<p>'''''A strange, archaic and outdated device in the Rikti War Zone has been asking for you by name. If you are ready, you will step into the shoes of Paragon City's newest and most notorious villain as she comes face-to-face with a situation that (for once) she cannot handle. The amount of humble pie she consumes as a result has yet to be accurately calculated.<br />
<br />
A new take on the Personal Story, you and your teammates will be forced to assume to the identity of Piecemeal as you navigate a reconstructed simulation of her experience trying to circumvent the protocols in the Paragon City teleport grid - an event that sends her from one place to another uncontrollably before placing you in the heart of a burgeoning apocalypse. Carefully reconstructed from her 360-degree sensor tech and optical recordings by her M.C. of Information, Bile, you will engage in a bit of banter before witnessing the horror hands-on in this Abomination Simulation.<br />
<br />
Enjoy some of the canonical reasons for notorious changes, and a heaping bathtub full of foreshadowing!'''''</p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px;"><span style="color:#f39c12;">'''New Player Experience (NPE) Improvements'''</span></span></p>
<p>With everything finally becoming official, we're at the beginning of a new era for the game, and it is time we become better stewards of the core game itself. The first step is to start making some improvements to the new player experience (or NPE, as the cool kids refer to it) to remove some of the small &quot;pain points&quot; experienced by new players (you may have noticed a large influx of them recently!).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#f1c40f;">'''Character Creation Guidance'''</span></span></p>
<p>We cleaned up some of the language and graphics during character creation and tutorial selection to guide new players toward creating their characters in the easier starting areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Updated text to nudge new players to start in Primal Earth, not Praetoria.</li>
<li>Updated text to nudge players towards Breakout or Outbreak, not Galaxy City.</li>
<li>''RESISTANCE'' and ''LOYALIST'' are now colored blue and gold in the text descriptions (in the same way ''HERO'' and ''VILLAIN'' are colored blue / red).</li>
<li>&quot;City of Heroes: Freedom&quot; and &quot;City of Heroes: Going Rogue&quot; graphics replaced with &quot;Primal Earth&quot; and &quot;Praetorian Earth&quot; graphics.</li>
<li>Kheldians now show stats during AT selection (instead of a series of ?s).</li>
<li>EAT descriptions updated to state that they are not recommended for new players, cannot access the tutorial, and are locked to (start as) specific alignments.</li>
<li>Origin selection guidance text updated to clarify that it's primarily a narrative choice with minimal gameplay significance.</li>
<li>Several AT descriptions updated to correct poor grammar and remove needless gendering.</li>
<li>Several AT stats updated to better reflect their abilities.</li>
<li>Replaced all the ugly dashes (-) with pretty bullets (•).</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#f1c40f;">'''Access to Travel'''</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>New characters will automatically start with Athletic Run (players can swap this out at S.T.A.R.T, formerly P2W, for another version).</li>
<li>Passport (and Long Range Teleporter) is now unlocked by acquiring any 10 exploration badges, instead of one exploration accolade. This doesn't affect characters who already own Long Range Teleporter, and the Pocket D unlock method is still present.
<ul>
<li>Note: For technical reasons, this only counts exploration badges collected after the patch.</li></ul>
</li>
<li>New characters are given 30 minutes of the LKT-1700 Rocket Pack when training to level 2. The description informs players how to get more.</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#f1c40f;">'''Origin Attacks'''</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Damage is now more consistent during the early levels.
<ul>
<li>It is now scale 1.00 at levels 1 through 10. This damage declines linearly, starting at level 11, and ending at 0.30 at level 17 (previously the damage began dropping off from level 2).</li></ul>
</li>
<li>Endurance cost removed.</li>
<li>Recharge reduced from 4s to 3s.</li>
<li>Range increased from 45 feet to 80 feet to match most ranged attacks.</li>
<li>Now added to the tray upon character creation.</li>
<li>Power icon colors updated to Inherent color scheme.
<ul>
<li>Note: The existing icons still exist with their old file names if you were using them for macro images.</li></ul>
</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="font-size:18px;">'''<span style="color:#f1c40f;">User Interface Improvements</span>'''</span></p>
<ul>
<li><p>All three main power trays are expanded by default, and pre-set to tray 1, 2, and 3 rather than all being tray 1.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Additional trays added with the + button now default to tray 4, 5, 6, etc.</p></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>The inspiration tray is in its expanded state by default.</p></li>
<li><p>To avoid confusion with Sprint, Prestige Power Slide is now no longer added to the tray upon character creation.</p></li>
<li><p>Fixed a bug which sometimes caused power trays to be completely emptied if a new character zoned or logged off before moving powers in or adding extra powers to the tray.</p></li>
<li><p>Power trays now default to showing the first associated key binding instead of slot numbers.</p></li></ul>
 
