Strike Missions
• The Challenge Mode for Strike Mission: Old Lion's Court is now available for those looking to face Scarlet's most devious watchknight threat! Players who defeat this challenging encounter can purchase new rewards.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused defiance bars to unlock sooner than intended during phase transitions in Strike Mission: Old Lion's Court.
  
• Fixed an issue that sometimes allowed Boiling Aether to be created during phase transitions in Strike Mission: Old Lion's Court.
  
  General
• The Primordus legendary variant skin collection is now available. Speak with Leivas after unlocking an Aurene-based legendary weapon to begin this collection!
  
• Equipped items that you have not selected an attribute combination for will display an alert icon to make them easier to identify.
  
• Profession icons in player portraits now display a tooltip to identify the player's profession or elite specialization.
  
• You can now export your custom input bindings to store locally and share them across devices you play on, allowing you to quickly switch bindings by importing them. Exported bindings will be saved in a new folder alongside your screenshots folder. Only currently active bindings are saved to your account.
  
• An option to randomize your character's appearance and armor colors is now available during character creation.
  
• An icon has been added to the world map which will display a tooltip with information about how to use your personal waypoint, leave pings, and draw on your map.
  
• Story Journal Improvements:
  
  • A new "View Next in Journal" button has been added to the pop-up notification after completing an episode or story chapter. Pressing it will open the Story Journal to the next available episode or story chapter. The button will display as "Unlock Next" if you have not unlocked that content yet.
    
  • After you complete the final step of any story chapter, episode, or Living World season, your active story will automatically be set to the beginning of the next chapter, episode, or season instead of your next personal story objective.
  World Polish
• The existing exotic Primordus weapon set has been renamed to the Destroyer weapon set. Associated achievements and collections have been updated to reflect the new name.
  
• During the Living World Season 1 episode "Sky Pirates," the Hard Boiled and Case Closed missions can now be played out of order when replaying the storyline.
  
• Fixed an issue that allowed players to receive rewards for Group Effort IV and V more than once per completion of the Battle for Lion's Arch meta-event.
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented the Tower Purifier 2 achievement from progressing.
