GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
The Map screen has been updated:
- Players who own Skies of Azoria can tab between the main Azoria map and one showing the new Skyvale region. A brief popup will explain this when you first access the map with the new content installed.
- Both the player and the currently tracked item are now more prominently highlighted.
- A button prompt has been added to “quick-untrack” the currently tracked item.
- Wayshrines now share the same view as the main map, so you can see quest and character locations without having to jump between different screens.
- The confirmation popup when using a wayshrine has been replaced with a hold confirmation.
The Quest Log screen has been updated:
- Players who own Skies of Azoria will see a new section of the Main Quest tab specifically for quests in this new content.
- Players with no active base game main quests (for example, if you’ve completed Chapter 8) and who own Skies of Azoria will have that new quest line pinned automatically after starting it.
- Manually selecting to pin a Skies of Azoria quest at any time will auto-pin following quests in that chain. You can switch back to having the base game quest line pinned in the Quest Log.
- Limited time quests (such as friend, romance, or festival quests) now have more prominent indicators in the Quest Log.
- Shop purchase "recipes" can now also be pinned to the quest log, like crafting ones can be.
- A new volume slider has been added in Settings > Audio to control the volume of character vocalizations separately from other sound effects (NPCs as well as the player's character). Let your giggle-only playthroughs commence.
