Recently we have sometimes had issues trying to contact people back due to outdated/missing Contact Info setting in-game. Please make sure to keep your contact info up-to-date so that we can get back to you or ask questions about feedback to better understand issues being reported. You can access the Contact Info setting with the /contactinfo command. Make sure your Discord username matches what you see at the bottom left of your Discord screen, and you can left-click your username to copy it and easily paste it into the game. Thanks!

  - A new option has been added to the Settings window, Other tab, "Show Target Previews" which will be disabled by default, when enabled will show object preview when unpacking deeds on a house plot
  - As a workaround for the known issue "Item Stuck To Cursor After Unpacking House Deeds," we've made the preview disabled by default, but if you wish to still use it you can re-enable it in the settings as described above
  

• An issue with mob AI causing mobs to sometimes freeze indefinitely after spawning should now be resolved

• An issue with Discordance being prevented from applying to some mobs erroneously has been resolved
  - Bard effect break range has been increased moderately to extend the distance allowed from mobs before the effects will break
  - An issue with monsters attacking the bard after being provoked should be completely resolved now, once monsters have been provoked they should no longer attack the bard at all, unless the effect breaks, let us know if this continues to be an issue
  - Patch Note Correction: The prior patch notes state that Provo/Peace will fall off if the bard dies, that was a typo and monsters should remain peaced/provo'd even if the bard dies, as long as they stay within range.
  - Clarification: Discordance does not have range check or hiding check, it only falls off after the timer ends.

With the US presidential election underway, we would like to ask everyone to please refrain from discussing politics in LOU channels. We already deal with such serious issues in our everyday lives so let's keep it out of LOU and keep our community neutral. Thank you!

• An issue with "Freeze Title" not working in the Titles window, which was causing titles to change frequently while gaining skills, has been resolved

https://legendsofultima.gamepedia.com/Patch_10/27/2020

Bard abilities have had an optimization pass:
- An issue causing monsters that have been provoked to continue attacking the bard instead has been resolved, mostly
- You can now Provoke beings against players or pets although it may be a criminal action
- You can now directly pacify players and pets with Peacemaking although it may be a criminal action
- Pacifying a player will simply remove them from war-mode state; pacified pets will be treated similarly to monsters causing them to freeze for a short time
- You can now perform an Area Peacemaking by activating the skill and targeting yourself to pacify to all nearby enemies (skips targets that would cause a criminal action)
- Peacemaking and Provocation effects will now break on mobs if the bard dies, goes out of range or becomes hidden (see next line) or unavailable
- Bards with 75 points or more of Hiding will be able to hide without breaking the effects
- Monsters that have been influenced by a bard's song will be more inclined to aggro against the bard when the effect(s) break
- Equippable instruments will no longer default to Equip when double-clicking it in some cases
- Equippable instruments now act as a weapon using Wrestling skill
- Instruments context option "Play" replaced with "Use" to play the instrument to practice Musicianship skill
- Bard/instrument cooldowns will now appear as an icon at the top to help indicate when you can play another song

Mobile collision/shoving:
- Walking directly over/through a mob will cause a moment of movement slowness for 'shoving' them out of the way
- Mobs that have been shoved will play an animation to indicate that they have been shoved, but otherwise are unaffected
- When walking through an invisible player/pet will alert you to shoving "something invisible"
- Icon appears at top after you shove someone to indicate movement slowness

• An issue with not being able to mill some items has been resolved
