changedA quick hotfix for a few issues:Prism Health increased from 75 back up to 85 for now. Health was previously 85 before the most recent patch that reduced it to 75, but that created a potential balance issue ahead of an upcoming tournament finals. We'll re-evaluate this change soon.
removedA quick hotfix for a few issues:Hexen Skull of Shedda can no longer enter stealth.
changedA quick hotfix for a few issues:Observer camera max zoom distance reduced from 10,000 to 9,000. For reference, normal game camera max zoom is 6,500.
fixedA quick hotfix for a few issues:Fixed a visual issue where shroud fog elements would pop out around map edges at max observer zoom levels.
changedA quick hotfix for a few issues:Shroud visual radius math and edge thickness has been slightly adjusted so that it better lines up with the map grid and gameplay radius values. This makes it easier to correctly place an Effigy within shroud near the edges, whereas previously it was hard to see the real boundary.
fixedA quick hotfix for a few issues:Fixed a visual issue where shadows would pop out at wider zoom levels. Particularly smaller entity shadows would disappear sooner than other, larger shadows. Now, shadows should all consistently display through all zoom ranges.
