All FTs are forced to wear a monocle at 50 or am I bugged?

p.s. I've been through a few client reboots already.
That certainly is strange, I'll file a bug on that today and we'll sort it out on our end.
Thanks!

Yes. Red Tide was somewhat of a prototype for Bey's Retreat, which is the basis we'll use for level 50 epic missions. At the same time, we're going to be developing more Red Tide like missions.

And then you want us to pay up for a guide?

That feels like a slap in the face.

Is the lack of playability without the guide a marketing trick for the guide? I know the answer is probably no, but that is how it feels at times...
Sorry folks, this really was my fault. Gavin came to me wondering if we could publish information about the RP story arch, and I asked him to share the information about the guide and the potential to publish a walkthrough via one of our fansite partners.

We mentioned the guide purely as the resource it is, but I was hesitant to commit to publishing walkthrough until we had people in place working on it. Fortunately, we've been able to secure some writers for this purpose, and a walkthrough guide detailing the RP story arch will be made available in short order.

My apologies for ruffling any feathers, that was certainly not the intent.

Best,
Aether

Dang. Aeyrn was kind enough to leave the thread open for continued discussion, but alas, it's not to be.

Hello all,

Just a quick reminder. Folks are welcome to post their likes and dislikes about the game and experiences with the game. Folks are welcome to disagree and even debate.

However, let's please keep the personal digs out of the debating, m'kay?

It gives 4 defense (all), 2 Bow DR. It stacks with Plug Leaks (7) and natural DR, meaning you could briefly have 14 bow DR on an Arcadia... not that it'd be wise.

Defense Bow DR is a minor bonus, not the point of the skill. It helps compensate for a mistake, especially combined with Plug Leaks.

Cut Shroud does more debuff than it did in 1.1. Deter Pursuit is less, but still more than FT Deter Pursuit.

Most speed debuffs already didn't stack in 1.2, or when they did the stacking behavior was broken. The speed debuff change applies to all careers.
