Soccer Event
Since there is the Fifa World Cup starting this month we will also bring back the Stormball to Dracania.
During the Stormball event you will encounter the Stormball Troll in all dungeons with additional difficulties (not parallel worlds).
This troll can drop one of 32 different soccer jersey costumes or one of 64 flag emotes.
We have also added all the new items to the collector’s bag and you can get some special rewards by completing your collection.

Improvements
Currency Bag / Currency Display
We had some players that have reached a maximum of 214748 Gold already so we decided to increase this limit from 214748 Gold to 922337203685 Gold, beside that we have also changed the way how large numbers in the currency bag are displayed. When a number gets too big to be displayed it will be shortened by showing it with a "K".

Combat Text
We have improved the combat text system a bit - the system now accumulates all healing and resource regeneration numbers so that you should not have several healing/regeneration numbers overlapping at the same time.


Bug fixes
Monster
Since the introduction of the monster rebalancing with release 209 the permanent regeneration of Gorga was way too strong. We have reduced it drastically.
We fixed an issue with the Protector of Death inside the Cradle of Death causing a crash when the player got hit by his Sword Meteor.

Text/Tooltip
There was some text missing for the Upgraded Sphere Effect. This is now fixed.
We fixed the format of Bloody Wild Swings bleed damage shown in the skill tooltip.
The tooltip of the Frozen Sphere skill stated that the explosion deals "up to x% damage". We fixed this information now and removed the "up to" from the text as the explosion deals always shown damage.

Skills
We reduced the maximum distance of the Frozen Sphere skill in order to make sure that players can’t attack other players in PVP which are off screen.
There were some issues with the Burn debuff of the Pyro Missile talent for the Quick Shot skill - they are fixed now and the Burn debuff should work correctly.
There was an issue that the Stampede group aura of the Ranger was capped at 15% - this is fixed now and the player can get the full 21%.

Items
Dragan's Grim Signet Ring - We fixed the issue that the buff icon of the appeared Black Knight lasted longer than 10 seconds.
There was an issue with the displayed amount of received items when completing a daily challenge. This is fixed now.


Known Issues
Sigrismarr's Eternal Scorn (Spellweaver)

The set bonus is not working correctly since release 209. It stated that each Ice Missile should deal 30% damage but the damage is higher due to the base skill damage increase we implemented with release 209 and release 210. We are aware of this issue and it will be fixed with release 211.

Herald’s Infernal Wrath
As you might have noticed, we added a sentence to the set bonus of the Infernal Wrath item set stating "This buff expires when the hit enemy dies". This is a mistake - we haven't changed how the item set is working and we also don't have the intention to change how the buff is working. So it will not expire if the hit enemy dies! We will remove this false information with one of the next releases.​
