The chaotic dampening mesmer trait does not appear to affect the phase retreat or phantasmal warlock abilities.
During the initial human cut-scene, the hands grasping on another do not appear (though their sleeves do).
I noticed a small number of grammatical errors in reading the letter at the end of the asura character creation.
When the mesmer blink utility is used, the running animation ceases and the character floats about until another movement key is pressed.
