Combat and Balance
- Corrected an issue that caused enemies to apply their armor penetration incorrectly. Additionally this fix will prevent incorrect stacking of enemy armor penetration.
- Stronghold Temple description now more accurately reflects that it reduces Revive Sickness duration.
Audio
- Updated voice overs for Stronghold content.
Content and Environment
- Oathbound Paladins without a Paragon Path now count as DPS for the purposes of queues instead of none. This would often put them into inappropriate groups.
- Strongholds
- Fixed an issue where players would get stuck on the Campaign dailies if they had purchased a token to complete the campaign.
- Fixed an issue where some enemies in Heroic Encounters were still dropping normal loot. This does not affect any of the final rewards given out by the Heroic Encounters."
- My Only Enemy is Time now requires players to be level 70 to acquire the quest.
- Resolved several text errors throughout all the Strongholds content.
- Spider Attack!: should no longer be overlapped by the Lumberyard Tutorial Heroic Encounter.
- Time Trial: Outer stronghold now requires players to be level 70 to acquire the quest.
Items and Economy
- An issue has been resolved wherein burning equipment was salvaging for less than intended.
- An issue has been resolved wherein elemental burning equipment was salvaging for less than intended.
- An issue has been resolved wherein grim equipment was salvaging for less than intended.
- Chicken companion Legendary power now properly works.
- Influence: Resolved an issue where players could not claim Influence or other rewards from certain Heroic Encounters.
- Influence: The daily cooldown for how much Influence a player can earn will trigger at 3:00 AM, regardless of when a player earned their first Influence reward during the day.
- Radiant Enchantment Rank 12 now properly grants +20% gold gain.
- Resolved Glory donation issue where player deposit was divided by 100. Guild Marks are still reward at 1/100 Glory donated.
- Resolved an issue wherein black ice shaping recipes for elemental dragonflight and lionsmane armor required already upgraded armor.
- Stronghold Food
- An eating animation has been added when consuming stronghold food. This animation can be canceled by moving.
- Is now Bound to Account on Pickup, changed from Bound on Pickup.
- Now has a recharge timer of 5 seconds to reduce chances of accidental consumption.
- Stronghold overload enchantments or ""marks"" are now Bind on Pickup, changed from Bind on Equip."
- The dialog on the salvage traders Hieronymous Glim and Fordan Walksfar in Protector's Enclave and Caer-Konig respectively has been updated to more accurately reflect the conditions under which equipment may be salvaged.
- VIP rank 1 description has been updated to include the Dungeon Key it gives every day.
Performance and Stability
- Resolved a crash with some Intel video chipsets when trying to load the game.
- Resolved several game client crashes when resizing the game window.
- Resolved several game client crashes when the game was manipulating character portraits and models in the UI.
- Throttled down the speed at which requests were being sent to the video driver during shader loading. This should help reduce crashes on many lower end video cards and have minimal impact on higher end cards.
- Updates to the performance and stability for FX using animations and costumes.
User Interface
- Campaign: Now properly state that they require level 70 instead of level 60.
- Golden Path is now more reliable when you have two quests with similar names.
- Power, Artifact, Potion and Mount trays: the "Held" chains are now only drawn if the power is actually also unusable.
- Professions: The window has had some adjustment to prevent 'bouncing' and 'wiggling' of elements in some cases.
- Professions: Adjusted the layout to required resources in tasks to reduce how squished the text of some elements could look.
- Stronghold Coffer: There is a new log in the guild window that shows what guild members have donated.
- Stronghold Plots: Resolved an issue where the time to upgrade a structure shown in the confirmation window wasn't being shown correctly (it was being shown as always 0).
- There is now an option in the power window to apply a free respec when one or more of the characters powers are not in a good state. This would manifest as powers not being purchasable or VIP powers not being usable.

Is the ArP correction related to the issues with DR in Epic Dungeons?
I haven't seen anything of this nature outside of Epics so, I'm a bit unclear as to what is being mentioned as being fixed.
Obsidian Oath - Warlock
A whole lot of other Obsidian toons as well.
We believe it is. It might have been possible for this to happen in cases outside of Epic Dungeons but not nearly as noticeable or occurring as frequently.
Now, when will u start preventing ppl from exploiting dungs and fix those bugs? I think its about time?
And ofc, any so so time o when we will get some more dungs?

Great, glad to hear it. We try especially hard after a new module to listen to players and get their feedback into the game.
There are a couple fixes in development to address these issues, especially the one with some powers causing aggro through walls inappropriately.
We recognize this is something we should try to do sooner rather than later and are starting to put together plans(tm). Nothing solid yet though, sorry.
My one concern is the Guild Donations. While I agree this is necessary for the Guild Leader, I'm not sure this implementation is very helpful. Knowing that I donated "fey trinkets" is different than knowing that I donated 1000 fey trinkets. The point of the log is to help keep track.
And to anyone who doesn't want this list because they think it will be abused. Perhaps you aren't in the right guild. If your guild wants to keep tabs on who's donating and you don't like that, it doesn't sound like it's the right guild for you.
Please fix this:
Professions: Black Ice Shaping
Requires of Guild ArmorDragonflight it's wrong compares with Rewards (eg. item level 142 with ilvl 142)
AT LAST. This is probably the infamous DR bug. Time to enjoy tanking again!
Great fixes overall, thanks!
Thanks.
Thanks in advance!

1). Is SW more dps or tank based?
2). Yes. I am panzer!
3). Get ACT if you want to celebrate your epeen.
4). Horniness will not stand between me and what I believe - "MM"
Control Wizard's Spell Twisting feat doesn't work with Tabbed Ray of Enfeeblement, Tabbed Icy Rays, and Shard of Endless Avalanche. It puts some CW loadouts out of use because of those long cooldowns, all CW's that use spell twisting would love to see it fixed, its been around for months.
considering the problems:
A - the game +/- has the prerequisite of a weapon enchantment.
B - lostmauth set be unbalanced (or broken) and trigger a lot of craps.
C - I love my high damage
a chance to fix the set and, in exchange, up by 25% the general critical severity of the races?
