Greetings, Ascended!

Today we are rolling out patch 1.1.7.14 on XBOX, patch 1.07 on PlayStation, and patch 1.1.7.5 on PC. This patch brings further balancing changes to the game, and various bug fixes.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where using auto sort on a personal storage tab would prevent the player from being able to interact with items in the other tabs.
• Fixed an issue where summons would incorrectly benefit from the same damage and health buffs as enemies in Infinite Difficulty. Summons will now scale in power in-line with non-summon skills as intended.
• Fixed an issue where summons would be so enthralled by the might of Ohsara that they would not attack her, and would instead stand around gawping.
• Fixed an issue where summons would become rather shy, giggle inappropriately, and not attack the "Lambach Tentacle" enemy.
• Fixed an issue where summons would sometimes not move into melee range, and would instead stand in place whilst valiantly attacking the air.
• Fixed various instances where ASMs for multiple skills which increase ailment damage were only doing so for the primary target.
• Fixed an issue where some variants of Zephyron, Herald of Change, would allow a bit too much change and give players access to two elemental types of skills at once.
• Fixed an issue where clicking on a portal at the same time as triggering certain skills would cause the player to teleport to various nooks and crannies in Stormfall.
• Fixed an issue in multiplayer where Bladestorm's SFX and VFX would persist for the host if used by another player as they leave the host's game.
• Fixed further instances of T-posing NPCs on Consoles.
• Fixed an issue where Sirkis' Breath of Fire VFX would persist after failing the event.
• Fixed an issue which allowed the player to open their inventory at Demetra's shop.
• Fixed an issue where switching tabs at Dematra's shop would cause the minimap to disappear.
• Fixed an issue on gamepad where the inventory wheel highlight would "stick" if the player chose an item incompatible with a selected City Building Project.
• Fixed an issue where portals were missing their looping SFX.
• Added an audio cue when unlocking additional storage space.
• Removed the timeout function when attempting to ping a game server. This should resolve a niche issue where some players were returned to the main menu.
• [PlayStation only] Fixed an issue where the Difficulty Shields on the War Table would have a stretched texture when focused.
• Added performance improvements to merchant UIs, which should improve player experience at Trade Shrines and Temporary Storage Chests.
