    Is there any chance that the bug where items go to your overflow bag instead of inventory unless there's space in bag 1 will get fixed? Otherwise this will be a big pain when dealing with event bags; it's not that uncommon to want to spam open a hundred or so.

    Increasing the mission hold up to 100 is great. As for the token, is the event token universal to ALL events? For example, I do the Nightmare event, earn the tokens there, then use those earn token for the 4th of July event?

    I think fixing the issue where you have empty space but a full main inventory bag is more important that the overflow

    Tokens are not universal. Different ones for each event.

    There will probably be a perk for collecting 10k tokens for any given event, just to make the perk hunters cry.

    Prior we had a low cap to deter hoarding the currencies. Since that is no longer an issue since these will all expire at the end of the year, the cap doesn't really matter anymore.​​

    Accessing the Overflow Bag can be a pain sometimes as it tends to get stuck for unknown reasons. We may have ways around the issue via the /lootcancel command and relogging/reloading into a new zone, but that doesn't make it any less annoying.​​

    There is also the OverflowTake command, which will attempt to move a few items from overflow to your inventory.​​

    Melee Weapon Aura: Sorcery (Right)
    Laser Sword (Base Handle)
    Nothing... I'm not seeing any kind of change from a base Laser Sword.

    On a related note... is it only supposed to apply to the combat slot?

    I'd check more of the handles, but I just got kicked from the server and now I can't log in...

    From my experience, I've seen items will go into the overflow bag if the main inventory is full, even if I have empty slots in other bags. Can we change it so that other bags are used before the overflow bag?    ​​

    Loooong ago it used to do this. I'm guessing it is some bug/coding error that is preventing this. Just like the setting that keeps your Energy builder ON all of the time stopped working whenever you change instances. Never fixed. (Just a sample. We know it is a HUGE list of broken, old problems that never get fixed)​​

    Regarding the PvP queue change, is this for all the Hero Games queues? The last few times Stronghold or the team fights have popped for me there were only 4 people in total. These might already have been arranged in two teams of two though.

    A node for the martial blade version of the Steel Shadow sword is wonky, presumably using the HW version.
    Also the node alignment for the Stop Sign is rather strange.
    Unrelated to auras, the Knife skin for martial blades has changed to be a single solid color.
