Fixed typo should read update 46 hehehe
*CENSORED*, BEST UPDATE EVER!!!, LOVE IT ALLL!!! OMG CANT WAIT!!!
Rewards emailed to ourselves if no inventory space? I thought thats what the whole /claim thing was about? 
Sweet.
Well, I'm 50/50 on this one. One one side, there's a lot of nice new content and cool stuff.
However, what's being done to critical missions is absolutely unnacceptable.
"$info is no longer awarded for completing critical missions that you have already completed."
Well, that's wonderful. It fixes the Meet X sploit, but that wasn't that much of a big deal anyway - there are faster ways to make money. Now as a side effect though, you're both penalizing players for having done critical missions before the Archives came out, and rewarding people who grinded through the Archives without paying attention to the content. It's necessary to do each mission in the Archives several times to get all the items, and now, besides not getting any XP for it, I won't be getting any info either? Please. It was bad enough doing all that missioning where the reward was a 30 second effect or a clothing item, but now if I happen to want one of those items I don't already have, I have to grind for hours on end AND get absolutely NO info for it? You're kidding me. One of the biggest complaints I've heard lately is how so much content is delivered in grinds. I guess it was deemed a good decision to make the grinds even more painful and less worthwhile? Sigh...

Sounds like a good Update.......only 6 days to wait 
/sighs
/sighs Awesome..got some exploit fixes.
It makes sense to me Bayamo. I'm a Merv, and I actually missed some of the Merv criticals. So I can go back, beat them, and get the info & xp for it. However, if I go back to a critical I've been awarded in the past, I don't get a double reward (only the progression toward the Archive loot, which is the purpose of the archival missions in the first place). Its just like as if I ran a critical with one of my faction members, beat it, got my reward. Its still going to show up in my critical missions, and I still have to beat it. However, the payout is withheld because I got it already. Its just another check on an exploit.
I'm currently doing the Machine org missions, and I'm getting my payouts. That's all I care about. If it was being withheld on missions I've never done in the first place, then I'd be pissed.
This patch sounds like its chock full of content for the 50s which is absolutely great news. Give those guys something to do.
Maybe next patch, we can go back and give some of the lowers more content to do (guys around *ahem* Level 3
?
I'm such a slacker. Great work devs!

Dead Redpills Flag no PvP
You can no longer become flagged for PVP while you are dead.
ABOUT F***EN TIME!!!
This is going to be an awsome patch!
You'd have thought they'd have coded up some sort of system to detect whether the crit is an archive one or not. If it is, then it should pay out info no matter how many times run. Same goes for XP. And yes, they can already distinguish between current missions and archived ones... hence the [archived...] tag at the front when the controller talks to you...
You may no longer initiate interlock for 5 seconds after withdrawing from it.
A great addition! I really hope this applies to NPC's as well
--------------
Pandora's Box Mission-Spawn Changes
Pandora box missions with high NPC numbers were causing significant amounts of lag--the ~30 NPCs per phase of the final mission were likely the cause of most of the mysterious, intermittent lag in north-central Downtown. NPC counts in the following Pandora's Box missions have been reduced; : arc 2, mission 2, "Walking Papers"; arc 3, mission 1, "A Key for Every Lock"; arc 4, mission 3, "Trial By Fire". In most cases, the level of the remaining NPCs has been increased by one.
Has the info reward for those mission stages been adjusted per NPC to compensate for the reduction in numbers?
----------------------------------
Dead Redpills Flag no PvP

Means nothing for Vector, but at least we won't see HL ganking or Rez ganking.
---------------------------------------
New "Prop Vendors"
Something Rarebit told us about, this is great, in particular for some of us with more events planned 
--------------------
Zero One Soldiers and the Zero One Taskmaster have new loot drops. A new collector in Downtown may be interested
This just added so much more content as well as pvp action, you have no idea ty!
-----------------------------------
*Does a happy dance*
Whoo, new taskmaster drops, hallways, bug fixes, prop sellers and, most importantly...
Emotes (/e [text] command) now work correctly. !!!!1!!!!1!!1111

Don't forget that ignore works now, as well. xD
whats the deal with the # of items you can carry that give you XP & info for trading in items? 1 or multiple?
I just forsee a possible problem with factions that I won't list here. But no matter what, 01 will become THE place to be from now on for pvp...with a meaning. great job.

