"Improved the generation of corrupted side areas in the Archives area."
I agree with changes like this, but c'mon, we know what this is about.

Can I push 3 to jump to tabs 3 and 30-39?

Best part about the patch. :D
Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.

So essentially a rapid fire Freezing Pulse but with Lightning Damage?
In any case I'm very interested in trying out Herald of Thunder and Tendrils. Hopefully they will pair better with my builds idea than Arc is fairing atm :\

Also, no mention of the new hideout MTXes. I really like the energy dome myself.
