I don't blame them from trying to distance themselves from Columbus Nova, but seriously why did it take them this long to start scrubbing that off all their legal bullshit lol

I noticed that too and found the "unread content" button on the right side of the 2nd bar at the top to do the same thing with some more options (from what I remember)

someone on the forums said a dev said that the extended target window and agro meter were not considered QoL items and aren't being added with the other stuff, not sure if that is old or new info since he didn't link to a source though I believe that is true based on what they have mentioned previously in the numerous threads about people wanting click from bags added.

I was recently reading some posts saying that druids could (short term) top the dps meters on burns which apparently is rather mana intensive but stupid for a priest class IMO so I am not surprised they were nerfed one bit

Lol I was expecting a new server like that to be released right around when ldon unlocked on agnarr, I guess it will be a ghost town long before then - R.I.P Agnar!
