Update: Rift 1.7 Hotfix 8.5

GENERAL

 * Characters below level 48 are no longer able to pick Ember Isle porticulums if they have them, since they're unable to travel to the Isle.
 * PvP: Gaining Prismatic Glory will no longer break stealth.
 * Scarlet Gorge: The Crucible zone event should occur more frequently.
 * Rift: Visions of Death: Addressed difficulty issues with this Rift.

WORLD EVENT

 * You can no longer sell Pyrite Dubloons to NPCs.
 * Adjusted the prize payout from Carnival games for first and repeat plays. Don't worry, jumping parties are still valid, but there ARE other games available!
 * Carnival balloons now have a more realistic and pronounced breeze-swaying motion for added cuteness!
 * Fixed an issue with the Place Your Bets gambling game so it can be re-enabled!
 * The Ring Toss game now plays the correct 'hit' audio sound.
