Wolfhunter DLC Game Pack

Two New Dungeons

• Moon Hunter Keep: The Moon Hunter Keep was once the Colovian headquarters of the Order of the Silver Dawn, a group of peerless werewolf hunters found in western Tamriel. It was destroyed by the ancient werewolf Vykosa, who then took up residence at the estate. At first she merely turned the hunters against each other, each competing for the prize of joining her pack, but now she draws in werewolves from distant lands to vie for her favor. Imprisoned in the foul cells below the keep, Adonatus Varian must seek your help to eradicate Vykosa’s evil werewolf followers and remove her influence from the land before it spreads.
• March of Sacrifices: The March of Sacrifices is a section of the Hunting Grounds where mortals compete in teams for a boon from Hircine. It’s a deep ravine surrounded by impassable mountains, and populated with the most ferocious creatures of Hircine’s realm. The hunt quarry is a massive and powerful indrik imbued with special powers from the Daedric Prince himself. If a mortal manages to fell the beast and retrieve its glowing red heart, they may petition Hircine for a boon. This hunt is open to any mortal, but is rarely undertaken by any who are not a follower of Hircine. The competition is bloody, but for the foolish and incredibly desperate, Hircine’s game is a tantalizing opportunity to win a favor from the Prince.
• Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices are 4-player dungeons that are reached via Reaper’s March and Greenshade, respectively.
  • Moon Hunter Keep’s entrance is in northern Reaper’s March, northwest of Arenthia.
  • March of Sacrifices’ entrance is a shrine to Hircine in Western Greenshade, north of Woodhearth.
• Both Dungeons include a Normal version in addition to a challenging Veteran version.
• There are a number of rewards for each dungeon, including the following:
  • Unique item sets, including two new Undaunted Monster Mask sets, only available within the dungeons
  • Unique Achievement awards for completing the dungeons
  • A unique player Skin
  • A unique Memento
  • Several Titles
  • Unique housing items

New Collectibles & Furnishings
We’ve added a number of new collectibles for you to acquire in this latest DLC game pack!

• Gothic Hunter’s Headwear: Travel to either the Moon Hunter Keep or March of Sacrifices dungeons to unlock the Gothic Hunter's Headwear. (This is the reward for owning the Wolfhunter DLC game pack.)
• Sable Man-Beast Skin: Only those who have completed the "Moon Hunter Keep Challenger" achievement, by completing the most difficult tasks in Moon Hunter Keep, can proudly display this Skin.
• Bestial Personality: By completing the harshest challenges in the March of Sacrifices dungeon, and thus completing the "March of Sacrifices Challenger" Achievement, you may let slip the bonds of civility with this Personality.
• Werewolf Behemoth Sigil Memento: Unleash your inner werewolf with this sigil, earned by completing "The Great Indrik Hunt" achievement. The Great Indrik Hunt is completed by hunting the three Golden Indriks within the March of Sacrifices, and earning their boons.
• Trophy: Balorgh: Acquired for completing March of Sacrifices.
• Trophy: Vykosa the Ascendant: Acquired for completing Moon Hunter Keep.
• Bust: Balorgh: Acquired for completing Veteran March of Sacrifices.
• Bust: Vykosa the Ascendant: Acquired for completing Veteran Moon Hunter Keep.
• Monsters in Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices have a small chance to drop various decorative bone-pile furnishings. It's important to use every part of the kill… when there's anything left.
• Bosses in Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices have a chance to drop one of four rare Hircine-themed furnishing plans; the more difficult the dungeon, the better your chances of acquiring a furnishing plan.
• Added new furnishings to the Undaunted Quartermaster that can be purchased for gold after completing Wolfhunter achievements.

BASE GAME

New Battleground Map - Istirus Outpost
A new Battleground has been introduced - Istirus! Built late in the Second Empire to control the chronic pirate problem on the Strid River, the Istirus Outpost has become a forgotten relic since the outbreak of the Three Banners War with its dwindling resources fought over by all sides.

Istirus is a semi asymmetrical map that also allows players to mount!

Keep Recall Stones
We’ve added a new method of navigating Cyrodiil! Keep Recall Stones are new items you use from your inventory or quickslot wheel to recall to a Keep or Outpost. These can be purchased for 20,000 AP or earned from Rewards of the Worthy. There are several restrictions in place to use these items:

• You cannot recall to a structure that is under attack (shown on the UI as a starburst icon).
• You cannot recall to a structure while standing inside the region of a Keep, Resource, Outpost or Town.
• You cannot use a Recall Stone while actively in combat.
• Recall Stones can be used while in Caves of Cyrodiil, but not in the Imperial City.
• Recall Stones are account bound, so they can be banked but not traded to other players.
• You cannot use a Recall Stone while carrying an Elder Scroll.

