Below are the notes for the Anniversary Event Update, scheduled to release on March 29, 2007.
HvCFT OS Supplemental Update: --
Second Anniversary Event - March 29 through April 10
Disturbing rumors are circulating about recent viral outbreaks inside the Matrix. This "Smith Virus" apparently appeared after pieces of Agent Smith's viral code were found inside the Matrix. Data Miners have located odd objects at the center of each outbreak; however, we have lost contact with all Operatives dispatched to investigate.
Reports have also come in of programs called "Smith Virologists" that have appeared near the various city monuments. When approached, they state that they carry a message from the Oracle. All available Operatives are requested to contact the Smith Virologists and obtain whatever information they can from the Oracle.
Changes and Improvements
- Toned down the "Enraged" visual FX.
- NPC pathfinding optimized to improve performance in complex buildings (particularly in Downtown).
- Doubled the duration of the mission archive chapter reward FX items (Code Eyes, Blue Headlamp, etc) from one to two minutes.
- The NPC version of the Oracle now has Details text.
