Is this update going to effect legendary items and markings as well as downloaded maps we have. Im sure most of us have worked hard to make our characters the way they look prior to this update. At the same time i am excited! just im sure a lot of us will be disappointed if we have to add everything again. I personally am worried.
If you read the posts most of these questions were answered there ^^
The post explains that your custom maps are fine so long as you didn't go about editing the default object groups (which no one should be doing in the first place) ^^
As of right now the known mass markings packs and items may not work right with this version of the updated game until someone makes them compatible with it. This is due to the coding in the cfg files being slightly different now.
Your characters have not been deleted nor changed. They are still saved safetly on your account.
