Yay for Missions, this update really caught me by surprise.
/TipHat to Rarebit if the soundbug is indeed fixed.
Thanks for more emotes

Holy geez! This was completely unexpected! Huzzah!!!
OMG! Walrus I'd so kiss you right now if I was like that. Actually I'd kiss the entire MxO team, but then I'd seem like a hoe.
I don't think you'd ever come off as a gardening instrument, Roukan.

Whoa...I wasn't expecting this update until at least next week. Teh sweetness! I'm looking forward to seeing where the ending of this chapter takes us.

WOOT!
WOOT!
YAY! :smileyvery-happy:
Whoa, wasn't expecting that!
My alt's name is ShadowKiIIa, with two i's instead of Ls. I hope it's noticeably different, but still looks like an L. :\

wow, certainly wasn't expecting that, now we know why you guys been quiet
awesome!
Great until...
The Master Shadow Ability now has a 30-second cooldown timer and the IS drain has been increased. (Fixes timer exploit.)
And the I'll believe it when I see it (or don't hear it) award goes to...
The looping Hyper Jump sound has been removed.

Yay for Master Shadow fix!

Awesome work! Nothing better than a great patch that sneaks up on ya. 
Nice!
One thing though, why make the beta caps tradable? Doesn't make sense when the rest of the beta gear can't be (and shouldn't be).

Anyone on QA had them, so they aint really "beta" items.
No way this is totally out of the blue. Huzzah to the devs for fixing thay annoying sound loop. Update 43 FTW!!!
Hm, yea, that's true.

That logic doesn't work for me. How is the work done on the QA server different then the work done in Beta?
Shh, Fenny, there's no use trying to reason with people from Beta.
Awesome guys!
I 1st read the Update Notes and thought "Well I wonder when that update is gonna come" and then clicked on and saw it comes in like 2 1/2 hours!
Thanks guys - we always love new stuff!
And Rarebit - if TEH LOOPS are really gonne we will build a statue in your honor - what am I saying - a MONUMENT - the game needs a "Rarebit vs Soundloop Memorial Monument"

Wow, talk about out of the blue. For me this is the best:
You have no IDEA how annoying that bug was ... and now it's fixed. Huzzah!
As for the KickDoor, DrinkBottle, PickUp, Sleep, and TipHat emotes ...
I think RPers and video makers server wide are now even more deeply in
love with you than ever before
Shame the /DrinkBottle probably won't work sitting down
- Changing the team loot setting to Free for All from any other setting now works correctly.

Looks like a great patch, 3 cheers for the devs :smileyhappy:
New chapter, new emotes, new... uh... nomoresoundloopbug.
I'd say this may be my new favorite patch...
- Void

Hell yes!
Way to nerf those smug Master Shadow bastids!
That'll teach 'em! :smileyvery-happy:
Well that was unexpected...But thank god. Story going to be moving thats always good and of course the new emotes
I'd like to get all smug and claim responibility for this, as well as anyone else who spotted it
Some female clothing that incorrectly gave upgrades to Thrown Damage now give it to Thrown Damage Resistance.
Finally, more emotes! I love how this update sneaked up on everyone, too. I wasn't expecting anything like this at all until at least next week.
Question: You fixed a typo for Tyndall, but did you fix the Woman in the Red Dress Bluepill's typo?
"Will you prepared if gravity reversed itself?"
I guess we'll find out!

11:00 GMT means 12:00 BST for UK, and don't expect anything till after 14:00 BST (13:00 GMT). And Sebey, 13:00 GMT is not for another hour! UK isn't on GMT for a few months now.
All I can say is: YES!!!

to salute, without being too formal with a /headbow, or too excited
with a /wave

Russdance rocks, as does plugnose.
Can't help but feel that KickDoor is a slightly slowed down version of a Melee Free Fire kick though

OMGZRZ! Way to go Devs!
DEV TEAM FTW!
Nice on the new patch
Emotes are fun to use and look great
Now the problem, you can't get a mission to show up no matter
where you are. I tried 5 places in all the districts and none of them
allowed any mission from my contact (Zion) Now I did not check the
neighborhood contacts to see if I could get a mission from them.
I bugged it so hopefully it gets fixed soon.
My ears love u rarebit lol
I must say the new emotes are really awesome.
Where's the fairness to paying subscribers?
I've been here since beta, and hackers have been allowed to roam the game, ganking and pawning with impunity. Why is the nerfing always geared to spies? I can understand the bug fix (clearly necessary), but why place a cool down timer AND an extra IS penalty on Shadows. This just doesn't make sense. Shadow strategy has officially been negated on all fronts. Hackers need to be targeted for nerfing, or this game will get boring really quick.
I appreciate the vector nerf, though. I was tired of getting pawned by those guys.
blackvulcan, there was recently an exploit caused by using Master Knife Thrower in conjunction with Master Shadow or something to keep one in a permanent evade mode while being able to attack other players. This is what they fixed.
Check the sticked threads in the General Boards.
~Now that I'm back from school, it's time to dive in! Nobody spoil anything for me! *scans the rest of the forums* Too late! >.<

-Hooked up some new emotes that have been in limbo for a while: RussDance, Kick door, Examine, Drinkbottle, Pickup, Takepill, Plugnose, cough, Righton, sleep and Tiphat should all work.
-Changing the team loot setting to Free for All from any other setting now works correclty.
Those two make baby Avat's happy
Very happy! Now we just need a Top gun high five!
