Bugged Hair/Face Textures and "green Man" model issues on Terra
The "green man" model problem can be fixed by simply zoning, the model will reset when zoning.

Bugged hair/face textures can only be fixed by the GM team. You will have to contact the ingame support staff to get this problem fixed.

-------------------

Notes:

Ceres BioGenetic Labs
According to a press release by the CityAdmin Press Information Agency, a CityAdmin Special Task Force closed and sealed all entrances to the Ceres BioGenetic Laboratories. No reasons were named. Insiders suspect that the CityAdmin wants to secure the technology found in the Biogenetic Labs to their own advantage. Runners that may have been trapped inside the labs should use the usual emergency channels to exit the Labs.


Pepper Park
The spokesman of the newly created Red Pepper Entertainment Group announced today that the renovations of the Club Veronique and the Pussy Club are finally done. After rather long bureaucratic skirmishes with the previous owner and some technical problems with the renovations, the Red Pepper Entertainment Group is very pleased to finally be able to greet the first guests in the re-designed Club Veronique and Pussy Club.

Patch 128 Notes

c&p

Fixes
- Fixed broken Hacknet model animations.
- Fixed some minor bugs in the new BlackDragon Epic reward apartment.
- Fixed not properly functioning Black Dragon Epic reward NPC. The BlackDragon Storage Boss is now handing out the apartment key if you have finished the Black Dragon Epic. Currently no one outside the BlackDragon faction is able to receive such a key. We are working on a fix for this problem.
- Fixed a broken NPC in the Hacknet.
- Removed the Ionic Shotgun weapon's ammo from the traders.
- Fixed an issue with the Juggernaut mission. However, there is still another problem, the mission status does not mention that, in addition to the parts, you need to kill 5 Warbot LX-15 to complete it.

Balancing
- Reworked Pistol Skill again to reflect the intended "low weaponlore" requirement, as a result WEP's value has been reduced & the others increased further to take up the slack. Aim has also been heavily increased again, as a result if should cap well before the other areas.
- Reworked Aim cap on Rifles, it should require less skill to cap Aim now.
- Added 3 new Hacknet Softwares. 2 Attack and 1 Heal. The TL3 "HEW Attack Software v0.01", TL3 "Cryton Regeneration Software v0.05" & TL12 "HEW Attack Software v0.05".
- Removed all flying mobs from the Beginner MC5 temporarily .
- The PPU Antidote, Anti-Damage Boost & Anti-Shock are now useable in safezones.

Gameworld
- Increased the Newbie MC5 Boss mob spawn occurance slightly.

Misc.
- Spy & PE Hacker templates now start with the two TL3 Hacknet software & an extra stamina booster in stead of the 9mm Pistol & 2 clips of ammo. The template skills have been adjusted to reflect the inventory change as well.

good to see some patching action.

maybe some people might start playing again.

Cmaster did the last 3 missions of BT epic after patch was introduced. He said that the MOVEON isnt given after the penultimate mission but after the final mission is completed. I hear this is due to the exploit ot getting MOVEON then leaving and reeentering faction to do epic again on same runner and get supposably infinite number of MOVEONs. They fixed the epic but not altered the text to suit as yet.

So dont panic too much if you didnt get the epic reward when the script says you do.

That puts a price of 433k + Effort for each MOVEON chip. Some ppl do a lot for somethings.

lol. I found that if I steal a copy of NC from the store and hide it really well, go to jail for a year and pay a $1000 fine, I can then dig up my stolen copy and play without having to pay $50 for the game box. HA! Take that KK!
