The Space Station above Remembrance has now been taken into active use. When players port from the Telemall into the game area they now land in the Hanger Bay of the station which doubles as new Community Center and meeting spot.
The teleporters to the surface of Remembrance can be found deeper in the station. The station itself haveing its place in NoRs storyline... How and what is up to you to find out.

With the comming of the new 14 button Beta I have gone over each skill and reassigned the pictures so that there are no doubles. Should Ive forgotten one or made a mistake, drop me a note.
While I was going over the skills I have changed several of them as well. Clearing unwanted effects and bugs as well as some minor balance tweaks on skill effects and/or cost.
•Healing Aura - 35 area heal for 30 stam
•Power Blast - 35 area dam + 15 sec stun for 2 tstat
•Titanium bones - +15 con and health buff for 25 stam
•agility of the hunter, fortitude, shield of faith, titanium bones > range set to 10m
•immunity - +50 will for 3 tstats << 120+ Will added health when recieving skill damage and damaged a player when healed. This is nice for an NPC, but not intended inworld.
•Power Blast - 35 area dam + 15 sec stun for 2 tstat
•forced blow - 25 dam + 10 sec stun for 25 stam
•energy - 100 stam for 5 tstat
•meditative prayer - 1 tstat per 10 sec
•feed - 15 dam + 15 health (+ tstat) for 25 stam
•Vicious Feed - 15 dam and 15 sec weak + 25 heal (+ tstat) for 30 stam

The infernal npc's have been temporary removed to look into a lag issue and them getting stuck. Appearently we placed too much. We are currently reconfiguring the spawning points and should replace them within the next few hours.

*The Tyrants voice is played on the radio, on the background loud grinding noises and the hard banging of metal on metal*
"Spawn..." *coughs and spits* "Enterrerd the station... reactor core... leaking.. not safe... stop him!"

Im working on some signs giving a short introduction to its reach, its classes and a global strength/weakness analysis on a sign. Im makeing an invertorisation of which race groups are still active and which groups need replacement (some groups not even in NoR hands anymore).
I'd like to invite ALL NoR active race group owners to drop me the introduction notices of the group (full perm) and contact names. They will be placed in the new signs.

Staff has been looking in various sources of lag in Remembrance. One of the issues was stuck infernals which we countererd by adding a timer in them derezzing them after a period.
Another source of lag are the weapons we use. We notice a lot of weapons who never passed Admin aproval or have insane rates of fire again. The DCS registers only 3 hits per second. We understand its easier agains the Infernals. Should we all use weapons with lower BPS then infernal strength will be lowererd as well of course.

After a chat with DCS Support today Ive finally managed to understand (part) of the DCS Sim API available for each universe... The API, bit of scripting thatt allows an object to interat with the meter allows me to make a whole range of interesting stuff to enhance the RP/Combat/Realism in NoR.
Take a gOOd deeper look at Cite Deep and around the Space Station...
Resetting al DCS meters... *slams the big red button*
oh... the infernals will be back soon... Improved (i hope)

The Dagger event is back and in a form unseen in NoR since there was actually still a Dagger bar to fight over. In otherwords... We've got ourselves a Faction Dagger Competition, starting December 11th and continuing for a full 24 hours!!!
All NoR based factions welcome to participate....
More details and rules will be published in the next few days...

DCS has a Sim Owner API which allows us to create objects with certain or specific effects... Examples are being used in the NoR infernal storyline already, but the possebillities are huge with some creativity.
As some basic forms have been introduced in NoR we will allow landowners/factions to create their own "hazzard" area on their land. Due tot he scripts nature all the objects will be placed by Biz, more details/conditions in the note....
Come to City Deep so see samples! and test them!

We are growing in numbers and for those new/back. When there is a rp/combat issue amongst players:
- try to work it out friendly and in a respectfull way
- the idea is to have fun together, try to get a concencus instead of your own way
- if you can not work it out together respectfully, call an admin
- do NOT OOC threaten, insult or be agressive during arguments, thic can get you banned regardless the cause
- Provide unedited logs when an ADMIN requests them
- Do NOT mix IC with OOC and/or OOC with IC

http://www.landofnor.com/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=159&thread_id=25971&pid=75328#post_75328
Last night the NoR coordinators were asked for their opinion about the return of a wounded period after being revived by others. This to enhance (capture) rp, empower the healers, fix the dps/tank healing and cut the OOC friction between different player styles where it are skills in captivity concerned.
Ready the forum post, discuss and vote... A descision will be made around christmas for a trial period.

The NPC's have been updated... more realistic movement and the skills have been tied into the sims API system for more characteristic effects...
Use the NPC Melee attachment to fight them Melee wise... We adjusted them so you can actually damage them with Melee... on the other hand.. maybe its better if you just run from them!
DETACH the NPC Melee things when not fighting NPCs in order to prevent meter/hud issues...
