=== KNOWN ISSUES ===
This may be removed in a later thread update!
*Buffing or healing friendly PvP-Flagged players in range of peacekeeping guards can cause them to aggro the buffing/healing player. This is especially noticeable on PvP servers but can occur if you have auto-flagging turned on for PvE servers. A fix is in the works.


=== FEATURED ===
* The Soul Tree screen has now become a UI window instead of fullscreen!
* A general audio volume pass has been done along with the addition of extra volume slider types.
* Twitter in Rift? You can now tweet and post screenshots from inside the game. See below under TWITTER for more details.
* Remember those Quest Hub Wardstones that were made un-attackable on PvP servers? They can now be attacked! PvE server hub Wardstones are still protected, however.
* Assigned updated soul icons to all souls.
* Have a pile of Soul changes! Your soul points probably got reset in this beta.


GENERAL GAMEPLAY
* Added a bunch of new emotes! Some hints: Tease, Bonk, Giggle, Tickle, Apologize (which you probably should after using the first four). Not all of these are hooked up to animations.
* Reduced the default size of nameplates.
* Damage from tar and lava should no longer occur while Soul Walking. It resumes if you re-enter after resurrecting, or when resurrecting still in it.
* Dead characters can no longer reveal parts of the map. You'll have to do that while alive!
* To prevent some not-so-nice effects, groups will automatically be set private if any member is inside of an instance.
* You can no longer form a raid if one of your party members is currently in a Warfront.
* Groups with members in Warfronts can no longer use the Public Group system.
* Planar currency left in the Rift Loot UI will no longer auto-convert to your currency tab on login before you can retrieve it.
* When auto-joining the next level bracket chat channel, you automatically leave the prior one.
* Fixed a crash related to trading items directly from your bank.
* If all slots are full in your equipped Planar Focus, right clicking an Essence in your bag will no longer try to auto-equip and overwrite an equipped Essence. It will still bring up the Focus window, though.


TWITTER
* Twitteriftic?
* You can now opt to set up Twitter options from within the Rift client. This is optional to use and also optional for automatic achievement tweets.
* Access Twitter options under Settings -> Interface.
* You'll need to specify account info and log in to send tweets or post screenshots.
* Additional options include hiding the UI (including character name) for screenshots, and turning on the functionality to auto-tweet Achievements. Note: if you have the UI hidden, the achievement popup will not appear in Achievement screenshots.
