When this option is disabled, we will try to match you with players in your assigned skill... Read more

Trait Rework: Ghoul

• Activation range Increased from 5m to 25m.

Developer note:

The reception of the new Ghoul Trait has been very positive because players can already see the benefits it gives while out of combat.
