Does the "coffer update" include a fix to the AD glitch?

Please don't adjust these down again.
And speaking of adjusting, maybe easing the curve from 60-70 would help, as well
Read them in complete detail, three times. That issue was not specifically mentioned, only "Stronghold coffers have received another update for usability." Hoping it includes a fix, but that statement is too vague to be certain it was addressed.
p.s.
Not to be a grammar <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, but it's "someONE", not "some1" :P
Keep up the work.
Undead Giants Heroic Encounter: Fixed an issue where the health bar for the two giants would draw forever once a player entered combat.
This is a problem not only related to that encounter, I found it in other HE as well as eLoL. Hope the fix works on everything
This fight is in Firey Pit

YES. The AD glitch has been fixed.. as has may other little "tweaks" that have really made the whole SH area (to include the keep) really kind of "pop".
Kudos to the dev team, @panderus .. you guys are really doing a superb job.
"...I grab my wiener and charge!" - ironzerg79
Thanks, we are pretty happy with this module so far.
Also, Becky, thanks, I updated the notes. I was thinking of those lightning twins.
Can you get off it already? It's an art issue that probably takes A LOT more redesign then it warrants. Just go to the tower of alteration and make a thick GWF like you're suppose and stop buggery the devs with this.
Obsidian Oath - Warlock
A whole lot of other Obsidian toons as well.
Depending on how it's modeled, yes. It could mean redoing the entire model.
Which isn't worth their time. They have enough stuff on their plate as is.
I will speak to the art team and see if there's anything we can do about this issue, at the very least, if it is a more difficult fix, and something that we won't be able to resolve in the foreseeable future, we can let you know.
Yea the T1's at least have artifact drops that can be sold.
