Of Special Note:

Free To Play!
DDO Unlimited introduces an innovative new way to play - you can download and play DDO for free! For even moreaction and fun, you can purchase additional adventures, convenience items, and account services at your leisure from the new DDO Store. Can't get enough of DDO? You can even subscribe, becoming a "VIP", to get unlimited access to all of the game's content. To learn more about playing for free or becoming a VIP, click here!

DDO Store Now Available!
The DDO Store is a new in-game feature that allows you to purchase additional adventures, convenience items, and account enhancements all without needing to exit the game! By using Turbine Points in the DDO Store, you can unlock game features, quests, convenience items, and more! Players can earn Turbine Points by playing the game, or even purchase Turbine Points in the DDO Store directly!

You can open the DDO Store in-game by any of the following methods:

• Press Ctrl-S
• Click on the golden fan icon in your menu bar
• Click on any of the in-game DDO Store banners found in various NPC vendor windows
• The DDO Store will also open automatically whenever you click on the game feature or adventure you're interested in if you don't already have access to that feature or adventure yet!

Now you're ready to explore all the fun and excitement waiting for you in the DDO Store! You can browse the Store and select items you'd like to buy with your Turbine Points without needing to log out of the game. The items and features you buy will be automatically added to your account or character right in the game, no waiting required!

For more information about the DDO Store, visit our FAQ.

Turbine Download Manager
The Turbine Download Manager (TDM) makes it easier to get into our games and start playing! The Turbine Download Manager offers new players the opportunity to start playing the game before they have completed the entire download and installation of the game.

Using TDM you'll experience a (tiered) download; meaning that after a relatively small initial download, you can jump right into character creation and make a character! While creating your characters, the tutorial will download in the background; while playing the tutorial, the public portion of the starting area, Korthos Village, will download; and while you're playing through those first few Village quests, the Korthos wilderness will download in the background. Finally, as you're finishing up your journey through Korthos, the full game will download. There may be brief periods of waiting while the next tier is downloading, particularly for players with slower internet connections, but the wait time to start playing has been significantly reduced from the days when the entire game had to be downloaded and installed before you could ever create a character!

The Turbine Download Manager also offers the following features:

• Peer-to-peer downloading, allowing you to download files even faster
• Schedule downloads by time of day and day of week
• Set overall capacity and speed limits
• More control over your download experience
• Set limits based on what other applications you are running
• Pause and have the download automatically resume at a later time
• UPnP support (if your router and firewall support it and are configured correctly)

If you're an existing player who has a Stormreach edition of DDO, you can patch up to DDO Unlimited normally. In the future, more TDM features will be introduced, such as allowing existing players to enjoy forward patching. If you're brand new to DDO, click hereto get started!

Welcome to Level 20!
The level cap has been increased to 20! Experience is now capped at 1,900,000 points! Discover more abilities, feats, enhancements for your character!

New Class: Favored Soul
Favored Souls draw on divine magic to both heal and destroy. Like clerics, Favored Souls have access to powerful healing spells, but they are also more skilled with weapons than any other spell caster. Like sorcerers, they get a larger number of spell points than other spell casters but cannot freely switch spells at taverns or rest shrines. Players will be able to unlock the Favored Soul by reaching 2500 total favor on a character or by purchasing it in the DDO Store! To learn more about Favored Soul features, be sure to check the class abilities and enhancement sections of these release notes, or visit the Compendium entry for Favored Soul!

Chat Improvements
Enjoy being a part of the larger community and getting connected with other players, thanks to the following all new chat features!

• You can now communicate with other players from across instances and dungeons in general chat! All public spaces, interiors, and dungeons now associate with their nearest public zone for general chat, including multiple instances. Example: If you're in the Lordsmarch Bank, you can still talk with players in all instances of the Marketplace. Freeing Arlos in the Waterworks? You can still chat with players in the harbor! If you're not in the mood to chat you can filter general chat using your chat tab options, or turn it off entirely under Options-Gameplay.
• Two new default chat channels have been added: Trade and Advice!
  
  • Use /trade or /tr to discuss your in-game trades with other players!
  • Use /advice or /a to seek help from (or offer help to) other players!
  • You can view the Trade and Advice channels while questing or inside interior spaces, just like general chat!
  • Not in the mood to chat? You can disable these channels manually in your chat window, or under Options->Gameplay.

