== Update - Thursday 29, 2006 ==

=== Dragon Festival ===
The [[Dragon Festival]] has begun! Characters who wish to receive their [[Dragon Mask|Dragon Helm]] must collect 250 [[Jade Wind Orb]]s, which can be earned by undertaking [[quest]]s, competing in the [[Dragon Arena]], or taking part in the festival games. [[Emperor Kisu]] will honor us by appearing at the [[Shing Jea Monastery]] every 2 hours on the final day of the festival to reward those who have gathered 250 orbs. If you cannot attend the final day of the festival, take heart! The emperor has stationed an [[Imperial Supply Master Kagno|Imperial Supplymaster]] at the monastery, who will stay for a few days after the festival's end to give Dragon Helms to those who have gathered their 250 orbs.

=== Other Updates ===
* Improved the channeling abilities of the boss [[Quansong Spiritspeak]].
* Fixed a bug introduced in yesterday's update that prevented Skill and Item Unlock dialogs from appearing.

=== Heroes' Ascent Update ===
As a part of this play-balance test week, we’ve made the following changes to [[Heroes' Ascent]]:
* Removed [[Broken Tower]] from the map rotation.
* Removed [[Burial Mounds]] from the map rotation and replaced it with [[Fetid River]], a new 8v8 [[Annihilation]] map that has a [[Priest]].
* Removed [[Sacred Temples]] from the map rotation and replaced it with the [[Antechamber]], a new 8v8 [[Capture Points|Control Point]] map.
* Added [[Forgotten Shrines]], a new 8v8 Control Point map, to the map rotation after [[Unholy Temples]].
* Changed the [[The Courtyard (arena)|Courtyard's]] game type from [[Kill Count]] to [[King of the Hill]].

=== Miscellaneous ===
* To prevent exploitation of the ''[[Nightfall]]'' starter mission and quests, the gold rewards for the "[[Take the Shortcut]]," "[[Rally the Recruits]]," "[[Quiz the Recruits]]," and "[[Primary Training]]" quests have been removed, and the gold rewards for the [[Chahbek Village]] mission have been decreased to 20 gold for Standard, 30 gold for Expert, and 50 gold for Master's. The reward for the ''Nightfall'' quest "[[Secondary Training]]" has been increased to 200 gold to compensate.
* Updated the map rotation for [[Automated Tournaments]].

=== Guild Wars Wiki Notes ===
* The [[Gladiator|Gladiator Title Track]] said that you gain 1 point per win in Random and Team arenas and 5 bonus points for each 5 win streak. This was merely a text change, and was fixed in the [[Game updates/20070803|August 3rd update]].
* [[Party Search|Party Search]] text now appears at the end instead of the front like before.
* You can no longer place preorder items in storage, not even with the item swap trick that worked before. <noinclude>

