New to game...Kinda

DarthPredator

Well after getting some help from SOE I am able to get back into the game after an extremely long absence. I played during beta and for about a year after launch and had to quit. I never really got the game out of my system, I was just a fan of how the game was ran, with all the elements, in game events, etc. Well I finally decided to come back. And was wondering how different the game was. I decided to come to recursion because I see alot of names i recognize such as the collective, and a few other individuals.

It looks like the game has pretty much stayed the same, well the parts that i liked about it anyway. Are there any major changes? The Machines seem to be pretty active, that is what i was before and where most of the names seem familiar so i decided to stick with that, are the Machine guilds still active?

Anyway sorry for the rather simple/idiotic questions just trying to get a feel for the player base and game. Thanks for any info.

Combat Revision 2.

It takes way too long for me to describe it, and I've never understood every last bit of it anyway. Someone who PvPs will see this and give you a rundown, I hope.

Imagine logic, common sense and reasoning in a combat sense as a toilet.

Now add cr2.0.

Well you can forget all about VD, DR, BT, Rolls and wearing lvl 20 coats. It's all about enhanced clothing with accuracy, damage and defense points. Basicly defense = DR/VD/BT from CR1 and of course theres ressistance on the clothes now against melee, viral, thrown and ballistic which is very important in pvp unless you wanna get shot down in a heartbeat. That's about it pvp wise.

PS: They nerfed hacker hard! :o

Welcome back! Here's a good guide by Aquatium to help you cover the basics of the changes.

Thanks. That is kinda what i gathered with the combat upgrade.

Lotekghost, gotta say, i love the sig. hahaha classic.

So far so good i guess. Only lvl 5 but i just wanted to hop in and get used to it so far. Looks good, feels good. I will probably be back on later this evening to get down the finer points. But when Hockey calls, it calls. Big game tonight so I will be watching on the tube.
