NOTABLE FIXES

• All seasonal event quests will be appropriately removed outside of the event, and players who were holding summer event quests will no longer have a broken Journal screen.
• Fixed an issue in which three quest rewards characters appeared as generic NPCs instead of their unique appearances.
• Fixed an issue that prevented players from entering the Sandworm Elite Trial remotely through the map or activities UI.
• Fixed an issue that caused Cross-World Expeditions to not display on the Expedition map.
• Fixed an issue that caused Outpost Rush matches to start with only backfilled players.
• Fixed a visual issue with element positioning for Soul Trials.

ECONOMY, PROGRESSION & GEAR

• Fixed an issue that allowed players without Rise of the Angry Earth to receive unusable loot above 625 Gear Score.
• Fixed an issue that caused the Frigid Dawn armor set to not appear as a material replica recipe at the Gypsum Kiln.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Players in pre-made groups disband after abandoning or completing an Expedition.
• Role selection DOES support the Lost Stopwatch artifact to quality for Tank role, but the UI only mentions Carnelian Gems
• Role counter does not update after kicking member from group and can stall the queuing process. Work around - If any remaining player revisits the Role Select screen, the group size will update and will proceed as expected.
• Soul Trial entrances can sometimes show both lobby and matchmaking elements. No workaround needed, just click the button and proceed to the entrance screen.
• Trying to change your role while in a Cross-World match does not give a reason why it fails to update.
• When queuing for Outpost Rush or Arena, the global “Leave Queue” button is missing from the updated UI.
• Players must leave queue through the main Queue Status HUD (top right), or from the specific Outpost Rush/Arena screens.
• After playing an Outpost Rush match, the Expedition’s queue HUD can briefly show Outpost Rush match sizes before the first player accepts the invite.