== Update - Wednesday, June 15, 2005 ==
This week we made the first of several steps towards improving the process of gaining [[skill]]s and [[skill point]]s after [[ascension]]. In coming weeks, we will continue on this path, and will work to address the difficulty of unlocking items and runes for use in PvP.
*Changed the [[XP]] requirements per skill point for advanced characters. Previously, the required XP kept increasing with each successive skill point, making it very difficult to continue earning skill points after taking on a new secondary profession. Now, the required XP caps out at 20,000 per skill point.
*Doubled the XP gained from killing [[boss]] monsters.
*Introduced rare [[scroll]]s which, when used, grant the entire party double or triple XP for a limited duration. We also added [[Rare scroll trader|trader]]s for these new scrolls.
*Changed the XP reward for ascension. Previously, when a character ascended, he was automatically advanced to level 20, regardless of his current level. This meant that characters who had already advanced to level 20 prior to ascension received no reward for ascending. Now, ascension gives a fixed reward of 50,000 XP.
*Updated secondary [[profession]] quests so that when a player accepts a new secondary profession, he now gets the starter skills for that profession.
*Improved [[expert salvage kit]]s so that they always successfully salvage a [[run]]e from monster-dropped armor that contains a rune. There is still a chance of destroying a rune when using a [[salvage kit]] to try to retrieve it from your own armor.
*Added confirmation prompt when dragging an item to the ground during a trading session or just after a trading session, to prevent scammers from closing the trading window in the middle of a trade to try to trick their trading partners into dropping an item.
*New quests: "[[The Ascalon Settlement]]" in [[North Kryta Province]]; "[[The Price of Steel]]" in [[Silverwood]]; and "[[The False Gods]]" in [[Temple of the Ages]].
*Added unique artwork for the [[prestige armor|ascended version]] of the [[Monk Saintly armor|Monk's Saintly Armor]].
*Updated the descriptions for skills [[Fertile Season]], [[Balthazar's Spirit]], [[Chimera of Intensity]], [[Irresistible Blow]], [[Mind Freeze]], [[Ice Spikes]], [[Deep Freeze]], and [[Glyph of Energy]] to more accurately match the actual skill effect.
*Updated mission victory conditions in [[Thunderhead Keep]] and [[Iron Mines of Moladune]], and monster spawns in [[The Dragon's Lair]] and [[Ice Caves of Sorrow]], to allow players to capture skills from boss monsters before completing the mission.
*Updated monster and loot spawns in [[Sage Lands]], [[Watchtower Coast]], [[Frozen Forest]], [[The Scar]], [[Vulture Drifts]], [[Snake Dance]], and [[Ettin's Back]], and for quests [[Iron Horse War Machine]], [[The Monk's Path]], and [[Seeking the Seer]].
*Fixed issues with last week's update that could cause loot drops to completely stop for some players after repeated map entries, and substantially improved the loot system so that only the most extreme forms of farming will cause monsters to start to run low on loot.
*Updated boss monster spawns in various explorable areas to fix issues with boss monster distribution and balance.
*Made numerous changes to the "[[The Undead Hordes|Undead Horde]]" quest to add more to the storyline and environment of the quest.
*Changed the "[[Charr Reinforcements|Behind Enemy Lines]]" quest so that [[Aidan]] uses the correct model and players have a little more time to follow him.
*Increased the [[gold]] reward for completing the secondary mission in [[Divinity Coast]].
*Increased the [[energy]] increment on some [[Ranger Druid armor|Druid Leggings]], so that all Druid Leggings now provide 2 additional energy.
*Updated henchmen in [[Marhan's Grotto]] to use [[infused]] armor.
*Updated positions and paths for NPCs in various towns and outposts to prevent NPCs from getting stuck.
*Updated the [[Hall of Heroes]] so that the defender's [[Ghostly Hero]] starts on the altar.
*Fixed the [[Sacred Temples]] tournament map so that it is no longer possible to pass a relic through the gate.
*Fixed elemental damage in the [[Domain of Elements]] in the [[Dragon's Lair]] so that it does not damage monsters.
*Fixed [[Forgotten Cursebearer]] and [[Forgotten]] [[Necromancer]] bosses so that they use their skills properly.
*Fixed problem with quest "[[The Ambassador's Quandary]]."
*Fixed [[Oink]] in "[[Gates of Kryta]]" so that he recognizes his owner even if another player has already completed the quest.
*Made text fixes for quests "[[Tower of Courage]]," "[[The Elementalist's Path]]," and "[[Unsettling Rumors]]."
*Fixed the damage ranges on [[Raven Staff|Raven Staves]] and [[Ghostly Staff|Ghostly Staves]].
*Rebalanced [[Blessed Griffon]]s and [[Phantom]]s to better reflect their level.
*Renamed the version of Defender's Scalp Design which provides a bonus to [[Smiting Prayers|Smiting]] to Zealot's Scalp Design.
*Renamed [[Mirror Self]] to [[Doppelganger]].
*Fixed [[teleporter]] effects in the [[Crystal Desert]] [[explorable area]]s.
*Fixed various animation and scripting issues in [[cinematic]]s.
*Fixed environmental effects in [[The Crag]].
*Fixed teleporter in [[Vulture Drifts]].
*Fixed icon for [[Dwarven Ale]] so that it no longer appears as "under construction."
*Fixed various icon issues in vendor windows so that icons do not appear as "under construction."
*Fixed a bug that sometimes caused Error #95 to be displayed when trying to arrange a guild battle.
*Fixed a trade bug which prevented trade between two players when both tried to initiate trade at the same time.
*Added a cursor for item identification.
*Updated the layout of the login screen.
*Enabled clicking names in whisper text.
*Updated European and Korean translations.
*Fixed miscellaneous rare crash bugs. <noinclude>

== Update 2 - Wednesday December 20, 2006 ==
* Fixed a [[bug]] that prevented players from winning in some of the [[Heroes' Ascent]] battles.
* Fixed a bug that caused players to be kicked from the "[[Dwayna Vs Grenth|Dwayna vs. Grenth]]" Snowball Arena if they hadn't yet unlocked [[boat travel]].
* Added a [[Wintersday Priest]] to the [[outpost]] for the "Dwayna vs. Grenth" Snowball Arena. This [[NPC]] teleports players back to their most recently visited outpost or [[town]].
* Added a Search button to the [[Party Search panel|Party panel]].