Dave Arneson Tribute
A tribute to Dave Arneson has been placed in the Ruins of Threnal NPC area, as this dungeon series was narrated by him. A new item, the Mantle of the Worldshaper, drops at the end of the Threnal series.

• Mantle of the Worldshaper Item: A comforting and inspiring presence surrounds you as you hold this cloak. Arcane runes run along the edges of this fine cape, and masterfully drawn on the silken lining is an incredibly detailed map of a place named "Blackmoor."
  
  • Gives 5% boost to XP (does not stack with Voice of the Master)
  • Set Bonus with Voice of the Master: True Seeing persistent buff

Capstone Enhancements
DDO Unlimited introduces a large number of Prestige Enhancements as well as a new class of Enhancements called "Capstone Enhancements". Capstone Enhancements require 20 levels of a class, and a character can have only one Capstone Enhancement at a time. We have given one Capstone Enhancement to each class for DDO Unlimited's launch, but in the future it is likely that more will be created. Take a look at the available Capstones by clicking here!

Combat & Gameplay Features

Introducing Smart Targeting
Introducing our new smart targeting system! In conjunction with a number of UI changes, the smart targeting system is intended to aid in the selection of nearby items, interactable objects, and enemies.
Any target actively selected (either by clicking on it, tabbing to it, or using any other method of selection) is considered a "hard" target. These behave exactly as targets do currently. You can press the escape key to clear your hard target, just as you could before these changes. Hard targets can be identified by the double ring around their feet and a bolder name.
Using the smart targeting system, if you do not have a hard target, a "soft" target will be selected. Monsters within close range are taken as a priority over items and interactables, with selection weighted towards objects that are closer to you and towards the middle of the screen. Most spells and attacks will be aimed at your soft target, but area of effect direction spells (such as fireball) will be fired in the direction you are facing, as if you did not have a target selected. If you move your mouse over a target, your soft target will shift to that one.
If a creature that is a hard target becomes untargetable for a few moments due to incorporeality or teleportation, you will retarget them when they are available again if they are not invalid for more than a few seconds.
In some situations, you may not want to have a close target selected (such as when using ranged weapons). You can use the G key to toggle the smart targeting system on or off. This feature can be further customized in the UI Settings in the Options menu.

Combat Feedback
Significant improvements have been made to combat damage feedback.

• It is now easier to tell when monsters are immune, resistant, or vulnerable to a form of damage, and which number corresponds to what damage type.
• Not only will enemies display damage numbers, but you can see damage being dealt to yourself as well.
• By default, damage is now red, while healing is green.
• You can even customize the color of your combat feedback numbers.
• A health bar will float over the heads of targeted allies and enemies. This option can be toggled on or off using the options panel.

Grazing Hits
To address issues of player dissatisfaction with a high rate of missed attacks and to balance high AC numbers among characters, the "grazing hit" system adds a chance to apply a small amount of damage to monsters and players on attacks that would otherwise have missed if the number rolled on the die is high enough. These hits will appear in your combat log and will also have a visual indicator in floaty damage. The thresholds for when players or monsters can graze on a missed attack is as follows (subject to changes in the future):

Quest Difficulty	Player roll needed	Monster roll needed
Solo	10+	19+
Normal	10+	17+
Hard	10+	15+
Elite	10+	13+

Difficulty Scaling
"Difficulty Scaling" has been introduced into quests and adventure areas. Normal and Hard dungeons (not solo, elite, or raid) will now scale their difficulty based on the size and composition of the party to help "smaller" parties face a more appropriate amount of challenge. Players and hirelings will contribute to the overall strength of the party which influences the difficulty of the dungeon. As a result, several different dungeon elements are adjusted to help keep the challenge of the dungeon in line with the size of the force taking it on. This can include things such as monster spell durations, hit points, and even damage output.Dungeon Alert
A new technology known as "Dungeon Alert" has been introduced into quests and adventure areas. While questing, if you or your party members get the attention of too many monsters, a warning symbol will alert you that you have alerted your enemies to your coming. A warning level of "green skull" appears initially to remind you to be more cautious if you accrue too much aggro. Beyond the green skull alert level, the region's monsters become harder to escape from, and bosses grow challenging having had the time to be alerted to your presence. To reduce your alert level you may kill monsters that are chasing you, sneak past monsters so they don't see you, hide and wait for the monsters to overlook your presence, or other actions to help mitigate the amount of alertness you are triggering in the region.New Default Keymapping
DDO Unlimited introduces some new default keymapping settings to help players who are sailing to Stormreach from other gameplay styles.

