Greetings, Adventurers!

Get a taste of Cross World Outpost Rush in Wave 3 of the Season 2 PTR. There will be a US East PTR 1 world and a US East PTR 2 world. Downtime will begin at 12:00PM PT on June 22 and last approximately 90 minutes.

If you encounter a bug, exploit, or have suggestions to improve a feature or piece of content, we’d love to hear your feedback on our Discord (you can also utilize our in-game feedback tool). We will do our best to address as much of your feedback as possible before the content update makes its way to our live servers. Your participation will help us to deliver awesome content and updates in the future!

Check out an in-depth breakdown of the release in our official announcement and stay tuned to our social channels for updates.

World Experience

  • Fixed an issue that caused butterfly wing VFX to grow over time.
  • Data will now be sent to the UI for specific Quest types instead of the last Quest in the list.

AI Updates

  • Reduced detonation time of Sandwurm Pellet Bombs from 15 to 12 seconds.
  • Reduced Sandwurm vulnerability from Thrust weapons from 0.2 to 0.1
  • Increased duration of acid line left from the Sandwurm's Acid Spew attack from 3 to 6 seconds.


Tuning adjustments were made to the Hordemaster boss in the Hatchery Seasonal Trial:

  • Increased damage of the Reforged Grunt attacks by 50%.
  • Increased damage from Hatchet Bomb by 50%.
  • Increased damage from the second hit of Feral Rush by 65%.
  • Increased the total health of the boss by 50%.

Game Modes

Outpost Rush

  • Halved the personal points awarded for player damage from 0.01 to 0.005.
  • Increased personal score points for AI kills from 10 to 20.
  • Increased personal score for capture point contests from 0.2 to 0.3.

PvP Arenas

  • Fixed an issue where 3v3 Arena HUD and Scoreboard didn't update when a player was backfilled into a match.
  • Fixed PvP overtime sulfur ring visuals to better reflect the actual damage zone.

UX/UI/Social

  • Fixed a bug that caused reading journal documents to show the wrong number of unlocked pages.

Economy, Progression, and Gear

  • Fixed an issue that caused some sources of Trade Skill experience to double when applied to aptitude.
  • Changed the Focus attribute progression bonus at 50 and 200 points from line tension (which was bugged) to increase the chance of catching larger fish.

Seasons

  • Fixed missing icon for Sun-Baked Baldaquin camp skin.
  • Fixed Sandstorm Champion's Chest incorrectly awarding the Season 1 player title.
  • Fixed a label and typo on the Transmog Token tooltip in the seasons reward track.

Flame Keeper Season Trials

  • Reduced the damage of Meteor Shower by 10%.
  • Adjusted Meteor Shower to now cast at the target's position at the time of cast versus when the spell first spawns. The player can now move after the target appears over their head, and the Meteor Shower will now spawn at their original location, giving players more flexibility to dodge the attack.


Thanks for your support! We’ll see you in Aeternum.