== Update - Wednesday December 20, 2006 ==
===[[Wintersday 2006|Wintersday]] Festival===

:''Wintersday approaches, can you all see the signs?''
:''The grentchies and the snowmen will soon all align.''
:''For a battle in the end is what we shall face;''
:''To determine the wintery fate of the whole human race.''

:''Dwayna and Grenth will vie for our favor;''
:''Through threats and presents of a wintergreen flavor.''
:''In the end one shall win, one shall surely prevail;''
:''And the length of the winter is the final detail.''

:''So stock up on snowballs and clear all your packs;''
:''For gifts of all sorts will rain down on your backs.''
:''And if you should see a small urchin or three;''
:''Remember the spirit of the season — 'Tis better to give than receive.''

The Wintersday Festival has arrived! [[Kamadan]], [[Lion's Arch]], [[Droknar's Forge]], and [[Ascalon City (Post-Searing)|Ascalon City]] are decorated for the occasion, and over the coming days, holiday activities will begin as special guests arrive to join the fun. Everything leads up to the big Winterday {{sic}} celebration on January 1, which will take place every three hours in Lion’s Arch and Kamadan (on the hour in Lion’s Arch and 15 minutes past the hour in Kamadan). Be sure to collect [[Candy Cane Shard]]s for use in the big celebration!

===[[Party Search]]===
The new [[Party Search panel]] allows you to advertise when you’re looking for a group to join, and to search for other players and parties to join you. With the Party Search panel, you can join up with other players even when they are in a different district from you.
In any town or outpost, press ‘P’ to bring up the new Party Search panel.
If you’re the leader of your party, or if you’re not in a party (all solo players are treated as parties of one), you can use the “Seek Party” checkbox to add your group to the list of available players and parties, and to advertise what you’re looking for.
As a party leader, you can select another group and click “Join” to propose merging with that group. After clicking “Join”, you will see a question mark icon next to that group indicating that you are waiting for a response from them, and they will see an icon next to your group indicating that you have invited them.
If you receive an invitation from another group, you can select that group and click “Join” to accept the invitation, merging the two groups.
If you accept an invitation to join a group which is currently in a different district from you, your group will automatically travel to the other district. If you are alone, you will travel immediately upon clicking “Join”. If you have other people traveling with you, the game will provide a 10-second countdown and give each player the option of canceling.

===[[Reconnect After Disconnect]]===
While playing in a [[mission]], [[explorable area]], or [[PvP]] game, if your game client loses its connection to the Guild Wars game [[server]]s due to Internet connectivity issues, or if the game client or your computer crashes, you will have the opportunity to reconnect to the game servers and resume exactly where you left off, for a period of ten minutes after the disconnection.
During that ten minute period, your character will remain in the world. If your character was performing an action like attacking or spell-casting at the moment of disconnection, your character will complete the action. If your character was in a party, the other members of your party will be notified of the disconnection.
You must reconnect from the same computer that you were playing on when the connection was lost.

===New Titles===
*The new [[Commander]] title track is available to players who compete in [[Hero Battle]]s. Players receive one point toward the Commander title for each victory.
*The new [[Gamer]] title track is available to players who compete in [[Snowball Fight]]s and other holiday-themed games. During the [[Wintersday]] Festival, players who compete in Snowball Fights receive 10 points for each victory. Other holiday event games will be scored differently.

