Living heroes, chat quotes and Halvard’s shop

• Living heroes (since the evening of November 11): at hero creation, in the Hall of Heroes and in the hero window your hero is alive — breathing, moving and shown in full. Free for everyone. Prefer still ones — “Static portraits” in the graphics settings. • Reply with a quote in chat: “↩ Reply” in the name menu and in the reactions bar (right click on PC, long press on a phone) in every feed: world, trade, guild, party, whispers. Above the reply there is a line “↩ Name: start of the message”, and the author gets a notification, just like with “@”. • Regalia Forge: a new “Gems & sockets” tab — spend Forge Shards at Halvard’s on gems straight into a socket, a third socket, a meta socket for a Tier 1 helm and honing materials. Prices and weekly limits are shown on each item. Materials bought for shards and scrolls made from them are personal. • Group calls in chat: “+5 min” — when 2 minutes are left, the leader can extend the call by 5 minutes, up to twice. • Path of the Hall quests: the free swap of a weekly quest no longer “eats” it — if there is nothing to swap it for, the quest stays and the swap is not spent. • Shadow in a gear set: in the Free Blade Charter choose what your Shadow wears — what you have on, or a saved gear set. Logged out in PvP gear — your Shadow still goes on runs in its own set. • Shadows in group calls: a Shadow booked in the call is hired once — no double payment; if the group has already hired it or its owner joins live, the booking is removed by itself. If it does not join, the leader sees a line with the reason — a resident takes the slot and no gold is charged. • Joining as a group: if the run does not start, everyone sees the reason in the “Ready” window, and nobody goes on the run alone. • Rewards for world battles and quest turn-ins: if a turn-in fails, the quest items stay in your bag and you can turn it in again; if the connection drops, the reward arrives as soon as it is back. • Shadows and live heroes: you can hire the Shadow of your second hero or of a hero on the same device, but not hire them live. One hero is in a party either live or as a Shadow. The party, the battle and “Battle results” show the tags “Hired · Shadow” and “Hired · Live”. • Full screen on a phone: if the “Back” gesture exits it, the game no longer goes full screen again on any touch — a “Restore full screen” button appears in the corner instead. • Battle: a hero’s shield no longer shifts the portrait and the Health bar. • Mail: auction letters are signed “Auction · Purchase” without the repeat. “Match-3”: a rare find from a thorium vein is shown as a line in the round results. Recipe book: relics say “Relic”, not “Ranged”.
