This patch is part b of live update 17. You can view part a of live update 17 here.
*** Commands, Controls, and User Interface ***
Asking a guard to help you find an NPC will now allow you to search according to purpose tag. For example, you can search by "mender" to find a mender.
The /emote command should now correctly show your character's name.
Hotbar icon size is now set with a slider.
Charms, expendable items, and some pieces of equipment with clickable effects will now show reuse timers and distance tinting like spells do. This can be toggled on or off in the Options menu under User Interface --> Inventory --> Show recast timer for items.
Characters created with SOGA models switched on can now correctly change their appearance. Appearance changes had been saved but were not being displayed, so after the update your SOGA character will appear with whatever changes you most recently made.
The Factions tab on the Persona window now displays the current faction value and shows progress within the current degree of faction.
There is a new command called /showhelm that will allow you to toggle showing a helmet or mask when lowering a robe hood via the /showhood command. This command is temporary until we integrate the two commands together into a single option.
