Dear Traveller,
We hope you're doing well! Tomorrow, Tuesday February 8th, at 3pm CET / 6am PT, we're excited to be rolling out an update containing both new content (which we'll talk more about tomorrow) and a host of bug fixes to Book of Travels. Below you can read up on what those fixes do, specifically.
Note that the servers are expected to be down for maintenance between 1pm and 3pm CET, so that we can apply the changes and do some "dusting".
General Changes
- Character level achievements now trigger retroactively when logging in (for non-deleted characters in the same region).
Bug Fixes
Combat
- Your ward will now get used if you get attacked while casting a knot spell. You will no longer be instantly defeated if hit while casting a spell.
- Fixed a bug that caused NPCs to occasionally joining a combat situation when they shouldn't (like chickens).
- Several cases of incorrect timings and double-triggered animations in combat solved.
- Characters sometimes not drawing their sword at the end of the combat initiative counter solved.
- Players no longer incorrectly exits the Hand on Sword state when entering it from walking or running.
- NPCs can no longer initiate combat with a player who is currently being robbed, or currently engaged in combat with another event (this solves several corner cases of getting stuck in combat).

- Fixed player sliding when stopping while in animal form.
- Running can no longer be entered when in water by right-clicking interactables.

UI
- Stacking items in Trainmasters Chest should now work properly and not lead to items disappearing.
