Patch Notes

This patch adds resurrection support for more endgame content and support for renaming characters via the website, as well as other improvements and bug fixes.

Improvements and changes

• Added up to five resurrection attempts for the Twisted Domain area based on the difficulty of the area. If you complete the Breach Domain area but die during the Xesht, We Who Are One boss fight, you will be resurrected at the boss arena entrance. If you die before completing the Breach Domain area, you will be resurrected at the beginning of the area. Repeated attempts of the area will result in you not receiving experience from monsters.
• Added up to five resurrection attempts for the Olroth, Source of the Fall boss fight based on combat difficulty.
• Added up to five resurrection attempts for the Core of Nothingness area based on the area difficulty. If you die before killing the King of the Mists, you will be resurrected in the boss arena and the fight will start over.
• Revivals can only be triggered by the person who used the expedition log, the breakthrough stone, or an audience with the king, and all members of your group will be revived at the same time.
• More checkpoints have been added to several map areas and the placement of some checkpoints has been improved.
• Added the /ResetAtlas chat command, which can only be used to reset your Atlas if it is in a bricked state (no available maps).
• Added minimap icons for Vaults.
• Mini-map icons for league mechanics now stay visible no matter how far you move away from them, making it easier to return to them later.
• Hitting inanimate objects such as ice crystals, storm bells, or climbing arrow plants can no longer cause your trigger abilities to generate energy.
