[Misc. Improvements & Bug Fixes]

Improvements

• Abyss boss and Artifact stats and PvP contribution values have been significantly increased. These values may be adjusted further to allow PvP to earn higher contribution scores.

• Exception handling for mid-session exit/teleport during Expedition/Transcendence/Sanctum content: Exception conditions have been applied to address situations where dungeon progression and exit were impossible when intruding during the final boss fight. You can now leave the dungeon when the final boss is in combat, your position is outside the final boss zone, and you have no contribution.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the grade of 'Chaos Conqueror (Skin: Headpiece) (Bound)', awarded to Generals and Marshals as a previous season Abyss Rank Reward, was incorrectly set to Common Grade.
• Fixed an issue where clearing 'Corrupted Deus Research Base' and 'Noiran's Hidden Legacy' in Growth Support did not increment the Expedition/Transcendence dungeon clear mission count.
• Relaxed the criteria for kicking players due to inactivity in the Battlefield.
• Fixed an issue where matchmaking would intermittently fail when re-queueing after completing a Battlefield with a cross-server party.
• Adjusted the fall death detection height in the Expedition 'Cradle of Nihility' boss area to be higher than before.

• Fixed an issue where falling to death could occur in the Biograft Laboratory where Frenzied Chlominster is located in Transcendence 'Noiran's Hidden Legacy'.
• Fixed an issue where using 'Gust Strike' during Brawler's Rampage state would target Turgen's Sword and Robstino's Flower.
• Fixed an issue in Expedition 'Citadel of the Fallen Daeva' where the 'Judgment Explosion' pattern of boss 'Basilus' would not proceed normally if the watch target moved more than 50m away.
• Fixed an issue in Expedition 'Corrupted Deus Research Base' where the Electrocution debuff would still be applied when blocking boss 'Zylus's' certain attack with 'Focused Block' or 'Evasion Stance'.

• Fixed an issue in Expedition 'Corrupted Deus Research Base' where rooted players would take damage and be pushed back by boss 'Atiel's' rush attack.
