| |
| − | * A long-standing bug with passive effects falling off has finally been squashed! You will no longer forget you have Muscle Mass for a few brief moments, etc.

| |
| − | * Resist amount is now displayed during combat for each hit.

| − | *[Public] Nuku softly churrls, "Water penalties suck like the old days." Should be Charge, Recharge and energy drain if you don't measure up.

| |
| − | * Hot and cold environments added to the game! Heat causes a small energy DOT and negative EnergyBreak. Cold causes a small energy DOT and negative Recharge.

| − | == November == | |
| − | | |
| − | '''28th'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Common salvage rolls made cumulative: when you fail a check, the next one adds that percentage. When you succeed (inevitable, given it will reach 100% over time) the chance returns to its base value. Currently does not affect the uncommon check from instances.

| |
