Update 54 Discussion

Raijinn · 08/23/2007 19:08:24

This thread is for discussion of Update 54, which is set to be released on Friday, August 24, 2007.

MotorZ · 08/23/2007 19:18:46

Hmm...looks like mostly small fixes unless I missed something?

If we happen to get another hot fix like the last one...or just "hidden" stuff that won't show up 'til later, I will be impressed. If not, looking forward to 8.2.

Gerik · 08/23/2007 19:23:10

Just seeing that fix on Logic Bomb 2.0 made me happy. Good job Devs! SMILEY

Bayamos · 08/23/2007 19:30:48

Nooooooooo. Anome sim =(

Uh... this *is* the patch for 8.2

And the big fixes/additions are:

New Uriah Stuff (Headless glasses and Industrial fedora)
Fixed Shinyness
Dungeon loot anti-nerfs

That's why I said looking forward to 8.2. lol I meant it is a patch mainly for story

The dungeon loot stuff is pretty big, the shinyness issue could probably have been prevented in the first place...hopefully this means something big is in the works (buff changes perhaps =p)

Dang.. I was getting to like my AoE Silver Bullet Bomb. I especially like the sound of the changes to Hideout stuffs. Oh and don't forget, this Update contains the new fedora and shades.

AmbrielSyntax · 08/23/2007 22:07:54

Revivification abilities now indicate the caster’s name in the confirmation dialog box as well as in system chat after the ability is invoked.

You mean just the revived player's system chat? or everyone's system chat? O.o

Marias · 08/23/2007 22:36:55

I'm really excited to see the new buffs on hideout clothing. Is it possible that my beautiful Troll's hide is even more useful now? =D

Roukan · 08/23/2007 22:41:58

Does this mean Direwolf will make a comeback?! :o

Aquilae · 08/23/2007 23:28:11

Don't see anything about the Fan Faire shirt.

Indeed. Will it just be emailed, or stuck in inventory? *makes room*

Marias · 08/24/2007 00:01:08

Someone said that they're going to be mailed out.

This is the most interesting fix to me, it could be worrying also. Direwolf and Trolls is already powerful, although not much resistance, they could technically overpower the item. I mean can you imagine the health bonus + 33 dmg resistance + 3% Mel Dmg! Maybe it wont be, maybe it will be like quicksilvers and have like 3% dmg in all areas, meaning its no longer an 'MA' coat.

I am interested in seeing what the trolls hide will do, simply because it doesn't have much resistance, now if that gets beefed, I know I will be out getting another one :p

As for the compiling thing, does that mean we cannot compile in the loading area now?

TH

cloudwolf · 08/24/2007 02:27:48

Lowered dungeon boss group respawn time from 20 minutes to 10.

Pwn overload.

Bartenders will no longer kneel behind their counters.

Oh and little as it may be its still nice to see this annoying little thing fixed, though just fixing them getting stuck would've been better, oh wells.

Heres hoping for another quest in 55 ^.^

Devaude-TGS · 08/24/2007 04:12:35

Are the buffs on the existing item changed or is there a new version with the new buffs?

Can't wait to see the new dragonskin buffs

SolidRevolver · 08/24/2007 04:20:59

I dont think ALL dungeon loot will be given resistance, it said that it had only been applied where needed, a lot of the loot was effective withought the Resistance. Weirdly, there was a discussion yesterday about how the Troll's Hide/Emma's Vengance doesn't have enough resis in the Syntax Marketplace board.

EDIT: Nice update, my Black Dress Shirt will be black again and not Red SMILEY And new Shades and Hat.

Croesis · 08/24/2007 05:07:18

I saw the file Char_Children.pkb getting patched... have they fixed Stretch-Sati?

cloudwolf · 08/24/2007 05:17:52

Newbie stuff is awesome, really helpful =D

Only little nag is the description of the RSI pills, makes it kinda sound like you can only change ay appearence the once. I know the itention is that the pills are comsumable but you know, wording and all that.

Next steps an imformant or two in tabor (since this points them there) that points em down into moriah for mission archives i take it? Good stuff but i think we can wait between another 'class based' quest first SMILEY " width="15" height="15" />

Though i spose the headless kinda constitute a quest, huh? Nice one on that btw, the level scaling and cool shades mean its good for higher levels but the buffs, location and again level scaling mean its awesome for new players too.

Big props

I think thats just a standard character model thing rather than for actual children models as Sati is only one SMILEY

. So likely to be edited for the newbie npc?