Battlegrounds Outfit Styles
We've added new Outfit Styles to Battlegrounds! Now, when you complete a Battleground, you have a chance to obtain an Outfit Style for the Pit Demons, Storm Lords, and Fire Drakes' unique armor appearances.

• Pit Demons Outfit Styles are obtained by completing Deathmatch games.
• Storm Lords Outfit Styles are obtained by completing Flag Games (Capture the Relic, Chaosball).
• Fire Drakes Outfit Styles are obtained by completing Land Grabs (Domination, Crazy King).
• The chance of obtaining an Outfit Style is based on how well your team performed in the Battleground.
  • Victors have a much higher chance to obtain an Outfit Style than do second-place finishers, and second-place finishers have a much better chance than do third-place finishers. However, even teams coming in dead last have a small chance to obtain an Outfit Style.
  • The medals you obtain do not affect your chances at all - so you don't have to be fancy, just try to be victorious!
  • Placing on the Leaderboards for Battlegrounds also has a very good chance to award an Outfit Style from each of the three teams' armor visuals.

New PvP Collectible
The new Arena Gladiator Costume is now available, to those who would conquer their foes mercilessly. Simply collect 50 Arena Gladiator Proofs (found by completing the Conquest dailies in Cyrodiil) and purchase an Arena Gladiator's Exultation from a War Researcher for 10,000 AP. Use the Exultation, and it will consume the 50 Proofs and create a Runebox of the Arena Gladiator Costume.

Respec System Updates
We’ve updated the player ability respec system so activating respec mode no longer clears all of your points, but instead allows you to add and remove points from your abilities. You’ll still have the option to remove all points if you want a fresh start, though. We’ve also retained the morph-only option; for a reduced price, you can add and subtract any ability morphs.

• Anyone who loses a skill tree, such as vampire or werewolf, will now have all skill points in the associated tree refunded.
  • This will also apply retroactively.
• Anyone who previously removed one of these skill trees will have their additional skill points returned upon login.
• All of these changes will apply to rededication shrines and Skill Respecification Scrolls from the Crown Store.

Welkynar Style Item
The Welkynar Style Item, Gryphon Plumes, is now available from Cloudrest Trial. This Style Item is proudly worn by the gryphon-riding Welkynar themselves, and now you can earn the right to wear and craft this armor too - if you can defeat Z'Maja.

• You can earn Gryphon Plumes by defeating Z'Maja; more are earned by defeating her on harder difficulties, and she will not drop any Plumes unless fought on Veteran mode, or on Normal mode with all of her Welkynar Shade allies. The amount of Gryphon Plumes dropped is not randomized, but is based on the configuration of the final boss fight - the harder the fight, the more Plumes you'll obtain.
  
• Note that the Welkynar Style Motif will become available in a future patch, starting September 12 at 2pm UTC.

Champion Point Increase
The Champion Point cap has been raised by a total of 30 points (10 in each red/blue/green constellation) for a total of 780 Champion Points. The Champion Point experience curve has been automatically adjusted with this new cap, so that earlier Champion Points require less experience and can be earned faster.

• Added Jewelry Crafting materials to some Blacksmithing resource nodes.
  • You will occasionally find a single unit of Dust on a Blacksmithing node (or two units of Dust, if the Plentiful Harvest passive triggers).
  • If the Blacksmithing node's material is based on your character level, then so is the Dust you'll find on it. If the Blacksmithing node's material is based on your Blacksmithing passive rank, then the Dust you find will be based on your Jewelry Crafting passive rank.

Ability Changes Overview
We’ve made numerous ability changes with this latest update – some with global implications, while others are specific tweaks and quality of life changes. Some of our major goals with these changes include:

• Improving the Werewolf gameplay and quality of life: Several abilities received significant adjustments, leveling the skill line is considerably easier, and Werewolves are now capable of doing more core combat actions such as resurrecting or using synergies.
• Reducing the duration of snare and defile effects: Abilities and Item Sets that apply snares or defile debuffs on enemies have had their durations significantly reduced. Since most of the changes were made to damage over time abilities, you will have to recast those abilities earlier to keep an enemy permanently snared, which sacrifices some damage. Most area of effect snaring abilities were untouched, though, since the counterplay is just to move out of the area of effect.
• Increasing the viability of some older Item Sets: A few Item Sets have received some dramatic redesigns, while others were simply buffed to improve their usage.

