Deployment 8.4 has gone live - here are the most recent patch notes for 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 - including the “Cellar"-PvP arena, Prestige and a lot more.

Welcome to Deployment 8!  If you haven’t heard by now we are going to drop the 1.X.x build terminology and use the new name: “Deployment”. 

For this Deployment, the Orion database will be copied to the Public Test Server.

**Please note that the aggro changes in 1.7.7 are not in this build, but will be added in a later version of Deployment 8**

• Made adjustments to AI Aggro to make NPC aggro more logical. NPCs will still ‘bring a friend’ if you happen to attack one of their buddies standing next to them, but not if their buddy is in a completely different location.

• Corrected a bug that allowed Control Point vendors to take tokens from multiple stacks when you purchased an item.
• Fixed an issue that caused certain healing discs not to work properly.
