The Guardian has been released!

AQ3D Cysero Guardian

All of our AQ3D Guardian level backers can pick up the class from Faith in the Trainers Hall.

Remember that this is the AQ3D Guardian and it is still a work in progress so anything could change but we wanted your initial thoughts. The rest of the armor, the Guardian Blade, and Guardian Tower (with exclusive quests/shops for Guardians Only) are not in game yet. Finally, please keep in mind that this is the AQ3D Guardian and while your AQ Classic Guardianship allows you to test AQ3D (In addition to all of the Guardian perks in AQ classic) but does not grant you the AQ3D version of the Guardian Class. New game, new Guardians.

KNOWN ISSUES

We rely on you testers to help us find bugs and report them to Artix.com/bugs but some of them we already know about. Here are some of the more commonly reported ones

Lighting issues in certain spots (flickering, turning red, blue, black, all of the above)
There are issues with quest progress saving; players have reported losing progress in their quests; we are still in the process of investigating the issue.
There may be texture issues which appear when using the Shadow Detail slider. This can be fixed by equipping a different item to refresh.

AQ3D SKinsuit
I call this the Buffalo Bill special. Wearing someone's face for a hat and their skin texture glitched onto my cape.

Trees in Greenguard North will periodically break, making them unclickable; we are investigating this issue.
Runestones in Greenguard North are still in hiding; we are doing our best to find them!
With the updated combat animations, there will be times where the animations don’t “blend” perfectly; we are still in the process of working on these!

Have fun with AQ3D Pre-Beta 0.0.58
