Tabula Rasa is adding a new arena in v1.8 but needs community assistance to name it. Check it out:

The AFS has announced a new fighting arena and need YOUR help in naming it! This new arena sports a large fighter's ring complete with red and blue "corners", bar, medic station, upper deck viewing area, and several recreation rooms. AFS officials have condoned the use of this new area for both 1 vs. 1 and Squad vs. Squad fighting events. The new AFS Arena is accessible from several locations, so even new recruits can join in on the fun.

High Command ordered the location to be built, but they aren't too creative when it comes to naming. We're asking YOU soldier, to submit your ideas for the new Arena name by Friday, April 11, 2008 to trcontests@ncsoft.com. Who knows, we might just pick your entry!

Tabula Rasa Vault has posted a Q&A; entitled: Response from March 1st Mini Report. Here's a snip:

- Controlled Fission -

This has been an issue since at least 1.3. In PvP, if a target is affected by Fission and is KILLED by Fission's discharge, the target will be affected by what some call the "armor bug" or the "Fission bug". Armor will completely stop regenerating naturally, but can still be healed by boosters and tools. This happens EVERY time a target is killed by Fission. Health and power seem to completely stop regenerating naturally too. Relogging is the only way to fix this. People have /bugged it for a while now but it has not been fixed, nor mentioned as a known issue in any patch notes.

Dev_Harleyquin: This has been fixed in 1.7.

The official TR site has this week's Feedback Friday posted with a look at the upcoming v1.6 patch. Here's what you'll find:

Sneak peek at version 1.6:

With 1.6 in the works right now, we thought we'd give you a sneak peek of what you will able to experience for yourself once 1.6 goes live. These are but a couple of those handy little features that were requested at some point or another and we would be happy to get your feedback on some of the changes outlined below by using our Feedback Form.

Kill Streak Multiplier

The kill streak multiplier has been updated to make leveling easier at higher levels. Previously, the same multiplier was available to everyone regardless of their level and players could only reach a maximum of plus 250%.

The multiplier will be changed to a whole number and the maximum multiplier increases as players go up in level. The whole numbers will look a bit familiar to you if you played back in beta, but a lot has changed as to when you'll get the bonus.

* Up to Level 9, maximum multiplier is x2
* From 10 to 19, maximum multiplier is x3
* From 20 to 29, maximum multiplier is x4
* From 30 to 39, maximum multiplier is x5
* From 40 onward, maximum multiplier is x6
