Patch Update
On Thursday we made a new build for version 1.4 (1.4.2) for the Public Test Server. Currently, it’s going through final testing before it hits the PTS. Many of the concerns we had for 1.4 have been corrected in this new version and our goal for 1.4.2 is to have it out sometime next week. When 1.4 goes to PTS, the Orion player database will be copied to the Test Server. Stay tuned to the website for updates!
Patch Note Preview
Added new Operation: Sanctus Grotto. (Level 50) Will open 25/01/08.
This Forean spiritual retreat is rumored to contain a hidden subterranean temple containing an ancient and valuable Eloh relic. Join in a desperate race to locate the temple, solve the riddle that will open its seal, and retrieve the relic for the AFS. But hurry, the Bane have also heard about the relic, and they’re racing to get there first!
Chinese New Year
Players will get special treats on the 7th February for the Chinese New Year. Black Cat, Blue, Orange, Red, and Yellow fireworks will be in your backpack when you log in. Remember – Safety First: Do not light these fireworks with your fire propellant gun!
3 month Veteran Reward
Several players have been wondering what we have in store for our 3 month veterans. Well, if you are familiar with some of the earlier concepts of Tabula Rasa, you may just recognize our first reward, an old school Tabula Rasa “Kirin” mask. Players will also be able to show their dance skills with a /robot emote.
Player Questions from Feedback Form
- Player Question: I originally had my account created with credit card billing, due to some bills and such I moved to a game card for one month and moved back to credit card billing this month (for the January billing cycle.) By moving my account back and forth like this have I reset my veteran’s reward time?
Answer: Players will be rewarded for their number of months with an active account, whether they were paid for via credit card or game time card. Remember, the rewards are for the number of months with an active paid account. Changing the billing on the account will not affect the number of months you’ve already paid.
- Player Question: Will TR ever have Game Cards available? I’m not a big fan of using Credit Cards.
Answer: We now have a PlayNC Game Time Card. This game time card is good for most NCsoft games, including City of Heroes/Villains, Tabula Rasa, Lineage II and more!
- Player Question: With regards to the attribute changes mentioned in last week’s Feedback Friday, two questions. 1) Are those changes in addition to the effects that the attributes currently have, or instead of? 2) Will your attributes still stay the same across all clones, across all subsequent clones, or will we now be able to respec attributes as well as skills when we clone?
Answer: 1) The attribute changes mentioned here are a replacement of the attributes’ current functionality. 2) You will not be able to respec your attributes on each clone unless you are given a global respec with an update.

Any plans to revisit the top-level ammo costs or increase high level mob credit/drop value? Classes that have high-ammo usage are prohibitively costly to play in comparison to the low/no-ammo usage such as spy and guardian.
Also Pet AI.. are there any plans in place to allow us to direct the attacks of our turrets/bots/battlefield clones/mind-controlled pets at a specific target? Most tend to stand around and choose targets at random, ignoring immunities and such.
currently the guardian is the the worst char to play its slow and has very litle variety and cant kill a lvl 50 strider solo at 47 48 49 even a medic with a lvl 25 injector gun can kill a strider . my question is this
WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GONNA MAKE THE GUARDIAN EFFECTIVE . it sucks at pvp its staff weapon is usless compared to a spy or a medic . i feel left out and betrayed by nc soft . ive devoted all my play time in a char that should be at the fore front of the game . we ned boosting . but i guess no devs play as guardian so its looking like im wont renew my game time when this month ends !.
Ooo, a black cat, I was hoping for a skitterin (they are cute). But a cat will do nicely.
Seeing as I don’t have a char on Orion and that Wilderness and Divide is almost devoid of bugs (I can only remember 2
) it will take some time to test higher level stuff on the PTS.
I have probably missed this somewhere, but when characters are copied from a server to the PTS are the character from the previous copy deleted? I have some characters that was copied from Centaurus.
Yay ! Also can’t wait for hide-helmet option !
Not sure where the “suggestion box” is but on Divide, when the Dam CP is lost to the Bane, can u make it so that the main base (where the worm hole lives) goes offline? So the worm hole would stop working along with other things.
It would tie-in a bit more as the dam is meant to power the base, so when it gets taken over power should be cut.
Hi, Im loving the game at the mo, and i know its early days but will there be any expansions in the future, maybe like a new planet..
say return to EARTH ? that would be really great with the Earth scorched and in ruins with burnt out cars and buildings everywhere ?
were can u get these alien hybrid faces
i suffer problemw trying to login due to my service provider (or so im told) this is a known problem but has not been addressed by anyone here.... please tell me are you fixcing this OR are you still telling people to chance ISP (this is not realistic) be aware TR is the only MMO that i have this problem with! (im not the only one either!!!)
<From Avatea> Please contact Customer Support on the PlayNC website. They have tools to investigate this type of issue. If your ISP blocks ports necessary to play the game or if their policy results in you not being able to play, we cannot force them to undo it. Certain ISPs are notoriously less flexible than others.
Ok, i may solve some things about the guardian nerf… let’s first relate to one thing, a prot warrior (which i played before i started with TR). as prot you can’t kill anything fast, but the thing that is try ing to kill you will have a loooong battle ahead of itself. The same thing should go for guardian. Maybe not the ‘phattest’ damage in the game, they should instead be incredibly hard to kill!
