I was hoping for more mechanical fixes.  Not just minor clothing addons and shinies being modified.  Really, in the grand scheme of the game - this stuff is not as important or imparitive as fixing the many, many severe bugs like NPCs wandering out of buildings during missions, or the graphical issues like wrong reflections and crap messing up the display.

 None of the female clothing items that I have reported or have been trying to point out as major problems have even been touched.  Certain items of clothing - female clothing drasticaly corrupts the graphics.  Where is the fix for that stuff guys?  You certainly put a lot of work into updating the guy stuff - but very little has been done to the girl stuff.  Why is this?

When are the major Vista & Nvidia issues going to be addressed and worked on (if ever)?

 And I don't like the reflections on the System Glasses - makes them look like big fat fit-over sunglasses.  Too glassy and glossy all the way around. Take a look at real life outside and emulate what you see - since this game is based more on being realistic.  Don't try to guess at what stuff should or should not look like.  Observation is a major part of deciding and working on these type of texture graphics and such.  The outside world can provide you with all the research you need.

The mechanics of this game are far more important than tweeking some dungeon settings and playing with shinyness of clothing.  or adding a black hat.  I'll be happier when the major mechanics are finally being proven to being worked on.

• Just because a bug is reported doesn't mean it will be fixed in the next update, the Downtown lag problem was with the game for 2 years before the reason behind it was found and quickly removed.  I am sure the bugs are being looked at but it has already been said that we aren't blessed with lots of Devs and such to root out the problems, if you see a bug, report it with as much detail as posible and that could help speed the fix up.

• I am sure Rarebit hasn't fixed all of the suff that was reported, MxO is noted as to having the biggest Male>Female ratio in a MMO and the Male stuff would probably been reported more and taken more priority because of that.... that or Rarebit is sexist!  =O

When are the major Vista & Nvidia issues going to be addressed and worked on (if ever)?

• That, I am guessing, are more Nvidia and Microsofts problems, little the devs can do as it is how those drivers/system is running the game.  Though I may be wrong.

• Your allowed your opinion, personally I like the System Shades.

• Yes the major mechanics are important, but so are new players, a lot has been added to this game and new players need to find out about it.  The shineyness was already on all the clothing, it just that it wasn't being displayed properly, Rarebit discovered this and sorted it but some clothing still needed tweaking, which I am sure isn't finished yet.  And for the major mechanics, 9mmfu has threads around the forum asking people to report problems, for instance the Downtown lag, Archives not starting and other things, if you discover a bug, even if it is a known issue, report what you did for it to happen and thay can re-produce it mabey finding a cause.  You cant cure a disease if you dont know the cause.

I dunno if anyone has reported this, but the icon for Quicksilver Gloves, like the picture of them in your inventory, is now the icon of it in code form, like it was just coded and not uploaded. Seems to only be for the male gloves though.

Hmm yeah i noticed it too!!Why is that??

There probably is a reason that Monolith did not use those reflections and shiney textures in the game and left them adandoned.  Probably because they did not work right or weren't appealing to the creators at the time.  Often times in video game design, things get put in but are not utilized because of changes in artistic decissions or they caused problems and weren't worth the hassle.

Most of the mechanics bugs I mentioned have been reported multiple times - for quite a while now.  I reported in detail w/ pictures the corruption issues on the femme-clothing and I have been keeping a list of which items are causing the corruptions - on the request of one of the tech ppl.

And you shouldn't have someone who is biased to one gender over anouther making all those item and artistic decisions.  All the clothing, reguarless of gender deserves to have time spent on it equally.  Personaly I think somehow the loot that drops should drop according to the gender of the player.  I'm sick and tired of getting more male crap dropped as loot that I can't use because I play as a female.

I would like to see less complaining about what Sony doesn't give you and more focus development on the technical end. Too bad if the Devs are short (as they claim) on staff.  Even a small team can be effective if they know how to utilize their resources wisely and work with what they have and draw upon the skills and talents of the ppl working there to the absolute best of their abilities.

And last but certainly not least, Whoopteedoo - a new hat!  Big deal - Meanwhile my graphics are still corrupted constantly.  A lot of Users with 8800, and 8600 cards can't play because of massive lag indoors (which is not entirely Nvidia's fault). NPCs still wander off to point 0,0,0 during missions, Interlock animation is still very screwy. NPCs can shoot thru walls ... NPCs continously walk into walls and keep walking. The battleground Widow's Moor (or whatever its called) continues to be broken as NPCs constantly roll out of interlock, Login issues abound, and the game continues to be pretty much incompatible with Vista and DirectX 10. 
But whoopee!  I got a new dark hat!  That fixes all my gripes! - uhm ... NO, it doesn't. 

And this is what I mean by the glasses being too shiney and reflective ---->  GLASSES

So ... this update has been fairly disapointing and somewhat worthless.

Coz we are special??

• Widened Scanline Receiver default window size so that the image fits the window under Internet Explorer 7.
• 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.
• Lowered dungeon boss group respawn time from 20 minutes to 10.
• The bluepill to be escorted in Zion archive mission 1.2.10 is now slightly higher level, and the ambush that spawns between the two phases now targets the player rather than the bluepill.
• Dungeon loot has had resistances added where necesssary to bring the items in line with other CR2.0 items. As part of this rebalance, two levels have been added back to the required character level for Richland and Westview dungeon loot items, and the Creston Heights items have been raised from character level 40 to character level 50.
• /random can now be used with two natural number parameters to specify a range.
• Tiger Master Coat/Gi buff is no longer removed by negative condition sweeps or antibiotics.
• Data Node Neo Agents NPC spawn in Data Node Neo Agents are of same level as the player.
• The icon of ‘Code for Quicksilver Gloves' should now render as code in the inventory and in the Compile window
• Moderated the new specular highlights added in update 53 on the following:

Oh, just throwing it out there (due to no ask the devs thread at the moment) , but could you look at the black machello patterned vest combo? It's always been grey.

Well...maybe it's just showing its true colors now. :p

I don't suppose you have before/after screenshots?

My Dragonskin is all dark and ugly now. =[ I didn't see any noticeable shine on it before, and suddenly it's two shades too dark. Now I can't get away with wearing it with my outfit, with the Patcher's Bandana.
