Editing Valhalla-5.0 (section)

== QoL Updates ==
Status UI 💙
* Recognizing the pain called out by the community in tracking the various effects and timers, we've implemented a status effect section on the HUD that will show when a Perk/Buff/Debuff is in-effect and how much longer it will be in effect for.
* Negative status effects are shown in red.
* This should help keep track of your Temperature potions, Effigy buffs, and just how much longer you'll have to endure Jormie's vile poison.
Survival Storage Chest Dismantling Update 💙
* Storage Chests can now be dismantled again if they have items within, however, whenever a Storage Chest is dismantled or destroyed by any means, all of its contents will now drop on the ground nearby.
Improved Status Tracking on the Map 💙
* When using the Map, hovering over something buildable/upgradeable, such as a Villager Station, Gateway, or Extractor, will now display the remaining Materials required to upgrade them.
* Extractors in Saga Mode now have a timer visible on the map for when the next shipment is due.
* Jötunn health bars are now visible on the Map above their icons.
Abandon World Clarity 💙
* The Abandon World button is now highlighted in red, further spaced out from Save & Quit, and made into a smaller button.
* Community feedback has shown that players may sometimes accidentally abandon their Worlds due to how the options are presented.We understand the issue and apologize for any prematurely abandoned worlds. Due to the weight of the consequences (Abandoned Worlds are lost forever), we wanted to improve the clarity and distinction between Save & Quit and Abandon World options.
Quest Presentation
* When selecting your Saga Quest, we've added a number of visual elements to help distinguish them and make the selection of your next journey a little nicer to look at (still dangerous, but prettier!).
* Personal Quests have received a similar visual update, and now even show the Quest NPC on the side panel so you know exactly who you're looking for (especially helpful if you're bad with names!).
* We've also added the Ancient Runes that will be awarded from the Treasure Chest when completing Saga Quests that require taking down an Ancient
Golden Horn Cap Increase 💙

* Have at it, speedrunners!
Journal Update
* Journal entries were added for all Elite enemies.
Saga Mode Matchmaking Update:
* Players will be less likely to find themselves in a game that's been going on for a while, and should only be connected to an ongoing Saga World that's less than 2 in-game Days old.
Recipe Tab

Eira Visibility and Dialogue

* When a World's creator abandons or is removed from a World, the creator's privileges (view password, kick, ban) are transferred to the next oldest player in the session.
