- Repeatable adventure quest doors now have vines over them if they're inaccessible.

- The number of enemies in this HE has been reduced.

Combat and Powers
General
- Animation-cancelling Artifact casts should no longer trigger bonuses from effects such as Artificer's Influence, Shepherd's Devotion, and Cavalry's Warning.
- This also affects the Survivor's Wraps arm slot gear.
- Pilgrim weapons no longer continually trigger combat.
- Alpha Compy now properly grants its damage increase in the Merchant Prince's Folly.
- Raptors in Chult now strike at the endpoint of their Ambush attack, rather than automatically hitting their target.
- Raptors in Chult now also have a separate version of their Ambush attack that does automatically hit their target, but does not knock them down.
- A logout delay has been enabled in Cradle of the Death God. If a player logs out while in the Cradle of the Death God, their character will remain present for a short time.
- During that time it will be impossible to log back in and powers may continue to affect the character.
- The Atropal will now become immune to damage and untargetable upon reaching certain health thresholds. Acererak was not pleased with adventurers skipping phases.
- The achievement for killing the Atropal is once again properly given to players with kill credit.
Items and Economy
General
- Chult campaign currencies no longer "incorrectly" have "quotation" "marks" around their "tooltips."

- Overflow XP rewards now have a lower chance to drop Rough Astral Diamonds, due to the increased rate of Overflow XP rewards popping.
- Primal Equipment can no longer get into a state where it cannot be Restored.
- Seals now state where they can be traded in.
- Treasure maps now consistently open a window without additionally using the lava-style borders at the top and bottom of the screen.
- Various item-based buffs have been updated to remove variance. They'll give the stats they state on their tooltip, rather than slightly differing values.
- Various lootable items found in the world should now generate per-character.
- Example: If Character A takes two of three items out of a chest, and Character B opens it, Character B should have their own set of loot from that chest.
- If Character A loots after that, the one remaining item should be in their loot dialog.
- Example: If Character A takes two of three items out of a chest, and Character B opens it, Character B should have their own set of loot from that chest.
User Interface
General
- Inspect Companion now properly shows the companion's actual stats.

So, decent fixes I guess.
Any news on fixing Combat Advantage by positioning?

Any progress within the past day or so on fixing the glaring design error of the Shadowstalker rings?

And what is more, it very much prevents people from being able to practice how to deal with the push/pull mechanics because they get 1 try after 5 or 8 minutes of elevator fighting and then they need to either wait for the party to win without them, or for them to fail and then go through the whole thing over again. so you are easily looking at 15 minutes per 5 second attempt. It sucks sooooo bad. I'd love to try and manage the mechanic, i would, i also don't care to sit there doing literally nothing for 15 minutes at a time.
We are searching for slave labor, will pay with food from our farm!
Yeah! Thanks for putting this in!
There are some issues I'd like to bring to your attention:
1. Zero damage from weapon enchants when using SW Dreadtheft.
2. In ToNG, Withers has an attack that sweeps you away from the pedestal. The red circle showing the area of effect is wildly inaccurate. The actual radius of the attack is at least 50% larger than indicated.
3. The red circle of a Yuan-ti Zealot's fear attack is also inaccurate -- not by 50%, but by a significant amount, perhaps 25%.

This, especially for me as an little bit elder Person, not only my Libido is "not that good anymore" i am also simply starts lacking with my reactions in such cases.
This means for me i need defenitly more practice, than maybe some younger people, and with every new try, during the next elevator phase i am getting more and more nervous, if i could handle the push/pull phase in the next try, and most the time i fail in the first or second phase.
So yes, an campfire before the boss starts fight would be appreciated, also for some cases to switch loadouts, for some classes between AoE and Single Target dps, switching weapons or Enchants, bc i mean you did and awesome Job with the loadout ability, but if we the players can't use it properly to maximise our abilitys..
Why do you punish players if they fall off the ledge? It is a waste of time, and only serves to make us immensely disappointed. Not to mention netlag interfering with that pull/push mechanic. It is possibly the worst boss mechanic in the entire history of your game, IMO, because my location does not permit any error with lag.
It is discriminatory to people who live outside North America, or who have lag for whatever reason.
So you can fix easily the relog thing in CODG but you don't fix things like:
- Weekly Fane of the Night Serpent not giving rings.
- A hand holding you while the Atropal is doing the Push/Pull mechanic and you cannot do anything and it takes you down the hole.
- Companions falling all the time. We have to relog and summon them quickly.
- The Atropal gets full healed after we kill the Acererak
- An area appears when the Atropal is going to do the push/pull and throws you to the air, and when you are in the air he drops you.
- The sphere in the top platform to watch the teammates you just see Atropals "<font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>" (bum).
- Etc...
But you don't fix the things that benefit the player, you guys just focus your efforts on nerffing our characters, our enchants, our companions, the drops, the rewards, fixing things that hinder us. You just fix what you guys <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> want and interest, not what players really need. There are threads and threads telling you what is bugged and what is wrong in the game, and you just care about what makes our playability harder.
Why don't you focus your efforts on fixing the Zen queue that has been there with thousands of demandants for so many modules? Those are things that we really need you guys to focus and not giving us a cooldown while we relog in CODG.
Please, be competent in your business, we are spending lots of hours in your game and many even investing money on it. Do your jobs. Thanks
By the way, I play with 5 chars in CODG and I don't do the relog thing with any of them. But I think it is ridiculous that you guys put effort on fixing that thing and not other things that are more important in the game and break it. Relogging isn't an issue in the game....

What do you guys play with 300-500 ping internet problem? Will you be equal to a person who plays with 10-60 pings? I give an example if I stand in the middle of the platform and see if it passes directly through the platform.
The issue of the ignots
There is one annoying typo. You want to make Wottz Steel Ingots - but what you get are Wootz Steel IgnotsThe issue of the Fanged Gear
Consider this item:There are three things wrong with it.
First, it is named "Fanged Beaded Amulet", but it should be just "Fanged Amulet" - we have Bronzewood/Lichstone/Beaded/Fanged Waist Pieces, and Bronzewood/Lichstone/Beaded Amulets, so it would make sense for the final Amiulet to be named "Fanged Amulet".
Second, the set description says "Lichstone Amulet", where it should say "Masterwork III Neck Piece".
Third (and most importantly) just take a look at the AH prices for the MW III pieces. The Broncewood, Lichstone and beaded pieces sell for between 1 and 2 million AD per piece - a pretty fair price. The Fanged pieces sell for 10 times as much. That is simply not fair - basically, the various pieces suit differeent classes/builds, and those that favour the Fanged pieces are basically left out in the cold because that set is so much harder to make than the other three.
The real issue is of course with the allosaurs. The drop rate of their fangs seems to around 1%, and there not too many of them around - so farming 24 fangs takes a completely absurd amount of time.
I can see two possible solutions.
Either change the recipes to require, say 2 fangs instead of 12 or change the droprate to something like 10% instead of 1%.
Face it, it is just plain silly and unfair to have one of four sets being much, much harder to obtain than the other three.
Which classes have been nerfed the most recently?
I doubt that this will be fixed in the future. Nothing is replied to in these forums.
