New update will be available at 5 PM EST tonight.

• Open areas to explore
  
• Story missions
  
• 10 man co-cop missions!
  
• Consumables
  
• Salvaging old weapons/armor for parts

Tokens have been changed:

• There's now only one Token type. Mercenary and Conquest tokens have been removed.
  
• Conversion rate: Mercenary (30), Conquest (150).
  
• Daily limit on Tokens: 2,000 (Account limit 20,000 whatever that means)

High Security Missions stop giving rewards at level 30

Bunch of other small bug fixes, but also Bot Kills now appear on the scoreboard.


EDIT: Also, did I mention that Global Agenda had to temporarily disable their unlimited Free Trial because they didn't have enough servers for all the players? This game NEEDS MORE SERVERS. That's what I call success!

Oh yeah, that reminds me, HiRez is aware of this issue and already is halfway to a fix: A non-Steam Global Agenda Launcher!

Try that out and see if it works if you keep having to redownload the game every patch.

Dome City is still a glorified lobby. I'll pass for now.

I'm kinda disappointed that its 1. Instanced and 2. Laggy

They need to invest in some better servers.

It isn't instanced, there were other people in the free roam area that weren't in the group with us

Although we got through what missions they had pretty quickly, unless there are more Scrumptious and I were unaware of..

That's what you get for trying (and mostly succeeding) to do every available mission at once instead of going at a more casual pace. =P

I, for one, have set up shop in the City Ruins. Apparently, the more people there are in that area, the more enemies spawn. Rather large battles ensue.

Oh, and Panda, Dome City isn't a lobby so much anymore as it is a place to visit and shop when you're not out in the desert (you can queue for missions outside). There's even a City-only 10 player PvE mission that activates every hour or so -- and it's very fun.

Some other stuff I've seen that weren't mentioned in the patch notes: New enemy types! A LOT of new enemy types. To give you a taste, Medium Security missions have you raid a HUMAN SETTLEMENT instead of a more robotic one, with its own boss type. Most of the existing enemy types have also had sub-types created with new paint jobs or features/weapons.

Clubbing a black human dude in the face as he tries to shoot you with a laser crossbow... ftw.

How active are you guys in GA nowadays? Is it worth installing again?

[Fire]

As active as a snigs attention span can let them be
