• Massive changes to learned Traits for all Races / Professions. These are still not finalized but getting closer. After this is done I will be extending out the branches and implementing the new learned ability system.

• Updated Tutorials to be cleaner and easier to read.

• Updated Stats on Tooltips to be cleaner and easier to read.

• Re-added the ability to show the in-game date in the F4 menu (seen below).

• Fixed terrain details to use the correct material increasing FPS and stability.

• Most minor reported bugs have also been fixed.

• This is a list of known critical bugs:

• If you change a hero's race during creation, there is a chance the HUD will show multiple characters. Simply save then restart the game to correct this.

• 'Sometimes' abilities/attacks won't work after creating a new game making the initial training dummy unforgettable, simply restart the game to correct this

• If a mob is stunned in the Sanctuary Arena, there is a chance that the arena won't complete correctly, leaving the player stuck.
