Figured as much.
They haven't even brought the servers up yet for internal sanity checks (or if they did, it was for very brief periods. Every time I looked at the status page, it was all red).
Wonder what they broke.

Game is up.

Event Hall seems to be fixed, at least for me. There's no lag in there at all.

As you can see, I have no EXP buffs up, and I don't have any CS cards running either, so I have no idea where this "Buff Bonus EXP" is coming from, or why it's giving so much, but I guess grind/boss while you can in case it's a bug?

You also get the 90% bonus exp from arcane river mobs and 60% from gollux mobs

GG

Based on Reddit and me testing, it seems like some buffs (a lot of them, actually), are giving like +100% bonus exp each. Or at least, it's somehow based on the number of buffs you have, while some buffs count and others don't.

It doesn't matter anyway, the game disconnected everyone without even giving a warning.

Did this update change some of the orange tags that appear below the name of an item. I saw "Untradable Once Equipped" instead of the usual "Trade disabled when equipped". Any more?

Account tradeable is now "Transferable Within Account" and account tradeable once is now "Tradeable once within account"
