"disaster" is fairly accurate at this point.
not on all servers.
Cinematic - best handdrawn ever, truly epic
First crit (machine) - not bad.
Luggables - cool, people seem to like them.
Corrupted Quest - Broken, difficult, tedious, and boring. :
- Difficulty in getting spawns
- Difficulty in killing said spawns
- Difficulty in collecting drops from aforementioned spawns (Nonstackable items)

My two cents,
Loved the cinematic,
Zion mission ended on a bit of a cliffhanger that's got me wondering what next (inspite of my current indoor lag issues from this poorly built nVidia card),
Luggables are working pretty good, don't think I've gotten any kind of glitch with them yet,
Corrupted Spawns, not bad (I'm on Syntax) as far as people complaining about the system, it amazes me. The volume of kills and difficulty of killing that level 100 thing strikes me as no different than the whole Taskmaster wash rinse repeat for the Area K at relatively the same difficulty. The only real difference is the minispawns scale to your level, ergo it's slightly easier for the lower levels to get involved. C'Mon people stop giving the devs flak over this, get a team together and go for it. Want to throw some PvP action in there to make it more of a challenge, someone grab a luggable. My only gripe thus far is the lack of stacking for the decaying code, which I assume is either going to be addressed in a hotfix or dealt with later. For the time being just fire the things off in a mail to yourself.
Seriously, I just don't understand this community some days...
Devs, I give you a thumbs up for this one.

Not to be repititive but vector has not seen a spawn.
Wasteland Corrupted Encounter :
Everyone is mad about the whole thing. Do something. Because many of us wait for the next patch to see if they are going to stay or not. With this way they are leaving. And i am one of the many that want to keep this game alive.
Listen to us. Do something.
- Devs need to fix this. Every player is mad with this thing. I haven't see so many topics for the same thing.
- You should make it like the holiday event (Missions) for the Wasteland Corrupted and like Halloween Event for the corrupted. It will be better for everyone.
- If you do what i say in 3rd then you have to spawn Corrupted every 5 mins for every player.
- Or you can lower the lvl of Wasteland Corrupted. It is too difficult to kill.
- Or you can spawn these things every 10 mins in a different location (Of course inside Bathary Row)

Hey be happy they are not level 255 like they were during the Assassin event. Besides the long wait on spawn timers I think every thing is going well.
I can't speak for how the new features have been implemented as I can't get in-game, but the update itself rocks my decent excuse for a world. Assuming everything works (which, uh, it looks like it doesn't - but it'll be fixed soon, I'm sure!), we've got a new quest, new luggables (that was a nice surprise), a simply brilliant cinematic (seriously, seeing that Sentinel swarm made me so proud to be a Machinist) and some very sexy bugfixes. Finally we can loot those idiot NPCs who get stuck in doorways!
Let's just hope they fix the quest issues. After that, everything'll be just dandy.

Anyone notice dual pistol execution's range has been pumped? I swear it wasnt the same as barrage before.
Its scary when things are getting changed without patch notes.

Hm, i have yet to try out the currupted quests. I hope you're wrong though.
Corrupted quest will be fine once they fix the timers.
My overall thoughts is as follows:-
Cinematic
Fantastic, one of the best we have ever had.
Luggables
I loved these, as it adds pvp in other areas on carebear servers at least. It's also got good buffs.
Corrupter
Heap Of *poop*
Choppers
Man looks like we went back to the 70s with these things.
Commandos Gone
Shame, like all enemies I will miss em, especially the Elites.
Smoke Bomb and Vanish need an invisibility belt.
I'm not a spy so not really anything to me.
Machinegun Fist Combo now removes one buff.
Good fix here, needed this one for a while.
Area Heals now only work with team
Another good update, I hate 50 peeps getting heals in pvp.
Overall a neat and tidy patch, I have not gone into details about corrupted but what I said is true.

Since nobody else has bothered to say it, for whatever reason:
Dear MxO Development Team,
Thank you. Thank you for making the corruptor spawn times so infrequent. Thank you for making the corruptor quest operate in such a way that prevents everyone from attaining all the high level gear by the end of the day of the patch.
I look forward to more stuff like this in the future.

- Cinematic - Awesome Stuff there, they really bring the story alive..
- Patch Missions ETC. - In general i was sceptical at first, it seems there were a lot of thread's popin up about the timers bugging but. it is a pain to have to wait i guess. but i am sure it will be fixed in time with a hotfix. Once the Npc's actually spawned i found it a lot of fun killin em ... the Level 100's will be a pain to kill but i think its the way it should be. having new items easily obtainable is a waste of time because it kills the content in a few days.
- Luggables - I like the luggables, There seems to be a bit of competition in getting them too.. which is nice to see as it add's a new element to PvP. I liked the use of the different effects on them too...
- T3H SKY ! - It was like jacking into a new matrix lol.. the Red sky was pretty cool for a while but made everything a little dark. its nice to see the Full colours of the game again.
- Helicopters - lol old skool right there.. pretty cool looking though.. the look like something that a TV station would have.
Over all the patch may have a bug or two in it, but its Expected really.. anything and everything can go wrong. and it never goes wrong till the last moment.
I like the luggables.
I wanted to like the Corrupted stuff...however its just tedious. The poor drop rate+massive amounts of inventory needed [and I dont mean 400, I mean 40], its just..bleh.

