Ascension Changelog

[Original 9 Classes] Fixed an issue where the some heals used by the 9 classes did not have the correct coefficient. (This results in a healing nerf for some abilities and a buff for others, but overall shouldn't be a net loss in healing.)

Pushed a fix that should prevent Ragefire Nova from dealing friendly fire in rare circumstances. (Pending Restart)

[Dungeon Spoils 60] Fixed an issue where Dungeon Spoils at level 60 for normal and heroic did not correctly have a tank equipment option to select.

Players will now put into PVE mode by default when creating a character and hitting 15 until they opt into Highrisk PvP or No Risk PvP

Fixed an issue where some damage calculations (mostly dots, pets, absorbs and some fringe spell cases) where over-capping your PvE or PvP power would still increase your damage for those spells.

Added a scroll bar for challenge restrictions, because trial architects keep adding 10000 restrictions to custom trials.

Improved handling for PVE mode. It should be much less likely to fall off when it shouldn't.

Added a system that will teleport hardcore players to a safe zone after a server restart or server crash to prevent uncanny deaths due to these scenarios.
