Ancient Lands Overhaul
This patch focuses on improving the flow of the recently introduced Ancient Lands. Portals are now always visible on the World Map, and entry windows have been extended across all portal sizes to reduce player downtime. Additionally, regular enemies in Large Portals have had their health slashed by 50% to speed up progression.
Combat & Raids
In the Dragon Sanctuary, Azaryon’s Inferno is now more punishing for players who ignore mechanics, while the Lingering Dragon Spirit duration has been reduced to facilitate better raid scheduling. For combat balance, the Oathkeepers' Blessed Aurora healing has been reduced from 66 to 50.
Quality of Life & Fixes
The update also introduces several UI improvements to the Destiny Board and addresses critical bugs, including an issue where players could become invulnerable when dying to damage-over-time effects.
