[Pending Restart] - Taunts on Original 9 Classes can no longer miss. (This is due to a change where we had increased the hit chance requirement from taunts from 8 to 14% with the hybrid update but also made taunts unable to miss).

[Pending Restart] - Reworked the item level algorhythm for deciding what loot you should get from your Callboard Cache and Legion Invasions. If you were too high of an item level and were placed into the next tier for loot, your box would not grant loot, this issue has been fixed.
