    I am glad that stuff is getting fixed, it was a rather critical part of the whole Alliance update.
    It would be nice to have a dev comment about why the Vouchers in the Regal Stronghold Pack bound to character when you open the pack. This is a lockbox, items that drop from lockboxes are not supposed to be BoC. the devs have screwed up with other drops like the Blood Crystal Raven Skull and the Eye of Lathander when those were first placed in a lockbox, but this is the first time that a non class/character oriented item was bound.

    There is absolutely NOTHING in the tooltip of the Regal Stronghold Pack that would indicate the vouchers contained inside are bound to my character. If i open that pack based on that tooltip i fully expect to be able to sell the contents

    Very positive patch notes thank you for them. May i ask if the upgrade of buildings is also being fixed as we were unable to upgrade out structure or basically do anything with them.

    Also what about the few bugs with the bank permissions and guild permissions tabs i hope they getting a fix in the hindsight too.

    Caritas was never a member of either GG faction. Hopefully the particular manifestation of "unable to join an alliance" that affects us (and many others in our situation) is also addressed by this patch.

    i don't like the new campaign change one bit where my friends didn't seem to llike it much either cause when i had seen how sharadar got the new change i was very disappointed in that and how they couldn't give dread ring the same thing cause i know this game needs alot of work if they could change sharadar and dread ring i sure would love to do them at 60 then 70 if we could also have a free appearance change from Elemental of Evil campaign

    They had a partial fix that didn't work out. (every guild with old GG membership could have joined an alliance once, but if they would have left it they wouldn't be able to join again - but they failed, they could not join even the first time)
    Now they just did another "hotfix" - lets hope they didn't mess it up again.

    Have you tried putting -d3d9 in the command line?

    Will the "protect foreign merchant" quest start working? It feels like some protector's jubilee stuff got launched early with the gift in protector's enclave, but the associated NPCs/Shops/Quests don't exist yet. (One item references Elminster in PE as well.)

    I reported the unable to upgrade on preview so fingers crossed it's fixed as well! If not once you join an alliance you should be able to upgrade again, at least I could on preview after joining an alliance.

    It was the same issue that prevented allianceless guilds from tending the buildings, so there is a good chance that they fixed it too with this.

    Almost certainly you will have to wait 'til the event starts.

    Can we have a answer about the Skyhold maps for Masterwork professions not giving the proper resources? All the other maps work properly, but those give the same resources as Vellosk.

    The new campaign layout is still confusing and not as user friendly as it could be.

    "beckylunatic" Gateway AH should have column headers to sort by buyout, bid, end time, quantity, etc. These disappeared iirc with the module launch. It's obnoxious.

    Ouch, that's bad.

    I found and fixed it on our end.

    I will shake some trees in an attempt to get it in as early a patch as possible. I'm not a producer, though, so please be aware I can't promise anything in terms of dates. All I can do is beg. :P

    At least we heard from someone on the other side of the fence.

    Thanks @rgutscheradev - appreciate the response.

    We have nothing we can upgrade until we build, so there is no way for me to tell. We were looking at putting up our mine on Tuesday, but patch happened.

    Okayyyy... then your "nope" was uninformed scaremongering.

    While it was not mentioned directly in the patch notes, both not being able to tend and not being able to build/upgrade were the same bug, more broadly not being able to interact with structures on your own Stronghold map.

    Judging by the lack of new posts on the subject, I'd infer that the fix worked and people can both tend and build.
