The Matrix Online Story Continues in Episode 9.1!
Chapter 9.1 begins with a new cinematic and critical mission on Thursday, 11/15, plus a new critical mission follows on the next four Thursdays: 11/22, 11/29, 12/6, and 12/13.

Chapter 8 Missions Archived
Archived versions of the chapter 8 critical missions are now available from Archive Vendors. Get all nine chapter 8 mission archive tokens by completing the archived subchapters for each organization. Turn them in to one of the Organization Collectors for the chapter 8 mission archive reward item.

Changes and Improvements

• Organization collectors now offer tickets for archived chapter 8 missions and a new FX reward item for completing them. The collectors also offer organization-inspired rewards for turning in all completion tokens for a single organization's archived chapter 5-8 missions.
• Mission archive chapter reward FX items now have a System chat panel activation message.
• A new option has been added to the Options window on the Game tab. The new option is Scripted Bullet Time Camera. This option controls whether or not your camera goes through the scripted bullet time behavior when a bullet time animation plays or stays where you have placed it (distance or position relative to the player's model.)
• There is now an option for turning off the scripted bullet time camera in the Game Options > Advanced Key Bindings > Camera window.
• Toned down the viral deflection FX and made it fade in and out smoothly instead of popping on/off.
• Ability interlock accuracy bonuses are now shown. These are the base values added to a player's total and are not reflected in the player's bonus panel. These values are influenced.
• Doubled the buffs of the special event/reward items with level-scaling Resistances: Anniversary T-Shirts, Demon Army Trench (Merovingian chapter 1-4 archive reward), Security T-Shirt, Verdigris Shirt, Formal Gloves. The buffs on these items now range from +2 to +22 in all Resistances as player level increases from 1 to 50 (the old Resistance buff range was +1 to +11).
• Reduced the shine on the large revolver slightly.
