I've recently fixed the last of the bugs we encountered with the Major Foci system, and have now turned on their automatic spawning.

For those who weren't around for the release event, Kray Ervenn is taking the cores dropped by the colossal eld on behalf of the Delve Research Society for their research into Manipulation - a new city research tree. Their research will be completed two weeks from today, after which the Manipulation tree will be released. The city who has turned in the most cores to Kray will unlock Manipulation for free at max rank.

For the next two weeks, the second contention phase will have a 100% chance of being the Gateways contention. After Manipulation is released, we'll have the second contention phase work like it's supposed to.

Additonally, during the last Major we ran, the Enorian team managed to successfully open a portal but the code glitched out and created an untrapped error, causing the Major to collapse prematurely a few seconds later. To compensate for this, I'll be setting them up soon with a one-time chance to fight an eld boss that they missed out on.

Penned by my hand on the 4th of Arios, in the year 442 MA.