===Other Updates===
*The [[Guild Wars In-Game Store|''Guild Wars'' Official In-Game Store]] now sells the [[Guild Wars Prophecies#Guild Wars Game of the Year Edition (America/New Zealand) (box content)|2006 edition]] of ''Guild Wars'' (original ''[[Prophecies]]'' campaign), which has been available at major retailers since its release in early 2006, and is called ''Game of the Year Edition'' in America and ''One Million Edition'' in Europe. The 2006 edition contains seven [[bonus items]] that were not part of the original ''Guild Wars'' box. Players who purchased ''Guild Wars'' (original ''Prophecies'' campaign) through the in-game store since its launch there in July will receive a free upgrade, and other players who own the original ''Guild Wars'' can choose to upgrade through the in-game store for a small fee.
*Demo [[account]]s can no longer [[trade]] or [[drop]] items, to reduce the use of demo accounts by commercial gold/item farmers.
*Characters that come to [[Elona]] from a foreign land now get [[Hero]]es that start at level 15, and can play two new quests, [[Securing Champion's Dawn]] and [[A Land of Heroes]].
*Six additional [[quest]]s have been added to [[Istan]], and many existing quests have been updated.
*Additional [[treasure]] chests are available throughout the continent of [[Elona]].
*The [[Equipment template|PvP Equipment Builder]] now allows the player to specify the [[dye]] color of weapons and off-hand items.
*The [[Skill Bar]] in the [[Skills and Attributes panel]] now shows tooltips even if tooltips have been disabled for the primary Skill Bar.
*The [[Quest Log]] panel now allocates more space to the list of quests when the list grows large.
*[[Heroes' Ascent]] now requires parties with a minimum of four human players.

===Balance Changes===
*Lowered the [[attribute]] requirement on [[Shiro's Blades]] and [[Shiro's Sword]] from 15 to 13.
*Lowered the [[AL|armor]] on [[Peppermint Shield|Peppermint]] and [[Gingerbread Shield]]s from 10 to 8 to match the highest inherent armor found on random [[loot]].
*Lowered the armor on [[Hassin's Shell]] from 10 to 8, but added a Health bonus of 20.
*Improved the skill selection of [[Herta]], the Earth Henchman.
*Reduced the Health of the [[Anguished Soul|Anguished Spirit]]s present in the [[The Ebony Citadel of Mallyx|battle against Mallyx the Unyielding]].

===Bug Fixes===
*Fixed a skill exploit that allowed players to walk through closed [[gate]]s.
*Fixed a bug with [[hunt]] buffs that prevented them from giving double [[experience]].
*Fixed a bug that caused some Necromancer [[minion]]s in [[Nightfall]] to behave sluggishly.
*Fixed a bug that prevented the following bosses from dropping their [[unique item]]s: [[Acolyte of Balthazar]], [[Acolyte of Dwayna]], [[Acolyte of Grenth]], [[Acolyte of Lyssa]], and [[Acolyte of Melandru]].
*Fixed the [[Hero|Hero Control panel]] so that if you disable a skill and then move it to a different position on the skill bar, the Hero will still remember not to use that skill in its new position. <noinclude>

== Update - Wednesday July 5, 2006 ==

=== Notice from Leifei ===

Attention fellow citizens of [[Cantha]],

On behalf of [[Emperor Kisu]], I extend warm thanks to all those who fought for the empire during the past few days. Though the [[Dragon Festival]] is a time of celebration for us, this year's holiday was marred by violence spurred on by demonic outsiders. It was only through the efforts of those willing to lay their lives down for the empire that the portals that spawned these vile beasts were torn asunder.

Let these past events serve as a reminder: no matter what adversities threaten to dismantle the Dragon Empire, we shall endure.

This marks the end of this year's Dragon Festival. Go in peace and prosperity. Long live the emperor!

- [[Captain Leifei]]

=== Other Updates ===
* Added the [[Imperial Supply Master Kagno|Imperial Supply Master]] to [[Shing Jea Monastery]].
* Updated [[merchant]]s on [[Shing Jea Island]] and in [[Kaineng Center]] so that they sell [[Rice Wine]] and [[Red Bean Cake]]s. <noinclude>

* Crafted armor in ''[[Prophecies]]'' and ''[[Factions]]'' now supports insignias. The insignia bonuses replace the previous inherent armor bonuses and require several additional changes:

** All existing level 20 armor from these campaigns now have insignias in place of their inherent bonuses. Please note that the bonuses on these armor sets have not been altered. The only change is that these bonuses now come from insignias.
** All existing lower-level armor pieces from these campaigns now support insignias but have had their inherent bonuses removed.
** Numerous armor sets have been renamed to avoid redundancy with insignia names.
* Lower-level collector armor pieces from ''Prophecies'' and ''Factions'' now support insignias. Level 20 collector armor does not.

** A new "[[Monk Labyrinthine armor|Labyrinthine]]" tattoo set has been added for Monks at [[Marhan's Grotto]].
* In ''Prophecies'', [[Mesmer]], [[Monk]], [[Necromancer]], [[Ranger]], and [[Warrior]] headgear may now be crafted with a variety of attribute bonus options.
* Existing [[Lieutenant's Insignia|Lieutenant's Helms]] crafted in ''Prophecies'' now have a +1 [[Tactics]] bonus in addition to a Lieutenant's Insignia.

