In this week's Feedback Friday, we have a little surprise for you, we hope you like it.
"We never saw it coming, but our leaders did."
Sarah Morrison, AFS
Handpicked and plucked from the midst of a devastating attack, the Logos-receptive Humans were transported off Earth in a final retreat. Of the 6.7 billion men, women, and children of Humanity, only a handful were saved to wage the war against the Bane on distant planets. There was no fighting the overwhelming forces invading Earth - there was only enough time to cut and run and mourn our dead from a far off galaxy. Earth was lost, they told us. Annihilated by the Bane.
They were wrong.
Earth is alive, though she is far from well. The Bane continue to destroy and ravage the planet, bombarding it, infesting it, and populating it with new and vicious troops suited to the terran environment. The men and women we left behind, those not fortunate enough to die in the initial attack, have organized their own fight against the invaders. They are strapped for resources, scraping to get by. For the survivors, "Hell on Earth" has become day-to-day reality.
How do we go home? Who are these survivors? Why are the Bane unable to wipe out Earth and Humanity as they've done to so many other galactic civilizations? To learn the answers, you'll need to join us as Tabula Rasa returns home to Earth in Deployment 15. In addition to taking the fight back to our home turf in one of the most iconic cities on Earth, the first Tabula Rasa Earth map will include:
* Epic instanced control point gameplay for level 48 to 50 players
* All new setting and art design
* New monsters, including new Epic creatures and mini-bosses. These new Epic creatures are designed to be a greater challenge, requiring the efforts of coordinated squads with excellent weapons and gear to be defeated.
* PvE Mech gameplay opportunities
* New armor sets available only on Earth.
We'll release additional information about Earth as we get closer to D15, but in the meantime, events are gearing up on Foreas and Arieki that will lead towards the return home. Future maps will continue this storyline, providing new battlefronts in the fight for Earth's defense. As always, we welcome your feedback on this and other changes planned for Tabula Rasa!
