Patchnotes - Weekly Update August 14th,

[p]Hello Everyone![/p][p]
Patchnotes - Weekly Update August 14th,[/p][p][/p][p]Notable Changes,[/p][p][/p]

[p]We added a new UI window called "Social" that allows you to keep track of friends and players you have muted. Friend lists are a way to conveniently track which one of your friends is online and to be able to whisper them easily. If you don't want your online status to be visible by other players in this window you can choose who can see it from the window.,[/p]
[p]We have added several new tracks of music that trigger at certain interactions in game (know as "Memory Moments"). We have also updated the logic of when music starts and stops to improve the ebb and flow of ambient sound and music tracks,
