While playing the other night I came across the afflicted refugee (nothing strange) but once he got into a fight with a wolf he started vomiting a green slime all over it, I could swear this is new. Also spiders leak a green poison blood now also, have I missed this always?

Have you guys noticed any small inclusions not mentioned in patch notes?

Afflicted had a vomit attack before, but they only use it at close range - perhaps when you encountered them before you mostly engaged them from a distance?

Yep. There is even a quest included with them. It's been there since the beginning.

Never heard of that spider bit though.

I don't know if I have ever seen an Afflicted Refuge.

I usually close my eyes when battling the spiders, so I don't' see their guts. Not afraid of spiders, I just really don't like them.
