Missing: NEOCOM Upgrade + New Contracts System
Wasn't there meant to be an upgrade to NEOCOM, as well as the new Contracts system, that CCP was going to "test live" by releasing it as a Beta option that could be enabled through the gae settings menu.
Since the final patch went live though I have checked and the contracts are still the same, NEOCOM definitely hasn't changed and there is no option in the settings to enable these "beta" features.
Are they being pushed out later for some reason, anyone have any idea?
No idea. I didn't really test the contract system but the neocom didn't seem to have many issues other then opening multiple windows of the same thing. Not sure if they will actually add it in a patch or wait for another expansion cycle.
just like shopfronts
Not Dead, Just Sleeping
And treaties
They immediately pulled it out for being "too buggy" for a beta. Funny I thought I was playing Buggy online, so this would be a feature add.Originally Posted by Memnoch
So they released Dev Blogs and said it was going to be in the 3rd phase of patches, then they just dropped it without saying anything and hoped that no-one would remember the dev blogs that announced it in the first place? Heh, that really is typical CCP arrogance for their customers and a seriously warped perspective on effective communication with the player base. Sigh I know I shouldn't be so shocked at stuff like this but here we are, guess im just slowly on my way to becoming a bitter old vet one day lol.
Welcome to the BOV Club. You have your choice of drinks, Milk of Magnesium or Metamucil.
What the fuck is a neocom?
Also, the removed the ability to make a [Want A Gift] contract, so no more jita contract scamming... fucking ccp.

The icon toolbar

There's nothing they can do to kill Jita contract scamming. They could make a [Give stranger all your isk with nothing in return] contract and people would still click it blindly.

and was meant to include a much cleaner menu system with some other improvements.
Change newneocom to 1 in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\d_games_ eve_tranquility\settings\prefs.ini.
Edited for calmness.
Am teh calmer now.
So yes, can someone confirm that this works, or is simply a troll?
Yeh I think ill wait till CCP actually "release" it properly rather than screwing around with my preference settings. Thanks for the comment Deniera but I think most of us on Kugu are smart enough not to follow advice like that from a kugu newbie poster lol.
The new contract system was something I looked forward too
Calm the fuck down friend
its coming. IIRC they're going to finalise the new font design before they release it.
Theres pics all over the forums.
if I can't make that vertical, I'm gonna rage like a sonofabitch
Erm, it's just a flag. It's set to 0 right now, and presumably it can be switched on. It's not like flipping one bit is going to melt down your entire client; if it doesn't work, it'll probably just not load, and you can open the file again and switch it back to 0.
Use at your own risk, of course.
Me thinks you are going to end up raging, but maybe CCP will cut you a break :P (They want to make it look more like WOW with an action bar at the bottom haha)
Yeh thats pretty much what I presumed, but turning it on if its missing files or data to run properly could cause your client to crash which could potentially cause problems with the install, so its probably better not to play with it, although you could always copy your eve install, turn it on and log in, and if it doesn't work delete the copy and go back to your normal install and all is good.
I would think that this would be really an issue for mac users who play in windowed mode.
Can you imagine trying to open your mail or something and accidently starting some random app on your bar?!
Even for windows users, the taskbar is usually either on the top or the bottom. The clutter will make my head de-plode.
Not to mention that the majority of monitors now sold are widescreen. Vertical space is at a premium, horizontal is not.
They just snuck in the new contracts system with the latest patch they just pushed through - not 100% sure if it was the one 24hrs ago or the character creator patch - but you can now enable the new contracts system from the contracts "start page". Sneaky bastards, now I wonder when the NEOCOM changes will come (sneak) through?
For what it's worth, I was bored the other day and gave that parameter a try, no effect whatsoever(at least nothing visible). And on a related note, for some reason my mains EVE client had more parameters in it's config file than my alt, despite using the same settings on both clients. The alt client lacked the newneocon parameter entirely among other things.
I think we wont be seeing the beta version. They said that they wanted to test ingame betas and they would start with the new neocom, well looks like they've started with the beta contract system instead.
I guess they've had more issues to deal with on the NEOCOM side than with the Contracts system, so they just released what was ready. Still it wouldn't have been to hard to put out a dev blog stating we would get the contracts a few days after the 3rd incursion patch and the NEOCOM is delayed.
Need to find the dev post but it sounds like the new neocom was a side project by a programmer and has been scrapped.
I already linked the dev post about the NEOCOM stuff.The Dev Blog about the NEOCOM changes is here: http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=831
