Drop rates i can agree with. hehe.

Oh and as a random piece of 50 feedback, apparently red eye sucks.

definately agree with increasing the drop rates...

and also getting rid of the sadistic programming that says "if character = female then rsi pill drop = male" SMILEY

My female rsi is picking up male pills at a 4 to 1 clip to female ones.

RSI Modification Pills
Dungeon NPCs (except for the NPCs in the boss area of the bottom floor) and the bosses themselves now have a chance of dropping pills that permanently alter a component of your character's RSI when used. These pills can also be traded or sold. Different pill types can be found in different dungeons:

  • Mars Industrial Storage: Hair Color A (1-10, natural)
  • Casinos: Hair Style (1-19 female, 1-18 male)
  • Old Hammerville High: Hair Color B (11-20, natural)
  • Old Talbot Building: Hair Color C (21-32, artificial)
  • Abandoned Subway: Tattoos (1-SMILEY
  • Rawlins Corner: Facial Color (1-SMILEY
  • Ole Miller Projects: Facial Style (1-12 female, 1-13 male)
  • Orchid Public Bath: Skin Tone A (1-SMILEY
  • White Lotus Hotel: Skin Tone B (9-16)
  • South Vauxton Apartments: Head A (1-10)
  • Hampton Green Hotel: Head B (11-20 female, 11-19 male)
  • Creston Heights Museum: Body Type (1-3)
*CENSORED*, where's the surprise anymore?

I like update 50 alot, chatting whilst coding is extremely usefull to all the residential coders, and these new pills are a great way to earn a bit of extra cash.  I've yet to encounter a MKT in PvP to test out the changed made to them, though. That's something to do. SMILEY

I've actually had more luck with the female pills. SMILEY

But yes, drop rate increase wouldn't be so bad... yet I agree with why it is the way it is. We (MxO community, it seems) have a habit of wearing out new content fast.

You'll find that your increased droprate is because they like you better. Womans charm, I guess. SMILEY 

We do tend to eat our way through content within the first couple days, that is the reason why people ask for more.  The whole area K thing was content that could last for month's, but its the big "frenzy" only lasted a few weeks, it seems. One batch of content that was thoroughly enjoyable that was and is being used to the max (which is good) is the pandora's arc. I'd love to see maybe even a few more arcs, an expansion to that at some point in the future.  However, this patch's main content is pretty much the RSI teal pills, and because they are farmable/market place tradeable (unlike pandora's) we will get through it alot quicker.

Dam, fingers got carried away with me, there. SMILEY

I think that the few changes to the MKT tree could be taken in stride if it weren't for the current bugs. When we get a few of the fixes for things like punt and suplex not working, and throat cutting throw not activating in interlock, then i'll be content. Maybe moving the lag back to downtown instead of just Mara C would help a little as well. : /


Other than that, good stuff.

Actually, after some extensive farming of my own i dont think the drop rate is that bad, like its been said, it gives it some longtivity - i mean, not everything should be easy.

The one rate related change is would like to see is...

I don't know if this has been said...but it seems the /who area has been updated instead of reading someone in Mara Central from Tabor North....it reads at the exact 100 meters as it has been put to...seems the Dev's didn't mark it in the update notes.....