It actually pwns, nothing major but its a nice little update with some needed fixes

TheSorrows · 08/24/2007 05:53:30

What's up with the White Avero Cuffed Trench?

It got trashed like Seraph's did when he was thrown into the River.

SolidRevolver · 08/24/2007 06:09:51

Second person on Syntax to get the Headless Shades SMILEY

Seriously though, Barebones looks awesome, the Red Code is a nice touch, the shades look awesome and have instantly beat my Voids as the shades of choice SMILEY

Mindsweep · 08/24/2007 06:09:54

Finally the new update we have been waiting for.

Whoever is fixing the assasin mask............I LOVE U ! SMILEY

MatrixRefugee · 08/24/2007 06:59:03

A new Merovingian-affiliated NPC near Uriah SW directs new players east, where they'll find new enemies waiting for them below ground, and new rewards.

Hee, this'll help the newcomers find their way around a lot better. I'm going to check this out with Morraeon.

Outlaw · 08/24/2007 07:30:17

A lot of the Uriah npc's that you talk to that are in or around the exile hideout all are Errors, like their text files are missing or something. They all say the same thing. At least for me.

Just was on there, and had no trouble. That's very strange...

Either way, it's *GREAT* to see the devs do something to play up recruiting for the Merv: maybe this will help raise the numbers and balance out the orgs. I can hope, non?

YourEraser · 08/24/2007 08:51:13

Ok been in the Dungeon for 15mins and now spawn. I know I'm in the right area. Can some one help the new guy out. How long is this spawn rate. If it matters I'm on Vector.

Dont kill Barebones, he has to stay alive. He will spawn one equal level NPC on to you and only that will drop the Headless Frags. If he dies, the Spawns will stop till he respawns.

He was dead when I got here. And its now going into 40 mins. And he still hasn't appeared!

Kill all the guys around him, they work as one group I think then he should spawn

... if not then we have Corruptor V2.0 =O

All the guys? You mean the Unclean NPC's? Those are the only ones that are spawning.

Barebones should have some Unclean around him, if Barebones is killed, kill off the rest of the guys near him and then he shoudl respawn like any other gang.

Fen · 08/24/2007 09:52:22

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for adding descriptive text to the exiles in the Mars Hideout. We get to learn a little more about the Unclean. I haven't checked the other hideouts, but if you put descriptive text on all of them and their bosses... mad love.

We have killed every one of the Unclean in here. I don't know how many times. Yet BareBones doesn't exist!

SolidRevolver · 08/24/2007 10:29:14

Just popped onto Vector to have a look and the Vector spawns are indeed broken SMILEY

Haha, didn't even know you were in the faction Solid. Thanks for comming and checking it out. Im out for a bit, so I hope it's fixed by time i return.

Croesis · 08/24/2007 10:49:35

I got my shades then started farming Pills... I saw Barebones in the lift on lvl 4 then he disappeared. Probably best to check around all of lvl4 and the levels either side, just in case he's gone wandering... Oh that was Syntax BTW... the Vector spawns may well be broken...

How convenient, NPC's just walking around the Mega City. So the chase is on!

Croesis · 08/24/2007 11:33:24

It's a known, and annoying bug for NPC's in missions...
So you either got a wandering Headless Guy or a broken spawn... I don't know which is worse.... probably a broken spawn...

the effect must just be on Vector then, cause I am not the only one with that problem...hmm

Kybutra · 08/24/2007 11:54:27

no spawns on syntax now from what Iv heard

Kybutra · 08/24/2007 12:43:10

yup seems the spawns may be broken on Syntax aswell now

9mmfu · 08/24/2007 12:46:56

Hopefully Vector is fixed.

And syntax now.

Will have to look into the problem.

Thanks, Devs, for the great update.

Havocide · 08/24/2007 17:49:08

Ive only got the shades so far, and watched the cinematic. Ive been too busy with RMC:Terminal today to do much else.

But the shades....nuff said.

<3

CPT_Starschwar · 08/24/2007 17:53:12

Cinematic: Good fun, nice seeing all 3 sides represented (been since 2005 since we've seen the Merv in one! And the first time with clothing!)

Crits: So far, so good.

New uriah quest: Very nice, though it can take awhile to get all the pills.

New clothing: Beautiful! Well done!

Shine fix: Mostly good, but avero cuffed trench is messed up, and female yuki ninja gloves are still gold instead of black.
