Dear players

This update brings a new game client with more ways to arrange your screen, including a chat column, middle side panels and remembered surroundings around the map view, as well as smoother walking. NPC Grim now sells golden pumpkins and golden skulls, Huntsman Guild hunts were rebalanced, and several items with area-limited effects can now be used outside of their areas.

The following changes were made after the server save:

Halloween Event:

• NPC Grim now sells golden pumpkins for 7500 Halloween points, and golden skulls for 15000 Halloween points or 2 golden pumpkins.
• NPC Grim now buys golden pumpkins for 1500 Halloween points instead of 2000, and golden skulls for 3000 Halloween points instead of 2000.
• NPC Grim now buys back Halloween rewards for 20% of their price, for example vampire coffin for 600 and pumpkin shovel for 400 Halloween points.
• Increased resistance to all types of damage granted by scroll of faith from 1% to 2%.
• Fixed an issue where pumpkin fiends and legendary variants could not appear after killing creatures with a Halloween appearance.

Game client changes:

• Added an option to dock the chat as a column on the left or right edge of the window instead of below the map view, so the map view can use the full height.
• Added options to show middle left and middle right panels.
• Added an option to show remembered surroundings around the map view. Instead of background, the space around the map view shows terrain and objects you have already seen, without creatures or loose items.
• Added an option to use sharp filtering for a stretched game window, which keeps its pixels even and crisp. It is enabled by default.
• Updated the default window layout for new characters and new client configs. VIP, Quest Marks, Tasks, Hunt Analyzer and Gold Pouch windows start closed, Battle and Minimap windows start in the far left panel, and chat shows four lines. Pixel-perfect scaling is now disabled by default.
• Added a Create Account button to the login screen.
• The login screen now offers to download the full minimap when it is missing.
• Walking is now smoother. Fixed an issue where releasing a held arrow key could move your character one extra tile.
• When a panel is full, windows are now closed to make room instead of being cut off.
• Windows are now placed the same way after relogging or switching characters as after starting the client.
• Windows from a panel you turn off are now moved to the right panel.
• Centering the minimap now keeps your zoom level.
• Fixed an issue where saved options were not always loaded correctly when starting the client.
• Fixed an issue where tiles were not drawn square in taller map views.
• Increased scrolling speed of the Options window.

Item changes:

• Serpent vestment's ice cage can now be used outside underwater areas, but it freezes targets only underwater.
• Tidepiercer's on kill speed bonus now also works outside underwater areas.
• Special effects of distance weapons that can be fully used only in certain areas now also work outside of those areas.
• Lesser healing runes are now counted as supplies in Hunt Analyzer.
• Fixed an issue where skybloom rose stems did not grow into skybloom roses.

Huntsman Guild changes:

• Decreased amount of kills required by titan hunt from 400 to 260, ancient watcher hunt from 160 to 136 and blazeclaw hunt from 132 to 100.
• Increased minimum level of arcanox, morthul pyre, sylthara, luminarch, khionarch, ember exarch, malformis and solar adept hunts.
• Increased minimum level of dreadblade, nivarion, fallen seravane, voidtrix, zephyx and chaos abomination hunts.
• Fixed an issue where hunt sharing invitations displayed rewards for the level of the inviting player instead of yours.

Monster changes:

• Riftwatcher in Sanctum no longer respawns on its own. It now appears after killing two nearby runeguards.
• Blazing ashbound vessel and emberbound vessel no longer have a melee attack.

Miscellaneous changes:

• Blessings window now shows you as fully blessed only when you have all available blessings.