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#f1c40f;">'''Options Improvements'''</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><p>Power recharge timers now default to on (Center).</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The power tray timer defaults to shown for powers with an estimated recharge of longer than 15 seconds. This can be changed in the options menu, or a custom value may be set using the /recharge_timer_threshold command.</p></li>
<li><p>Icons of recharging powers no longer shrink when the recharge timer is enabled, to make them easier to see behind the number.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Veterans used to the old behavior can override this with /tray_always_shrink 1.</p></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>New settings added to control power tray animations and add more customization options (format options, color coding, opacity) for the recharge timer.</p></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>The game's volume levels have been adjusted to make for a more comfortable experience.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The volume sliders now range from 0% - 150%.</p></li>
<li><p>The 150% setting is equivalent to the former 100% setting.</p></li>
<li><p>The slider range scales along a curve so that more of the slider results in usable volume levels.</p></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>The &quot;Show Pet Window Option&quot; setting has been removed and is always enabled.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>This just provides players with the ability to open the Pets window (by clicking &quot;Pets&quot; at the top of the Team window), it doesn't open the window by default.</p></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>Added an option to control power tray labels: Can be set to Key Bindings, Slot Numbers, or None.</p></li>
<li><p>The Auto-accept level changes above or below options now default to level 50 instead of 0, preventing pop-ups from appearing when teaming.</p></li>
<li><p>What was formerly called &quot;Inverted&quot; mouse is now &quot;Normal&quot; and vice-versa.</p></li>
<li><p>The Villain Name and Villain Health Bar UI options now include &quot;Always&quot; in the list of settings to cycle through.</p></li>
<li>Upon closer inspection, the existing keybind profile and save/load system turns out to only be half-baked. We put it back in the oven and made the following improvements:
<ul>
<li>Now correctly switches the selected profile in the drop-down when you log out and switch characters, instead of incorrectly showing the profile for the first character logged in.</li>
<li>Now saves the current profile name into the keybinds.txt file when saving bindings, so that other characters which load that file will use the correct base profile.</li>
<li>No longer saves every single key into keybinds.txt, only the keys which the user has customized. This matches how it's always been handled on the server side when saving characters, and makes the behavior consistent after saving/loading key bindings.</li></ul>
</li>
<li>Keys can now be unbound by pressing Escape after clicking on a key as if to rebind it. Previously there was not a simple way to unbind a key from the options UI.</li>
<li>Changes have been made to the options window to make it more intuitive to use. The various buttons have always been a source of trouble. The &quot;Apply Now&quot; button in particular is extremely unhelpful. Most of the time it doesn't actually do anything, because many options take effect immediately. Some options however require the Apply Now button to take effect. Worse, there is a third class of options that ''appear'' to take effect immediately, but don't actually ''save'' unless you click Apply Now, and will be lost after logging out if you simply close the window. Future updates to the window are planned to address these issues, but for now the following adjustments have been made:
