 * Fixed a bug that occasionally cut off lengthy trade and party-search-related messages in the Chat panel.
 * Added additional trade and grouping keywords to the list of words that trigger Party Search.
 * Changed the layout of the Forgotten Shrines and Fetid River Heroes' Ascent maps.
 * Added a message to alert players when someone in their district has achieved a maximum title that counts toward earning Favor of the Gods.

Bug Fixes

 * Fixed a bug that prevented Water Tormentors and Sanity Tormentors in the Domain of Anguish from having weapons when created by the Call to the Torment skill.
 * Changed Abaddon’s AI for "Words of Madness" so it does not allow entirely avoiding him while achieving Masters level completion of the mission at the same time.
