COMBINED

Powers

General

• Fixed a bug that caused many critters with ranged attacks to change behavior and prefer melee range, including Rikti Drones and most Mastermind pets. Critters should behave as they used to again.
• Fixed a bug with the Blackwand power drawing from the ground and planting the player vs. just drawing the weapon normally.
• Players may once again choose to not accept or decline the Mystic Fortune buff power.
• Shield Defense (all) - characters will no longer walk on air when jumping with a shield drawn.

PVP

• Fiery Aura Fiery Embrace will no longer cause Travel Suppression in PVP
• Teamwork/Mind Link will no longer cause Travel Suppression in PVP
• Telekinesis in the Ancillary pools should now behave the same in PVP as standard versions and no longer repel players.

Invention

• The Backup Radio temp power now has only 5 charges as intended.

Mission Architect

• Fixed an issue with enemies disappearing when using "The Fab" unique map.
• Fixed a bug where pets would malfunction when using "The Fab " and "Grandville" unique maps.

• Fixed a bug where the last objective of a mission will still be marked if the player resets the mission and starts over.

Badges

• Fixed a bug that caused only Wolf Spider minions to count towards the Spider Smasher badge.

Tailor

• Put back the Braided Buns hairstyle option from the Martial Arts pack, which had temporarily gone missing.

City Zones

• Midnighter Club - Fixed a bug that sometimes caused characters to get stuck in the ground when moving between the Midnighter Club and Cimerora. The previous fix stopped working as soon as a player took a pet through the portal, and would not start working again until the shard was restarted.

Chat

• Some players using the "chat hidden" setting were getting chat banned without knowing it when auto-replies to other players were sent out too rapidly. Players with the "chat hidden" setting turned on will no longer auto-reply to other players.
