[h3]Story, Journey and New Player Experience[/h3]

• [p]We added a fail-safe dialogue option for players who could crash during the loading or inside the dialogue with Fenring during the "Called to a Count" journey. [/p]

  • [p]In case it fails to spawn, we added the contract to the Anvil Contract Board so you can take it from there.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a known issue with the deletion of a character and the creation of a new one, where you would spawn at your deleted character’s last logoff location instead of a Hagga Basin South spot after the Tutorial.[/p]

[h3]Deep Desert and Landsraad[/h3]

• [p]Fixed an issue where the Landsraad contracts got closed several hours after being revealed on North American servers, with multiple servers having no winning decree. [/p]
  • [p]The decree that won on Monday will be the one set as the enacted decree after the hotfix. [/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where there were considerably fewer crashing ships in the Deep Desert.[/p]
• [p]The “Right of Salvage” Landsraad decree’s description was updated to mention only PvP areas in the Deep Desert instead of the entire Deep Desert beyond the Shield Wall.[/p]
  • [p]A fix for “Right of Salvage” not causing players to drop their items as expected is in the works and will come at a later date.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where the Deep Desert layout had the same loot it had last week. [/p]
