While much of the patch contained changes related to the event this week, we also have some other additions like the new CCR interface. I understand we're having problems with it at the moment, which are being worked on, but give us your feedback on the update and anything that seems related to it.
Go to DN1 for detailed information on Update 36.

I
used to wear the nice, black ones provided by having an Archivist's
book equipped. That, of course, was nerfed for some reason (confusion
related to the glasses, I guess). So, I took off my Widow's Moor Lenses
and started wearing plain old White Sector Sunglasses (The same as what
you'd get with the book, and one of the first glasses choices in the
game). That was all fine and well until I logged in this morning to
find that they had inexplicably gone rainbow.
All I want, is a
nice, male pair of black sunglasses. It completes my character. Now,
I'm not saying we should get rid of the rainbow shades, as they're
actually kind of a cool effect.
But rather than changing the
appearance of an existing item, could we just keep the old version and
add the new? Would that be so terrible?
I'm sure a lot of people
don't care what they're wearing while they play, and they won't notice
or mind this change at all... But some of us like to look a particular
way, in the spirit of the Matrix, and when you suddenly change the look
of certain items on us... Well, it's a bit frustrating.
This is
the first time I've ever bothered to post a complaint like this with a
patch. As I said, it may seem like a silly thing to some people... But
hey, I pride myself in having created a certain look for my character,
and I need a pair of black shades for that look. I can't believe there
aren't a single pair left in the Matrix (unless you're a female of
course. Their shades remain pretty cool).

as i've stated in my other discussion post, the /ccr DOES look cool, but 90% of it doesn't work
I really don't like seeing SWG or EQ2 questions pop up on my FAQ search, and the category/subcategory feature when submitting a ticket doesn't work. I believe now this doesn't access the old existing system, rather it is now part of the SoE archive for all it's games. This isn't going to help problems if it links to that system. If it could look like it does and do it's php/asx or whatever scripting it is, then it would be nice. Else anyone searching for a faction bug has to sort through all the SWG stuff.
Also the item detail thing
Non-Tradeable is now "Cannot be given to other Characters"
Non-Sellable is now "Cannot be given to Non Characters"
Was this really necessary? Come on. Who really needed that to explain the item in more detail
3rd item: Awakened Glasses/Jacket. Animation still broken. Ability to use them in the hotbar and execute without wearing them is still broken.

The Merv crits in particular were disappointing in a way.... ***POTENTIAL SPOILERS COMING UP...***
...In that a new character was introduced for the sole purposes of the 5 critical missions, and was then destroyed at the end of them. Sure, this helped show that the Commando's were helping the Merv, or at least appearing to help the Merv - but I personally would have prefered if this had been done by staying on track with the actual ongoing storyline, instead of creating a whole new, inconsequential storyline simply for these 5 missions.
This also appears to plant seeds of Flood's possible future dissention from the Merovingian - but again, it would have made so much more sense to implement this into the relevant plotlines - particularly when there is so much to delve into, with the Masked, the Assassin, the Red-Eyes, Neurophyte etc etc.
These crits didn't do much to tell the story or to drive it forward, which is what I see the purpose of critical missions as being.
People might say i'm complaining about nothing - but when the main draw of this game is its story, it is disappointing that the latest crits took on more of a contact mission appearance - in that nothing was of any relevance or importance, and we haven't gained any real knowledge through completing them.
I agree with Chuii - the LE spawns need tweaking, as now, once again - the focus of people during this event is veering towards clammoring around Mara C hoping to get a bite of the corrupted cherry.
As thankful as I am that we are finally seeing the relaunch of Live Events, I pray to god that this one does not follow the pattern of previous events, in that too much of the action revoles around Mara Central - that place does not need another reason for people to hang around there.
actually i got jumped by corrupts 2 at a time several times throughout my crits... and i was never standing around....... on the other hand. i hop over to mara c and see i'd say half the people on the erver going ape trying to kill one or 2 corrupts. freaking chaos. i sat down to wait for a crew member for like 2 minutes. wound up dead because i couldn't even tell tha ti was beign attacked by a corrupt, there were sooo many people there......... so yeah i agree with the mara c doesn't need another reason to just stand around. that was rediculous but nah it's not gonna change thru the LE. Also, althoguh it was nice to have a different venue for the missions, it would be cool to have regular non LE missions changed up a bit... at any rate cool creepy effect on the sky and nice touch to the flyers that actually said "do not trust the frenchmen" rolling along the ground as trash.. yup i noticed that

This is good to hear. Having level 30 ambush NPCs spawn for a level 10 character is a little too much to handle.
The ambush at the beginning of the mission "Free Music" should now be made up of appropriate level enemies.