• Default- This is the new default keymapping! It will not overwrite your custom keymapping if you're an existing player, but new players will have these settings by default:

Left Mouse Button - Attack / Interact Right Mouse Button - Steer / Select WASD - Movement keys Q - Select next interactable Ctrl+ Q - Select previous interactable E - Interact/Pick up R - Auto run F - Push to talk Z - Inspect/examine X - Experience information C - Character Sheet V - Toggle names G - Toggle smart targeting L - Quest Journal C - Character Sheet V - Toggle names

G - Toggle smart targeting L - Quest Journal M - Map P - In-game Adventure Compendium O - Social Panel I - Inventory SPACE - Jump T - Toggle Mouse-look \ - Main menu J - Dungeon Status ' - Select nearest combat target TAB - Select next combat target F1 - Select yourself F 2 - Select group member 2 F 3 through F6 - Select group member 3 - 6 1 through 10 - shortcut 1... 10

• Classic- This option is for the default keymapping of the classic DDO Stormreach, as it existed prior to DDO Unlimited.
• FPS Style: This keymapping is designed for players who are more accustomed to a first person shooter style gaming experience. When using this setting, you will notice the following differences between it and the default style:
  
  • Left Mouse Button - Attack
  • Mouse-look is defaulted to "On"

Remember that if you have customized your controls, but want to experiment with the new control schemes, be sure to make a copy of your keymapping file if you want to over-write with your custom settings. To do so, save a copy of the following files somewhere else in your computer: UserPreferences.ini and ddo.keymap.

PvP Improvements

Challenge System
A new "Challenge" system has been added to the game to allow players to challenge one another to duels without having to go to a tavern first! Party leaders can now challenge another group to a player vs. player match from anywhere in the game!
By selecting an opponent or opponent party and clicking the challenge icon, group leaders (or even solo players) can initiate a challenge window to negotiate the terms of a match. Once all players agree to the terms, both parties will be directly teleported to the selected arena for their duel. FIGHT!
Other PVP Improvements

• Added a confirmation dialog when entering a PvP match as part of a PvP party.

• The Quest Portal UI will no longer display an incorrect quest difficulty.
• When multiclassing at a trainer, any warnings the trainer gives you now have the warning highlighted as well as the class that you are training to.

Combat Improvements

• Shield blocking has been made more responsive following attacks.
• Wands can now be activated using the "attack" button. Autoattack does not autofire wands, though click-and-hold attacking will activate the wand each time the cooldown is up.

• Ability damage now regenerates at a rate of 1 point of each ability score per minute.
• Negative levels fade at a rate of 1 per 2 minutes.

• Hirelings no longer appear partially invisible or black in the distance when running DirectX 10.
• Shavarath Portals now have a Focus Orb Image.

Hireling Improvements

• Changes have been made to the behavior of hireling contracts to increase the overall value of them, and to eliminate a few hireling-related bugs:
  
  • Hireling contracts will self-destruct in 60 minutes. When you first usea hireling contract, it will begin a one hour "decay" (contract does not decay while you are logged out of game) timer before the contract is destroyed. During this hour (of game time), you can use the contract as many times as you like (as long as it's not on cooldown), increasing hireling usefulness in quest chains. If the contract expires while you're in a dungeon with the hireling, nothing bad will happen - you just won't be able to summon it anymore, and they'll go away when you leave the dungeon. You can have multiple contracts in reserve, as the decay timer is not shared between contracts and doesn't start until the particular contract has actually been activated.
  • When you dismiss a hireling, they go and sulk in the tavern for a few minutes to drown their sorrows (with a cool glass of yummy milk) at the indignity of being booted from the party. All of that specifichireling's contracts will go on a five minute cooldown.
  • Hireling contracts from NPC vendors can only be used near the dungeon entrance. It's where they enter your adventure, and they hate getting lost. Gold Seal hireling contracts waive this restriction.
• Hirelings have gotten better about using levers and switches.
• Hirelings are less likely to go brain dead now.
• Skirvir Stormedge now sells level 17-20 hireling contracts in the Marketplace.
• A low level hireling vendor has been added to Korthos Village.
• Hirelings will be more likely to use Mnemonic enhancement potions when they have low spell points, if they happen to be carrying them.
• Hireling barbarians and sorcerers will no longer get so obsessed with out of reach crates and barrels that they ignore you.
• Hirelings will heal party members who really need it, even when they are in aggressive mode.
• Higher level hirelings no longer have Cure Light Wounds as one of the spells you can select in their hot bar. They still have it in their spell list.
• A rune in the Waterworks has been moved to allow Hirelings to better access it.
• Ever have a hireling skip out on you in the middle of a quest? The Coin Lords have worked out a few contract disputes and hirelings will now stick with you in a quest until you release them.
• Hireling tools bars now show cooldowns for their abilities.
• Hirelings will no longer cast all spells and instead will choose from a set spell list. You can see Hireling spell lists in the Compendium by clicking here!
• Hireling tooltips have been updated to display what abilities they use.
• Hirelings are now better at performing commands that can only target themselves or an ally.
• Hireling "Full Metal" can now cast Zeal.

