Test Center Release 2 –  09/10/2021

TC Bug Fixes

• Resolved issue with equipping the (newly created) Gargish Candied Staff.
• All pack animals will continue to go wild based on their loyalty.
• Resolved issue with VvV mounts not properly being released.
• Pack animals and hirelings will now only stay in the offline auto stable for 24 hours after which they will be removed from the world if not retrieved. The auto stable is an offline facility where pets can be stored till their owner logs back in – it is not your stable. The offline auto stables are not a part of the transfer process unless a player unloads their pack animals in the world.
  Pack animals that are mounted are stored on your character and can not be lost.
• Resolved issue with Imp Kin not being removed properly from players.
