Hah! The Luggable Prophecy is true. And this...
"In an ongoing slash-command theme: We're also adding a couple other commands that will interest some people. The /getdescription command will show you what your current description says. The one you'll really like is /setdescription, which will change your description to the text you input after the command."
Yes. YES!
Also, Zombies!

Holy fudge Batman! ZOMBIES!
YES! YES YES YES! YES YES Y-E-S! I love this! You have made this Friday the 13th the best yet Walrus!
Everything sounds awesome.
Except for the inevitable fad of zombie RP.
You know it'll happen.

Looking glass says they'll be uber rare and constant.
I have to say im actually starting to have a bad feeling about this, i just dont like the sounds of another 'elite end game' item. We need something all players can enjoy. Something thats fun and not a chore or rare or overly hard or that will be agressively competed over.
The potentials there, please please please don't waste it.
CTF...

CQ doesn't really have any more purpose then it used to, it's just now people can see it. I'll be happy when they can fix the bugs with cq.
Or they add the ranking table to DN1 (what ever happened to that?)

Rarebit mentioned the /frags command might be in Update 48 as well. I hope it makes it in.
*speaks into wrist*
Yes, that's right, zombies. Call in 'G'. We're gonna need some backup.
*realizes that there's nothing on his wrist*
*takes out a shotgun instead*
Time to light up the city. Again.
And THAAAANK you for the Details update. Now I won't seem like an Ookami perv anymore. XD

All that sounds really wonderful.

This is the first time in a long time im feeling postive about this game.
Giving a point to PvP<-----slap me i must be dreaming.
Haloween event last year was amazing, this year should be amazing but please dont let the Gargoyle mask be droppable, i think only people who were here last year shud be allowed to have it, atleast then youre rewarding long term players.
Well I'm happy that the new masks and the new old masks are not obtained in the same manner. But, are the Zombies set up to avoid "Ninja-looting" in the same manner that the JOL spawns of last year were set up? It's pretty nice to know that the old masks and the new masks are going to be distinguished by date too.
/CQ I don't care about myself. I have 30 CQ give or take, all of it awarded due to bugs in the game. But I can only see the so called "Smack talk" already casting a negative light on gameplay getting worse now that every one will be able to see every one else's CQ score.... I guess we'll just see the inevitable increase in harassment topics centering around pointless feuds connected to a pretty much meaningless CQ score. *sigh*

Yeah, this all sounds very nice. 
... I just can't wait until it starts lol
I do like, but at the same time have a nagging voice in the back of head, the fact luggables won't be able to leave the matrix. Should see an increase in on foot and subway travel, something i've always liked the idea of. Something else cool would be for it to limit ya hyperjump in some way. That'd be swish.
I can just see the luggables things being very delicate. As long as the team work hard to get it just right then it'll be fine but any sort of nagging problem and i can see it going to hell.
And i spose if its not CTF thats ok since the testing and experience in the field will have been gained. Luggables seems just a step down from CTF meaning it'll be easier for the team to create when they do end up doing it... And when we have instanced areas.
Will the zombies spawn on you like the unlimits are right now or would we find them wandering the streets because I think the latter would be better. That way we can search for them instead of waiting for them to come, which would just get people fighting them in one location like Mara central.
If the zombies become popular maybe they could become a new exile type we find in missions so we can see and fight them again. After all they were originally meant to be in the game.
Based on something I saw Rarebit talking about in 'AADv2' we may even see the Zombies replacing all the normal gang spawns (as the loot tables can apparently be set to allow for the zombies to still drop access node cards and so on). If you recal the "Race for the One" event, you'll remember that Red Eyed agents replaced all the gang spawns, but at that time, the loot tables hadn't been set to drop access cards and so on. But this time, they should remember to allow them to drop if that's the way they intend to deploy the zombies....
*speechless from the awesomeness*
YAY BRAINiFIED, CQiFIED, WEIRD MASKiFIED, CHANGING DETAILiFIED THIS IS A GREAT PATCH

Still no word on that quick start guide...
Q) THe masks given out last year will have "v" on them, and they can be looted this year as well, when we loot them will it have a "v" coz they came out in 05, or a "vi" because they were looted this year
EXTREAMLY nice patch, i cant wait.

I hope all masks looted this year have a VI, that way us who actually kept our V masks will still have rare collectors items while the content is also made available to all.

Sweet, this is going to be great.

And to answer whoever else it was, no, I'm not going to leave the old ones with the old icons, 'cause that would mean I'd have to make copies of the old ones each year and update all the loot tables, and after a couple more years it would just get ridiculous. So no.
Oh, they can all be stacked and traded.

Not sure if Rare or Walrus will read this, but your forum ranks experiment has a little hitch.
I'm sure someone on the team has noticed this, but just in case you're all too busy with important stuff, all of the live event characters are now "Coppertops". That seems...not correct.

A lot of very positive stuff in this edition, luggables and the cq visibility will make a lot of people very happy and Halloween looks to be fun.
Are there any plans to review how cq's are granted?