==== Miscellaneous Item Changes ====
* The [[Icy Dragon Sword]] is now considered a rare item. This change also means that it is now exempt from loot scaling.
* To help prevent trade scams, "[[A Heart of Ice|The Heart of Ice]]" ''Prophecies'' quest item no longer shares icon art with sapphires.

=== Elite Mission Updates ===
==== [[Urgoz's Warren]] ====
* Defeating [[Urgoz]] now spawns a [[chest]] that each player will be able to interact with individually. This chest grants each player either one inscribable rare item or one of Urgoz's unique items, as well as two chunks of [[amber]].

* Fixed an exploit where creatures successfully using suicide skills in Urgoz’s Warren still gave loot and experience.

==== [[The Deep]] ====
* Defeating [[Kanaxai]] now spawns a [[chest]] that each player will be able to interact with individually. This chest grants each player either one inscribable rare item or one of Kanaxai's unique items, as well as two chunks of [[jadeite]].
* Players who open this chest while in [[Hard Mode]] will receive two item drops and four chunks of jadeite.
* Kanaxai no longer drops his unique items himself.

==== The [[Underworld]] and [[Fissure of Woe]] ====
* [[Passage scroll]]s now have a chance of dropping from monsters slain in the Underworld and the Fissure of Woe so that players have a chance to earn free passage back to these areas.

=== [[Help Panel]] ===
Players can now access a Help panel by pressing '''F10''' on their keyboard or by typing '''/help'''. This new panel contains links to the official ''Guild Wars Wiki,''where players can both obtain and contribute information about their current quests, skills, locations, and guilds.
* The '''/help''' [[emote]] has changed to '''/helpme.''' '''/help''' is now used to open the Help panel.
* Typing''' /wiki''' into the Chat panel opens the front page of the wiki, while typing '''/wiki''' followed by a word or phrase searches the entire wiki for that content. (Please note that there is only an English language wiki available at this time.)

=== Bug Fixes ===
* Fixed a bug that caused some items to appear temporarily as white boxes in the [[Inventory]] panel.
* Fixed a bug in [[Old Ascalon]] that prevented some players from vanquishing the map while in Hard Mode.
* Fixed a line-of-sight bug that allowed a variety of exploits in the [[Dark Chambers]] Hall of Heroes map.

=== Miscellaneous ===

* [[Bow]] descriptions have been updated to include bow type.
* The Observer mode game list now remembers which categories have been collapsed. The automatic selection feature now only chooses from expanded categories.

===Guild Wars Wiki notes===

*The icon for female Warrior Tyrian Boots armor has a grey square around it
*Many armor names have changed
*The "/flex" [[emote]] for female [[mesmer]]s has been changed at some time before this update.

=== Note From Togo ===
Pahbahzhen, [[Brother Mhenlo]],

Today marks five years since you completed your studies with us and returned to your homeland in the distant northern kingdoms. You were one of the last Tyrian students I trained. Therefore I want you to be among the first [[Tyria]]ns to learn that, although [[Shing Jea Monastery]] remains closed to foreign students, our noble emperor has reopened the port at [[Kaineng Center]] to ships of every nation. Trade and travel between Tyria and [[Cantha]] are once more returning to something resembling normalcy. And it is with even greater hope that I look upon this year's crop of new students at our humble monastery. It has been some time since I have seen such a promising group of young Canthans so eager to take up the mantle of the hero.

At long last, we have forged what I believe is a permanent peace between the [[Tengu]] and the humans of Cantha. The last of the [[Tengu Wars]], which you saw for yourself when you trained here, has been over for almost a year now. [[Emperor Kisu]] has declared a day of celebration marking the one-year anniversary of the peace treaty, and I would invite you to join us if you are able (though I certainly understand if you are not, with the troubles Tyria has recently faced).

And yet, I am troubled. In my many years, I have learned to trust my instincts, and my instincts tell me that despite peace breaking out from [[Shing Jea Island]] to the Canthan mainland, my homeland stands on the verge of dark times. There is talk of a strange disease that strikes the remote settlements, and the piratical cultists of the [[Crimson Skull]] grow bolder by the day. The two warring vassal factions—the [[Kurzick]]s and [[Luxon]]s—have been brought to the negotiating table through Emperor Kisu’s efforts, but I cannot help but feel that the two sides are not sincere. The emperor is hopeful, and I serve his wishes, but each faction seems to see only the immediate threat posed by their lifelong enemies. My instincts tell me that their conflict, if it continues, only serves to aid this dark force I cannot yet name.

