Hi all -

Team is working on addressing the slew of items still with Mendeln. They met this morning and it seems like a smaller scope of fixes were hit but not all of them as detailed out through a bunch of investigation from the community.

We are looking at the rest and based off initial takes, it may be something we can do via hotfix. We will know more once the team dives into it some more. This means we can probably get the fixes out a bit sooner unless we find something that will require a client patch.

Separately, some of these are tied to some tooltip errors which will be addressed in 2.1.3 as tooltips typically require a client patch but we believe after the changes, the actual engine and underpinnings will be working. We will be thorough with the tooltip items to help clarify whether this lands in a hotfix or emergency client patch.

The descriptions require a client patch. We are trying to address them quickly thus we are wanting to do a hotfix and will hit the tooltip inconsistencies on the next scheduled client patch which takes longer to get through due to certification etc.

Just an update for everyone:
We are looking at deploying a hotfix for this possibly later today or tomorrow morning. We will provide thorough notes on the things that were hit or what will come in a resulting fix in the next update. A few stragglers will require a client hotfix.
