The Tabula Rasa Community site has been updated with their regular Feedback Friday feature which takes a look at the 1.7 patch and answers a few player questions.

We hope you’ve had a great week (aside from the constant Bane attacks and carnage you’ve come across on the Front Lines). This Feedback Friday we’d like to talk a bit about the status of the 1.7 build and give a little insight on what we're currently working on here at Destination Games. Also, we’ll answer a few questions and address some common topics from the Feedback From.

1.7 – When can we see it?

We’re finishing up some testing with the 1.7 build and fixing a few issues before we make it public. We hope to have a fresh build ready for PTS some time next week. What else can you expect in 1.7? Here’s one more preview before it goes to PTS:

• Respawns: Palisades, Incline, and Plains have had their spawns significantly adjusted to better balance spawn across the full map. Divide and Wilderness have had spot adjustments to remove a few excessively tough areas.
• Aggro adjustments: Bane and other aggressive mobs on Wilderness, Divide, Plains, Mires, Plateau, and Marshes have adjustments to their aggro groups. You will no longer be able to shoot a Bane in the back and expect that his buddies won't notice. Also, Bane at higher levels will react smarter and more violently compared to their lower level counterparts.
