General

In this Feedback Friday, Tabula Rasa Designer Brian Hudson gives us an inside look on his main objective for D15 - PVP Control Points!

D13.3 was implemented last night onto the Public Test Server and contains the following fixes and known issues:

D13 is now available on the Public Test Server! Here are the Highlights of this new deployment:

• Series 3 Laser Pistols: AFS personnel are now authorized to dual wield a modified version of the Series 2 laser pistol. Each pistol contains a clip of 30 rounds, and these weapons are fired in alternating sequence to allow an extended firing pattern before needing to reload. (These items may be found rarely on bosses throughout the game world.)
• Additional item sets have been added which will drop off all creatures in the game.  Some creatures have a higher drop chance then others.
• PTS ONLY: Players will now have access to a basic suite of commands for Bot Construction, Clone, and Spotter.  These will be assigned by default to the function keys, or players can use the new /cmd.  We encourage everyone to try these out on PTS and submit feedback on their functionality.
• Mimeogel has been renamed to Mimeomech
• Many high end junk loot items are now salvageable for mimeomech.  Items should say in the tooltip if it is salvageable. 

Deployment 13 is on PTS! We’d love to hear your feedback!

You can find a list of everything that was changed in the Public Test Server Patch Notes.

We have an exciting piece of news to announce, and a not-so exciting one. The gist of it is you’ll get to hear a lot more about and from Susan Kath from now on, since she has become our brand new Lead Designer!

Hello TabulaRasians,


Deployment 12 is live!  We hope you’re enjoying the new content. To see the list of changes in this build, check out our Deployment 12 patch notes. 

D12 is now available on the Live servers and as usual we are giving you the Highlights of this new deployment:

• The tier selection process has changed in several ways.  Individual trainers for each class have been replaced by one single trainer on maps that had trainers previously. 
• Series 2 Physical Chaingun: This newly developed fully automatic weapon has the ability to punch through enemy combatants, cutting down anything in its direct line of fire.  This comes at a cost however, of reduced accuracy and the inability to lock a specific target.
• Series 2 Laser Pistol: With the ability to fire 3 shots per rapid fire burst, this weapon is ideal for eliminating individual targets at close range without drawing too much attention. 
• Instance: Omega Labs (Torden Abyss): This new instance map is available for players level 50+ . Omega Labs can only be accessed from Section 5 of Penumbra HQ, which has the highest security clearance in the facility.

For the full set of patchnotes, head over to that section.

There will a PlayNC.com maintenance, today 17 September, from 3:30PM British Summer Time (4:30PM Central European Summer Time) to approximately 5:30PM BST (6:30PM CEST). During this time account management will be offline.

D12.4 has been implemented onto the Public Test Server today and contains a load of fixes.

It is that time of the week again, and today we’re discussing Series 2 and series 3 progressive weapons!
