Good bye DT lag, it was fun while it lasted.... NOT! 
The virus is spreading...
Looks like this is gonna be one hell of a time

" Data Miners have located odd objects at the center of each outbreak; however, we have lost contact with all Operatives dispatched to investigate."
Yikes!
Yikes!
This is gonna be good.
Hooray for the return of Smithy!
Schweet!
I better get my paper done tonight so I can beat that *CENSORED* Smith Virus all day tomorrow!!
*nods*
Wow. Super special awesome Smith event, obliteration of downtown lag, AND longer archive animations? Yes! Well done guys!
No, I'm Smithicus!
(Sorry, had to be done.)
(Sorry, had to be done.)
I find it hard to believe that people think this game isn't getting better with updates like this.
Where is the ability fix. How can we fight whatever overcomes us if our abilities aint working properly?

I am sure it has happened to me before update 50.... hmmm... something in update 50 must be increaseing the rate it happens.
oooh, servers are down and just had my update. which means a whole lotta Smith related fun is on the way. i predict lots of people digging out their prophet dusters - just gave mine a quick spring clean 
Hail for the dethroned god!
Awesome-ness.
And the timer increase on the FX rewards is great! But why not 600 secs? Come on we deserve it!
Why won't luggables drop once I kill a player who has one? I thought that was the whole idea of a luggable, but instead that person can wait their entire reconstruct timer for one of their unflagged friends to rez them. This doesn't seem fair to me.

Best. Patch. Ever.

o.O
erm.... if its best patch, why would you cancel? or am I missing something.
Unless something else is gonna happen later on, I gotta say Im also dissapointed with this "event". The 9 basic tshirts are all pretty lame, and the 10th rare smith one looks horrible imo.
This was ... inevitable
And I'm glad to see the duration of the rewards is doubled! Thanks, team!

no patch notes in launcher.

ugh....
Straight off the bat you can tell there was no work being done for the two year event. Only real cool thing was the downtown lag being fixed.
This is the winter event all over again , just different coding in the stream. Same lame Mission where your going toward a mission and either 3 (1 chevy) smith agents spawn ,2 (2 chevy) smith virus spawns or 1 (3 chevy) smith virus spawn. Only to talk to the oracle to give you Oracle brownies,Oracle dosint make brownies /lame. Also , T-shirts arent all that great , their just Security shirts with different letters. /lame.
Postives : 2min timer on the duration of your Archive rewards *2 thumbs up* And No more lag in downtown.
Negative : No work done . /copy ; /paste Winterevent2007

Fighting the Smiths was pretty cool, even if they look nothing like the actual character, just the lame disguise texture with a flame virus added to it. Oh well, me and my friends are still gonna have fun taking over the city.

ugh....I agree man. The t-shirts were a MAJOR letdown. You would have figured that for something like THE RETURN OF AGENT SMITH would have warranted cooler reward items, but nay. But hey, you can't expect too much with this game, right?

There are two (2) weeks worth of anniversary fun, you have only seen one day of it....
How about complaining about it when it's finished?
You have no idea what's in store for the coming weeks...
You never know, the Dev's may be keeping something up their sleeves.... If they have them...

tbh, I really thought the 10th shirt was finally gonna be an agents shirt/suit jacket, and the female version of it, at least that woulda been worthwhile to get.

3) nothing in store? Ive been in this game from the beggining , and let me tell you...im not expecting much. Maybe a dev MIGht actualy get on a character and name him Smith. Then go around killing people , making them him smithlings *like the movie* and then everyone will be flagged.
4)Again , i wont expect the devs to do anything.
If they do , then ive been proven wrong. But i have yet to be proven wrong when it comes to events like this.
Ive seen people log on that i havent seen since cr1 Just to see the 2 year event.This could of been mxo big break through but i dont think sony saw that and didn't realy try.

Well, like I said there are still 2 weeks left, I for one hope you will get proven wrong this time. Nothing against what you have said, you've obviously been here longer than I have, and thus have had extensive experience. I agree that this could be MxO's biggest marketing call since inception. I just hope that, in addition to what is going on now, after only one day, there may be a delicious surprise in store for us all....

- I love the luggable and I forgive the glitch regarding the hunting down of luggables.
- I love the Smith Virus, you oughta see the Nasty Smiths I have made in the Creston Dungeon or in Blood Disciples in Westview... Fun Fun Fun!!
- I love seeing some folks I have not seen in a year. Folks logging in and having fun again.
- SOE need to SCREAM to the gaming world about us. Yes I mean SCREAM!!!
- We as players need to be blogging the game.
- I want to see TV advertising! Bet we can get more folks!
Lets see?

mind you, I doubt the crazy cost of putting ads on TV would be less than the profit made from whatever meager amount of subscribers the game managed to pick up through such advertising.
true, dat.

Found a bug with the luggables and data miner.
If someone jacks out while holding a luggable, the lugg does not drop and any data miner using the handheld will get a waypoint to where the person jacked out at.

I confirm this bug.

boy were you right lmao actually, a lot of people guessed this, myself being one of them. I, like a lot of people, were hopeful at first, but it was a vague kind of hope, not really expecting much. When you don't have a lot of money and only one dev doing the live events, something as big as the smith virus was turned into random npc spawning events plus a rare lv100 smith virus. And, no surprise here, no good loot on any of the lv60 smithlings, just frags and info and, for the most part, lv40 gear. Yay.
When you take something as popular and widely regarded as story canon as the Smith Virus and downscale it to unbelievable levels, that's when you know a game has no future. New items are just re-textured recycles of old items, new static content is introduced wayyyyy to rarely, and the storyline is still something only a diehard could love. I don't know what kind of audience SoE is adhering too, but it's not one that's very lucrative. Like a lot of people have said, this could have been the one thing to finally get this game some attention, but sony, as usual, ignored it.

This is ironic. This is the same idea I have to bring back my character......
