Events[edit]

Dungeon[edit]

Sorrow's Embrace[edit]

  • Fixed multiple problematic doors would not open and close when intended.

Twilight Arbor[edit]

  • Fixed a bug where Morrigu could die after defeating the final boss before the cinematic could start, which would break the dungeon and prevent players from receiving the final reward.

  • Cliffside: Fixed an issue where players were able to attack and kill the first boss before triggering the cinematic.
