Some of you have been asking about next round. As you've seen, we've become a little short handed and I've been around a bit less often. It's been a busier month for me irl than I anticipated. Lucky for me, this weekend will be open and I'll finally get a much needed break. I'll try and have a warfare map vote up by the weekend, and I'll close it out right after us Americans celebrate the 4th.

Due to real world circumstances, Meepers has decided that it was his time to step aside as a member of the VH team. His past experience and presence is greatly appreciated and will be missed.

With that being said though, this means that I will be accepting applications for the now open VH position. There is a small chance that I will be looking to bring two instead of just one on to the team.

If this is something you might be interested, be sure to check the stickied thread in the Main Forum.

So, there has been an update on how Astral Bomb and Throwing Blades work in the WLs. Since it's very annoying to test these on my own, they're up on Dev so I can ask for your help.

It really just takes 2 people to test out if these work as intended, so please do if you have the time. The changes are as follows.

---

• Advancement of "Astral Bombing" daily quest requires damage to be done to at least 1 target


• Astral Bomb will not affect targets with an active Radiance or Shield
