[*]Made improvements to where loot is dropped from enemies and chests.

[*]Made adjustments to the Hashara Princess's behavior to reduce the chances that she jumps off of the boss arena. [*]Added ground indicators on players when the Hashara Elite is about to execute an aerial attack on them [*]Normalized damage and charge duration across all fighting styles for charge attacks so that charge attacks feel consistently powerful and effects that proc from charge attacks aren't more or less powerful for different fighting styles. [*]Added new VFX and SFX for charge attacks. [*]Improved players' hit reaction when being hit while blocking to give more feedback. [*]Added the ability to instantly turn toward the direction of input at the beginning of a dodge attack allowing actions like quickly dodging forward and attacking backward.

[*]Added option to inverse the camera pitch controls. [*]Increased the size of the text for the large option and expanded the UI elements further to accommodate the change. [*]Added a time played to the save file to help tell which save is which. ([i] Old saves will start at 0:00 but any new time played will add to it[/i]). [/list] [h3][b]Bug Fixes[/b][/h3] [list] [*]Fixed various crash bugs and crash on exit bugs. [*]Fixed bug causing Battletrance effect to proc even when an attack is blocked. [*]Fixed bug causing VFX for frost block to remain on screen if your block was consumed by the Ferrum Sentinels Silence AOE. [*]Fixed bug causing heal to occur when exiting a menu if it was bound to the same key as the back button. [*]Fixed various environment traps and hazards that were dealing damage without making any sounds. [*]Fixed soft-lock that could occur at the Tupi's Grotto docks if the game closed mid-dialogue after defeating Ubaani. [*]Fixed a bug that would crash the game if the character was still spinning in the character creator when the game was launched.
