BUILD D1010

Patch notes.

What changed on the server, newest first.

Known issues

• Bob in the tutorial: getting up instead of a new Bob is in testing.
• Some escort missions can still stall at the hand-over. Abandon and retake the mission.
• Abilities under repair: Determination, Balance, Purity, Mobius Code, Energized Attacks, Precise Blow and Detect Vulnerability use Inner Strength but have no effect yet.
• Sneak-attack openers hit like a normal attack; Recall Team Member / Mission Team summon nobody; style clicks (Handguns, Rifles, SMG, Kung Fu) do nothing yet.
• Spinning Flower, Sweep the Floor and Aikido Spinning Clay Pigeon hit much harder than intended.
• Upgrading an attack ability does not raise its damage yet, and many buff/debuff side effects (e.g. Powerless, slows) do not apply yet.
• Heals and revives cannot be used in close combat yet; thrown poison/bleed damage over time is too strong; Lockdown breaks on damage; attacks never miss.

D1010 (October 16)

• You now see other players' close-combat fights (a network bug hid them).
• Players and enemies no longer flicker in and out around 50 m; they stay visible to about 75 m.
• Chopper gangs fight with fists, like 2009 - no more guns.
• About 10 seconds after a fight your character lowers the gun by itself - no more jumping.
• Hyper-Sprint is back to its 2009 speed (+15%).
• Enemies 5 or more levels below you leave you alone unless you attack them (also mission guards and stealth).
• Pandora collectors corrected from original screenshots (Fasset, Fechamento, Officer Taylor).

D998 (October 15)

• Less lag: the server no longer freezes for a moment when someone clicks an NPC, loots or equips.
• You now see other players shoot, with the gun in their hand.
• Guns stay in hand: players and enemies show their gun when they come into view, and yours is there from login.
• Team window shows real health and Inner Strength; teammates show on the map.
• Codebase trades again (Industrial Jacket for Mercury's note, Chopper Keys).
• Guide and NPC lines go to chat only - no more white text on screen.
• Report a bug in game: type /t bug and your message.
• Clicking a special move twice costs Inner Strength only once; it is dropped when the fight ends.
• Sitting on toilets puts you on the seat, not in the wall.
• Mission items taken from laptops go to the player who took them.

D985 (October 15)

• A wrong username or password now shows "incorrect" without crashing or hanging the launcher.
• Accounts now come from the sign-up site at mxorevived.com.

D983 (October 15)

• A wrong username or password now shows the proper "incorrect" message instead of hanging or crashing the launcher.

D982 (October 15)

• A wrong username or password now gets an answer right away instead of hanging on "Authenticating".
• Groundwork for the new account system (not switched on yet).

D974 (October 15)

• After the tutorial nobody calls you: follow the waypoint to Clio.
• New characters start with an empty contact list; you add people by meeting them.
• Collector texts are shown in full, including RPM's tip to call Zion command.

D969 (October 14)

• Tutorial: you now equip your gun yourself before the firing lesson.
• Beta test gift: Bob drops a Beta Hat every time he goes down.

D966 (October 14)

• You leave combat about 10 seconds after the last enemy gives up.
• Tutorial: Bob can get up after "Again" (test switch, off for now).

D963 (October 14)

• Escorts now lead to another building, never back to the same one.
• Inside buildings you see one waypoint at a time.

D960 (October 14)

• More original 2009 mission dialogue: Zion 11.2.2 and the three intro chains.
• Two Machine missions added: Downtime and Bugged Line.

D957 (October 14)

• Reputation is gained like in 2009: easy at first, harder as it rises.
• Binary Boy asks for 20 heads per box.
• Free-fire damage matches 2009.

D951 (October 13)

• Combat now uses the original 2009 damage. Enemies are tougher at low level.
• 21 Zion missions now use their original dialogue.
• Team fixes: Disband, Make Leader, team chat stays in the team.
• Tutorial: your attributes are kept, a real dojo door, new jump texts.