Shopping
In-game Vendors

• The portable hole now has an expanded shop roster. Wizards and Sorcerers rejoice!
• When selling to pawnbrokers, remember that unlike Tavern-keepers and general vendors, other players can purchase an item you've sold to the NPC. Additionally, it is intended that items sold to pawnbrokers will not appear in your buyback list. Instead the item will appear for purchase in the sell tab of the pawnbroker's list.
• Shields and Light weapons have been added to the two generic vendors in Korthos Village.
• In response to changing economic conditions, Masei Mkembe in Zawabi's Refuge has slashed his prices - check them out!
• The NPC Vagan Taneer, who trades for Planar Shards, will no longer steal your shards if you are already holding an exclusive reward item of his in your inventory.
• Mari Mosshand has realized her stocks are running low, and she had better conserve her stores!
• Feat Respec costs now follow a standardized (level ^ 3) * 100 gold piece formula. An Exceptional Siberys Dragonshard is now required to respec feats for characters of levels 13 - 16, and a Flawless Siberys Dragonshard is required to respec feats for characters of levels 17 - 20. These can be found in treasure, or created at a Stone of Change through Dragonshard combination.
• Free players will have a buy back history of 10 items.
• Protection from element scrolls will be sold at proper vendors.
• The armor and weapons pawns in Reaver's Refuge are now correctly marked as such. Their shops have now also been set to accept high level loot.

Items

• Many pieces of gear have been improved, and named loot has been added to many quests.
• Minos Legens no longer grants the Toughness Feat. It now grants 20 additional hit points that stack with all other bonuses.
• Enchanted Darkleaf Banded Armor has been set to 'medium' armor, rather than heavy.
• The Shroud greensteel raid loot effects that give regeneration (Lesser, Improved, and Greater Regeneration) have been upgraded to do 2 points of healing every interval instead of 1 point. The intervals remain the same. This was done mainly for our friends out there who are Warforged. Now even when they have their standard lesser sensitivity to healing they will get healed for 1 point instead of 0.
• The weapon effect called "Stench" has been renamed to "Sickening Stink". This was done to avoid confusion when simultaneously getting feedback about this effect and other stench effects like the stench from troglodytes. No changes have been made to the actual effect.
• Greensteel scimitars, great axes, heavy maces, and dwarven axes now show the correct particle effects for the enchantments they have applied like other greensteel weapons.
• A number of effects that work only with melee weapons have had their descriptions updated to reflect this fact. This includes armor that might add the destruction or crippling effects.
• After selecting thrown weapons from your hotbar, they will no longer disappear from your hotbar when you switch to another weapon set.
• Bags now display unique item capacity in their tooltip
• Collectable bags remember tree expand/collapsed state on item add/remove and bag open/close
• Wands can now be activated using the "attack" button. Autoattack does not autofire wands, though click-and-hold attacking will activate the wand each time the cooldown is up.
• When an item is repaired, if it is diminished to 0 max durability, the system will set it to 1 max durability and mark it as "broken beyond repair." Previously when an item was at 1 max durability, it was already "broken beyond repair" but it didn't appear to be, causing confusion. The durability is now set to 0 when the item is marked as "broken beyond repair." This means that items will end their life at the repair person and not at the hands of a monster.
• Dragon Essences are no longer subject to item damage. This change is retroactive, so that all previously damaged Dragon Essences will be repaired automatically.
• The Transmuting weapon enchantment is now: "This weapon transmutes into a form that is able to bypass any material based Damage Reduction. (Adamantine, Alchemical Silver, Byeshk, Cold Iron, or Mithril)".
• The Vicious weapon enchantment now deals 2d6 damage to opponents struck by the weapon and 1d3 damage back to the wielder instead of 1d6.
• Handwraps can now be vicious.
• In the New Player experience, the Ember Longbow has been trimmed, and is now an Ember Shortbow.
• Eternal Wands of Acid Splash, Finger of Fire, Magic Missile, and Cure Minor Wounds now have 50 maximum charges and recharge over time when not actively being fired. They also have faster cooldowns than normal wands.
• Certain handwraps were not applying Enfeebling effects correctly. If your handwrap is not currently working, please find a Stone of Change, and select "Activate Stone". This will fix your handwrap.
• The Eternal Titan Wand is more eternal; it is now immune to damage. All previous items that have been damaged will be retroactively repaired, and be Immune to damage.
• The plane of irian is waning! All permanent magic items that produce a "Resurrection" or "True Resurrection" effect now produce a "Raise Dead" effect. This includes items with the "Aspect of Positive Energy" effect from the Shroud.
• The Djinni of the Cake got his eyes checked and if you still have a stale anniversary cake, he now recognizes who his master is.
• Items that are 'Bound' will now be listed as either 'Bound to Character' or 'Bound to Account' in the item examination window.
• It is now possible to find Mass Repair Damage scrolls as treasure.

