Server (Features)

- Changed XP calculation for rating. When the attacker is higher than rating 150, cap it for XP calculation purposes. This allows high rating players to continue to earn a little XP when killing monsters (Note: in tests with a rating 200 player against a level 100 mob this resulted in about an increase of XP from 3% to 36%).
- Cleaned up several obsolete systems related to groups, this will improve the performance of group functionality in the server backend.
- Cleaned up monster attack systems which will also improve server performance.

Server (Fixes)

- Fixed an issue with the calculation of who did the most damage / which group, this will ensure the right loot rights are issued.

Client (Features)

- The game's particle effect code has been rewritten. This overhaul fixes the bugs where effects would stop working after a while, effects would constantly loop (screenshake etc), and the debug log would fill up with "EMPTY PARTICLE POOL" messages. It's now safe to turn your spell effects back on!
- The game's loading code has been rewritten to greatly improve loading performance. This overhaul allows the game to load faster with the loading screen enabled and stream assets ingame faster, as well as improves game stability.
- Overhead quest icons on NPCs will now display based on priority, and use a new icon based on their classification. The color of the overhead icon now indicates the type of quests being offered. You can see more about them here: https://community.istaria.com/galler...3433377-72.png
