Yeah.. um.. It's a surprise?

Ok, so while I never expected to see a comprehensive list of changes, I think the only piece of significant info in the notes that we weren't already aware of was the deactivation of the war Agents. Shame about the loss of the bumpy commando gloves, they'll look a little strange with the rest of the outfit.

For those vista updates I have a slight question.

Were any of those in regards to the whole graphic renders going all cell shade like (also having the UI go all funky like)? Just curious as to if some or none were.

My guess is that the collector in Park East will have more than white trenchcoats and black hats...

One would hope!

If the collector doesn't have anything more it'll be a buzzkill. I mean last update ever and all we get is Vista Fixes(It's awesome. Yay Rare) and RSI captures.. i mean come on.

Well we know the collector will at least have the new Area K and Patcher bandana.  The question is...what else does he have?

Rarebit promised surprises.  We demand them!

Pentangle RSI Mask.

The Mighty Fenshire does not require an RSI Capture to wear the lovely Pentangle.

Meatwad Luggable and CR1 Luggable or I'm QUITTING THE GAME FOREVERZ!!!!11 

I noticed no Wasteland Corrupter RSI capture.  THAT would be interesting (you probably wouldn't be able to move, though).

That would be cool. But unfortunately, it would get old after a while like everything else given.

Please let the collector provide multiple Item Decompilers with a small re-use timer, tie clips and event items like pandora's boxes/ kounichi boxes.

So when the hell does it come out. It was supposed to be out yesturday.

Agreed. That guy has some awesome clothing that can't be attained, like the purple-lit goggles and that shirt.

Hopefully Mon, Feb 16th 4:00AM PST if testing is done on Friday, 2/13. If not maybe Tuesday.

I noticed a red cowboy (girl) hat in the Dev screenshot thread. It'd be nice to get lots of the clothing we already have in different colors and styles. Surprise me!!

Monday's a holiday, so if it's not done on the weekend, it probably won't come out until Tuesday.  I think they're going to try to either rush it out tonight, or get it done tomorrow morning.

I was hoping to take advantage of the new patch and the long weekend!

Or better yet. A whole clothing creation revamp. Give the color pallets and higlights to let players choose there colors. But how in depth this can go is the question. But would suremake one hell of a unique surprise. Cause I really am tired of each tree using the same equipment. Its like every gunman have Area K, Sakura Dana, lvl 50 Yellow/Brown shades, Seraphims, QuickSilver Gloves, sleepwalker pants, and squad leaders. Wheres the variety?

Oh well id think its a bit to late now to ask for a rehaul on clothing creation. Cause we all know its only a matter of time. Regardless of what we wish to deny.

Yes.. I said it..

=)

or I guess =(

but we'll live

So there is some boss whos going to be on the gov building roof huh? guess those double elevator doors in Zia mission building wont ever be fixed heh.

I wish there were more to the patch, but if you look at it as a standard patch and not as some sort of coup de grace, it's not a bad patch at all.

Nice to see the Vista fixes even if I'm not running Vista, but it's too bad a couple of the changes were made (most notably the elite commando glove change and the ladies tattoos no longer being partially visible under some clothing).

Just like everyone else, though, I'm quite eager to see if the new collector has any secrets for us.

the vista issues will be nice i can actaully put vista back on my bootcamp partion. ill deffintly get or try to get one of those ninja RSI captures  and i cant debate weather i wanna trade my headgear for a black one or trade for a White Area K.

The Patch notes are incomplete.  I noticed some discrepancies between the Image Retrieval of 02/04 and the patch notes, there are missing bosses in the patch notes.

Specifically: 

- Captains Derrick & Raeder

- Ms. Walls, Sleepwalker Boss

Also, no mention of the Patch Error being addressed.

Very dissapointing.   Shouldn't post the patch notes if's that sloppy of a job.

Wait for the purity/ stability to almost wear out.

Probably havn't fixed the errors/bugs/exploits in those ones yet.

As noted in the discussion thread, below Ms. Tucker in the list should be:

- Ms. Walls

- Captain Dernick

- Captain Raeder

Things just got cut off in copying/pasting from our tracking system.

Also, the Patch Error -15 issue should be resolved when Update 66 goes live.

Please make note, it "Should" be fixed for the patch error, does not mean it is guranteed. So if it still is messed up do not be upset and storm into the forums ranting about how you were lied to. Thought I should poin that out just incase things go horribly wrong.

should be fixed? after 2 bloody months you would think 'it shall be fixed' what we paying our money for?

And i was looking for mxo is no longer subsciption based until a new developer is appointed.

nubious81 I think this one went over your head. 

i wouldnt doubt the patch is delayed till next thursday but id rather have a good patch then a broken game.

/macro FARM /Loadlo Farming 2.0

so being a new guy i dont understand the bosses and these names "mrs walls" etc and what they do, is there anything actually new coming to the game? because it looks like the patch just fixes stuff

So...

No more story.

No more story characters.

No story-teller tools.

No Agents.

No more than the most rudimentary of updates from now on.

lol, gf SOE.

"Dungeon, Construct, and Quest bosses who do not already have a Halloween Mask that confer their appearance now have a 10% change of dropping an RSI Capture item, which will allow the user to assume the NPC's appearance..."

.. Operative

Those names are bosses who can drop an RSI capture, a device to make you look like them.
