 * Those who managed to sneak behind enemy lines and complete the introductory artifact collections inside Meridian or Sanctum now have a special reward coming their way!
 * To make Artifact set collecting more fun for more Artifact hunters, rarity rates have been tuned to be less extreme between common and rare Artifacts. We'll be keeping an eye on this through future updates to see if the rates need another boost.
 * Artifacts for the Guardian version of the introduction quest for artifact hunting no longer have a sell value.

As a part of the Looking for Group release, there have been a number of updates to instances and item rewards – See below for details!

= LOOKING FOR GROUP =
 * You can now use the new Looking for Group tool to queue for Dungeons, Rifts, or group quests with other players on your server!
 * The Looking for Group icon has been added to the main menu tray in the lower left corner of the screen, and can also be opened with the default shortcut key 'I'.
 * Select from the group roles available to you based on the roles you currently have saved on your character.
 * Queue for specific dungeon or expert dungeon groups, or join the random dungeon queue. Once a group is formed, members will be teleported to the chosen dungeon zone.
 * Rift and quest groups formed through the Looking for Group tool are not automatically teleported.
 * Queue for group quests currently in your or your party members' quest journals from anywhere in the world and find others also looking to complete these quests!
 * Additional rewards are granted for completing a random dungeon through the Looking For Group tool - these can be gained up to seven times per week but are not restricted in number per day, so you can do as many or as few as you like each day of the week up to the weekly cap. Save them all up for one day or spread them out; your choice!
 * Additional restrictions based on gear also apply to forming groups for tier 1 and 2 Expert Dungeons through this tool.
 * Dungeon Daily quests are now part of the 'Random Dungeon' options on the LFG tool.
 * You must wait 10 minutes after your LFG tool party forms before being able to vote-kick a member.
 * Players vote-kicked from an LFG group will be prevented from being picked again for re-queues by that group for 15 minutes. Players put on ignore will not be selected for your group ever.
 * Players waiting for a group through LFG cannot be joined via public grouping or group merging while in the queue. Players in the LFG queue will drop out of it if they choose to join a public group or invite others into their group themselves.
 * If a player has to leave an LFG group mid-dungeon, the group leader will have the option to use the LFG tool to automatically search for a replacement to continue the instance.

= GENERAL INSTANCES =
 * Expert Dungeon Plaque of Achievement items have all received a power upgrade. If you already have these items, they will be boosted as well!
 * Expert Dungeon final bosses are now guaranteed to drop an Epic item. No more finishing the dungeon and getting nothing but Rare items for the whole run. Epic items still have a chance to drop from the rest of the bosses in the zone.
 * Some items have been weeded out of the Expert Dungeon drop tables that were very similar to others so you are more likely to see a wide variety of drops. Additionally, some items now drop from different bosses in order to spread out the range of drops available per fight.
 * Your instance and raid lockouts are now displayed on a new Instances tab in the Character window.

= SLIVERS =
 * As we all know, Telara’s universe is comprised of a myriad of planes and realities that all intersect with each other and with Telara at seemingly random angles and times.
 * A “Sliver” is a place where a thin slice of another reality can be seen intersecting with our Telara.
 * Some of these slivers are places where planar conflicts may have already been won or lost. Help set things right in other realities, or protect our own from their influence!
 * The Planar Goods merchants in Meridian and Sanctum now sell the ascended power to view slivers - Omen Sight for Guardians and Quantum Sight for Defiants.
 * These new abilities allow you to see things others might not be able to see, and potentially lead to the discovery of the entrance to Gilded Prophecy, a raid instance intended for 10 players.

= WARDROBE SLOTS =

 * All characters have access to the first wardrobe set (all armor slots) at level 1.

 * Additional clothing items will be available in the future, including from new Clothier vendors in Sanctum and Meridian.
 * A wardrobe set's icon can be dragged onto ability bars to create a shortcut for quickly changing your character's outfit (similar to Role icons on ability bars).

 * These Rifts drop raw materials, Augments, and other goodies for crafters.
 * Reaching the final stages gives a chance of obtaining an additional plaque!
 * Crafting Rift lures open a Rift of appropriate level for the zone. In addition, materials awarded are also based on the zone level where the Rift is opened.
 * All levels of crafting Rifts give a chance for an additional plaque from the bonus stages, even below your character level.
 * Bring your friends and spread the wealth!

 * Diminishing Returns changes:
 * Abilities are now consolidated into two groups for diminishing returns.
 * In PvP, being hit with a crowd control effect starts a 24 second diminishing returns timer. If you are hit with a second effect from the same group (Movement or Control) during that time, the effect is reduced by 50%. You are then immune to additional effects from the same group until the initial timer has expired.
 * Crowd control-breaking effects have also been updated with the new Diminishing Returns groups:
 * Breaks all effects:
 * Breaks Control effects:
 * Breaks Movement effects:
 * Damage Reduction updates:

 * The following abilities no longer stack with other powerful short-duration damage reduction buffs:

 * Falling damage no longer triggers abilities and other effects that react to damage taken.
 * Fixed an issue causing ability effect tooltips on others to often show incorrect values.
 * Queued abilities will now be cleared when casting another ability, even if you cast one off of global cooldown. This will stop queued damaging abilities from doing things like breaking stealth if Slip Away is used in combat.
 * Channeled abilities will no longer interrupt themselves, or be interrupted by attempts to use another ability that fail. If queuing is enabled, they will be queued for next cast. Otherwise, the second use while the channel is under way will be ignored. This is a server-side queue and not impacted by client lag.
 * Visual effects that appear on the ground from using abilities [ex: Marksman's Pedestal] will no longer disappear when the caster is polymorphed.

VOID KNIGHT

 * Pacts: Changed the way Pacts are spent. Abilities no longer consume all Pacts on the caster - they consume a set amount and their effects are modified by those Pacts consumed. This should allow Void Knights to strategize the use of Pacts while also keeping some in reserve when using abilities.
 * Fusion of Flesh: Revised - now protects the Void Knight for 20% of their maximum health for each Pact consumed by the next 5 non-Physical hits over 30 seconds. Each non-Physical hit heals the Void Knight for 20% of their maximum health. Consumes up to 5 Pacts.

The first damage effect will occur regardless of how many Pacts are spent and is unchanged, while the second will scale based on how many Pacts were spent.

 * Call to Regroup: Now also places a buff on the Warlord, Regroup Caller, which increases the threat they generate. This buff stacks with Call to Regroup and other raid-wide buffs.

 * For each production skill, one Master workorder has been bumped up to 250 minimum skill instead of 230.
 * Armorsmithing Workorders that duplicated the required items from other workorders of the same rank have been updated - in most cases this means a Sabaton Workorder now asks for Boots instead.
