General

• Updated the Tropic Valley Raceway adventure and event with two additional boost power-ups.

Rewards

• PvP Rush and WvW Rush achievements now use an automatically consumed item with an icon when awarding champion points. Champion point allocation has been updated across the achievements.

Personal Story

• Fixed an issue that could cause Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity story collections to stall under certain circumstances when multiple characters on the same account were progressing the story step simultaneously. For characters that are currently stalled, story progression will resolve the next time that character enters the relevant Castora map for that chapter's collection or upon resuming that chapter when it is their active story while in the relevant map.