• Hirelings will path to monsters across water if they think they can jump across. They aren't very good swimmers though, and if they don't make the jump, you will have to recall them to you.


• Many switches, levers, and other interactables have been scooted into Hireling reach. If you encounter one they still refuse to use, please submit a bug report but include specific information on the location of the interactable they're having trouble with.


• The icon used on the contract for Syllix Giantbane is incorrect. It shows that he is a barbarian when he is in fact a fighter.


• The Hireling Rage is experiencing a regenerative event loop from time to time. Ignore him. He's just angry.


• A number of lowest level and highest level hirelings do not have the appropriate portrait on their hotbar.


• The hireling Full Metal does not cast Zeal on himself when asked to.


• Paladin Hirelings will often use their lay on hands on summon creatures immediately when they are summoned.

Spells

• Some AOE debuff/cc spells are listed in the tooltips as "Spell Resistance: No", even though they are resistible.


• Once Favored Soul or Drow is unlocked with favor points, it is still accessible in the DDO Store. This is by design, as purchase in the store will grant Favored Soul or Drow access to your account for all servers, while favor unlocking is per-server only.


• Casting Protection from Evil on a character, or putting on an item that bestows Protection from Evil, while having a Protection +1 item on will cause your AC to appear lower than it is


• The icon for Summon Monster IX displays an Efreet and not a Hezrou as it should.


• When casting Blade Barrier while standing in water, the spell effect will disappear immediately after it appears.


• The icon for Mordenkainen's Disjunction shows a '0' for spell level rather than 'X'


• The icon for Chain Missle shows it as level 'I' when it should be level 'III'

Skills, Feats, & Abilities

• Spell resistance provided by the monk ability Diamond Soul is not displaying properly on the character sheet. This is a visual error only, and the spell resistance is being applied.


• The Quick Draw feat does not have an effect on how quickly a player performs a ranged attack or switches their armor as the description indicates.


• Monks start with a base attack bonus (BAB) of 0. They are granted a +1 to BAB while centered. For the purpose of determining pre-requisits for feats, the bonus for being centered is not considered. This is unclear in the current character sheet display.


• When toggling Slow Fall 'off' it may not turn the effect off.


• The minimum ranks in the Perform skill required to use Bard songs are based on the 'ranks' taken, not the modified skill total. This is by design.


• The icon for Perfect Slow Fall does have the correct icon.


• The icon for Hide in Plain Sight is incorrect. It is using the 'Die Hard' icon.


• The rogue ability 'Poison: Thoughtburn' does not always stop enemy casters from casting spells as it should.


• The description of the barbarian 'Rage' feat does not accurately indicate the duration the rage will last. This duration is modifed by the characters constitution score.