<ul>
<li>The &quot;Apply Now&quot; button is now a &quot;Close&quot; button and simply closes the window.</li>
<li>If an option is changed which must be applied to save it, the &quot;Close&quot; button is replaced with an &quot;Apply Now&quot; button and starts flashing, making it clear to the player that the setting change they made needs to be applied. Once clicked, the settings are saved and it goes back to being a &quot;Close&quot; button.</li>
<li>The &quot;Cancel Changes&quot; button no longer closes the window, and has become an &quot;Undo Changes&quot; button that reverts any changes you have made since opening the options window.</li></ul>
</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Control Scheme'''</span></span></p>
<p>The game's default key bindings and mouse options have been modernized:</p>
<ul>
<li>The default run forward binding now turns the character to face the camera direction. This mostly affects what happens when you press forward after using free look to change the camera angle.</li>
<li>Running forward with Left Button + Right Button is now a standard run and does not activate autorun.</li>
<li>Left-mouse-button dragging activates Quick Look mode, which is similar to free camera look with the middle mouse button but snaps back to center when the button is released.</li>
<li>The default bindings for the top tray (Alt2) changed from Control+# to Shift+# for reduced finger strain on commonly used combinations.</li>
<li>The pop-up server tray now has default key bindings of Control+#.</li>
<li>Team member selection bindings moved to Shift+F1 - Shift+F8.</li>
<li>Default key bindings for collapsing and switching power trays removed. With more trays visible all the time and the extra added trays, having 1 of them change when pressing minus or equals isn't as useful, and it was easy to accidentally press these and cause confusion.</li>
<li>'''The previous bindings are available under the drop-down as the &quot;Classic&quot; preset, and should work just like they always have.'''</li>
<li>'''These changes only apply to new characters, and are overridden by customized bindings that were previously saved as the default for new characters (the &quot;Save to default file&quot; button).'''</li>
<li>Applying some or all of these settings on existing characters may require either resetting to the default bindings or manually applying the changes.</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;">'''<span style="font-size:18px;">In-Game Guidance</span>'''</span></p>
<ul>
<li>When gaining the free Rocket Pack at level 2, you are presented with a pop-up explaining how to get more at the S.T.A.R.T. Vendor.</li>
<li>Finding your first exploration badge now gives a pop-up explaining that you'll get LRT if you collect 10 in total.</li>
<li>Fixed and updated the missing Invention tutorial pop-up when reaching level 10 (this pop-up will also automatically unlock the Invention tutorial contact relevant to your faction).</li>
<li>Rewrote the &quot;You got a Tip!&quot; Pop-up to be more up-to-date and informative.</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Miscellaneous'''</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Pay 2 Win (and Transact 4 Victory) have rebranded as S.T.A.R.T.</li>
<li>Exploration badges now award a tour guide tip.
<ul>
<li>The very first exploration badge you pick up does not award a tip (to avoid getting two pop-ups from one badge).</li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>Exploration badges now grant Patrol XP instead of regular XP.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The amount of Patrol XP gained is dramatically higher than the previous amount of regular XP previously gained.</p></li>
<li><p>The amount scales with level, starting with 1.5 bars at level 1, down to 0.25 bars at level 50.</p></li></ul>

