Kallisti Wharf Office Maps All existing Kallisti Wharf Office maps in AE have been moved to a new category: 'Kallisti Wharf Office (Legacy)'. These older maps are overly-populated, but we can't remove them due to their usage in existing AE arcs, so these maps will be labeled seperately instead. The new correctly-populated maps and new layouts used in Kallisti Wharf are now found in AE under 'Kallisti Wharf Office'. These mission map tileset pieces have had an extensive decoration pass on all rooms which will automatically apply to existing AE arcs using these maps.

Decreased ambush chance from 75% to 65%. Ambushes only reward the player with one Anniversary Merit. Temporary Powers, Inspirations, Pet Summons and Minipet rewards can only drop from capsules without an ambush. Fixed two glowie spawn points in Brickstown that were floating above the ground and not working correctly.
