I first of all want to say thanks to Walrus and the entire Dev Team for what amounts to a massive update to the game. It really appears to be a tremendous effort, and I hope we're all rewarded for it. While Pandora's Box and the changes to coding are definitely huge and great news, I have to say that I'm more excited for the new cinematic and critical missions. I have to admit that their inclusion in this patch totally caught me off guard - in a good way.

I just wonder if this means that we'll be seeing one of those live - well, you know - in the very, very near future.

Was worth waiting the last few days of inactivity on DN1 to read these 2 articles!

I cant wait, now I will not be able to sleep tonight! Thank you devs!

Best Patch Ever!  Walrus cant thank you enough and send my thanks
to the Dev team for sticking to their guns and getting content out to
us.  I also love the fact that you are releasing the Cinematic 2.2
and critical missions.  For me thats almost like Christmas. 
Tomorrow should be a fun ride!

So far so good. To bad the notes have a couple items that repeats itself. But its nice that they worked on a couple MA exploits and really fixed some of the coder problems. One question though, it says your bits stack now when you enter the LA, but do they stack if you upload them without entering the LA?

Any news on the market place yet? Also a search feature would be nice for the coders, so they can search for there decompiled items and see what they have quickly instead of going through their lists.

   I'm curious as to how long the current Pandora's Box storyline is going to be around before it changes.  I'm not in a hurry to level up (I'm level 27 and I've been in the 20s range since around April).  And knowing everyone's reluctance to document or even talk about missions, I'm most likely only going see incomplete parts of the current Pandora's Box storyline in a bunch of random screenshots that I'll find spread throughout the various faction sites and forums.

Why don't you guys just go by patch *Insert Patch #* I personally do not like them beign called Update *X*. But that isn't important.

All I got to say is....sexy. lol, THe best part has to be the cinematic.

:smileyhappy:Sorry to post again!!! Im so anxious! Im gonna take sleeping pills to make the night go faster!!

   You know, there's a difference between reading about something and seeing it for yourself.  I wouldn't get too excited, or your expectations might rise above what the patch has.

"hammering this puppy"

...Dude... thats just wrong...

Yes, lets hope that in these patch notes there is no Typos or errors

Well about time with the auto-stack BITS option. Seeing tho this feature was suppose to be in the game all along it has taken far to long to get into game. When is the current 500 item limit for the Loading Area going to be addressed. Auto-stack does help but as time goes on more and more 'stuff' from EVENTS (yeah I made a funny) and stuff add to the current LA inventory.

Signal Boosters now work, haHA I remember the great MxO.Twitch posting what they did and they were working. Pity no correction ever came on that one.

Pandora's Box ... groups of 6 30+ sounds interesting. Item only usuable in Downtown. It take it the Dev's don't visit Downtown on client side .... hope LAG is fixed as you've made an item that can't be practically used in game.

Coder changes and tweaks, 'bout time and welcome with auto stack and auto generation welcomed changes. More accurate timer indications.

Now we need to fix /afk is that working? and make a /coding animation for people!

Overal if it added and features that are listed are actually in game and work it will be a good step forward!!

Well, this is the kind of Updates and customer support I've come to expect from SOE.



By that of course I'm refering to the fact that I can't get online. I'm
assuming this infinite client mismatch problem is SOE's idea of an
update.



Ya know, reduce lag by keeping anyone from logging in.

well at least some progress...im now getting 'incompatible client
version' when i try and login and using 'full system check' dosent work
so im guessing there updating summit



anytime soon now i reckon 

:smileyvery-happy: lol yea, that, or we could be tuck with incompatible client versions for the next 4 hours too LOL. :smileymad:

Don't keep saying negative stuff some of us are dieing ^^ lol

I get the same message hehehe.

Hope it is a message of progress.

A positive one hehe.

I think my eyes will pop out of their eyesockets anytime soon.

So if it takes too long it wont matter cause my eyeballs will be floating in my beer hahaha.

Well on the positive side of things I sure hope my eyes love the beer i have served for them hehe

Hopefully it wont take forever. And I sure hope Vector will be up first

Darn .. Another 30 minutes according to Walrus.

That is it... my eyes are popping!!!!!!!!!!

OMG this is annoying, now it downloads another launcher update and still says incompatible client version...bla bla bla.

*dispenses free uppers for everyone*

We gonna need them. cause this is gonna take a whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeee

OK, now I got a server list again.....still down. LMAO this is torture. :smileyvery-happy:

LIES LIES LIES LOL

hey guys, i told you already that it would delayd my geuses are that about 12:00 the servers running

Hehe, its pointless to guess... maybe ill go into work for a while instead lol, it might actually be less boring than sitting here

Still getting the Incompatible version, Wait as i typed this it's updated and all servers down !

dude... you got that far??? I´m still getting that incompatible client mumbo jumbo

Yeah.. we know It is sad.....

I've only just baught the game today aswell and have been wanting to
play it since my mate kept talking about it last nite lol

I guess I'm the only one that's not multi-orgasmic over this new patch.

Don't get me wrong; the improvements for coders are great, there are lot of needed bug fixes, and Pandora's Box finally gives high-level players something to do other than hack each other to death in mindless PvP.

But, since I'm not high-level (still in the 20's), and I'm not a coder, these improvements are pretty much lost on me.

Oh, well, far be it from me to spoil the fun.  I hope the rest of you enjoy the improvements.

This is why I try to restrain myself from joining in the 15 pages of pre-patch exuberance about how great it is.



This, right now, is how great it is. I mean, am I to expect the update
to work right if they can't manage to pull off just putting on the
servers for us to download.



On the positive side though, if it delivers what it promises I'll be pleased to see it.



Maybe now they can work on that backlog of cheater and exploiter reports they've been ignoring.

Hey we're up to "Admins Only" stage....lol can't be long now.  :smileytongue:
