Combat and Classes
The Warrior legendary passive has been reworked into a powerful bleed.
Physical critical hits always apply the bleed, while normal physical hits have a 25% chance.
Additional hits add damage to the existing bleed
Warriors gain 15% movement speed while chasing a bleeding enemy within 30 yards.
The chase effect now makes the Warrior larger and covers them with a red, bloody appearance.
Boneward Shield now reflects damage even when the incoming attack is blocked, dodged or parried.
Combat range against large enemies now uses the nearest edge of their selection circle. Large bosses can now be attacked properly from their sides and rear.
Parties

Ready checks display who is ready and who has not responded.
A second ready check cannot be started while one is already active.
Ready checks now play a clear sound for every party member when they begin.
Guild Town Halls
Guild leaders can now place one Town Hall for their guild.
Town Halls create the centre of a guild claim.
Town Halls can only be placed in PvP regions.
They must be placed at least 60 tiles away from blocked land.
Constructing a Town Hall requires 10,000 wood, 5,000 rock and 250 building hits.
No Construction skill level is required.
World and Furniture
Furniture placed outside a protected claim can now always be picked up by any player.
Furniture placement now prevents players from trapping themselves inside the newly placed object.

Ardenfall can receive rain and strong winds.
Nightfall can become heavily clouded with light drizzle and wind.
The Highlands can shift between calm weather, heavy wind and storms.
The Dark Forest can receive cloudy, windy and drizzly weather.
Rain follows the wind naturally.
Rain is blocked by roofs, bridges and other overhead cover.
