Game Updates for August 2007
Post: #1
07.August.30
  • Added war start and end times to war history summaries.

07.August.29
  • Game Rules page has been updated to attempt to more clearly define certain rules.

07.August.28
  • The default weapon selected on the attack options page is the best item you have equipped instead of defaulting to your gun (or nothing if you had no gun equipped). The last statistic you trained in the gym will be the default selection the next time you go to the gym. Total energy defaults to your current energy as the norm. Trainers always default to "no trainer".

07.August.27
  • Players who hospitalize others get less of a defensive hospitalization bonus in combat from others trying to hospitalize them.
  • Simplified the layout of the attack option page by removing the drop-down options and replacing them with single-select menus.

07.August.26
  • Reformatted item information pages in inventory. Now when clicking on an item's info, you will see more information. Things added to items are; Legality of item (whether it is legal or illegal), Availability Rating (does not apply to any item available in stores, high numbers mean the item is harder to obtain), Concealment Rating (ability to hide item from view, the higher the number the easier it is to hide), and Weight (items are in kilograms for simplicity of coding). Not all added information is currently in use, but will be used in future additions to the game.
  • In addition to the new info, item requirements are now listed in an easier to read format on item info pages.
  • Added item weights as well as total inventory weight to inventory page.
  • On certain pages you may see small question marks inside white circles up to the right of the page name you are on. This is a work in progress, and will display information about the page you are on. The home page is first up.

07.August.25
  • Altered description of Cyber-Healing for Scientists to better describe the actual effects of the special ability.

07.August.23
  • Added warning to credit market posting page. Posting credits on the market without using the options given (anonymous posting or bank wire) may result in you getting mugged by the person buying the credits from you. So you must weigh the options, should you post them and spend a little for insurance, or post them and risk getting mugged.

07.August.22
  • Thanks to Jack Mort's gang, Ares was forced to release a new armor. Available in Downtown, this is unlike any armor seen before. Ares calls their new Electro-Magnetic armor "Armor Shielding". A cheap way to increase the effectiveness of traditional armors, its major drawback is the effects are not permanent. This new armor type carries a "charge" that decreases with use. Recharging is as simple as going to your inventory screen and hitting the recharge link listed for each Ares EM-1 Power Series that you have. Visit Argyle's Armory today to pick up your very own pair.
  • Edited the war declare page to make things a little easier to manage.

07.August.11
  • Fixed an issue with gang wars where multiple "final strikes" by gang members on the same gang at close to the same time resulted in negative gang points being awarded.

07.August.10
  • Jack Mort's gang has been seen in the Industrial District. It's not known what their plans are down there, but there is a known shipment of Ares prototypes arriving soon. No one knows quite what they are, but Ares has bragged about this shipment as being the most heavily-guarded shipment in years. Who knows, perhaps Ares is taking a page out of Apple's book and over-hyping their latest toy.

07.August.8
  • Seven security updates to various sections of the site.

07.August.6
  • Fixed issue where "power level" in combat wasn't including cyberware statistic modifiers.
  • Fixed potential exploit of referral system. As usual, we do not detail exploit fixes.

07.August.2
  • Tweaked combat output to be a bit easier to read.
  • Cleaned up bank transfer page.
  • Added information on estimated interest per day if you have enough cash in the bank to earn at least 1 whole dollar.
  • Input of cash numbers into deposit or withdraw fields will now allow commas.
