This month's QA cycle is a bit shorter since most of the new content and features are focused on the upcoming new zone. However, there are a few improvements that need some testing! (Note that characters have not been copied over from live recently)

• Added portrait to Ageta

• Improvements to the 3^ spawns near the Highland Hills Ember Vein solo loop.

• Revamped mastery tab selection on the skills + crafting UI.

  • Adventuring & Gathering/Crafting tabs are now slightly separated on the Crafting UI.

  • Gathering tabs always come before Crafting tabs on the Crafting UI.

• Ember Essence can now be tracked on your action bar: right clicking the bubble has a new option called "Ember Essence" if you have an Ember Stone.

• Added a new tell audio clip called "Notification"

• Revamped player stat panel.

  • Weapon augments are now included on your stat sheet (main hand only).

  • Improved visuals with better titles/spacing

  • Improved tooltips for stats.

  • Negative haste now accurately reflects based on the server calc.

  • Holding alt will break stats out into Equipped / Augments / Effects

• Updated UI list pooling back end. This could impact anything with a list including: merchant item lists, social lists (friends, guilds), chat windows, auction house, hunting log, quest log, etc. If you notice anything weird with lists in a UI element please report your findings.

• Minor shadow optimization to some dungeon rooms.

Grizzled Peaks 2 Update

Grizzled Peaks 2 (not the final name) is on track for going live next week and is chalked full of exciting new content. This dev update includes a number of behind the scenes technical upgrades that are required for this zone to function so please be on the look out for any oddities. Some teases:

• New level 50 raid zone.

• New creature.

• New stat system for GP2 mobs

• New "Threat Modifier" stat

• New equipment layering system

• Supports small/medium/large groups & raids.

• Multiple progression paths exclusive to this zone including:

  • custom hunting logs

  • a new gear progression system

Don't be fooled by the niceties however as this zone is the most challenging content we have designed to date. There are no outposts, no conveniences; you are going to have to work for it.