<p>This feature addresses inconsistencies with Epic Pool powers with regards to rules around their stats and penalties, as well as general bug-fixes. These powers have been swept through in order to consistently follow these rules so that all epic powers are at a shared baseline for their power type. This should mitigate many imbalances between epic pools where arbitrarily one had better or worse versions of a type of power than another due to recharge, damage, or area coverage. This should create more diverse and viable build options available to players instead of them feeling funneled towards the “best” ones even if it is against their chosen theme. This in turn allows us to introduce many new epic pools in this page and in the future that follow these standards across all Archetypes.</p>

<p>'''New Mechanic for Leviathan Mastery &gt; Spirit Shark:'''</p>
<ul>
<li>When you own Spirit Shark, most actions that cost endurance will have a chance of granting a Leviathan Hunger stack.</li>
<li>The damage over time increases the more Hunger stacks you have. All Leviathan Hunger stacks are consumed when you successfully hit an enemy with this power.</li>
<li>Total damage ranges from scale 1.56 with no Hunger stacks to scale 3.4 with 5 Hunger stacks</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Epic Hold Attacks'''</span></span></p>
<p>'''Instead of Epic Hold attacks having their standard 4.0x cooldown penalty for hard mez, these attacks will now have a 3.0x cooldown penalty.''' Previously, this penalty was overlooked for a few hold attacks, but now all should be following the same set of design rules.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Epic Immobilization Attacks'''</span></span></p>
<p>'''Instead of Epic Immobilization attacks having their standard 2.5x cooldown penalty for soft mez, all these attacks will now have the same 2.0x cooldown penalty as regular attacks.''' To compensate, damage and endurance costs are lowered. Typically, this change will look like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Single Target Attacks
<ul>
<li>Recharge lowered form 10s to 8s</li>
<li>DoT ticks lowered from 0.20 scale to 0.1724 scale</li>
<li>End cost lowered from 9.75 to 8.405</li></ul>
</li>
<li>AoE Attacks
<ul>
<li>Recharge lowered from 20s to 16s</li>
<li>DoT ticks lowered from 0.10 scale to 0.0837 scale</li>
<li>End cost lowered from 12.74 to 10.751</li></ul>
</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Dark Mastery &gt; Spirit Drain (replaces Soul Drain)'''</span></span></p>
<p>'''This power replaces Soul Drain from the Dark Mastery epic pool (Defenders, Corruptors).''' Soul Drain had '''''' ignored the standard epic cooldown penalties while also obtaining a larger than standard radius, making it a superior power to even the AT-specific version. Instead of applying the appropriate penalties (which would have made it a 240s cooldown and 10' radius power), we have taken this opportunity to rebalance it into a unique power (separating itself from Soul Mastery which also has the Soul Drain power) that trades some of its former potency for increased utility.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spirit Drain is a 60' ranged attack that can hit up to 5 targets within a 15' radius. Unlike Soul Drain, these targets can be alive or defeated. The cooldown remains 120s, however the buff duration will now be 15s instead of 30s. This power is still quite potent as it can do the same amount of self-buff as Build Up, while having a longer duration, can be used as an attack from distance, and have a very minor cooldown penalty</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Summary of details:</p>
<ul>
<li>120s cooldown, 2.37s cast time</li>
<li>60 foot range</li>
<li>4.8 scale damage buff from 1 target, 8.0 scale damage buff from 5 targets</li>
<li>1.2 scale to-hit buff from 1 target, 2.0 scale to-hit buff from 5 targets</li>
<li>0.40 scale damage (Negative Energy)</li></ul>

<li>After about 6 activations, you will guarantee Lightning (Spread) each proc as long as you keep attacking.</li></ul>
</li></ul>
</li></ul>

<p>'''''Similarly to Cold Domination, Storm Summoning has been using incorrect values for one of its powers (Freezing Rain). It now is a true pseudopet and will use that caster's AT modifier tables. Summary of changes for each AT is provided below.'''''</p>
<ul>

<li>Fixed Dark Nova's tail displaying briefly after transforming back.</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Various Archetypes:'''</span></span></p>
<p>'''Savage Leap, Touch of Fear, and Fault'''</p>
<ul>
<li>These powers use execute power effects in their implementation, which were negatively affected by its &quot;housing&quot; power notifying enemies (e.g. Hidden status would break before the executed attack would fire - causing failure for hidden critical hits). The &quot;housing&quot; power no longer notifies enemies, fixing this bug.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Twilight Grasp (Critters and Pets)'''</p>
<ul>
<li>No longer uses -regen debuff effects intended for PvP. These effects will now always do -50% regeneration.</li></ul>

<li>Fixed Single Shot using wrong animation while flying.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Dual Pistols'''</p>