Few good stuff but no DE bug fixed which is really affecting PvP at least MoTD it because ive only recently realized about this bug and it explains for many of my losses. Also no find weakness bug fixed.
This is going to be the best update evah! I call the Area K Trench first! I will wake up at 6:00 AM just so I can get it. 
Yes...
YESSS.
Best update ever... Thank you, devs. Thank you.

Yes it's all good except the mission info being taken away. So like myself i grinded through all the archive missions and i have the fly virus stuff. Now im starting to go through them again to get the Merv item coat. Im not getting xp as im 50 anyway but now the info for each mission is going to be gone too, its not really fair on the people who want to try and get the items. They still have to go through them missions like normal ones and kill the npcs and do the hard work, so what is the difference between that and a normal mission info reward.
Very Harsh

this patch sounds sick. i cant wait. *CENSORED* my m-f job.. *CENSORED* it to hell. zion, dont even bother running to 01, mechs+mervs will own it. =D

I think it will work like the Archive books, so if you buy a Machine one and then turn Zion, you won't be able to use it. Remember, these things take you to a specific org area via a specific mission. So they would have to be three different objects to activate three different missions.

What exactly do these White Hallways do for me that makes them worth 100M? I'm guildless and don't really have an interesting in joining a crew. In fact, I have crew invites on auto ignore. So as an individual, what benefit does this give me? I don't think there's that many idiots around who will spend 100M on fluf, so this better do something worth the credits.
Hm....would you be able to bring people from other orgs with you to the constructs? If it's triggered by mission....well, you get the idea.
He that holds the key is key. He who holds nothing balances everything. He who died lives. He who is no one is within everyone. He who seeks will be lost. He that blinds will falter. He who believes will be betrayed. He who stands united will disperse.

Oh, snap... I posted my reply to the original thread...
Anyway...
as I tried to post before...
Can we get a confirmation that the keys will cost 100mil... I think that was the last number Rarebit provided... but I had once heard it was 50mil... and before that 100mil...

The last word from Rarebit that I had seen, was that it would be very expensive. But he did not give a number...*CENSORED* play on words.........BAD RAREBIT!!!!!!!!!!

I totally understand the reason why... but i'm very sad. *sighs* i was looking forward to this weekend.
Get it fixed super quick then surprise us with an update tommorow.
Stay late if you can fix it before the weekend.
Thx for keeping us informed walrus. That makes the blow that much easier :p
I can live with the delay ... only because the DE is fixed!!! This is so great!!!!
Oh man this is sad 
But it's better that bugs is getting fixed before the final release!
Heard update is to be delayed...came close to leaving, heard they will have a fixed DE...gave me back some hope. Find out some of the bugs are not repaired or yet new more annoying and upsetting bugs arrive, say good bye to Twaggy. So I hope you get this update right guys, I don't wanna leave but I will if I get peed off....
No! Bah, I'm on holiday when the patch is going to be released. Great.
Strange, I'm not surprise that the patch is delayed 
anyway there are not gamers to play at MxO with the start of the new school year. Le patch should have to come out during the holiday. Big deception -1
anyway there are not gamers to play at MxO with the start of the new school year. Le patch should have to come out during the holiday. Big deception -1So it turned out by pure luck, I had off work the day of the patch, hooray! But alas, just like in past releases...
You guys decide to delay the patch hours before its sheduled release over one minor detail.
Not Cool.

so they delayed the patch big deal, you should be happy about this. if they didnt delay it yal lwould be compalining about the extra bugs the game would have because they pomised to have it out on a certain date and could not fix the bugs in time, i would be happy that the patch take anotherr 3 months alongs as they fix the bugs and add content that appeals to their customers interests.
Death Effect Bug Fixes
We have fixed the following issues with the Death Effect:
- The Death Effect now only affects Influences (things that give bonuses to Attributes, usually designated by a percentage) and has a maximum penalty of 30%.
- The Death Effect wears off correctly now.
- The Death effect timer no longer resets when you reconstruct and jack in.
Now that is awesome! Thank You Devs!
omgomgomgomgomg
they fixed the de bug?!?
jesus christ im so excited about this patch.
i cant believe im excited about a game patch.
god im a dork
A fix for the De bug is well worth the delay and more....good going guys that one was essential imo.
i agree that the /ccr issue wasnt a good enough reason to delay the update. /bug still works fine i guess.. and most of the time the results of a ccr arent worth the time anyway. just a thought. that having been said, i generally will take delays over bugs any day. a couple days isnt a big deal, so whenever they wanna take a couple days to work out some bugs, thats probly for the best. and this time around we did get a bit of a bonus, they tackled the DE problem.
