Just curious...  I was checking out all my rare clothing on the QA, and I noticed that the Partisan Jacket became royally useless...  (the Partisan Jacket was a Zion only item from the Hunt for Morpheus event from the Zion collector)
I wish I were at home to give you the exact buffs it has now, but it has about 6 things that it buffs 1 point each.
Was this intentional, or was it a piece of clothing that got missed?

Ah, well...  I don't really use it that much now, but I still like to pull it out from time to time when I get nostalgic about being in Zion.  SMILEY

Kind of off-topic, but I ran a mission yesterday where I was ordered to 'Kill Regulus'!!  Sorry, bud.  SMILEY

Sorry but those changes are a slap n the face for anyone
that worked hard for that jacket and other stuff.  Maybe you
should add this into the unique Items Thread

These ones I might actually go through and buff back up a little bit. The problem is that they have no min level required, which under the new system limits what you can do with them... but then rarebit just came up with something that actually might take that into account... so, yeah, I'll probably do a little something more with these before we ship, or very soon after.

How come the Merv's don't get any super cool Merv only jackets?
#35600000672 03/15/2006 10:31:05 Re: Partisan Jacket
We did.  Cashmere overcoat.  Unfortunately I never could get all the documents required.

Yeah. I remember that we complained because our corrupted spawns stopped after day 2, leaving us without the chance to get the Coat and the Spray Bug.

Well on Linenoise (I think that event was before the merge anyhow!) the spawns for getting the Spray only lasted 2 hours. Never did get even a single document for that one as I was asleep when the spawns started and then got turned off! As for the clothing, it wasn't restricted to orgs - anyone could trade to any collector and just get what they wanted. I got the Merv silk beret, Zion's Partisan Jacket and the Machines' Gigahertz Shoes. I wanted the Overclocked suit jacket but never could get it =(
#35600000680 03/16/2006 09:05:12 Re: Partisan Jacket
Yeah, Chuui, but at Method The Merovingian affiliated players didn't got any spawn the last two days of the event.
The Jacket was one of the items whose documents were organization specific and I was respectful of other organization spawns at the time, as I wanted to get the whole Merovingian set SMILEY

I never had trouble with org specific drops, I got all my drops from my own spawns. But I do understand your problem - seems the spawn system was really fragged at that time and in different ways on all the servers =/
#35600000755 03/24/2006 13:55:24 Re: Partisan Jacket
i got a decent sampling on day 1 but did not get a full set, nor fly virus immunity. i definately think these items were way underpowered
#35600000768 03/25/2006 21:21:14 Re: Partisan Jacket
yeah back in the day I also missed all the spawns and never got any of those items.....I did look at them and I wasnt gonna use them anyways....but me not getting the Fly Virus Immunity pissed me off

Just 2 more documents I need for Cashmere, now if only they could put those documents in that new historical mission system... hmmm
#35600000771 03/25/2006 23:42:52 Re: Partisan Jacket
Only problem is, those vendors don't offer those items anymore...

o good..... ??? :smileyindifferent:
#35600000781 03/26/2006 18:13:34 Re: Partisan Jacket
You get EMCP codes from a Merovingian critical (third one, I believe), and can trade them in for the devices.  When used, it kills all commandos in a 10m radius, and takes all of those not in the blast radius down to 10% health.
