  • Added technology to further improve texture and model quality in the future
  
  
• We added some tunable caps for stackable AP buffs -- we understand that this is a core part of the strategy so we tried to keep it pretty high, to reward high skillcap players, but not so high that everything in the game becomes trivial. We are testing this, and would love to get feedback from our player base about what feels like the right amount to stack.
  
• Made legendary weapon modifiers for tank weapons more relevant to role (will only roll on newly created legendary weapons)
  
• Legendary weapons can be synthesized to a new tier, while retaining the modifiers, enhancement levels, and infusion levels it had before
  
• Heavily reworked and refreshed sword throwing physics to be closer to real world physics, allowing things like putting spin on your throw, etc. [Player Top Issue]
  
• You can now start gliding while standing in an updraft without needing to jump
  
• Sensitive Gliding is now the default gliding mode when a character is created
  
• Quest beacons/locations no longer show or trigger for untracked quests
  
• Updated wording on the tooltip for the EM Tank ultimate slot to clarify that it is activated by doing the reverse motion to EM DPS ultimate
  
• Swapping godstones now resets the cooldown
  
• Stores now have scrolling windows so you can more easily sell your goods and gear
  
• Aether Spark was listed as "40% AP" damage, however a bug caused it to do 0% damage. In this patch we have fixed the bug and adjusted it to do 10% AP damage, so while the UI says the damage has been reduced (40% to 10%), the actual damage value has increased (0% to 10%).
  
• Added ability to open chests by touching them with your hand
  
• Added icon to HUD to show other players which role you are (DPS, Tank, Support)
