Patch 27 - Patch Notes
We had several crash fixes that were implemented. We are aware of a couple things remaining that could potentially cause crashes and we are working on them. If you do crash, please post information on the support forums with specifics about your crash so we can assist you more quickly.
Thanks,
Performance
• Fixed bad character information causing dungeons to start at incorrect AI levels
• Fixed an issue causing characters to be left in the world after logging out or leaving a session to join another
• Change how clients are informed about characters in the world, this should help avoid crashes during asynchronous loads
• Changed how some animations are update to avoid potential crash

Patch 26 - Founder’s Perk Update

• Add a level fallback for an edge case where dungeons are not getting their dungeon settings, causing low level AI
• Add Arena PvP map and added gates that start closed and open after warmup
• Fix potential crashes when loading quadrupeds
• Integrate Coherent code for customizable UI

Grizzak’s Mire Introduced - Patch 24
• Grizzak’s Mire is a Player vs. Player map that uses a capture mechanic to acquire resources (identical to Broadmoor Ravine). Players are divided into two teams. The teams each have a symbol on the top left of the UI. The objective of the map is to acquire a total of 2000 resources. There are three main capture points on the map. When players stand in an uncontested capture area, a progress bar will indicate that the objective is being captured. A contested area takes a little longer to contest and then capture. Once an objective is captured players will begin to acquire resources for the objective. In addition to the main objectives there is an orb of power. The orb acts as a 4th objective giving resources to the team that owns the orb. Players can acquire the orb by running over it. Once acquired, players will keep the orb until they stealth or are killed.
Performance
• Fixed banners at capture points that would not work at times
• Notice after PvP map to use bind stone if you do not wish to queue for the next match
• Improved PvP map load times
• Fix issues with some players not being able to capture points
• Improved Combat animation
• Fixed leveling error when using mounts
• Fixed a bug where Halfling’s could not climb ladders.
• Boss dungeon door locks have been fixed and should allow players to pass when boss is killed.
• PvP experience now displayed in UI
• Team chat /t will now be the default for PvP
• Winning team will now receive 3 tokens for winning
• Ability icons will now turn gray while they are on cooldown.

Patch 22 - Patch Notes
This patch is the beginning of several changes coming to the player classes in the game. The goal is to provide a more balanced gameplay experience from each class but not to make all classes the same. We view this as an ongoing process that we anticipate the community to be involved in.

Class Ability Adjustments
• Class ability adjustments are to all levels of the ability unless otherwise specified.

Stealthed players will now be undetectable when standing behind an NPC, when standing in front you have a limited time til they see you (~4 seconds).
