The bluepill Amber asks you to escort in her second mission, "A Safe Place," will no longer be attacked by Amber's own ASP street gang.

*CENSORED* THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

We still don't know where to find the new masks.  Will they be in the Zombie's loot or in the mysterious box or both?

As others have already said, please extend the Halloween event.  Delaying the event was understandable due to the circumstances, but the entire MxO population shouldn't be subject to the consequences if it can easily be rectified by simply not removing the Halloween content for an extra week or two.  Nine days seems almost laughable.

I'm happy it's out in time for Halloween. 

It seems somewhat reasonable that we'd stay on the normal Thursday patch schedule.  The event would have been 14 days thurs-thurs but we had a late switch on a tues instead making it removed on not the next but following thursday.  Probably always concerns switching things if there needs to be a fix, scheduled days to have some dude stay late and restart the box if it bombs out, etc.  Switching the holiday changes off is probably it's own patch.  Pushing the update patch out on top of it with zero test time might be a bit much.  Perhaps the two patches could be combined, I'm not really qualified to speculate on that.

Interesting on the gangs no longer attacking people their leader asks you to escort.  Never thought about that as a bug, just figured it was due to poor communication in the ranks.  Or possibly that the leader didn't bother to tell them or trust them with it, if they did, why hire you or something along those lines.  Anyway, I think it's a good change.

Edited for a few missing letters, too tired, etc.

2007 Halloween Masquerade: Oct. 30 through Nov. 8
It's time for The Matrix Online 2007 Halloween Masquerade! Find the jack-o-lanterns around the Mega City and activate them to spawn Exiles. Defeating a wave of Exiles leaves you with a special treat: A box only you can open that contains one of seven possible Halloween masks.

Suggesting they they come from the box rather than as loot.

 

Also, as I've said before there would be a lot more to it then simply flipping a switch, the patches need to be applied then tested and checked to make sure nothing has been compromised. Yeah they've done it before so they'd have a fairly good understanding of what to do so it should be quicker than previous times, but the new additions required checking for any flaws etc...

It isn't specific about which seven masks it is but it is most likely the 2005 halloween masks. These patch notes are very vague, they don't even say about the masks you get from the zombies (which should be the 2006 masks) which leaves the question where do you get the 2007 masks?

Also nice to hear about Amber's gang not attacking her escortee (could the same fix be made to others). I was stuck on that mission for ages because of it. I'm guessing you've just unflagged her for combat so no-one can attack her.

It hasn't even started and I'm already in grief over how bright I have to make my monitor! XD

I don't think anyone really remembers how dark it is. Two weeks of stumbling around in the dark... *shivers*

I tried all the ones you have mentioned on Live Dr. The all worked on the first try for me.

Remeber if you have a sequence currently running on you a second one wont spawn. So for example the Agent spawns or the Neighborhood zomebie spawns will prevent the pumpkin ones from appearing even though you activated it.

I am not saying this was your case but just an FYI.

Yeah, I'd like an extension, too.

I shall third that!

please extend the Halloween event.
Unfortunately this isn't my call to make however the best I can do is pass this concern along and see what can be done by those who can extend this event.

Thanks Raijinn, I really hope your higher ups can make it happen.  5 days is a lot of party-time and halloween music video time to make up for. SMILEY
