Misc Galore & Yama Tweaks

PSA: We've deployed a hotfix for a bug where Emberlight/Arclight Special Attacks were reducing Yama's Strength but not his Defence. Also, Emberlight's Stat Reduction now reduces Yama's Attack/Strength to 200 outside of Contracts. These values can be further lowered by other weapons.

Known Issues	Status
We are aware of a bug where the Crafting side panel is currently displaying Thieving options instead of the correct crafting interface.	To be coldfixed

This weeks tweaks include Yama changes and bug-squashing!

Changelog June 11th

Yama Tweaks

Weve made a few little adjustments to Yama this week!

GIM and Pet

First up: great news for our Group Ironman players! The boosted pet drop rate for Yama now applies to both players if you're in the same group. No more watching your teammate get all the perks while you get moral support and a few bones. Group content is meant to be tackled as a group, after all!

Cheesy Emberlight?

Some of you clever clogs discovered that Emberlights special attack could be used to repeatedly drain Yamas offensive stats - basically turning him into a mildly annoyed training dummy. While we admire the creativity, that strategy pretty much deleted the intended challenge, so weve had to fix it.

Emberlight's special will no longer reduce Yamas offensive stats, meaning you'll have to actually engage with the fight instead of putting the boss in time-out. We know this is a pretty firm change, but we wanted to get a robust fix out first - we're open to exploring slightly less harsh alternatives in the future, if it makes sense to do so. Let us know what you think!

The Bolt Ban

Finally, a quick note for those working on the Glyphic Attenuation contract. Its supposed to be a melee-only challenge - a test of your ability to get up close and personal. However, special effects from Ruby and Diamond Enchanted Bolts were giving players an unintended edge. We've now disabled those effects during this contract.

We know this one might sting for anyone whos been leaning on that strategy to get through. If you've already completed it that way, fair play - you got in before the fix. However, going forward, its all about melee!
