• Fixed issue with animation speed setting not applying.
• Fixed rare start-up issues.

Changes:

• Tweaked reputations in Teron.
• Tweaked Praetor’s monetary rewards.
• Thieves in TG2 have more arrows.
• CS partial failure with mine guard lowers his HP by 20 (was 10).
• All players start with some basic crafting schematics.

Combat Balance:

• Bash has better chance to knock down.

The developers have also confirmed that they’re looking into some mandatory fights that were too difficult for certain characters (the example given is the mine fight for the Praetor storyline) and that they will provide options to make them easier.
