_____________________


Items
  • Changed the icons of some gem items to match the color specified in the item's name.
  • Inner Turmoil (Raid) - Fixed the 'Destroy the rubbish' effect on the Trash item. The cast and recast times were removed and the number of charges has been set to 1.
  • Daily hotzone quest rewards for levels 100 and 105 now have stats and sockets.


Quests & Events
  • Altered the way rares spawn in the Dranik Sewers, Catacombs, and Hollows instances. After killing a number of NPCs in the zone, the chance for the rare to spawn will be activated. They will not spawn 100% of the time, but their chance to spawn has been increased.
  • Altered the way that Xenevorash spawns and activates so it will now be loot-locked.
  • Missions from The Burning Lands that take place in Plane of Fire will no longer send corpses to the graveyard.
  • Added a calendar event that highlights when the Extra Life bonus period will happen.
  • Final Fugue (Raid) - The Tertiary Echo will now break Margator out of his spin and break his speed increase. This means that the 'Speed Limit' achievement can be achieved using this method.
  • The following achievements have been restored as the underlying quests have been fixed:
  • * The Hero's Journey - Surefall Glade Quests - Gnoll Paws
  • * The Hero's Journey - Ak'Anon Quests - Tinmizer's Fabulous Compactor


Spells
  • Shrink spells will no longer cause pets to grow if they are already smaller than the new spell would make them.
  • Spells that triggercast the highest rank of another spell should no longer consume an extra Frenzied Devastation counter.


Miscellaneous
  • Added the item quantity, item name, and sender's name to the chat message when receiving a parcel delivery.
  • Auras will no longer cast shadows.
  • Improved zone server performance to reduce lag spikes during raid wins.
  • Reduced world server lag during raid events.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the Expansion column on the Server Select screen to be blank for servers with Laurion's Song unlocked.
  • Fixed an issue where attempting to enter a house or guild hall would send you to a different neighborhood.


UI
  • Added a minimum height to the Task Selection window's list of offered tasks.
  • Added commas to the DoN currency, coin, and Alternate Currency quantities in the Inventory window.
  • Adjusted the default column widths of the Alternate Currency list in the Inventory window.
  • Changed:
  • EQUI_BlockedBuffWnd.xml
  • EQUI_BlockedPetBuffWnd.xml
  • EQUI_Inventory.xml
  • EQUI_TaskSelectWnd.xml
  • InventoryWindowAltCurr.html
  • InventoryWindowInv.html
  • main.css


Previously Updated
  • In-game window positions should be as expected when launching the game, for the first time, with a maximized desktop window.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing display device reset failures with a fullscreen window.
  • Made a speculative fix to correct the game window's rendering resolution.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented the client from opening a fullscreen mode window.
