Big Features:
- Enhancement Tree & Class Updates
- New Loot
- New Quests!
- The last set of new quests are available to try! You can visit these quests in the Morgrave Public Area, which is also now available to preview by visiting the airship to Morgrave in Sharn. You may still need to speak with the Keymaster in the Test Dojo to have access to the quests. Note: this includes all quests with the exception of the Raid, which will get its own preview soon.
Other Changes:
Changes new to this preview are listed in blue!Balance and Gameplay Changes:
- Tomes of Learning and Epic Tomes of Learning (both Greater and Lesser) have been upgraded and now check each tier of difficulty independently to determine if you are "repeating" a quest. This means that completing a dungeon on Heroic will not count as "completed" for the Epic tome, so you'll be eligible for the Tome's first time bonus again separately.
- Huge Black Puddings can no longer subdivide into 8 slimes (just 4 max now)
- Ravager's Laughter now reliably adds Fury to your character.
- The Challenge XP panel is no longer a string table error.
- Consecration now heals Hirelings (note: this note was erroneously in U60 release but is actually here)
- When you have items in the store queue and clear the queue, the queue icon now properly clears itself from you when the queue is empty.
- Lighting the Candle's buff now has the correct text for real this time
- Fixed a mess of errors and typos in the tavern keepers logic in the harbor
- Augmented Summons Feat from temporary sources will now work on henchmen
- The Augmented summon buff will no longer be stripped from henchmen when they die
- Various summon enhancements from the warlock enlightened spirit tree and magus destiny will now work on henchmen again and also not be stripped on death or rest.
- Knock down animations on pixies will no longer blip
- Caster Level scaling should now work as expected on all Rune Arm shots.
- You can no longer move the Rune Arm Charge UI (note: this is to fix a bug with attacking while charging a runearm)
- A set of performance updates have been applied to the game that affect combat bonuses, spell casting, login times, and regen in public spaces in an effort to reduce generalized and gameplay lag.
