Powers Fixes Tanker / Brute > Fiery Aura > Fiery Embrace: Added Fiery Embrace effects to Psionic Mastery. Tanker / Brute > Epic > Psionic Mastery: Fixed PvP Damage to use the correct tables. Stalker > Patron > Soul Mastery > Moonbeam: Fixed 100% chance to crit from Hide. Peacebringer / Warshade > Dwarf Form: Now accepts outside recharge buffs. Corrected typo in Hamidon Ectosome enhancement's description. Task Forces Advanced Mode - Lady Grey's Task Force General The values of the -Defense and -Resistance inflicted by the Neural Nullification debuff bubbles now scale with difficulty star count, up to the original value at 4* difficulty: 1-Star: -30% Defense, -75% Resistance 2-Star: -45% Defense, -100% Resistance 3-Star: -60% Defense, -125% Resistance 4-Star: -75% Defense, -150% Resistance This will make the debuff weaker on lower difficulties, allowing players to better form counter-play before the failure penalty is steep at the highest difficulty. NPC Enemies Council Fixed all Council Vortex Cor Leonis bosses spawning outside their level ranges. Custom Weapons Staff Fighting Fixed an issue that caused NPCs using sheathed staves to have their weapon flicker between hand and back in-between attacks. User Interface Key bindings saved through the options menu and slash commands now create a file that properly reproduces the binds exactly when loaded. This is accomplished through an optional UnbindAll keyword that may be included in a bind file, which causes any existing binds to be reset before loading the file. Files which do not have this keyword work the same as currently and just create or replace bindings only for the keys listed in them. Added two commands to restore the ability to export a list of the default keybindings for offline editing: /show_bind_all - Prints a list of all apparent key bindings (defaults with per-character saved binds applied on top). /show_bind_all_file [filename] - Same as /show_bind_all but saves the results to a file.

Looking For Group Rikti Mothership Fixed an issue that was preventing queuing for this event with lower level characters.

HOTFIX -- No Restart Powers Fixed an issue where players afflicted with the Mutation: Devolution effect from the Secondary Mutation power could get stuck as a monkey for 33 minutes and 20 seconds if they crossed to a different zone before the effect wore off.

Inherent > Domination: Should no longer continue to replay the deactivation effect every 90 seconds Secondary Mutation > Devolution: This effect should now properly expire if the affected player dies. Temporary power icons have been adjusted. Potential fix for not being able to train after activating long range teleport until zoning. Thunder Strike (all versions but dominators): Fixed a bug where the knockback was not using the full radius (removed all inner/outer radius since its using primary/secondary only flags) Task Forces Advanced Mode - General Standardized all hard mode non-AV critter taunts: 1.4x Acc, 30s Rech, 5 Targets, No -Range, Mag 5 w/ 6.5s on players, ~35s on critters. Standardized all hard mode AV critter taunts: Autohit, 40s Rech, 16 Targets, No -Range, Mag 5 w/ 6.5s on players, ~40s on critters. Advanced Mode - Lady Grey's Task Force Mission 5 Fixed a marginal scenario where one might be dead, have escaped the LGTF finale, die and take the hospital, and miss mission complete rewards. Advanced Mode - Imperious Task Force Removed Antagonize from boss-class Dark Dwarves in HM ITF. Advanced Mode - Dr. Aeon's Strike Force Removed one stack of Tactics from Hero 1 and Assault from Lady Grey. Trials Incarnate Trials Fixed a long-standing bug in Incarnate trials that prevented random selection of enemies for spawn variety from working properly, causing every group in the trial to contain the same enemies. This bug resulted in different enemies appearing after Page 7 released due to changes in the RNG algorithm, but the root of the bug was that it should have been random selection all along, not always the same one. Missions Striga Island Striga storyarcs are now only playable by the correct alignments in Ouroboros. Giant Monsters Adamastor Adamastor's Monstrous Aether now shares cooldown with their merit rewards. Enemy Factions Vanguard Vanguard faction's normal mode auto Leadership powers now only stack up to once on allies. Circle of Thorns Fixed Master of Death not being granted high level powers at correct level. Updated Master of Death and Master of Ruin AI to only cast one Tar Patch or Earthquake per spawn. Clockwork Fixed Tesla Clockwork having improper AI flag to activate Lightning Field. Council Fixed some Council bosses spawning at the wrong level ranges in the mid-20s. Various Miscellaneous description/short help text fixes, some icon bug fixes, some AI fixes. Rewards Badges Clarified wording on AT Duplication challenge instructions. Vanity Pets Add Mini Jurassik to the accolade hologram pop menu. User Interface Fix some lingering issues with the options window: Fix changes being lost when zoning quickly after changing options. Options that have serverside effects (like Disable XP or Team Mission Completion) always send immediately when they are changed rather than being batched. Slash commands that change options always send immediately rather than being batched. Fix an issue with character creation where certain options could "bleed over" from the last character that was logged in rather than being set to their defaults. This does not affect overrides from the saved options.txt file -- those are always applied after the defaults are reset. Adjust the tooltip delay slider to show the actual number of milliseconds rather than an ambiguous percentage. Fix consignment house UI to not show "No History" if the server sends an empty history response after it has already sent the item history. Make it a bit more aggressive about requesting updates. This does not (yet) solve the issue with wrong history sometimes being displayed but gave us insight into a larger scope of work that needs to be done on the backend. System Switch memory allocator on 32-bit build back to a less performant one but with somewhat less aggressive use of virtual address space. This isn't an issue on 64-bit, but especially when running on 32-bit operating systems with the 2GB process hard limit we need every bit of it we can get. This by itself may not be enough to solve the out of memory issues on 32-bit operating systems as the data that needs to be loaded into memory at all times was already well over 1GB. Future work to optimize some in-memory structures is planned but must be done carefully for stability reasons.
