RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Update the game, make sure you receive the new DATs.

EXTRA NOTES:
- Any questions about GMs activity should be asked using overseer2238@gmail.com. The person operating this email (call him/her The Overseer) has access to all logs containing GM activity (logs are also more detailed now). He/she has been chosen from outside the GM team and his/her identity will remain unknown to anyone but the developers team. This email is now the only proper place for objections and inquiries concerning GMs.
- faction008.dat is deprecated at the time of this update. It can be safely deleted.

TO DO:
- Overhaul of the npc factions: Domination Wars, Factions Scenarios.
- Overhaul crafting to use Blueprints and fixed Workbenches
- Add an "Anti Crit" feature.

[cubik2k]

Are there any changes to critical table?

[GroeneAppel]

Any guesses when the server will go on? 24h? 5 min? heck im happy with a very soon, or soon, or later

[Pozzo]

Any change to crafting system ?

[Surf]

The update server is down, but will be available in short time.

[Pandemon]

No quests in New Reno as was said by some GMs.
No changes in NPC factions.

Update mostly focused on cars and small guns.
No improvements in armors.
Increasing dmg. will shorten even more fights (what most of us though it's not possible)

No changes in crafting system, as was said it would be.

Drugs have now same good as bad sides, we'll see how it will be.

And the great thanks for making a bit better GM control. That's what I wanted to see, really

[RavenousRat]

Increasing dmg. will shorten even more fights (what most of us though it's not possible)

Increasing damage for 10mm pistols and shotguns ;p yeah

They forgot mauser =(
Really 5-10 damage? Wtf? with 1/1 adj. bullets, that weapon really useless, I better kick someone with my leg and untagged unarmed then shoot with this kind of gun.

[Pandemon]

Increasing damage for 10mm pistols and shotguns ;p yeah

p90c, .223 pistol, assault rifle, lsw. Yeah.

[RavenousRat]

p90c, .223 pistol, assault rifle, lsw. Yeah.

p90 and .223 pistol is ok, assault rifle is my favourite gun from fallout1 so I'm happy, LSW... well yeah a bit faster fights, but 2 bursts in a row max don't forget. The same as 3 AP per burst with p90.
Edit: Oops, I mean 4 AP per burst from p90.

[Imprezobus]

Well, Only drugs used from now on will be: Mentats + Nuka, Buffout + Nuka or Buff+Mentos+Nuka : p

[Ganado]

Thanks for updating, dev team. I see you did some major changes to cars, I hope they work better now with the changes. Only problem I can see is a Repair leader alt. But I guess I'll just have to try it out myself before complaining.  
Edit: Another problem I foresee is that people will spawn-suicide to get better respawn point more often.

No changes in NPC factions.

Solar said that stuff wouldn't happen immediately and still need more development before they update it. Should be done soon, I hope.

Almost every "gun-type" weapon has been increased. What about Melee and Unarmed weapons? It seems like there is even less reason to pick an HtH build now.

As for drugs, 30 minutes wow. I like drugs. I can't wait to try this out.

- Looting containers and bodies by "take all" always desneaks.

Yes, I can't wait to see this improvement in action.

I'm sad there isn't any updates in Faction Buying, and I don't see the point in the NameColorizing update. Now we just go by our memory, it won't really change anything for the better. But again... I'll test, then complain.

Anyway, good job.

The update server should be working now.

Not yet, it wasn't quite ready.

Should hopefully happen in the next week.

Are there any changes to critical table?

Table itself won't change, just waiting on some things to be ready before we add some form of protection against crits.

I thought movement on wold map was slowed for cars and not for players individually....  this is pretty slow now, for the loner player gettinw from the bottom to top of map will actually take over 5 min
