Diplomacy

All newbie races for Diplomacy are available except High Elf. Attempt no landings there.
Civic Diplomacy is functional in Bordinar’s Cleft, Lomshir, and Konarthi Point. Loot, dialogues, and balance are not at their intended state, but testing is needed on the levers themselves.
Several new Diplomacy quests have been activated throughout Telon.
Numerous bug fixes in the Kojani Human, Orc, Goblin, Varanjar, Varanthari, Lesser Giant, and Dragon newbie lines. One of the previous races is a lie.
Deck tweaks in several newbie lines.
Trainers should now actually make an attempt to beat you at parley during the Repeal and Rebuttal training quests.

World Population

Vulmane Diplomacy: The new training line for vulmane diplomacy is now up in Dahknarg. Seek out Swiftfang Torsh near Silvermane Hall to begin your journey on the road to saving Dahknarg!
Tharridon the Mighty should no longer aggro helpless players from great distances so players have a chance to react before they’re squashed into oblivion.
Marsh of Peril Armor Quest: The ‘Vurm’ tome should now be attainable.

Gui

Removed the Change Server button until it can be made functional.
Cleaned up the death release popup.
Ability examine popups now display the target type of the ability. (e.g. Self, Group, etc.)
Weaknesses in ability examine popups will now display the appropriate weakness icon. CODING
Fixed an assembly bug in which if you had two items of the same name, one of which met a requirement and one which didn't, it would sometimes pick the wrong one and then fail to assemble.