• The icon for Tireless Rage appears twice on the character sheet, and is showing as the Die Hard icon.


• The description of the barbarian 'Rage' feat does not accurately indicate the duration the rage will last. This duration is modifed by the characters constitution score.

Enhancements

• Warforged Brute Fighting can not be used when a rage effect is applied to the character.


• Paladin Specialty, Defender of Siberys I: The maximum dexterity bonus increase on tower shields does not display properly. The maximum dexterity is being applied as it should however.


• Paladin Enhancement, Defender of Siberys III: The Glorious Stand ability does not apply a cure light wounds each time the damage reduction 20/epic is overcome as it should.


• Paladin Enhancement, Stalwart Defender: The increase to max dex bonus is not being correct applied to Warforged with adamantine plating.


• The description for the Toughness enhancement lines can be confusing, as the hit points described do not stack with the previous enhancement. For example, Barbarian Toughness I states you are granted 10 additional hit points, while Barbarian Toughness II states you are granted 20 additional hit points. The total hit points you will receive when taking both barbarian toughness enhancements is 20, as the second level of enhancement is including the 10 from the first level in the description.


• Enhancement, Paladin, Divine Might: The charisma requirement for Divine Might is listed in the description but does not show in the requirements section.


• For Dwarven Axe Damage II, "Throwing Axe Damage II" is incorrectly displaying as "Throwing Axe Damage III". The effect 'II' is what is being applied.


• The Barbarian Might capstone uses an active icon when it should be passive.


• The Master of Archery capstone uses an active icon when it should be passive.


• The text for the Spell Damage Application enhancements is cut short.


• The enhancement 'Extra Action Boosts' should only be boosting the number of Fighter action boosts. Currently it is boosting the number of all action boosts. This will be corrected in the near future.

Items

• Greensteel bows are currently not properly applying blast effects.


• In rare cases, level 10 and level 11 race restricted handwraps were not working as intended. These dysfunctional handwraps will no longer drop. Note that any of these particular handwraps that were previously dropped are still dysfunctional.

• The following potions can not be used while raged. They will be updated in the future. Lesser Restoration, Nuetralize Poison, Remove Curse, Remove Disease, Remove Fear.


• The DC bonus to Stunning Fist and Stunning Blow is not being applied when using handwraps. It is added appropriately when using other weighted weapons.

Crafting

• Items fixed or modified using the Stone of Change or other Eldritch Devices will sometimes not display the updated effects. This is a display bug only. Removing, and then re-equipping, the item will show the updates to the item.


• The 'Force Critical' and 'Force Damage' rituals from the Stone of Change do not apply appropriately to handwraps.

Monsters

• King Raiyum is a bit smarter than the average undead ruler, and avoids spawning into AoEs when possible. If you do cast AoEs onto King Raiyum before he spawns, and he does not spawn: leave the room , allow the AoE spells to expire, and then return to the room. He should activate normally.

Quests

• The NPCs for the following quests display a 'grey' chalice when they should be showing a 'green' chalice to indicate the quest is completed and that the player needs to speak with them to advance it:
  • Redemption
  
  
  • Kobold Assault
  
  
  • Irestone Inlet

• The Shroud
  • If taken to the death room ahead of your party, you will need to wait for your comrades to join you in the final encounter before you will be able to go back via the portals to receive rewards from the previous phase. This will be corrected in a future patch.
  
  

Adventure Areas

• Ataraxia's Haven
  • When using 'Recall' from Ataraxia's Haven you may not end up in the public area which you entered from.
  
  

Other

• At times you may enter a public spaces or new quest areas via a portal and find objects in the room missing. The Quickfoot Thieves thought it would be funny to make objects around Stormreach invisible. The objects are there, you just can't see them! Leaving and re-entering the area can remove the effect.


• After collecting treasure from a bag that falls from a monster the bag will disappear. If you later come back to the location of the bag, it may re-appear by you will not be able to pick it up again.


• When the mouse cursor is over a number of UI elements, including hot bars, the keyboard will not respond to commands.


• G15 keyboard LCD displays currently show Spellpoint totals for non-casters. The hitpoint totals displayed as a result of changes to a player?s constitution bonus are sometimes displaying inaccurately.


• Due to an issue with the engine upgrade, other player's characters may appear to be "choppy" in movement at times. This does not effect your own character, only other characters you are viewing.
