Unfortunately the Dungeon promised for today didn't make it in due to some last minute glitches which we would rather test over the weekend and include it in next week’s patch scheduled for Wednesday.

Client crashes reported over the past week had us focusing on isolating their causes. We have addressed some, and we have also updated our logging for crashes, so if you are dealing with client crashes it's very important that you submit a report. We're working on fixing all related issues and your report helps us isolate and deal with your specific problem.

Here are the patch notes for today’s patch:

Round Robin System


You can enable/disable the round-robin system by right clicking on the party window. On the menu, select “TOGGLE ROUND ROBIN” to activate/deactivate. (It is enabled by default.)
Only the party leader can enable/disable the round-robin system.
Every time a party leader toggles the system, all party members get a notification related to this change.
Kills are distributed from top, down, meaning the leader gets the first kill and the rest follow all the way down to the last player.
Every time the leader changes, the kill distribution restarts.
