapons do 5% more damage
- Pistols and Rifles do 10% more damage
- APU Spells do 15% more damage
Support abilities such as PPU heals and shields are still broken.
"Reverse LoMs" have been re-enabled on the test server.
We have added a "shooting range" which lets you test your damage output on, static, dummy NPCs. These NPCs only have 20% overall resists.
The frequency values in the weapon's info window have been also fixed.

The damage of different ammo mods has been equalized. The only difference between different ammo types is now that they deal different types of damage.

There was an issue in the dpm curve which distorted it heavily. This issue has been fixed.
A temporary background of the new, still work in progress, NPC dialog has been added.
