Beta 2a (Rift)  

Hi guys and gals,

Based on your comments and our watching the game today, we have a few improvements to make for the rest of the weekend:

UPDATE: 6:45PM PST

• Plugged a leak causing a performance degradation (and lowered frames per second) over time.
• You should no longer fall through the world in the guardian starting area when changing quality settings.
• Fixed a crash issue with the FR/DE profanity filters.
• Invasions will now vary in strength more widely.
• Corrected localization text of Low Quality Renderer for FR/DE to reduce confusion over what this option does.
• On certain EU servers, people would be unable to connect while loading to 99%. This has been fixed.

Fixed a number of quest and event blockers. Thanks for reporting all of these!

MATHOSIA

• Ethec has been told to start spawning again.
• Ending rift event has been made more reliable.

SILVERWOOD

• Out of the Hands of Evil: Decreased the use and reset time of the shrines.
• Fire Upon the Water: Added more catapults and tweaked the quest objective to hold up better under load.
• Reduced respawn time on Vespid Hives.
• Shrines of Tavril: Reduced reset time of shrines.
• Immolation Avenged: Fixed spawn-despawn issue with the boss NPC.
