Adjustments to the Hordemaster Boss in the Hatchery Seasonal Trial

The Hordemaster Boss in the Hatchery Seasonal Trial has been adjusted to make the fight more challenging. This includes an increase in damage from various attacks and a 50% increase in the boss's health.

Game Modes: Outpost Rush and PvP Arenas

Outpost Rush has undergone some changes to personal points: points for player damage have been halved, while points for AI kills and capturing control points have been increased. In the PvP arenas, an issue with the HUD and scoreboard was fixed when a player was backfilled into a running game.

UX/UI/Social & Economy, Progression, and Equipment

Some issues have been fixed in the UX/UI/Social area, such as the incorrect display of unlocked pages in diary documents. In the economy, progression, and equipment, an issue was fixed that caused some sources of crafting experience to be doubled when applied to suitability. Additionally, the focus attribute progression bonus was adjusted at 50 and 200 points.

Seasons & Flame Keeper Season Trials

In the seasons, missing icons, errors, and typos have been fixed. Additionally, adjustments have been made to the Flame Keeper Season Trials, such as a 10% reduction in damage from Meteor Shower and a change in the spell's functionality.
