Changes - When downgrading skills, any status effects applied by that skill are removed - In item tooltips only the item name & rarity text are colored according to the rarity - In the character selection, the selected character is highlighted in the list again - Danji is saying good bye for now and has left Bugfixes - Fixed some minor issues in inventory handling - Fixed the name and classification of some two handed swords that apparently were axes in a previous life - Fixed a bug in instance spawning that caused it to fail with long run times

Changes - Tweaked monster movement syncronization, should be even better for players with bad connections - In the graphics settings, basic post processing is always enabled, even on low and very low (only applies to new installs) - Increased player following stop distance slightly - Tweaked safe zone monster spawn prevention to counteract some rifts spawning too close to safe zones Balance updates - Improved some bad attack collisions on a bunch of monsters - Moved a potential rift spawn further away from the old tower in Nibor - Reduced login skill cooldown to 15s Bugfixes - Fixed ping not updating correctly after a map switch - Fixed event slot display resetting to the placeholder name after a map change - Fixed griffon pet feathers not being transparent - Fixed an error causing slight lag for some users when loading the shop model - Fixed rift spawn effect not showing on monsters - Fixed map/minimap path preview blocking mouse clicks/hover - Fixed monsters not animating in some cases (especially noticable from rift spawns) - Fixed monster name being hard to read in the minimap - Fixed inconsistent sparkle color on some two handed weapons +10 - Fixed some small player movement netcode desyncs

In todays update, we're releasing the first "maintenance" update in which we're doing large changes behind the scenes to keep the game current and optimized. This time we've upgraded our netcode library to a current version, which gives us some performance improvements, but should otherwise be unnoticable. As with all big changes, there might be some issues that slipped through testing, should you find any please report them in the #bug-report channel on our discord! Next week, all things going well, an improved network backend should follow which provides lower latency & snappier responses, especially in less ideal network conditions.