General

• Increased the Movement Speed of all Monsters summoned from your abilities and Item Sets by 25%.
  Developer Comments:
  Monsters now have a 50% total Movement Speed bonus. They can keep pace with you when you are using Sprint or have Major Expedition, but stacking Movement Speed bonuses will allow you to outrun them.
• A visual effect will now appear over your character’s head when using Detection Potions, Magelight, or Expert Hunter to notify other players of your ability to see sneaking/invisible enemies.
• Decreased the range of Two Handed, Dual Wield, One Hand and Shield, Unarmed, and Werewolf Heavy Attacks to 7 meters from 10 meters.
  Developer Comments:
  The range for melee Heavy Attacks now matches other melee cast time and channeled abilities, such as Uppercut and Flurry.
• Fixed an issue where casting certain self-targeted abilities, such as Spike Armor, Dark Exchange, or Imbue Weapon, would remove you from Sneak.
• Enchantments now remember the weapon from which they were fired. This means if you fire a bow ability and weapon swap, when that bow ability deals damage, the enchantment on your bow will fire.
• Teleport abilities, such as Bolt Escape or Shadow Image, can no longer be cast before the Battleground match has started.

Dragonknight

• Ardent Flame
  • World in Ruin: This ability now also increases the damage over time component of Fiery Breath and its morphs.
  • Warmth:
    • This ability now only snares targets when you deal direct damage with an Ardent Flame ability (was any type of damage).
    • Decreased the duration of the snare to 3 seconds for all ranks (previously 2/4 seconds).
• Draconic Power
  • Reflective Scale
    • Reflective Plate (morph): This ability now also grants 2 seconds of immunity to snare and immobilization effects.

Nightblade

• Assassination
  • Death Stroke
    • : This ability now only stuns if you have 120 Ultimate or more. To visually show its readiness state, the icon will change to a recolored version and the animation of the cast will change.
  • Grim Focus
    • Merciless Resolve (morph): Removed the snare from this ability.
• Shadow
  • Aspect of Terror: Decreased the duration of the snare from this ability and its morphs to 2 seconds from 4 seconds.
  • Shadow Cloak: Dark Cloak (morph): Fixed an issue where casting this ability was removing you from sneak.
• Siphoning
  • Cripple: Decreased the duration of the snare and the Major Expedition buff from this ability and its morphs to 4 seconds from 8 seconds.

Sorcerer

• Dark Magic
  • Rune Prison:
    • Decreased the duration of the stun applied by this ability and its morphs to 2 seconds from 5 seconds.
    • This ability and its morphs can now be dodged.
    • Rune Cage (morph):
      • Decreased the damage done from this ability by approximately 20%.
      • This ability now only deals damage if the stun lasts for its full duration.
      Developer Comment:
      We have more changes planned for this ability in a future patch that will improve the messaging of when the stun will apply.
• Storm Calling
  • Mages’ Fury: Fixed an issue where dodging this ability and its morphs would still apply the execute explosion debuff to you.
  • Overload: Fixed an issue where the Heavy Attack from this ability and its morphs could not proc Weapon Enchantments or Poisons.

Templar

• Dawn’s Wrath
  • Radiant Destruction: Increased the maximum bonus execute damage dealt by this ability and its morph to 480% from 330%.
  • Solar Flare
    • Dark Flare (morph): Decreased the duration of the Major Defile debuff to 4 seconds from 6 seconds.
    • Solar Barrage (morph): Removed the cast time from this ability, and decreased the damage done by approximately 40%.
  • Sun Fire: Decreased the duration of the snare from this ability and its morphs to 3 seconds from 5/9 seconds.
• Restoring Light
  • Healing Ritual
    • Ritual of Rebirth (morph): Fixed an issue where you could dodge the secondary heal from this ability.
  • Rune Focus:
    • This ability and its morphs now apply Major Ward, Major Resolve, and all morph effects to you directly for 20 seconds at Rank IV.
    • Standing within the area of effect now increases the Major Ward and Major Resolve effects by 50%.
      
    Developer Comments:
    The new design of Rune Focus more closely matches the fast action combat, while still preserving the original feel of an area of protection.

