Balancing
Fixes and Quality of Life
- Updated Quest Chest loot table
- Shatters chests are now stasis immune
- Larvae from the Murderous Megamoth will spawn more spread out
- Fixed Guill forgetting about Samurai when asked to pick a random class
- Orange Drakes now apply temporary stasis immunity to a zapped enemy like Orbs do
- dAdded set pieces to Wandering Turkey and Realm Event Chest to avoid spawns in closed-off areas
Misc
Chat server split - Chat is now independently processed from game servers, which should result in a lot more server stability for dungeons hosted in the Nexus, Guild Hall, Bazaars etc. For now we are reverting the chat changes, sorry for the inconvenience!- Optimized enemy spawning in the realm
