    • Decreased Vy Interceptor’s teleport frequency and range.

    • Developers’ note: We are fixing an issue with the difficulty of Mythic Dungeons (Mythic 0) not being increased by the intended amount with the start of Season 3, which has caused an unintended difficulty gap between Mythic 0 and Mythic +2. After the change goes live momentarily, it should help make advancing from Mythic 0 dungeons into attempting Keystones feel smoother and less of a big jump in difficulty.

• Fixed an issue that prevented the catapult from firing in some situations in “The Splintered Fleet” scenario.
• Fixed an issue where Jarl Velbrand’s level was too high for the quest “To Tame the Drekirjar.”
• Homing Robot OOX-09/HL will no longer get lost when trying to cross the water during the quest “Rescue OOX-09/HL!”