Warden

• Animal Companions
  • Cliff Racer
    • Screaming Cliff Racer (morph): Fixed an issue where casting this ability would not orient your character to face the target.

  • Lacerate: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could sometimes heal you based on damage dealt from other abilities happening at the same time.
  • Twin Slashes
    • Rending Slashes (morph): Decreased the duration of the snare to 4 seconds from 9 seconds.
• Destruction Staff
  • Impulse
    • Pulsar (morph): Fixed an issue where this ability was only applying Minor Mangle to one target.
• Bow
  • Arrow Spray: Decreased the duration of the snare applied from this ability and its morphs to 4 seconds from 6 seconds.
  • Scatter Shot: Fixed an issue where using Roll Dodge immediately after casting this ability or its morphs would prevent the enemy from gaining crowd control immunity after you knocked them back.
  • Snipe
    • Lethal Arrow (morph): Decreased the duration of the Major Defile debuff applied to 4 seconds from 10 seconds.

World

• Vampire
  • Curing Vampirism will now refund all Skill Points that are invested in the Skill Line.
  • Drain Essence: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs would fail to cast if you used it against a crowd-control immune enemy while you were blocking.
• Werewolf
  Developer Comments – Werewolf Changes: There were a significant number of changes made to Werewolf this update. Some of these changes were made to improve the quality of life with leveling and maintaining the form, while others open up new gameplay possibilities.
  
  First, you’ll find leveling and maintaining your Werewolf is now considerably easier. The Devour passive is now granted automatically from the very start, so you can sustain the form better at lower levels before you’ve unlocked all the other skills. We’ve also significantly reduced the experience requirements to morph all skills.
  
  Second, you’ll be able to do more core combat actions as a Werewolf, such as resurrecting your allies or using Synergies. Werewolves will have a much easier time engaging in group content now that they can help their friends more effectively. This, coupled with some other changes such as the Blood Rage passive triggering on damage dealt instead of damage taken, means they can be more viable in group PvE activities such as dungeons.
  
  Finally, many morphs and abilities were changed to improve the cohesiveness of the Werewolf kit. Some combos and effects that weren’t very effective have been removed, while others were tweaked to better support the fast and ferocious playstyle of the Werewolf. As an example, we removed the stuns from Pounce and Piercing Howl, but dramatically improved Roar by making it instant cast, fear more targets, and have more competitive morph effects.
  • Werewolf Transformation:
    • You can now resurrect other players while transformed.
    • You can now use synergy abilities while transformed. You will use a unique Werewolf-themed animation instead of the synergy’s usual animation.
    • You can now use Siege Weapons while transformed.
    • Your Werewolf timer will no longer tick down while you are reviving in place while transformed.
    • Updated the tooltip of this ability and its morphs to better describe all the additional effects of transforming.
    • Fixed an issue where ranking up this ability and its morphs would transform you out of werewolf form.
    • This ability and its morphs no longer increase your Movement Speed or your Spell and Physical Resistance as a baseline effect. These bonuses have been moved to passive abilities in the skill line.
      Developer Comments:
      These bonuses were moved to passive abilities to help reinforce the feeling of progression you get from leveling the Werewolf skill line. It also allows for extra space to add more information to the Werewolf Transformation tooltip about all the other bonuses you have while transformed, such as your Max Stamina being increased or your Heavy Attacks dealing splash damage.
    • Pack Leader (morph):
      • The direwolves now scale with the bonuses from damage done.
      • The direwolves now randomly alternate between 2 direct damage abilities, previously 4, and they no longer use a non-damaging snare ability.

      • Fixed an issue where the direwolves would not respawn with you whenever you respawned.
  • Blood Rage: This ability now increases the timer of your Werewolf Transformation when you deal damage, rather than when you take damage. It adds 2/4 seconds to your timer with a 5 second cooldown.

    • Updated the visual effects on enemy corpses that can be devoured.
    • Improved the targeting and reliability for devouring corpses.
  • Hircine’s Bounty: This ability and its morphs now heal based on your Max Health; Hircine’s Bounty and Hircine’s Rage heal for 45% of your Max Health, while Hircine’s Fortitude heal for 60% of your Max Health.

