Severlins Hotfix List - Tuesday 18th June, 2103 there will be a hotfix Link
Tuesday morning we will have a hotfix. It will have all the items we discussed plus the tinkering fix, which was unrelated to the UI changes.
There are a couple of know issues after the hotfix. I know it seems weird to have known issues for the patch and the hotfix, but we really need to get the salvaging hotfix in and we feel that putting off the planned hotfix to fix the known issues would overall be bad because of the tinkering fix.

Missing Character Update Link
UPDATE:
We have deployed a patch to help players whose characters had gone missing due to some bad data appearing on their subscription information. While this corrects many subscriptions, please note that any accounts that happen to have multiple AC subscriptions tied to the same account name may require our support team to split the subscriptions into separate accounts before the characters will reappear. Note that if you have a mule (or other such "not the sub where my main characters are") subscription on the same account as your primary subscription, this can trigger the missing character bug on your primary subscription, which we are now able to assist with by splitting the mule subscription onto its own account.
