    Some great fixes there..I really appreciate the CR gate and Kabal chain fixes, but I have a few questions:

    • Martikov Merchants: The final enemy spawn now properly occurs at a reasonable time.
    There were two HEs with this issue...the one south of the bridge, and the one north of the village. Did they both get fixed?

    The fixes to Tiamat are nice, but what about a fix to a really annoying issue there - with the changes to the queues, we are seeing more inexperienced people run Tiamat, and sometimes it bugs when someone crosses the line too early. Experienced players know not to do that, but.....

    Finally, we really would like to know if the Apocalypse set is WAI or bugged - is it meant to be a "worse than useless" gag set (as it debuffs you, instead of the enemy), or is it just a plain bug. If it's a bug, I'm in no hurry to get it fixed - but it would be nice to know.
    Hoping for improvements...

    I thought the bug crossing too early was fixed in a previous patch fix?? could swear I saw something regarding that

    Can this quest also get fixed to properly complete when in a party? I was able to pick up the doll heads while in a party but it didn't give me credit for those until I left the party and went back and looted the same spots again.
