General

  • Serius and Therin are now unit objects instead of hero objects.
  • Upon completion of True Stone (Seryo), Serius’ model is updated to wield a sword.
  • Component name tooltips in the Enhance Class Regalia UI stretches to fit the item name instead presenting it fixed width tooltips.
  • The majority of the information displayed by the -check and -info chat commands has been streamlined into the -info chat command.
    • As a result, -check is no longer chat command.
  • -craftkey / -ck chat command is now documented inside F9.
  • Tripled the visible duration of custom error messages, e.g., missing forge requirements.
  • Whenever a player leaves and if another player has their -ui visible, their -ui is removed.
