fallen NO WAY ?! There is always a chance to get no xp then, even without cyberware ? That changes my whole philosophy about cybernetics ! *browse artificial organs catalog passionately*

fallen One of my runner has no DV, as I said in another topic, so I guess she should have had 2xp if it had been the case... which did not happened yet. Gonna dig deeper in CorpoLand soon.

Hi everyone,
Today, I tried to kick some BraveStar's a$$es for money (yeah, I do that) and at the end of the fight, my martial artist runner (whose DV is at 0, all natural) did not gain any xp. My CK and Clive Zep, who both are heavily augmented, gained 1xp without problem, but not her. What happened ? I am not sure if she killed anyone during this fight, it was rather quick and she did certainly not have time to get to her targets (sniper CK and stuff), but that should not change anything, should it ? =/ Is xp gain in battle now based on kills ?

They are, they really are Bohrson. I found that armor with dodge rolls helps my runners even in Hard difficulty- my Hacker CK and Clive Zep Gunslinger survived a Yakuza Assassin and Soldier pair with plenty of dodge at like 30 total exp. I swore I was doomed, but that Street Plated Vest saved my bacon. Do have a question for everyone- has anyone gotten bonus exp for fighting in higher tier areas yet? I haven't gotten even 2xp yet. I also found in love with the Streets plated vest you mentioned in my sniper CK's beginning ; although she now uses bodysuits from AzTek, it had been a very good acquisition. I found that with a high doging score and high AP to use defensive actions in combat, my runners and my CK almost never got hurt in battle (at least, outside of CorpoLand). Fantastic. Never got 2xp either ; the worst battle I have been had 6 enemies (4 Mars Corporate Soldiers and 2 drones) and in the end, I got only 1xp. I am not sure if that counts, as this was not the most epic thing in the NBZ, but nonetheless ; it is supposed to climb up to 3xp for the worst fights. Maybe playing difficulty changes xp gain ? (I play in "normal mode", as this is more a beta-testing playthrough for me than a challenge seeking.)

Tenebrous Pirate I love Robothug. I think you can even pimp him a little more to create a refrigerated storage room to keep beer cold while traveling, with a bit of creativity from the mechanics. Officer Genious The assault rifle looks more like a dissuasive weapon when compared to your AgentEx. XD Bodyguard runners are the best. Especially when they protect you in an offensive fashion. Love the Raptor II ; it was the weapon of choice for my first Gunslinger CK. ^^ grävling I also had a bad surprise when arriving with my shiny martial artist with stunners in front of a drone swarm. Since, I try to take them all out with my sniper CK before they come in range, but they are still my worst nightmare. =/

@cig fallen I found another weapon that share the same bug as the Fennian Panther Rifle ; the Steel Enforcer. I bought it in some Yakashima store ; I don't have its name right now but I could find it if needed. There's what is looks like when equipped : No matter how I scroll along the window, it remains intact. But, when just carried (NOT EQUIPPED), it looks like this if I do NOT scroll : And AFTER scrolling down then back up : Same kind of bug as the Panther Rifle one. No way to get the display back to normal without changing screen. I thought you might like to know about it.

beuns Don't forget ; Corporate Hype makes people buy. "Recoil suppressor" is too mainstream for them. =P lol So "fully integrated recoil aleviation system mark III" sounds better ? Better, yes. I'm sure there could be an interesting anagram out of that, like "FIRASM-III".

You should check out that one thread, "The Runner Formerly Known as Clive Zep". If I could get Clive to live more than a month, I'd love to turn him into something like that. Playing as a non-combatant is challenging-- I've purposely set myself to have mediocre firearms skill (like 5 or 6) and used those orphan Runners I kept finding as my personal Thugs. I currently have an Agent-Ex as my ally, and hire a cybernetic Martial Artist and a Sniper as needed. Still waiting to find a hacker since I pissed off the Fennians and made KH AND BS my life-long enemies (BS killed my Clive Zep, and KH killed my awesome thug who was beastly against anything but frickin' drone swarms). If you do decide to try a non-combative lifestyle (even though my Face is still armed with a Mars special assault rifle...), I'd suggest converting a gunner and brawler as fast as you can-- you'll be keeping them around almost nonstop anyway. Excuse me, I'm too impatient to wait for the bugfix and a good ol-fashioned KH slaughter is calling my name... I have seen that thread and it made me wonder. XD RoboThug is the best character concept ever. I had thought about and AgentEx runner 100% turned into a cyber ninja, as I recently caught one in the street. He will forever regret the day I saved him. In my current game, the first reflex I had with my sniper character was to turn a cybersword and a martial artist into allies to get permanent close-combat bodyguards. I guess that's pretty much the same concept with a non-combative character, although the fight outcomes would only depend on THEIR skills. Which makes them quite important, in my point of view. Don't hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong. Ah, personal vendettas for runner's death... My MNB character also made a whole part of how he sees the world like this. Love when RP factors influence the way people plays, it always makes it tastier. What kind of Mars Assault Rifle ?

wildblue1010 These implants literally sets your stats to the indicated amount. If you've got higher or equivalent naturally, then they're useless, or even restraining.

@cig slayernz What about Photobucket ? I use it as a backup for my images but I have no idea of how it works for forum incrustation. =/ Edit : And it has a mobile app too !

Officer Genious The more I play and learn about others playing styles, the more I feel like turning a runner into a machine is a natural idea... XD Love that game. I never played as a Face but I'm starting to interest myself into non-fighting CKs ; Faces, Hackers, that kind of stuff.
