[h3]The following bug fixes have been made to the game:[/h3]

• Ever continuing Generational Typo polish, this month starring G24 and G25. Also fixed a few missing periods scattered abound.
• After an hour long diatribe with Eochaid extolling the virtues of scythes, he has determined which casting animations for Harmonic Saints to use while equipped with the following Staves:
  • Staff of Ruination
  • Guardian Scythe Staff
  • Sickle Rat Staff
• During G16's Unspeakable Thoughts, the Secret Meeting was too secret, causing Milletians to spawn on the ground level rather than the top of the tower.
• We've rewoven the messages displayed when applying Fateweaver to a target. Originally this was just to remove a stray space before 'specially', but we felt it needed some further clarity and a splash of color!
• Fixed the ampersand (&) display issues with items! It was present on a few equipment names, but mostly a lot of potions. May we walk free of the invisible danger pretzel.
• The message that displays when attempting to study too close to another player has been translated. Just in time- what do you mean the exam was last week?
• Several Muffler style wings introduced in the Stellar Wing Box were temporarily inaccessible in the Dressing Room. They can now be reaccessed!
• Visual fixes for the following items:
  • (Special) Bejeweled Monarch Gown (F)
  • (Special) Winter Forest Wanderer Outfit (F), Gloves (F), and Boots (F)
  • Winter Forest Campsite
  • (Ancient) [Water/Forest] Dragon [Lordling/Maiden] Plus Support Puppets
  • Seraphic Cantabile Holy Censer
  • (Special) [Showy/Sweet] Circus Performer's Outfit (M), Gloves (M), and Boots (M)
  • Guardian Boots (M)
  • Digital Destiny Gloves (M)
• Fixed an issue with the Shooting Star minigame where the indicator would disappear under certain conditions. Get your game on, go play!
• Corrected the Homestead Library Shelf's icon on the Building Information window.
• The post-game Time Remaining display for the Memory Match mini-game will now display the correct time.
• Fixed an issue in character creation where the Human’s race description would disappear if scrolled down.
• It is no longer possible to enter a Mafia match while you are in your Homestead as the game starts.
• Fixed an issue where in some situations Hans would refuse to draw a portrait.
• References to 'Four-Legged Animal Mark' have been corrected to 'Sheep Mark'. We believe this to be a conspiracy from Pan to lord over other quadrupeds.

[h3]The following are known bugs:[/h3]

• 
• In rare circumstances when rapidly casting Arrow Revolver, players will become unable to move or attack until receiving an attack or relogging.
• Shop items with expiration times start counting down upon the player logging in or changing channels, rather than having their countdown start when the item is purchased.
• There is an issue where one-time/limited items cannot be purchased from the in-game shop, but can be on the web shop.
• There is an issue with the in-game Guild list not populating with guilds.
• In some cases, it is not possible to transfer leadership to another player within the guild.

[hr][/hr]
Event Dates: Thursday, May 9th, 2024, After Maintenance ~ Thursday, June 6th, 2024, Before Maintenance
[h3] Event Details [/h3]

Oh, and you'll get a reward for doing so.
