Patch Notes are available:
Patch Notes: Version: NW.135.20220208a.9
Events
April Fowls
A new Zombie Chick vanity pet has been added to the event vendor.
Daily quests: Defender chickens now leave when healed, so the same defender cannot be healed repeatedly for quest credit.
Daily quests: Since these objectives are map-wide, they no longer try to take Quest Path priority in Protector’s Enclave.
Fewer groups of chickens should spawn in Protector’s Enclave. In testing, this shouldn’t make daily quests significantly more difficult on average, and this should hopefully improve gameplay performance.
Players should no longer be unexpectedly pulled into combat while in Protector’s Enclave. However, we were unable to consistently reproduce the issue and, as a result, this fix attempt may not have been comprehensive.
Sewers Most Fowl: The central grate of the final arena should now be a little clearer about whether an attack warning is over it.
Sewers Most Fowl: The flow of the objectives in this dungeon has been refined, but should overall play similarly to before.
The icon for Bird Feathers has been changed to be more visually distinct from Bird Seed at all appropriate display sizes.
We believe we’ve resolved the issue where Protector’s Enclave grows increasingly laggy over the course of the event. However, as we were not able to reproduce this issue internally, it’s still possible that we may need to restart Protector’s Enclave every other day like in previous years.

Mount Powers
Coastal Flail Snail, Mossy Flail Snail, Arcane Whirlwind, and Infernal War Machine now hit a maximum of 10 targets.
