This patch makes some adjustments to features introduced with the Horizons update, along with combat balancing and some other important changes and fixes.

• There is now a new Boss Lair for each faction (Undead, Heretic, Morgana)
• The +200% loot bonus for Boss Lairs has been removed, but now there are 3 chests instead of 1
• Each Boss Lair now contains only the boss, and no other mobs
• Their entrances in the open world have been modified slightly

• Once a banner has been dropped and channeled, the time until it is destroyed has been reduced from 5 minutes to 3 minutes
• Raid Banners can no longer be used to raid a territory if an older Raid Banner is already active there, or if two banners are spawned simultaneously
  • In order to raid a territory with your own banner, older Raid Banners must first be destroyed
  • Raid Banners that need to be destroyed first are visually distinguished on the minimap
  • If two Raid Banners are raised within 30 seconds of each other, one must be destroyed before the other can be used to raid
  • Raid Banners that are raised later on in the battle cannot be used to prevent raiding

• Spells and combat behavior have been updated for a number of mobs
• Out-of-combat status in PvE now begins when the mob is killed, rather than when its corpse disappears

• As a followup to our Solo Dynamic Encampment loot increases in Patch 1, Group Dynamic Encampments now award less Fame and Objective progress to players if they are solo or in very small groups
  • Our intent with this, along with the changes in Patch 1, is to create rewarding gameplay loops both for solo players in Solo Encampments, and for group players in Group Encampments
