[BETA ONLY]The range of the Tactics buffs has been increased to 80m.
[BETA ONLY]Tooltips for Legacies have been cleaned up and all legacies should be fully functional

User Interface
BETA ONLY: Instance Finder should play nicely with the Encounter Queue. After finding a match, if there's an encounter queue for that match, you will get a different message in the status window. Only after your number comes up will you get asked to confirm your readiness and at that point you will once again be launched straight into the encounter like you used to be able to. Please watch out for oddities with this flow or entering encounters.
