Orvet – Performance & PvP Update

Smoother play

• Map exploration now saves in the background and skips unchanged data, reducing periodic frame hitches while moving.
• Improved battle-list updates in busy areas.
• Nearby NPC models are prepared in advance to reduce stutters when approaching a new area.
• Holy Smite effects are prepared during login to reduce the first impact hitch. Login may take slightly longer on the first connection.

Combat and support

• General PvP damage reduction is now 20%, down from 40%. Attacks, spells and damage over time use the updated reduction; monster combat is unchanged.
• Existing class defenses and spell-specific rules remain in effect.
• Arcane Power can now be used from the support bar and support menu, with an optional key binding. Its combat values are unchanged.

Restart through the launcher after the update to receive the fixes.
