    TRANSMISSION INCOMING

    Citizens of Neocron, the electromagnetic frequencies are humming with an unusual signal. From deep within the contaminated wastelands beyond Dome of York, an enigmatic entity known only as the EasterBunny has initiated a rare celebration protocol.

    This is no ordinary holiday—it's a convergence of ancient pre-War traditions and cutting-edge neon-noir festivities. For one long weekend, the fractured remnants of humanity will witness a spectacular fusion of commerce, mutation, and digital treasure.

     

    PROTOCOL OVERVIEW

    The EasterBunny's intervention promises substantial rewards across multiple systems and skill categories. Whether you're a hardened Runner pursuing faster Synaptic Impairment recovery,   a skilled trader optimizing your portfolio, or a collector hunting rare artifacts, this event has been architected to offer something to everyone.

     

    ACTIVATION SCHEDULE: FRIDAY—MONDAY

    FRIDAY: NEURAL ACCELERATION

    Synaptic Impairment Acceleration:

    • Neural pathways fire faster. Synaptic Impairment gains are amplified.

    Sympathy Surge:

    • All missions yield dramatically increased Sympathy gains, accelerating faction rep for those seeking to rise in the eyes of Neocron's power brokers.

     

    SATURDAY & SUNDAY: THE HUNT AWAKENS

    Dynamic Eggs Activated:

    • Shimmering digital constructs begin manifesting across Neocron's sectors and the hostile wastelands. Hunt these Dynamic Eggs for substantial rewards and the chance to unlock rare items. The hunt persists through Monday.

    XP Amplification:

    • All experience gains are doubled, whether you're grinding hostile mobs or crafting at your workbench.

    Extra Safe Slots:

    • Your quickbelt gains one additional safe slot.

     

    SATURDAY ONLY: STATIC EGG HUNT

    The EasterBunny's Gift:

    • Hidden throughout the urban sprawl and toxic badlands are Static Eggs—immobile caches containing pre-selected items of genuine value. This hunt is a race against time and your fellow Runners. Only Saturday evening will reveal their locations.

     

    MONDAY: THE FINAL SURGE

    Extended Slot chance when crafting & Sympathy:

    • Extra high chance to get slots when crafting, and Sympathy gains continue to flow—ideal for wrapping up those faction grinds.

    Trade-Skill Bonus (2x XP):

    • For the artisans and industrialists among you—Traders and crafters receive a focused 2x XP multiplier on Monday only, allowing you to accelerate your production capabilities before the event window closes.

    Dynamic Eggs Persist:

    • The shimmering constructs remain active through Monday's close, giving stragglers a final opportunity to capitalize.

    • Fixed various XP display issues;

      • Lost Packets - The total packets lost from client to server and server to client. Resets to 0 each sync;
      • Corruted Packets - Segments with a payload that did not match any known Neocron message. Resets to 0 each sync;

    • Sped up Terminal Misson Downloads;
    • Added new setting 'config game.camera.tpp.responsiveness', that makes the camera less "floaty" the higher the value is;

    +++INCOMING PRIVATE COMMUNICATION+++

    +++ENCRYPT LEVEL OMEGA+++

    NCPD Operation: Head of the Hydra

    Greetings runner,

    Time is short. The City Admin traitor has revealed everything. 

    We now know the identity of the mastermind running the entire Shadow Organisation.

    Turns out, this conspiracy goes far higher than we could ever have imagined.

    It is time to shut down their operation for good. We will be moving against the head of the organisation in one final all or nothing gambit.

    I can not reveal more here,  even though this line should be completely secure, I am trusting nothing at this time.

    Meet me at the NCPD HQ. Bring plenty of ammunition and supplies. I have no idea how heavy the resistance will be, but best to prepare for the worst.

    For Reza, For Neocron!

    NCPD Commando
