• You can now promote someone else to leader while in a dungeon. Previously... there were reasons for this.

• The group leader can now disband the party during combat and a new party leader will be automatically elected.

• Rupture (WAR) threat has been boosted. In particular its bleed effect pulls much more threat, now. Its damage bonus was also boosted from 5 to 15% damage.
• Shockwave (WAR) damage has been increased.
• Primal Stomp (WAR) had its threat and damage increased.
• Furious Cleave (WAR) had its crit chance boosted.
• Affliction (SHM) is now a cone-3 spell, but its cost was increased and its damage was reduced slightly.
• Fixed a bug where combat music would not play in some cases where mobs are close to the door.
• Single-player item drop rates and magic find rates have been boosted to compensate for the fact that you cannot group or trade with other players. Althought online multiplayer is the focus of NGO, this may make single-player more enticing for some players.
• Updated a few places in the UI that were not proplerly translated such as display size change confirmation, party/trade invite buttons, and the trade window buttons.
• Circle of Prayer no longer cancels when your mob target dies.
• Fixed a bug that caused skills to do zero damage after changing your language without resetting.
• Japanese localization was improved.

• Sharded town channels now flow correctly from 1 to 20.
• Fixed it so single player doesn't show shards. It worked fine to enter the game, but it has nothing to do with online sharding.

Shard select is a temporary measure to deal with server load. Observing and iterating to improve your dungeon crawl experience! I am aware the guild chat is also sharded, but that is only temporary. I will fix that now.

• You may now select your shard. Guild chat is still sharded, but I will fix this. It won't take long!

• Fixed a visual glitch when returning from a dungeon. The town was not properly shown. This was not network related. This was a visual bug.
