Halloween Update Discussion

**Fractor**

9mmfu has said on the Broadcast Depth thread:

"No, If we did then every patch following it would be slightly off also. better to make just one a bit shorter and keep the regular Updates on schedule."

So it doesn't look likely.

**Procurator**

He said that implying that the update 56 patch would be delayed. As he hasn't given a reason as to why it might be delayed, I reckon he may be wrong. SMILEY

As far as I can see, they should be able to perform update 56 on time.

An extension looks unlikely at this point due to a few things. The zombies and Halloween masks are coded to shut off automatically on the 8th so pushing it further back would require a new update which is most likely not something that the team can do.

That's what I have on this for the time being, should any additional news come up, we'll let you know.

Thank you for doing your job relaying us this information. Please continue this in the future.

But the fact it probably WONT be extended still angers me. Oh well. I guess I'll wait for Christmas fo-- no I can't have darkness and zombies then. Just snow. Oh well, I'll wait TILL NEXT YEAR.

Rarebit:
It looks like the server file for the updated pumpkin loot did not make it into the stuff that went out for this update's server patch. This is being looked into now.

Sooo yah those masks are missing from the Live pumpkins right now. Tomorrow Walrus gets to figure out how we fix this. =p

If we have to update to fix this, you could extend the event right?

after the 8.3.5 mission the rest of the story line is really just filler events and set ups for the next big thing. Rare could let some of his creative juices flow and make the rest of this halloween patch all halloween content for Live events. i for one hope he does this because then he can concentrate on making some events that we had in the past like the Scourge of camon event a one day per server event instead of hitting all three servers in one day. ( kinda bringing it back to the old days of first found, most dmg and last hit so more people can get prizes and such).

Well I'm getting tired of slaying Zombies after only those two days.. don't mind the non-extension.

Good news! We were able to get the Halloween event extended to the 13th of November.

lol very nice. Guess MxO's Halloween code wasn't so stingy, after all.

EDIT: what's the 'changes to the operating system' scheduled for tuesdays downtime? Is that just taking the event out, or more?

Croesis

Lol! I was expecting more reactions like Phluff's! I'm sure that this will please the majority of people. Me, I'm not fussed.

Changes to the operating system.... Hmm.... I hope its not Vista!!!

**Nicksie**

Yay!!! More time to have fun with the Halloween stuff! SMILEY
