Combat?

[Convict***Escaped***]

The combat seems a little flaky, even with my Powerhouse Atrox-Soldier, I'm having troubles killing those mice-like creatures :mad:

Can some of you more experianced players give some tips please?
Fighting unarmed, I usually hit for 3-4 points of damage. Yet, when I use my rifle, I still give the same amount of damage!
+ why is it when I'm firing shots at a distant enemy, they can retaliate 'unarmed' and still punch me from a distance of 10-15 meters!?! It's simply absurd!

OK, when you attack there's that 'attack' meter and you can only attack once it fils up. So you have to wait around 3secs for every attack. Is there anyway to speed this up?
+ any idea on what those different attacks are by using the : K, N, M, and a couple of other keys.


Anyway guys, whats your favorite attack strategy?

Cheers :)

m is burst fire and at level 4 i can now do in the region of 12 points of damage.

Sounds good BW!

I'm going to make a new charachter tonight, any recommendations?
I've been doing some reading and the Martial Artist has had some happy owners :)
I think I'll go with him tonight... the hardest part is choosing the name :|

[BlackWidow]

don't ask me im a total newbie tbh :)
I got to level 4 on my new Soldier and decided i'd do the quests, went to the Mission Machine and got my key, now the door to the quest won't open! Typical! :|

Same here, load the co-ordinates to my map, go to the white dot and can't go through :cry:

u tried selecting the key from the inventory 'I' and right clicking the mission door?

[Convict***Escaped***]

I think it's usually a problem with the server. First nothing would work. Later on, I simply walked through the door!

Also, I think I've worked out why my soldier was such a pansy. From the 'stats' menu, you have a bar defining Defence and Aggression. I had him on full defence, which resulted in him dying more often!

Now, I've got a Martial Arts Solitus Female(*uhm*). She's on full Aggression and wipes the floor with anyone!
/or, at least the easier monsters...

When you go into a mission, there's the main hall with around three guards. Sneak around them and enter all the side rooms. Sometimes you'll find an enemy in the room, simply kill them. During this you'll find and complete your missions objective. Now you can leave or risk taking on the three guards in the main room. If you do, always know where the exit is incase you need to escape!

Aye it's the uber lag thats stops you entering mission zones

B is to brawl, daaamn useful skill ;)

[Convict***Escaped***]

Maybe at higher levels, but with my Level 1 Martial Artist, Brawl only takes around 2-3points of damage. Whereas the standard 'Melee' attack takes 4-6!

+ Doesn't Brawl have to re-charge?
++ using 'K' for my special attack, uses all my mana(nano-stuff)... and does next to nothing :mad:

[Izzeh]

Brawl is really good, it only does one attack but thats as well as the normal one not instead of meaning that every 3 attacks or so you get an extra attack ;)

Seriously, if you are a close combat fighter invest heavily in brawl, my characters does 6-8 damage normally and about 12 damage with brawl, its soooooo damn useful :D

[Hyb]

I just started a martial artist. I got this skill called strike of the snake or something which hits the enemy for 2-3 nano damage, I also use brawl when it's charged. How do I get other special moves, do I buy them as nano attacks?

BTW my new character is well cool - a 6 foot black guy with a huge afro called BigJed. Reminds me of the massive black guy out of a Bruce Lee movie :)

Mine's a medium sized oriental chick :naughty:
