Gameplay Changelog - Sep 25-26

Auction House

• Fixed expired bid auctions so winners get the item, sellers get the gold, and losing bidders get their money back through mail.
• Cancelling an auction with an active bid now refunds the bidder by mail and returns the item to the seller.
• Bidding now updates the current bid, bidder, and timer on the Auction House without needing to refresh.
• Bidding on an auction now adds 5 minutes to the timer so other players can contest it.
• Buying or cancelling an auction now removes only that auction from the current results instead of refreshing everything.
• If an auction was already sold or removed, the player gets a clear popup and the stale auction is removed from the list.
• Auction House system messages now link the item so players can click it and see the tooltip.
• Auction posting has better failure messages, including when a player is at the auction limit.
• Random stat gear history now only compares against the same affix and power level.
• Auction House windows now use cleaner scrolling, better scrollbar limits, and gold/silver/copper icons instead of text letters.

Mail

• Auction House and system mail now automatically deletes after all items and gold have been taken.
• Mail attachments now stack into existing inventory stacks when there is room.
• Player mail keeps Reply and Delete options, while system mail cleans itself up after being claimed.

Rewards

• Quest turn-ins can now complete even if your inventory is full.
• Quest, Battleground, and Heroic+ reward caches can be sent to your mailbox when your bags are full.
• Reward messages now tell the player when the cache was sent to mail.

Hand Carts

• Added hand carts with a large 6x8 storage inventory.
• Players can build one hand cart inside their own house claim for 200 wood.
• Looking at a hand cart now shows the owner name.
• Hand carts support owner permissions, repair, dismantle, and claim protection.
• Empty carts are safe inside the owner’s claim, but carts outside the claim decay over time.
• Damaged carts can be repaired, and repair only shows when the cart is not full health.
• Cart cargo becomes lootable by anyone at low health, but pushing and management stay permission based.
• Cart controls were improved so A and D turn the correct way while pushing.
• Cart movement was improved for bridges, terrain, slopes, rubberbanding, and random release issues.
• Carts can be pushed into your own claim but cannot be pushed into another player’s house claim.
• Added the Hauling skill, which increases cart movement speed as you level it.

Combat

• Raise Dead now has a proper ability tooltip with name, instant cast, mana cost, cooldown, and description.
• Raise Dead now costs mana based on how many guardians are being raised and has a 10 second cooldown.
• Pet and guardian buttons now fade and become unclickable when you are a ghost, out of mana, or unable to use them.
• Hamstring and Purge are now unlocked by default for all accounts.
• Fleeing mobs now avoid running up or down very steep slopes.

Audio And Visuals

• Eating now uses softer eating sounds with random pitch, treble, and volume so it sounds less repetitive.
• Eating now shows subtle green and yellow plus particles above the player.
• Drowning now uses the new drowning sound when the player runs out of breath underwater.

UI And Controls

• Added the Guild window keybind on G and added it to keybind options.
• Character slots now wait for unlock data before loading, so unlocked slots should not briefly show as locked.