<p>'''Elixir of Life'''</p>
<ul>
<li>No longer flagged to ignore outside buffs. Instead, it will ignore all outside damage buffs. This fixes a bug where outside recharge buffs did not affect this power's cooldown.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Fiery Aura'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Added highlight icon to Phoenix Rising. Shows extreme AoE damage when alive and self-rez when dead.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Ice Blast'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Restored cold continuing fx to Ice Bolt, Ice Blast, Frost Breath, and Bitter Ice Blast.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Ice Melee'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Restored cold continuing fx to Frozen Fists and Ice Sword.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Pain Domination'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed the FX of Enforce Morale attaching to the wrong hand.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Shield Defense'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed Taunt when paired with Shield using beatchest sfx instead of normal taunt sfx.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Spines'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed Ripper animation time not matching minimum sequencer frames (the power was never actually animating at 2.17s) (Spines, Plant Manipulation, Thorny Assault).</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Scourging Blast (Enhancement Proc)'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Now ignores combat levels.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Storm Blast'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Direct Strike now accepts interrupt time enhancements.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Temporary Powers'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Toy Bat can no longer be used in Pocket D.</li>
<li>Charges for the Toy Bat power can be purchased from S.T.A.R.T. vendors for 100,000 influence.</li>
<li>Toy Bat now uses the correct power icon: [[File:https://forums.homecomingservers.com/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png|class=ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed|Temporary_SillyBat.png.459825db74abbd94226d6972704bed4f.png]]</li>
<li>Toy Bat now makes a silly sound when hitting a target.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Traps'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed Web Grenade not accepting slow IO set enhancements for Defenders, Controllers, and Corruptors.</li></ul>
 
<p>'''Vanity Pets'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Vanguard MVAS standardized to be unselectable and without collision like all other vanity pets.</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:16px;">'''&quot;Cancel On Damage&quot; Flag'''</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Effects flagged to cancel when damaged will now properly cancel. This affects both player and critter powers, most notably:
<ul>
<li>Placate power's Hidden status and stealth effects</li>
<li>Perception debuff effects used by critters in PvE and by players in PvP (e.g. Smoke Grenade, Flash Arrow, etc).</li></ul>
</li>
<li>Related to this, various critter powers were missing Cancel on Damage flags.
<ul>
<li>Fixed Crey Eliminator Tear Gas Grenade, Immunes Engineer Tear Gas Grenade, and Doppelganger Ninja Training Blinding Powder missing their Cancel On Damage flag.</li>
<li>Placate (stalker, bane and widow versions) powers now grant hide for 5s that cant be broken by damage in addition to a 10s hide that cancels if damaged. Both of these durations run at once, so the max duration is always 10s.</li>
<li>Stalker Guile proc now grant hide for 3s that cant be broken by damage in addition to a 10s hide that cancels if damaged. Both of these durations run at once, so the max duration is always 10s.</li></ul>
</li>
<li>Also related to this:
<ul>
<li>Axe Cyclone has its cancel event flag removed from the repel effect. However, other concerns of this power materialized from a previous bug fix on this power, but those will be addressed in a later page.</li></ul>
</li></ul>

