It'll be automatic, you can't avoid it.
Yes, when creating a new character you will get a fresh level 30 directly, just like it has worked until now!
Interesting, didn't know about that one.
It's being updated right now. Should be live soon.
The first one means that mid mission bosses like the 4 horsemen or the named agents in general assembly will have a chance to drop a HE, instead of guaranteeing it. In other words, you'll get the best loot outcome from a mission or incursion by actually completing it, rather than farming the mid bosses.
For the second one: the end phase chests will have a chance to drop a HE, instead of guaranteeing it. The main source of loot in Underground should come from bosses and random drops, the guaranteed HE at the end makes it too rewarding compared to other activities.
Now do Yannick as Loki. You have to.
I'm not worthy
Why does everybody keep saying that!
It's actually an issue when the group drops too many items as a whole. The game starts removing the ones that are furthest away to preserve memory.
We're working on a fix for this and will try to have it deployed asap.
Until then, I'd strongly recommend picking up important loot as soon as possible and not let it linger on the floor for too long. Or at least make sure you stay closest to the important loot.
I'm awake too.
