Update 2.17.0

THRONE AND LIBERTY Update 2.17.0 downtime will begin at 10:30 p.m. PT (5:30 a.m. UTC) on July 2 and last approximately 3.5 hours. Various improvements have been made to the Altar of Calanthia Raid. Find the full list of changes below.

Raid: Altar of Calanthia
  • Fixed an issue that allowed Dragaryle to be fought outside its intended area.

  • The stairs leading to Calanthia during the third stage now always regenerate after wiping or exiting and re-entering the instance.

  • Fixed an issue that blocked progression in the first stage if the Arkeum Shadowmancer was killed before the respective objective had started.

  • Using Party Matchmaking to fill an empty slot no longer resets progress in the instance.

  • Fixed an issue that caused players to be removed from the instance after another player joined via Party Matchmaking.

  • Fixed an issue that caused players to get kicked when joining while a Spectator was present.

  • Stage progress is no longer reset upon transferring servers.

  • Fixed an issue where damage from Zairos' Shield Explosion mechanic could be blocked.

  • Fixed an issue that caused a third player to be tethered during the Zairos/Vulkan chain mechanic on Difficult mode.

  • Fixed an issue that caused the arena to not reset in stage 2 if the Vanguard wipes just before Zairos and Vulkan transform into Radeth on Difficult mode. If this occurs, the fight will now automatically reset after 30 seconds.

  • Fixed 7/1: Players affected by Dragaryle’s Petrification cannot be healed after debuff expires.

  • Fixed 7/1: Resolved an issue that prevented the use of Entropy Shards locked before the 2.16.0 release. If you have shards in storage, removing them from storage will put them into your currency tab.

  • Fixed 7/1: Controller: Fixed the 'Select Role' popup issue that prevented matchmaking confirmation when role quotas weren't met.

  • Fixed 7/1: Controller: Corrected an issue that caused the D-Pad interaction to require multiple right presses to accept matchmaking invitations.

General
  • Heroic Equipment: Dissolving Trait Extracts from Heroic Equipment now properly grants 40x Precious Magic Powder instead of Entropy Shards.

  • Heroic Equipment: Weapon skills granted by Skill Cores are now shown in the Equipment Skills section of the Skills menu.

  • Traits: Fixed an issue that caused a Heroic Trait to be displayed as the result of using Trait Chance Conversion with a Normal Trait on Heroic equipment.

  • Auction House: Fixed an issue that caused various placeholder items to be shown in the Auction House.

  • Items: The Windsheer Spear Lithograph can now be sold on the Auction House again.

  • Codex: Getting knocked back by Velentra at the start of her dark/light phase no longer counts as being hit by a Fury attack for the sake of the Unhealthy Obsession Exploration Codex quest.

  • Secret Dungeon: Scorpos will now appear correctly after tunneling underground then re-emerging.

  • Mystic Portals: Fixed an issue that caused Mystic Portals to appear as Mystic Globes.

  • Swamp of Silence: Fixed an issue that prevented players from interacting with the mud piles required for completing Contracts in the Swamp of Silence.

  • Skills: Casting can now be canceled when the target moves out of range.

  • Skills: Spear: Fixed an issue that caused the Heavy Attack Chance and Back Heavy Attack Chance values to be swapped in the description of Malice Surge.

  • Arch Boss: Collision on various objects above Tevent has been adjusted to ensure they cannot be stood on.

  • Arch Boss: The correct icons are now shown after signing up for an Ascended Arch Boss event portal.

  • Localization: Korean text is no longer shown in the window displayed when a Vanguard Captain creates a Raid instance.

  • Tutorial: Progress through Wisp Island is no longer blocked after relaunching at specific points.
