This will take effect on 3/29 after maintenance.
A bug was introduced with a fix released in February. The issue introduced was that stacking damage multipliers were no longer stacking. Rolling back the fixes from February will re-introduce other bugs, so in the short term we've implemented the following workaround:
Damage multipliers will stack again, but with a maximum limit of 500% damage.
A more permanent solution will come later as development time permits. We're sorry this issue made it onto the live shards and hope this workaround is received well.
Thank you,
Istaria Development Team

There's a bug on the live shards right now. If an item with techs in a storage structure (house, etc.) is moved between two containers in that structure, the techs will be lost on the item. We have a fix ready for release on Tuesday. In the meantime, please do not move items in storage structures until the fix is applied.

Blight has been updated with our latest development client. If you patch to Blight, but play on the live shards, there will be problems with tints displaying properly. While we'd love the feedback of using the Blight client on the live shards, please also be aware of this limitation. Features:
- Added a new Hoard display to the character sheet for dragons, this will show the current hoard level of the dragon, progress to the next hoard level, and the beneficial effects of your hoard!
- Updated how the game client handles restrictions and requirements for abilities and spells to reduce bandwidth requirements with the server.
- The FPS window now fully displays the client version information without any cutoff.
- Added floating numbers for XP and coin gains!
- Added a scrollbar to the Gem menu.
- Made it possible to turn floating names off via shortcut.
- Added an option to turn off the “double click closes” feature of the inventory window.
- Added “Show Details…” option when right-clicking entries in the Wallet.
