Greetings Exiles!
Today we bring to you patch 2.4.4, which will lead to the full launch of Isle of Siptah on the 27th! In it, we’re including a thorough beauty pass for the Isle, in particular for the new areas introduced in 2.4 to have them all shiny and ready, along with performance and thrall fixes.
We appreciate your continued support along the way, and see you on the 27th as we ship Isle of Siptah out of Early Access!
Stay safe!