<p>Our intent is that all legacy costume parts are available from the outset, including any previously unavailable parts (like the Sybil outfit). Occasionally we will opt for new content to be unlockable. There's absolutely a benefit to having a (very small) portion of content discoverable and acquirable in the game, instead of available from the outset. The game is full of things that get unlocked in differing ways - Accolade powers, Aether costumes, and (new in this update) the Giant Monster minipets. This was the case during the live era too, we're just starting again with a blank slate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the Snakeskin capes specifically, it's our intent to make it an account-wide unlock eventually, but there are some underlying technical issues preventing it at the moment. It's not a simple problem though, so it may take some to overcome.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:20px;"><span style="color:#f39c12;">'''Miscellaneous'''</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Looking For Group'''</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">'''Rikti Mothership Raid'''</span></p>
<ul>
<li>The LFG version of this raid is no longer restricted to Level 35-50 and is now open to all levels, identical to the zone version.
<ul>
<li>You cannot queue for this raid from any of the starting zones ''(Atlas Park, Mercy Island, Nova Praetoria)''.</li></ul>
</li>
<li>No longer requires the Member of the Vanguard badge, however the ability to earn Vanguard Merits from defeated Rikti enemies in the raid is still tied to owning that badge.</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Client'''</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed a client crash in Ultra Mode when the costume window was opened on a character with all 10 costume slots unlocked while standing close enough to a building with window reflections, while a player or NPC with a reflective costume part was close enough and a water surface was rendering water reflections.</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Gamma Correction'''</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>The game now implements gamma correction in the shader programs rather than using the legacy hardware gamma API.
<ul>
<li>The hardware gamma API has been very unreliable since Windows 10 and only works with certain GPU and monitor configurations.</li>
<li>The legacy API, when it works, changes the gamma correction for the entire monitor, which may be undesirable when running the game in a window.</li>
<li>By moving it to the shader programs that run on the GPU, we can guarantee that the option always works consistently across platforms.</li></ul>
</li>
<li>The gamma correction slider in the graphics options window has been adjusted so that most useful range of values (100% - 200%) occupies a much larger part of the slider bar, in order to allow for finer control when setting it.</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Doors'''</span></span></p>
<ul>

<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Error Messages'''</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Improved wording on the error message that displayed when attempting to invite an opposite alignment character to a co-op zone team when the current active task is an alignment-locked mission.
<ul>
<li>'''OLD:''' &quot;''FACTION Only: Currently, you cannot add members to your team who are not in the same faction as you.''&quot;</li>
<li>'''NEW:''' &quot;''You cannot invite characters from an opposite alignment to the team while the current active task is an alignment-locked mission.''&quot;</li></ul>
</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Geometry'''</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed pixel thin halo around warehouse light cones.</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;">'''<span style="font-size:18px;">Tip System</span>'''</span></p>
<ul>
<li>When a tip drops and you are at the maximum number of tips, under certain conditions your oldest tip will be automatically dismissed to make room for the new tip.
<ul>
<li>This currently only applies to alignment tips, exploration tips, and spring fling valentines tips.</li>
<li>Morality tips will never be dismissed automatically, nor will Halloween or special mission-related tips such as Wizard's Weakness.</li>
<li>Alignment tips can be dismissed to make room for a morality tip, otherwise only tips of the same type that dropped can be dismissed.</li>
<li>Any tips for which you have begun investigation and obtained a mission from will not be automatically dismissed.</li></ul>
</li></ul>
 
<p>'''<span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#f1c40f;">User Interface</span></span>'''</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed some small issues with UI scaling not being properly applied a few places.
<ul>
<li>Arrows on extra power trays were not scaling horizontally and would get tall and skinny at high UI scales</li>
<li>Scrollbar grip handles that appear when dragging were sometimes extending out of the bottom of the scrollbar thumb at high UI scales</li></ul>
</li>
<li>Fixed the primary and secondary power tabs on the character creation screen not scaling their hitboxes correctly to screen resolution.</li>
<li>Fixed some minor scaling issues on the badge tab of the info window.</li></ul>
 
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:18px;">'''Other'''</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed PVP enhancement recipes in auction house and inventory using enhancement display names instead of recipe display names.</li>
<li>Office Telephones (e.g. Atlas Park Tailor) should ring less frequently (every 4-7 mins over the previous 12-30s).</li>
<li>Fixed neighborhood music not playing after logging in or zoning.</li>
<li>Fixed an AI issue causing certain teleporting or summoning enemies to not utilize their full power suite.</li>
<li>Fixed an issue with name filtering incorrectly blocking the creation of characters with an apostrophe or question mark in their name.</li></ul>
