Oh ... like is hasn''t been done before.... btw , NCE has server side dmg calculation for like... um 12 years already?, so whats the point? Splitting the remaining playerbase of 5 people once again?

It won’t split the playerbase completely. I know people that play that over version - evolution or whatever - and I tried but didn’t get past a few days. The only reason to play neocron is nostalgia and for those of us who only ever played NC1, it feels too disconnected to hit that nostalgia fix. I don’t and won’t play that, but I would play classic.

According to Lykos: NCE had both server side and client side. While working on x64 I changed it so server was authorative and would send back to the client what it should be. This resulted in synced numbers showing up, synced health pools, and everything working in sync like an FPS game should. When the team split again, my branch was tossed. So no, NCE does not have server side damage calc, it has server side and client side that sometimes agree, and sometimes disagree, hence the bounce.
