Hi-Rez Studios announces that Global Agenda will receive it’s first full-fledged patch tomorrow. The title will move to v1.1 after remaining at v1.0 (incremental patches aside) since launch in early February.
The patch includes a few additions that were highly requested by the playerbase including:
- A much needed friends and ignore list.
- New Conquest zones that have times more convenient for the international community.
- Increased plate drops, used for crafting, by 50%.
- Items can now be repaired.
- PvP maps can be chosen, and players can filter PvE for “balanced” groups or the quickest group possible.
- A report function has been added, tweaks have hit the AH, and numerous other small tinkers and improvements have been made.

The patch addresses some of the cons that I listed in my first impression of Global Agenda. Hopefully the rest are in the planning stages.
Global Agenda will be down for patch application between 11:00 AM EST and 3:00 PM EST. Patching should happen automatically through Steam. The Public Test Realm will be (mostly) available during the downtime of the live server.
Should it be wrong to be a higher-level character helping out a friend level quickly, just so we can play with them? I don’t think I’d want to play a game that makes it harder for me to play with my friends.
Certainly, curtail a level 80 player from casting level 80 buffs on a level 10 runt, but there shouldn’t be anything wrong with me casting my level 30 buffs on that player….