    • Updated the visual effects for this ability and its morphs.
      • Howl of Despair (morph): The synergy now grants the ally Empower for all Light Attacks for 5 seconds. Previously, it granted 10% more Light and Heavy Attack damage for 15 seconds.
  • Pounce: This ability and its morphs no longer stun the target if they were already set Off Balance.
  • Pursuit: This ability now also increases your Movement Speed by 15/30%.

      • Ferocious Roar (morph): This morph now sets feared targets Off Balance.
      • Rousing Roar (morph): This morph has been renamed to Deafening Roar, and now applies Major Fracture for 10 seconds to feared targets.
  • Savage Strength: This ability now also increases your Spell and Physical Resistance by 5000/10000.
    • Note: This bonus was moved from a baseline effect of Werewolf Transformation to this passive.
  • All Werewolf abilities now require less experience to morph. The experience requirements to level up the Werewolf abilities now match the Weapon Skill Line abilities, and the Werewolf Transformation Ultimate experience requirement now matches Class Ultimate abilities.
  • Curing Lycanthropy will now refund all Skill Points that are invested in the Skill Line.
  • Fixed an issue where casting another ability while in the middle of a Werewolf Heavy Attack would cancel the Heavy Attack, instead of queuing the ability to cast when the Heavy Attack completed.

  • Mend Wounds:
    • Fixed an issue where the Light Attack heal over time from this ability could cause health desyncs.
• Undaunted
  • Trapping Webs
    • Shadow Silk (morph): Fixed an issue where the black widow spiders were using a poison damage over time effect that was being mitigated by the target’s Spell Resistance, instead of their Physical Resistance.

General

• Players who queue for Cyrodiil while grouped will now independently enter Cyrodiil on their own individual queue timers. 
  • This means a group that queues for Cyrodiil can have members in Cyrodiil and other zones as their group transitions into the campaign.
• Delve bosses in Cyrodiil now spawn like other Delves in Tamriel. Happy hunting!
• Updated the Alchemy satchels acquired from Conquest boards or from Imperial City Tel Var purchases to include new Alchemy materials introduced in Summerset.
• Adjusted several guards at Chalman Mine so they can be hit by ranged attacks.
• Zandur will now spawn properly in Red Ruby Cave.

Battlegrounds

• Healing Medals in Team Deathmatch now contribute more scoring value towards the end of game scoreboard, as well as weekly Leaderboards.
• You can no longer cast Undo or Frozen Gate to get into starting locations.
• Battlegrounds will now shut down due to the population falling below two players on two separate teams, instead of one team.

Itemization

• Fixed an issue where a few items in Cyrodiil would be considered “stolen” when picked up. In the lawless land of Cyrodiil, this is preposterous – and thus, these items are now no longer considered “stolen”.

Keeps

• Keeps now have 2 levels per resource material instead of 5.
• Resources now have 1 level for Defensive upgrades and 1 level for Production upgrades.
• Resources will now go from level 0 to 1 in about 10 minutes.
• A Keep will now gain its levels slower from a level 0 resource, but much faster from a level 1 resource.
• Prior upgrades which were spread out across 5 levels have been compressed into 2 levels for Keeps and 1 level for Resources, but the overall strength of each upgrade at maximum level remains the same.
• Keeps once again have Degrade turned back on. However, the degrade rate is much faster; a Keep can lose a resource level in about 5 minutes instead of an hour.
  Developer Comment:
  Resources and Keeps were always intended to be a symbiotic Structure, where capturing a Resource effected a Keep in a meaningful way. Resources were also meant to be the primary target for smaller groups and solo players that want to alter the course of the War. The speed which a Keep can be toppled has gotten faster and faster, resulting in Resources not living up to their desired design purpose and simply serving as beach-heads that don’t effect the Keep they’re tied to. By reintroducing degrade and condensing the levels of Keeps and Resources, we believe the war in Cyrodiil will offer more options for players in small groups or solo to contribute in a meaningful way. This returns Keeps and Resources to their intended interplay as a full entity instead of disparate beach-heads surrounding a Keep. If you want to cripple the guards at a Keep, take the Farm. If you want to make the walls weaker, take the mine. If you want the doors to drop faster, take the Lumbermill.
• Drakelowe, Dragonclaw and Brindle now offer an 8% AP bonus per Keep held.
  • This bonus is also noted on the Keep tooltip when you hover over it.
• Keep bonuses now give increases to AP, XP, Gold, Spell Crit and Weapon Crit for every level of ownership, instead of every other bonus.