On the subject of helicopters, there's a bit of a problem. Even though the General's choppers are gone, the "The System is a Lie" pamphlets continue to appear.
It says the System is a lie? I thought it said the Sunsets were a lie. Hmm...

Dracomet said they are working on the fix that makes it so that these decaying codes stack.
However, I am still getting Corrupted Code Frags, which are decaying codes with MESSAGES from the Death of the Destroyer event that can not be traded but can be uploaded or lost after reconstruction.

I am posting my disagreement with the non-Team Patcher area heals being restricted to team members. Restore Group 1.0 and Physician should not be affected because they are not under that segment of Patcher. When will area heals affect sims?

Umm whats wrong with you people(SOE)??Make it harder plz!!!We cant even kill a lvl 70 and now we have to kill a lvl 100!!!!!!Brilliant.......

Outstanding work 
- Cinematic is the best so far.
- Mission: Nice plot but a bit short (long crits FTW
)
- Luggables: Great - adds a bit of a CTF component to the game
- Corrupted Quest: Kewl thing. I dont exactly want that headgear but the pwnage is great

I think the difficulty is fine. Someone with a life will probably be able to participate in around 4 spawns per day, averaging 15 frags per spawn. It will take them approximately a week to get the top tier item which sounds about right. What I'm worried about is killing the big guys 5 times in order to get the other codes, it will take a lot of insecticides and coordination. If you're not part of a big faction or aren't the kind of player who can form 2 teams of players purely to kill the lvl 100 NPCs then you're going to have a hard time getting the other 5 parts.

I was hoping that the corrupter quest would revolve around getting 1-3 people or so, going to a warehouse in Bathary, and having mini corruptors (the corrupted bluepills) spawn quickly on each player - like the zombies in the halloween event. I thought it would take ages to get all the stuff, but it'd be fairly interesting.
I wasn't hoping for a quest that would involve getting more players than above (most of the population of a server it seems) to wait in places in Bathary, at random, for hours, trying to get a spawn, whilst needing 40 free inventory slots again and again to make corrupted archives. Geez. A great range of gameplay for levels 30-50 they say. Blah.
Other than the corruptor encounter quest, I think nearly everything else in the update has worked how I wanted it to.
I did notice that when attacking the Bathary Boys mobs, some of them, as normal, were patchers. They tried to heal each other, but with the new 'have to be in a party' thing, they did the 'casting' effect, but nothing happened.
Ah well, fairly good patch, but please fix the timers for those of us who are in different timezones to most, don't have enough contacts to get enough people organised together for a spawn, or without hours to spend doing nothing, just waiting, when we could be having fun on other games.

Oh you're fine with getting everything easy, lol, you LOVE grinding lowbies...
Anyways, the only problem I see is that the codes don't stack which makes it really hard for lvl 50's, especially those who like to use multiple disciplines (clothing) or the collectors...to have enough room to even get ahold of an archive. Other than that I think it's a nice change to have people gathering in other parts of the city (Bathory pvp FTW , and to have a decent challenge in order to get the new items.
As for the luggables, yeah, there's a few problems with them, but I love the dynamic the luggables add to pvp, mixes things up a bit.
Finally, has anyone noticed problems with abs breaking a lot again? I had to relog twice because I couldn't even load a new gun from my inventory....either way, I like what the new update brings to the game, but it'll be that much better when the bugs get sorted out

LOL, tell that to any of the Tabor West regulars
Either way, as for the challenge I meant that it is hard to kill the corrupted buggers without endangering yourself (ie you actually have a chance of dying). The waiting around part makes it so people arent able to knock out the new items in the first week of the patch like the Area K. And if you cant take the waiting around, just bring a radio DJ, they make standing around doin' nothing fun (semi serious joke, please dont flame 
)

if too many people want to blitz through the missions and then complain there's "no new content" after a week, thats their problem. the rest of us shouldn't be punished for their inability to pace themselves in the stupidest way possible.

Yeah, i think the devs really need to take our feedback on board for this and rebalance it accordingly.
Long wait timers like 45 minutes are rediculous like pghost said. 15 at most sounds good to me.
The difficulty of killing the big guy also needs re-evaluating. I mean, its fine to have good group content but hitting 15dmg a spray? When the sprays are collector items? And the boss has a set time to kill before it dissapears? Uncool.

A few issues with the quest mission, but frankly, I'm glad it's nothing something people will not be able to get done in 1 day and say.. "next". However, I will say that the reward in regard to the quest should have a few more buffs to make it even more worth while.
