Q: Are the anniversary bonuses really working?



A: Yes. We're seeing some reports that they are not – but so far, in every case, the problem has been that when we rebooted the servers, many of the camp bonuses for underused areas were reset. In other words, what you were seeing yesterday in some places was several weeks of camp bonuses. What you are seeing today is the base XP being doubled, but without the camp bonus being built up for several weeks. We will keep watching, of course, and we are investigating new reports. And by we, I mean Rob, the guy who spearheaded the double plus goodness for everyone. He feels very paternal about it.

Q: Why do heroes get Tactics, where the other main tanks do not?

A: From the RedHeaded Stepchild, my pet designer: "Tactics was the old hero RR5. It wasn't very good, so it was replaced with a better RR5. The same thing happened to Armsmen with Snapshot. Because we didn't want to take these abilities away from them completely, we awarded it at a certain spec in shield, just like we awarded snapshot at a certain crossbow spec for Armsman."
