In the first State of the Game letter since the departure of several top level Fallen Earth team members, interim producer Marie "Aro Sei" Croall has penned a terrific look at where the game is headed. The letter gives players a look at developers' plans for the next couple of months and it's an impressive array of new material.

• Physical combat changes coming to the PTS for player feedback
• Graphics upgrades
• Overhaul of the tutorial
• Free ammo Blood Sports celebration for Black Friday (November 26th)
• Dev weekend on the PTS (November 27-28)
• Focusing on different high-end group content/world boss mechanics, improvements to the serendipity system, new recipes and encounter areas as well as continuing to work on balancing Progress Towns. We will also be implementing a system that will enable us to balance AP better without restricting player’s ability to earn it. Once we have this system in place we will be able to offer new ways to earn AP, making alternative play styles more viable.
• In-game contests as well as introducing our Rally mission series and giving out presents
• Custom armor colorization
