=== FEATURED ===
* Assigned the NEW new soul icons to all souls.
* The Life saga for Guardians is now available. Go story hunting!
* Have a pile of Soul changes! Your soul points probably got reset in this build.
* We playtest post-launch content on the Alpha and Delta servers from time to time. If you see new zones or instances enabled and disabled here, please note that they are not launch content.


GENERAL GAMEPLAY
* Male Dwarves no longer look so… weathered. Current male Dwarf characters will probably appear to have lost a few years off their face somewhere.
* Added a bunch of new emotes! Some hints: Tease, Bonk, Giggle, Tickle, Apologize (as you probably should after using the first four).
* Damage from tar and lava should no longer occur while Soul Walking. It resumes if you re-enter after resurrecting, or when resurrecting still in it.
* We now show up to 4 need/greed loot windows at once instead of one at a time, when multiple drops are waiting.
* Fixed more general issues with people not getting chances to roll on loot appropriately.

Only 2 banners can be summoned per player and each raid member can enjoy at most 2 banner effects at any 1 time – so stacking more than 2 banners in close proximity is not a good idea!
