General
PvP servers are now enabled. The primary PvP server will be The Dead Vault (East Coast). If you are concerned about lag from the West Coast or if The Dead Vault is full, please choose Union of Shadow (West Coast).
- The corpses of NPCs killed by guard NPCs will now quickly decay since they are not lootable by players.
- Adjusted water physics a bit so the player doesn't go quite as deep when falling into the water, which makes falls into water a bit more survivable than before.
- Trying to salvage something that isn't salvageable should show a message now.
- Reduced the font size of the title on quest journal header so NPC quest givers with longer names should fit better, such as Foreman Aldeus.
- Player pets will no longer move to attack targets that are deemed too far away.
- Adjusted drag and drop a bit so that there needs to be a bit more movement before dragging begins, which should mean less instances where you drag a hot bar ability by mistake when you were just trying to click on it to activate it.
- Added a brief delay before the ability tooltip appears.
- Spell Power contribution for damage shields adjusted.
- Auto attack with a ranged weapon, such as a bow, now requires line of sight to the target.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue that happened sometimes with looting coins from mob corpses.

- Auto-combining of stackable items when they are right-clicked into the bank is now re-enabled on a trial basis. We believe we may have fixed the issues that it was causing when it was previously in the game. However, be aware that if we start seeing issues with it, we may need to disable it, which we can do without requiring another patch.
- Items in player corpse bags now show the proper loot tooltip and both right and left click work to loot the item.
- Fixed an issue where quest items gave an error about the item not being needed when players tried to loot them from their corpse.
- Fixed an issue where player pets were teleporting to their target in certain cases.
- Abilities that teleport your group, such as the wizard gateways or the druid stone abilities, no longer teleport group members who have died but haven't released yet.
