Update 65 / Winter Holiday Discussion - December 18, 2008

This thread is for discussion of Update 65, which is scheduled to release on Thursday, December 18, 2008.

Well, I'm happy that the new archive reward will only require 6 tokens, and not a full 11.3.3 validation ticket on top of that.  Sad that we still won't be able to access other org's 11.3 missions in one form or another.

? Aren't the Archived Missions availible to everyone, regardless of org?

Not the new ones.

I hate how short patch notes have become. I miss big lists of bug fixes to mull over. Though I suppose all we really have left are Vista problems and big combat fixes deemed "too much effort" within our current budget to even bother touching on *cough*clothingstackingandtacticswitching*cough*.

That said, I was ecstatic to see

"Each special property displayed in an item's details now appears on a separate line for improved legibility."

The wait will have been worth it, oh QA server how I've missed you.

Now all we need is a better way to arrange collector items

I know right? 3 lines for 12.1 for the new update = not good.

Oh, that's just because I didn't want Walrus to spoil the surprise of the high level mobs waiting around the city to ambush you. =D

Then put something like "More to follow after update has been released." and where is the part saying about the cinematic?

What exactly do you mean? I saw this:

Virrago wrote:

The Matrix Online Story Continues in Episode 12.1!
Chapter 12.1 begins with a new cinematic and missions. Jack in and see where the story goes!

Update notes in the past haven't gone into details about the cinematic have they? They pretty much state what Virrago stated in the notes.

What's all this about the other org's missions being restricted now?

RareBit... are the org restrictions on the archive missions going to be lifted?

cloudwolf wrote:

*cough*clothingstackingandtacticswitching*cough*.

*Cough*trynottomakeitsoobviousnexttimelol*cough*

But in all seriousness, I wasn't expecting much from this update. Good to see that there is at least some new material though. Nice work Dev/s.

11.3 and after missions won't be archived, you can still go to the area and do them.

Looking forward to the snow being back, getting a chance to get the formal gear I never bothered to get. And hoping for a couple of decent worthwile items from the new missions!

O.o is this story related mobs ?

Changes and Improvements

• An item's mouseover information will now indicate if the item has purity or stability that never decays.

Good idea!  I'm pretty sure this only applies to the Fan Faire, Beta, Blue Sky, Burning Eye, and Security clothing, right?

And the FM-1500. Well, I haven't seen it decay so far, and I'd go spare if it ever did.

Would you like me to stress test if for you, just so you can be completely sure about it?

Should I reinstall or something? I see people playing from the Station Launcher and I'm getting that. >_>

Patch server updating? (I take it that you're talking about a patch error, I can't see the image but was getting the patch error at lunch time) Or are people already back in?

Lol wow, these guys came straight from an art gallery huh? One red and one purple Oligarch 0.o

I guess that answers my question..

Ah, well at least there is a way to update, thanks for sharing! I hope it's sorted before I finish work else I'll have to download the Station launcher again Isn't it usually the Station launcher with the problems though?

Hahaha usually yeah

I'm getting that error as well.

   I've tried updating through Station Launcher and I'm still not getting the patch. O_o

well it said the maintenance started at 7 AM EST and will take 4 hours...so I am guessing in about 19 minutes we can get in

   People have been in-game for a while now.  They always give huge estimates to their downtime so no one complains if a problem occurs.

Virrago wrote:

   Yes.  And the Station Launcher workaround isn't working for me, either.

Virrago wrote:

Yes, the same error message is still appearing.

Ok, we have people looking into the problem now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Virrago wrote:

yes

  Whenever I do that, instead of "Updating... Approx. time left: 16:03", I get "Update Stopped".  Clicking on it does nothing. O_o
