Big day today for MGO
First the 1.10 patch is out. I downloaded it with HTTP as it was faster, however it started to slow down so P2P is better for later on if the HTTP has slowed. Took me about an hour from learning it was out to finish installation. It's apparently 800MB but I haven't check.
The GENE and GENE+ expansion is out too. But only a few are able to get it as the MGO store is overloaded. (deja vu eh?). So considering that I'll tell you the big features with 1.10.
YOU CAN GET NEW GEAR, even facepaint for the future. The gear shop is paid for by reward points. But you can only get reward points from survival mode...that however needs the expansion. You start off with 500 which is enough for a couple of the things in the gear shop. Note you can buy berets and Johnny's sunglasses. Those are the only 'special' things. Everything else is gear you could of got when making a character save for a few other things.
Two new skills. Both are unusable unless you complete the tasks to unlock them. But they're definitely a Box skill and a "medic" skill (what I mean is helping people when they're stunned or asleep)
The GENE expansion is new maps and female characters. Gene + is like the premium version. I'm not sure what's in it as the site is inaccessible at the moment.
My recommendation is to let it cool off and download either tonight or now as it's pretty early in America. About 5am I'm guessing over in yank land.
