One thing that isn't listed up there and it's been said from beta they look more grey than black is: Black plain slacks. I was dissapointed not to see them up there but glad they have gave some of the clothing a look over.

They blackened the black plain slacks in the last patch.
Check em out.

#34800000727 02/10/2006 01:24:57 Re: PATCH 41 NOTES
Yeah, that's why they're making everything darker, because they already had so many complaints that the black slacks were really gray that they fixed them, but then everything else still looked gray :smileyhappy:
#34800000728 02/10/2006 02:09:00 Re: PATCH 41 NOTES
The big question now is: when will they fix the rest of the clothes so their names actually match what you get? "White" clothing that is actually nearer black for example should be white =P

I stand corrected.

I remember Awaken Radio say that there were people in black missioning around SObra a bout 3 months ago. This is what they were talking about?

Bleach won't give us Black Sector Sunglasses though :smileysad:

And I don't mean shiny Sector Sunglasses that have a slight black tint to them. I mean fully black Black Sector Sunglasses, like what the White Sector Sunglasses used to look like.

*points to his RSI in his sig*

That's what they should look like.

Yeah, it's still there, closed my browser, opened it again, reloaded the page, opened the article, reloaded the article... it's still there.

Also, I wouldn't worry about missing the crits yet. There's no announcement about shutting down the servers. I think the last time they posted the notes, they didn't actually implement the patch for a few days.

But maybe I'll sneak in tonight and do my criticals, just to be on the safe side....:smileyhappy:

Weird i dont have it in my list anymore.  Also whenever they gonna do the update, you better finished any remaining crits coz once the update is implemented, any remaining crits will be gone. It happened on my other alt doing the first crit of 3.3, but i havent played it for a while.  when i started the crits..crits started with 4.1 already
#34800000744 02/10/2006 00:16:31 Re: PATCH 41 NOTES
Yes, but they will eventually implement the Critical Mission Archives using the completion tokens from an entire chapter, so we can go back and do ones that we missed.

Recall Mission Team and Recall Team Member Fix
Recall Mission Team and Recall Team Member now properly teleport players to the user's location. (Note: These Abilities are not intended to allow movement between Districts or Constructs. For example, you cannot Recall a player from Downtown to International.)


Whoa , are they telling us as long as you are in international or downtown, you can now be recalled in there! I get how you cant from 1 distrcit to another though, but thats ok, its workable.... use trainlines etc

if so awesome! helping with HL's and Nodes will be much easier now SMILEY

nice update, im happy not to see CR2 yet, will be testing myself again more now...

and yay for more black clothes!

Patch is due out on the 14th Feb, same time as CR2.0.....
As for the Recall... you cant recall from district to district because the Coordinates overlap... so dome Downtown Coords are the same as some International.. its always been that way SMILEY
Glad to hear theyve sorted out all the crashing etc... will be good to get back to playing the way it was before 40...
#34800000752 02/10/2006 06:42:22 Re: PATCH 41 NOTES
I doubt Cr 2.0 will be out on the 14th. They have made extremely great progress with update 5 but I don't think it will make that soon.
#34800000753 02/10/2006 06:56:04 Re: PATCH 41 NOTES
I'm liking where things are headed. Machines  (and Mervs) being attacked by red pills in black clothing. That's not going to help the truce overly much.

More critical missions are always good in my books.

The cinematic isn't going to be flash yet is it? Should still be two more normal cinematics if I'm correct? I vaguely remember seeing Rarebit and/or Walrus post saying  flash cinematics would appear beginning with chapter 5. Looking forward to stills of them though which Walrus mentioned

this isn't zion's doing. they are humans but not taking orders from zion.

I'm pretty sure the "men in black" mentioned in the patch notes are the new E Pluribus Neo operatives. People may assume it's Zion, of which they are Zionites, but they're not taking orders from Zion Command. These new people belonging to E Pluribus Neo are going to be causing a lot of trouble for those who follow Niobe and Zion Command - we've got a bad enough rap as it is.


#34800000757 02/10/2006 07:23:06 Re: PATCH 41 NOTES

In response to Symmetric:

Who doesn't know that? But I mean, how can you be so sure that is the situation. It is probably correct but it is never too safe to assume so quickly.

((As for the organization beign called E Pluribus Neo, maybe it won't be called exactly that since that is info in the game files is it not? Game files aren't always given proper and specific names))

Oh, I totally agree. Considering the nature of this game, it's never safe to assume anything!

As for the name E Pluribus Neo, it's just what everyone has been using. It made a brief appearance on the QA server during Beta, and with lack of further evidence, it's just the name we've been using until the official announcement of their name has been made (which I still believe is going to be E Pluribus Neo).

I just worry that people will throw these new E Pluribus Neo people into the already overgeneralized "Zion" name. They, much like those who support Niobe's endeavors, do not represent Zion Command. I look forward to the org splits so that a clearer definition of these orgs and the people who belong to them can be made.

Alright, then we'll settle on calling them Neo Fanboys SMILEY  Just kidding guys, the real storyline for them will give them a reason to be E Pluribus Neo I'm assuming...I dont think it'd just be a group recruiting based on the fact that their members are "I LUV NEO!!111!! HES SOOO KEWL!" haha

Actually, the name E Pluribus Neo wasn't in the name of a folder, but in an actual file. Cryptos basically said they're idiots. So they will have the same name. And I think this is the group AWR was talking about in Monolith's final event.

sounds like the Kid is showing his face, at least from the  survalence image I saw. It could be a different group. But its based on assumption. I guess we'll see won't we?
I'm curious to see for myself, because the Kid has his own ajendas (like Morpheus). Possibly because of the ship he's on...

They said that recall team will only work if both people are in the same District. Eg. You're in downtown and you can recall a fellow teammate that is in downtown. You're in downtown and you cannot recall a fellow teammate that is in richland.
