Primarily pushing this to fix some navmesh issues causing server crashes when players kite mobs over 13 specific spots on the world that had an issue with the generation. Few other fixes as well though so worth some notes on it.

Fixed issue causing realm crash on mobs pathing over 13 bad navmesh tiles.

Holy Shock had an issue where it's SP scaling was dependent on your equiped weapon speed, should be fixed now.
Blood Fury and Devilsaur Eye now stack.
There was an issue affecting some items like cloudkeeper legplates and blackroot brew that had AP from items canceling out some buffs, fixed now.
Hunter's Serpent Sting and their pet's Poison Spit no longer override each other.
Clicking a BG that is closed no longer DCs you.
Dark portal transfers now properly leave your guild.

Thank you very much for fixing the holy shock bug, I could never guess the root cause of it, but I'm glad you guys were able to fix a bug Turtle team didn't, or couldn't.

What happens when a fellowship that had completed the Together Forever challenge transfer @lvl60 to the same non-HC realm (maybe at different times)?

For more details on the recent server crashes and the issues that caused them, we had regenerated the navmesh that is used by the mobs on the server to navigate to fix a myriad of pathing issues recently. As part of that re-generation, 13 of the 15.1 million points that we generated were malformed/corrupted from our generator. Whenever a mob pathed over one of those 13 points, the server would crash.

We have updated our system to no longer crash on these malformed navmesh nodes and just revert to a less accurate pathing algorithms when pathing tries to traverse one of those nodes. We will also be repairing those nodes in the near future as well.

Currently the ring's functionality does not survive realm transfers. We will add functionality to allow for level 60's that have the ring to transfer with it and if multiple members transfer the summon still works. Thank you for pointing this out!

Allowing for sub 60's to transfer with the ring would cause issues around how we limit EXP with the challenge and likely will not be something we add support for.

Any updates on retroactively giving the Draenei Exiles reputation to those who completed quests for the faction before Moonwhisper was released?

Understandably reasonable. Thank you!

Thank you for the reminder, should be resolved now for almost everyone on production no restart needed

247 of 253 characters have had their reputation granted retroactively, the remaining 6 are still online and should receive it once they log off.

Is there any chance the effects of the Breastplate of Beast Mastery (https://octowow.st/db/?item=60784#dropped-by) and the Unseen Path set bonuses from AQ20 (https://octowow.st/db/?search=unseen+path#items) were changed to not require line of sight? These flood the screen with LoS errors any time you don't have LoS with your pet, including when something like a chair or an invisible wall is between you and your pet. Effects like the Beastmaster set items, the Ancient Cornerstone Grimoire or the T1, 2 and 3 bonuses already do not require LoS so there's precedent to that. The warlock AQ20 bonus also seems to work regardless of LoS: https://octowow.st/db/?spell=26118

On another note, the item to summon the Dark Reaver world boss (https://xian55.github.io/tortoise-db-viewer/?item=42166) is not in the loot table of Lord Blackwald II as of now.
