• An issue causing a desync between the player location and the location of a Commerce Transportation mount (including airships), that would cause the player to be unable to board correctly, has been fixed.

• Occasionally players would become stuck and be unable to move during Airship Commerce, this has been fixed.

• Issues with using Flashing Steel on Airships have also been addressed.

• The ability to target the Red Dragon and Wyverns during Airship Commerce has been improved, increasing the ability to fend off these pests mystical creatures.

• Fixed an issue where longer Hotkey names were slightly cut off in the Options -> Hotkeys menu.

Bugs fixed during the August 6th Maintenance

Bugs fixed during the July 23rd Maintenance
