I like this new guy. Always keeping us informed. Stoked for 7 heroes, then I can finally finish WiK.

Nice to know the guy's got a sense of humor.

I deleted my characters who completed Factions a while back. Oh well, had better go through the game again in time for the new content.

Clearly "FB" is "Fall Back!"
They are changing it to where it only increases movement speed when moving away from hostile targets. Duh.

/signed and +1 this should be a sticky!

Oops.

I may have been the guy that accused John of being more into costumes than development.

But, to be fair, the majority of the game's development the last few months has been focused on costumes.

FB = Form Battles. It's when you can PvP while wearing costumes and/or under the effects of tonics.

FB=Feature Build. It basically means any type of major content update, such as Embark Beach and full hero parties.

I don't think it was costumes as much as it was the Heart of the North stories and the special events.

It is Feature Build.

Thank you for making this thread! It's nice to see news and updates condensed into one place.

Grunntar · Jan 09, 2011, 12:13 AM // 00:13

Excellent thread! I would like to see dates next to each quote, though, so I don't need to read them all again to make sure that I didn't miss anything.

Wyndy · Jan 09, 2011, 03:14 AM // 03:14

I agree with Grunntar. Adding the date of the quote would be tremendously helpful. Thanks for this thread Gnome and thanks for the sticky!

Necromas · Jan 09, 2011, 07:02 AM // 07:02

Love this sticky!

It's much easier than having to dig around for info on my own.

dancing gnome · Jan 11, 2011, 02:05 AM // 02:05

Almost all of the quotes are dated at the end. I just copy and past them from the wiki pages and almost all wiki "posts" are dates with a signature at the end of it. I'll have a think about the formatting of the post later on, maybe I could ditch categories and just use spoiler tags for dates, each date would be in a different tag regardless of what it's contents are. It would make finding all information on a specific topic harder but it would make following the thread a little bit easier for people who don't regularly check it (not like there's been much to update it with lately).

NeHoMaR · Jan 15, 2011, 06:55 AM // 06:55

Waiting for that "Feature Build".

So I have heard rumors about a Survivor title update?.....anyone know if this holds water or just blowing smoke?

Stumme said he was looking at a title/s he wasn't 100% happy with at the moment but considering how almost every title has a severe flaw in it's design it's anyone's guess which titles he's looking at (making them all account wide would be a big start). I didn't add the quote to the thread because there didn't appear to be much meat to it and it may not even come to pass. Most of the recent comments have been pretty light in substance.

Personally I think the survivor title is the least broken title - I don't see how you'd change it aside from maybe making it account wide so GWAMM chasers don't feel like their main they created prior to the existence of titles can get credit for that XX hours some random toon spent in Irontoe's Layer seeing as that's how valuable the survivor title is these days.

Add NPC to reset your character to level 1.

Chthon · Jan 25, 2011, 08:16 PM // 20:16

Fix for survivor is easy: Restart the counter each time you die and allow you to try again from zero. No meaningful difference from rolling a new character if you take into account how easy it is to have a guildmate rush you through until you can do boxing.

I have heard rumors about so many updates, and still see none
