[8.1.2] Zion mission feedback thread: "Firewall"

**Rarebit**

Scheduled for tomorrow.

**Anamodiel**

Looks like Zion is beefing up it's network security, or they have just realized that they have to and will have us try to figure out a way to.

Or we'll just go in and kill some Machine network areas to slow them down.

**Neoteny**

I'm not sure if this refers to a firewall in the system, or if they're putting up a gate ala Zion the first in New Zion.

**Avalod**

Does this have anything to do with the Firewall Harrison Ford made? If so.. blame him for the idea...

(( i know bad pun intended to get a bit of a funny going ))

Well, that didn't work out.

I don't think that redpills in the matrix would be a great help to the outside world in building a "gate ala Zion" ... Or is that just me ?

    Are you also unable to enter the mission areas?

   I was able to enter the first phase of the mission when it spawned in a building like the one just southwest of the Sai Kung Central hardline. You know, those six-pronged buildings where you can enter the mission area by either entering the building or hyperjumping onto a balcony and entering through the doors there. I entered it via the balcony doors.

   The problem is that, while I was able to finish the first mission phase, I couldn't enter the second. Seems the problem affects every mission phase. This doesn't seem to be a problem with the entire mission system since I was able to enter the mission area of a standard mission.

**Procurator**

I think it's 'cos the missions aren't supposed to be visible yet. Maybe. I reckon they'll work after the hotfix (in 50 minutes).

I could enter the first mission area (uh, of the Machine mission) but not the second. Then on second try I couldn't even get into the first.

Erm, I'm not sure why the missions would work after the hotfix. It's on a timer, and the missions become available now, not after a server reset.

**Procurator**

Well, I'm never around when missions come out, so I never see that. And I always wondered why they reset the servers in Thursdays if not to activate missions, despite being on a timer.

Anyway, my mission worked now, so I've got no idea what the problem was.

That's good to hear. In any case, I do hope this is some kind of server problem, and that it's stomped with the reset. If not, then it's a major problem.

And as I recall, there are Thursdays that go by without a server reset.

**Othinn1**

Seems the mission problems were some kind of odd server thing, because I was able to do the mission without any problems after the servers went back up. Good thing too. I was worried there.

**MotorZ**

Zion's getting pwnt.

Ooh man I loved the ending, definitely BA.

Except since I was dead I couldn't check out their power levels, as the operator said to.

What did the hackable computer say? I forgot to have that loaded.

Mission wasn't too bad, seems like this sub-chapter maybe about the defences, and the battles with the Machines. A good twist at the ending with the machines SMILEY

A decent mission dealing with the security of Zion's networks. Interesting comments from the guards. I wasn't expecting the Agents at the end and wasn't able to escape because of lag so I missed the final dialog. But I can just read Aquatium's Zion Critical Mission Log when it comes out.
