[2020] Game Release Notes - June 29, 2018

A fix is coming for this. We kept today's build as small as possible to prevent additional risk of potentially trying to fix a fix, and tried to focus on things that would have broad impact going into the weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience.

There were some (much needed) QoL changes and bug fixes queued up to go out for a standard patch in July that were accidentally merged into this last Episode release, all of which were untested and not yet ready for Live. As you can see, that's introduced some new issues while also resolving some others. It's a shame because I was super excited to finally address all of that player feedback.

Presently we have disabled the Xera encounter entirely since that encounter is completely unbeatable. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/45458/xera-raid-encounter-disabled

The plan now is to do the originally intended QA and bug fixing internally on all of the content that was accidentally released early, and push out a patch with a batch of fixes for the content. That does take time, and I'd prefer to do it correctly as opposed to shooting out a series of reactionary hot fixes. While I can't provide a date, I can say that it'll happen as soon as possible.

I don't have much to say beyond that other than I'm horribly sorry for the inconvenience, and I personally am nauseated by the situation that was introduced. :(
