July 2026: Mad Doctor’s Syringe cannot polymorph another player

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The regular and Empowered Mad Doctor’s Syringe now polymorph only their caster. The publisher describes removing the ability to polymorph other players as an intentional response to harassment reports, so repeating the old target interaction will not restore that function. [1]

Official fix available

July 2026: Pathfinder wardrobe unlocks the wrong set

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The July update resolves the Pathfinder wardrobe set’s incorrect unlock. The publisher explains that it had unlocked Harrowing instead; the bundle was replaced with Harrowing, and the Skulking set offers items described as essentially matching Pathfinder. [1]

Documented workaround

Dimension editing is limited by permissions

Platforms: PCEvidence checked

A visitor’s ability to move, place or pick up items depends on the Dimension’s permission level. The owner and their alternate characters retain editing access. Pickup permission lets other players remove items from the Dimension, so it should be distinguished from allowing entry alone. [2]
