Croatoa Mission(s):

• All members of a team, not just the leader, are granted credit for completing the "Crossing Over," "A Madman's Council," and "Heart of the Hollows" story arcs, allowing them to start Katie Hannon's task force, Ernesto Hess' task force, and the Cavern of Transcendence trial respectively.

Powers & AT Changes

Sniper Rifle:

• Corrected an issue that caused Assault Rifle's Sniper Rifle to play its draw animation repeatedly upon use. Additionally, there is now no redraw between Assault Rifle powers and Munitions Mastery powers that utilize the rifle.
  This has been temporarily reverted due to an issue.

Gun Fu:

• Corrected an issue that caused Gun Fu's Pistols to skip its draw animation entirely. Additionally, there is now no redraw between Gun Fu Pistol powers and Martial Arts powers.
  Users may experience redraw issues until the above issue is corrected.

Experienced Power(s):

• The "Experienced" temp power available from both Super Packs and Paragon Rewards has had its cooldown reduced from 2 hours to 5 minutes.

Leprechaun Pet:

• The Leprechaun pet can now be summoned even if your feet aren't touching the ground.

Bug Fixes

Huge Character Hoods:

• Certain hooded huge characters now have hoods.

Penelope Yin's Friend:

• Penelope Yin's task force will now correctly appear to count toward Task Force Commander's completion; this was entirely a visual bug.

Chris Jenkins:

• Chris Jenkins has received your complaints about his billboard and has reluctantly agreed to limit his advertising to our three-dimensional realm.
