Special Feedback Friday - 7th November 2008

First of all, thank you to everybody who helped us contain the invasion on Sunday night. It was an amazing display of unity in the face of adversity and a great opportunity for General British to come back and join our fight all the way from Russia. 

While we have a ton of courageous Soldiers fighting for the common good every single day on Foreas and Arieki, there are also a lot of people out there who haven’t had the opportunity to experience the universe of Tabula Rasa. They haven’t seen it grow and develop into what it is today, so here’s a little recap of what you can expect to see in today’s Tabula Rasa!

• Tabula Rasa is all about the survival of Humanity, but you can still get a taste of what other species are like. The solution: become a Hybrid.
• Enjoy our new Crafting stations: simple yet efficient.
• Once you’ve created the perfect weapon, why not sell it through the Military Surplus?
• If you thought weapons couldn’t get any better, meet our progressive weapons.
• Your subordinates owe you obedience, so show them the way!
• Forming a squad or merging existing ones!? Easy thanks to our Interactions Team.
• Rack up a Kill Streak Multiplier (up to x6) as well as a group XP bonus! on those days when all you want to do is plough through hordes of enemies.
• Assign your attribute points!, enhancing your Body (maximum Health and total Armor absorption), Mind (maximum Power and Damage done with Logos Abilities) and/or Spirit (regeneration rate and chance for Critical Hit with weapons and abilities).
• Start towards gaining rewards as a veteran player. We’ve introduced plenty! over the past year!

There have been many, many more improvements implemented into the game, many in direct response to our players’ feedback, including:

• a more immersive Bootcamp tutorial,
• dynamic and dangerous battlefields with more responsive enemies,
• a Looking for Squad tool,
• the ability to Respec your skills as well as your attributes,
• compelling Instances - including all new maps, as well as total reworks to existing ones.
• an overhaul of the Tooltips to give you more details of the amount of damage you should expect to make for instance,
• a Logout Timer for fairer combat conditions in PvP as well as in PvE,
• a lighter Death Penalty
• the ability to cast skills while crouching or while running,
• adjustments to overall class balances,
• the introduction of Prestige to wager items in PvP or get items from the Grey market Vendors,
• and much more!

But this wouldn’t be an accurate overview of our Universe without mentioning some of the features that will be making their way into Tabula Rasa soon:

• We return to Earth and with our Mechs, we’re ready for the fight! !
• TR is not an FPS? Check out the new FPS view, and we’ll even throw in the sniper zoom!.
• Enjoy capturing Control Points? Now you can fight other players for control on a new PvP wargame map!
• Epic Group content for high level players is on its way and, best of all, it is based on player feedback about the Epic Gauntlet Test Map!