Siege

• The siege masters of Vivec and Shor have learned from their counterparts in Sotha Sil, and all siege weapons will be more effective against players in Champion enabled Campaigns.
  Developer Comment:
  Siege damage over the years has tailed off in terms of raw output when comparing CP vs. No-CP campaigns. Siege in Non-CP campaigns deal damage that more closely resembles the original design and intent of Siege weaponry.  The changes we’re doing to Siege damage in Champion-enabled campaigns result in closer parity between CP and Non-CP Siege damage.
• The damage effects from Scattershot, Oil Pot and Meatbag will now last 4.5 seconds instead of 8 seconds.

Animation

• Players transformed into werewolves will now animate properly when interacting with objects in Battlegrounds.

Figure

• Fixed some visual tearing that would appear on the lower part of the Militant Ordinator Homespun robe.
• Fixed a small hole in the paw of some Senche pets and mounts.
• Fixed a seam that would appear near the neck of female characters wearing the Tsaesci motif.

Visual Effects

Justice System

• Many citizens who were previously unsuspecting of a thief’s ill intentions will now respond with suspicion when you approach.

Mementos

• Many Mementos that prevent you from moving now also prevent you from mounting while you are using them.
  Developer Comment:
  Many of these Mementos cause your character to use unique animations or spawn unique effects that don’t look very good (or stop working entirely) if you mount while using them. Since these Mementos also often stop you from moving entirely while they’re active, we decided to keep you from mounting up, instead of allowing you to mount but then be unable to ride off.

Monster Abilities

• Fixed an issue where a werewolf NPC would stop channeling Flurry once it struck any target. Werewolves that use Flurry now channel it to completion unless CC’d or killed.
• Nereid: The visual effects from Hurricane no longer persist longer than your character stands in the area of effect.
• Wisp: Dying wisps no longer repeatedly attempt to detonate until their detonation would hit something.

General

• Gold furnishing plans sold by Rolis Hlaalu or Faustina Curio using Night Pumice now use either Culanda Lacquer or Vitrified Malondo, depending on how magical they may be.
• Corrected several text issues with the furnishing plan for Relic Vault, Impenetrable.

Outfit System

• Fixed an issue where poison visual effects would not display on weapons while you had an Outfit Style applied.
• Now, while you’re working on your Outfits at an Outfit Station, other players will be sure to see you facing the Outfit Station, rather than staring off into space in the opposite direction, seeking inspiration for your next catwalk-ready design.
• Corrected an issue preventing Pyandonean and Sapiarch Outfit Styles from being previewed within Outfit Stations or the Outfit Collection.
• Fixed an issue where, while in Preview mode at an Outfit Station, your headpiece would disappear if you used the paint bucket tool on a slot that the chosen Head Style did not have.

Writs

• Lower tiers of Blacksmith, Clothier, and Woodworking Writs now all require fewer raw materials to satisfy, bringing them in line with the topmost tiers of each. Jewelry Crafting, Enchanting, Provisioning, and Alchemy Writs have not been modified.
• Updated the Equipment Writ Board's post-certification text to mention that it does, indeed, provide Jewelry Crafting Writs.
• Max-ranked Crafting Writs will no longer display a superfluous Inspiration award.
• Fixed an issue resulting in Provisioning Writs being somewhat unpredictable on what they required during the week.

General

• Fixed an issue that could occasionally cause the busts in the Crown Store preview view to load in crooked.
• Fixed an issue that would cause walking animations to stop playing when you exit an emote preview from the Crown Store.
• Fixed an issue where the Adorable Assassin Hair Style would have visual issues when equipped with Elder Council Tunic and Sash, City Isle Tunic Dress and Cyrod Patrician Formal Gown.
• The outline and animation from the Skein Wasp pet will no longer appear on the Character Select screen if the pet is inactive.

Assistants

• Assistants will now remain stationary while you are interacting with them to prevent closing the interaction when their owner moves around.
  • The Assistant will close active interactions and catch up to the owner if the owner moves about 40 yards away from it.

General

• You can now only select one role when queueing through the Activity Finder, and it will display next to party frames.
  Developer Comment:
  This change was made for a few reasons. Most importantly, it streamlines the queueing system so groups can be created faster. It’s also in an effort to address the issue where players would queue as multiple roles and get assigned the role they just can’t do, leading to bad group experiences. Now, if a player chooses a role, they are explicitly saying they are equipped to perform that role so there is less downtime at the start of the dungeon waiting for players to figure out which role they were assigned and making adjustments.