Be watchful, my young friend. Though you call Tyria your home, Cantha may soon need your help.

[[Master Togo]]
23 Suzhen, 1582

=== Welcome to Cantha ===
==== Travel to and from Cantha ====
In order to travel to Cantha for the first time, a [[Prophecies]] character must take the "[[Mhenlo's Request]]" quest from [[Firstwatch Sergio]] in [[Lion's Arch]]. Following the quest steps will unlock ship travel to Cantha for that character. Your account must have an active [[Guild Wars Factions]] key or Guild Wars Factions Preorder key in order to travel to Cantha.

Similarly, in order to travel to Tyria for the first time, a Factions character must take the "[[Chaos in Kryta]]" quest from [[Guardsman Chienpo]] in Kaineng Center. Following the quest steps will unlock ship travel to Tyria for that character. Your account must have an active Guild Wars Prophecies key in order to travel to Tyria.

As always, PvP-Only Characters cannot leave the [[Battle Isles]].

==== Day of the Tengu ====
Players using the Guild Wars Factions Preorder key for early access may travel to [[Shing Jea Monastery]] and talk to the [[Master of Celebrations]] to take part in a special event called the [[Day of the Tengu]]. Native Canthan characters will find their way to the monastery very quickly. Characters coming from Tyria will need to take the following steps:

* Travel to Cantha as described above.
* Travel south through the [[Marketplace]] to [[Kaineng Docks]].
* Speak to [[Firstmate Xiang]], who will transport you to [[Seitung Harbor]].
* Travel west through [[Saoshang Trail]] and [[Linnok Courtyard]] to reach Shing Jea Monastery.

=== Features ===
==== Alliances ====
[[Alliance]]s will not be available until the official launch of Guild Wars Factions on April 28th.

==== Titles ====
Players will now be able to earn [[title]]s, which can be shown to other players. Use the Titles tab in the [[Hero panel]] to select a title for display. Only titles toward which you have made any progress will appear in the list.

Titles apply to a single character or a whole account, as appropriate. A player can display only one title at a time but may earn any number of titles. Many titles have multiple levels, with each new level indicating an increasingly difficult level of achievement.

Sample Titles:

* [[Cartographer|Canthan Explorer]]. You must explore 60% of Cantha to earn the first level of this title. (Character based.)
* [[Skill Hunter]]. You must capture 90 Elite skills to earn the first level of this title. (Character based.)
* [[Gladiator]]. You must have 25 win-streaks of 10 consecutive wins in the Random Arenas maps to earn the first level title. (Account based.)
* [[Champion]]. You must win 50 high-rated GvG battles to earn the first level of title. (Account based.)

==== Guild Services ====
A [[Guild Lord]] NPC now appears in guild halls outside of combat. Guild members may talk to this NPC to hire service NPCs for the guild.

==== Guild Scrimmages ====
Guilds now have the ability to fight [[scrimmage]] battles. Scrimmage battles occur between two groups in the same guild hall and do not count toward ladder standing. To initiate a scrimmage, a group of one or more players must initiate a guild battle and choose "initiate a scrimmage match." Any other group of one or more players in that guild hall may then choose to join the scrimmage battle, which will initiate after a short countdown.

==== User Interface ====
The general appearance of the user interface has been updated to mark the arrival of Guild Wars Factions. In addition, several new features have been added:

* While zoomed-in, the world map now shows the names of all explorable areas your character has visited previously.
* In addition to showing the map name, the large text that appears when you first enter a new map now features a second line indicating the type of the map and, if applicable, which alliance owns the map.
* The [[Party window]] indicates if a member is out of compass range by dimming that character's name.
* [[Health bar]]s in the Party window and [[User_interface#Target_Display|Target Display]] can now indicate when a character is under the effects of a [[Weapon Spell]].
* The icon that appears in the Party window when a party member calls a target now shows the hotkey to select the called target. (As always, hold down CTRL when attacking or using skills to call your target.)
* New customizable targeting hotkeys have been added for Target Next Party Member, Target Previous Party Member, Target Party Members 9 –12. In smaller parties, these hotkeys will target NPCs in the Allies section of the Party Window.
* Clicking on an enemy while holding a bundle item now causes you to follow that character instead of causing an error message.
* [[Henchmen]] now sometimes chat during a mission. In outposts, players can talk to henchmen by double-clicking on them.
