Update 1.8.16 brings fixes, quality-of-life tweaks, and a small BETA visual for combat!

New
Combat:
- A new BETA visual and sound cue for perfect parries has been added so you get clearer feedback when an attack is incoming. It may still be rough around the edges.
Information Board & UI:
- The Information Board and its pages (Help, Rules, Server Info, Team, Search) now support multiple languages and follow your selected language.
Skill HUD:
- Skill HUD now shows progress bars so you can watch skill progress in real time.
Books & Papers:
- A lectern was added so you can showcase and copy books more easily.

Bug Fixes
NPCs:
- Bugmen Merchant and Fogmen Worker NPCs were fixed and should behave correctly now instead of getting stuck or acting odd.
Items & Books:
- Parchment items and interactions have been fixed so they work correctly.
- Book and parchment sounds were restored so reading and writing feel right again.
- Fixed a crash that could happen when your inventory was full while interacting with the books system.
Shops & Marketplace:
- Player-run barter shops no longer leave sold items behind in chests; selling now correctly removes the item.

Gameplay
Creature Loot:
- Monster drops were cleaned up: equipment no longer drops from mobs and any unobtainable materials were removed from loot so drops match what players can actually use.
World Events:
- An unstable world event that could cause instability was disabled to keep the server stable.

User Interface
Nameplates & NPC Picker:
- Nameplate visuals and the NPC selection UI were improved. NPC selection now picks the correct NPC when filters are used, and pagination/labels are clearer.

Other Changes
Assets & Stability:
- Missing sound assets were restored for books and papers.
- Various behind-the-scenes fixes were applied to get things working smoothly across the server.
