I’m hoping the coin fix is in the patch that’s coming before the end of the year

As much as I would take the Coin this way, it would be such a disappointment and missed opportunity if it arrives just as a patch that adds it boringly in the loot list to be drowned out and nothing else.
(by the way, is the Coin missing really a bug? I thought the whole “the coin is in the loot list, but a syntax error makes it not appear” was misinformed rumour. I even thought that the mode that adds it is not the “real” coin, but a placeholder chosen by the modder using the legacy ET coin)

You know what, I’m not sure how they’d add it in? As long as it doesn’t involve completing 5 or 10 Freelancer Hardcore Campaigns I’m ok!

Even if it was “Complete a perfect Hardcore run, completing every single objective in the campaign”?

Christ almighty!!
It could be worse.
Like “Throw 10000 coins in Freelancer” worse.

Where is Patrick_McColloch when we need him?
I made a wishlist post for exactly that! 
(long story short: new cosmetic for the table in front of the weapon wall, with the coin as a pickup on it.)

I just realised that this part of the original roadmap article:
November 16
Surgical Procedure
Apply the right treatment to your targets to unlock a new outfit
has been flat out removed from the article on ioi.dk.
I wonder if it’s because it was supposed to be for the next roadmap, and accidentally included.
It would explain why it’s not on the infographic, and never was.
But then again, the article still mention “4 new challenges inspired by the hitman community”, so it could be just because the illustration wasn’t ready.

They’re always making weird micro updates to blog posts for some reason. ie in June they updated the March patch notes.
There one instance last year where one set of patch notes listed a bunch of “live fixes” they had already done in the weeks prior to the patch to fix some things server side - but made a point to call out that they were listing them for posterity. They completely removed the list about two months later. Apparently posterity can be time-limited.

A good reason to relock the elusive contracts on Hitman 2 and confiscate the unlocks PERMANENTLY if they can determine who used the phone and who didn’t.
Pretty good idea to be fair. If this came to fruition, do you think it would appear on the table in front of the weapon table, with the option to then place it in the loot crate?

Thanks! 
The table in front of the weapon wall? ie the mission control cosmetic?
It’s the best shot at it. It’s on the usual path of the player. It already has new interactions each other ones available. So a single new one with a Outstanding Service Coin spawn point would be great, and appropriate.
And to be frank: its just one cosmetic of clutter on top of a table. We have 5 new much larger cosmetics a pop per celebrET. So I think it’s low(ish) production time, and in continuity of the current production flow, easily integrated into it.
All while having a good beneficial meaningful impact to the players, celebrating their journey and answering something asked by the community at every announcements on the forum, reddit, twitter, and pretty much every SoMe for two years.

I couldn’t care less about the coin but I’d pay to have a fiber wire that isn’t that stupid sthetoscope as a permanent pickup option in the safehouse :x

There really should be earphones around, in the office would be my suggestion.

Yeah I understand you, I’ve started to bring the fiberwire from the weapon wall with me in Freelancer, and damn did it actually changed my gameplay.

Absolutely. I understand why it’s there, but there should be something else to grab as standard.

Same. Grabbing the stuff lying around the safehouse helps in a pinch, but it’s really hard to imagine even 47 being serious about performing an assassination when he’s grabbing a stethoscope and a letter opener. Pick up the fiber wire and an actual knife, and it just feels like shit is real.

I’m thinking, once it’s available, it could appear on the table opposite the weapon wall (a bit like picking the coin from the tree trunk outside) then we can place it back into the weapon look crate ready for future missions?
I can’t see IOI remove the holder for the coin to sit in the case, so I’m sort of thinking it would be cool to have your idea initially, then place it in the loot crates once it’s picked up for the first time perhaps? 
Yes, obviously if you drop it, it would be placed in the tool crate. It’s in parralel.
The main idea is to have the coin, the iconic tool of the game to be always available to the player as a reward via a permanent spawn point. Especially if the new cosmetic is unlocked via a challenge.
It’s meaningful enough without being broken. A meaningful reward appropriate for its name of the Outstanding Service Coin.
Just in case: what you said can be read as making the coin only appear once, like the SilverBaller in the chest behind the shed does. And then adding him to the random loot list? In effect drowning him into it, and the making the whole process useless after one time?
I would positively hate that.
