System Ascension

v4.2.0: System types

• After you accept the System, you choose Normal, Alchemical or God from three cards with thumbnails. The choice is permanent, and existing characters get a one-time offer.
• Normal is unchanged.
• Alchemical:
  • Alchemy costs 20% less EMC and gives 20% more.
  • The Alchemy skill levels 50% faster.
  • The enchanting table opens at INT 10 and full-power enchants at INT 45.
  • Rifts drop Alchemy unlocks more often.
• God:
  • Each attribute point adds a percentage instead of milestone perks.
  • Rifts spawn 60% more mobs per wave and pay 25% more.
• Each system has its own colour: blue, purple, gold.

v4.2.1: Colours and Alchemy access

• The Alchemy tab and the Alchemy button in MORE are only for Alchemical players.
• Windows, buttons, text colours, the HUD and the info pop-ups all follow your system colour.

v4.2.2: Class and flight

• The Alchemist class is only offered to Alchemical players.
• God players get flight at max level (double-tap Jump).

v4.2.3: Menu cleanup

• Side tabs are now STATUS, QUESTS, SKILLS, ABILITIES, ALCHEMY (Alchemical only), ALERTS, CLASS (from level 10) and MORE.
• The Alerts tab shows a red ! when you have unread alerts.
• Removed: the Status bottom shortcut row, the ATTRIBUTES screen and the Stat guide.
• Milestones moved into SKILLS, and Guide moved into MORE.
• Requirements now shows only what you can’t use yet.

v4.2.4–v4.2.6: Flight tuning

• Flight now steers where you look, with a sprint boost, an automatic landing and a particle trail.
• Speeds were raised twice, ending at cruise 1.0 and sprint 1.5.

v4.3.0: Cleanup and the crate

• The System Core item is removed.
• Flavor remarks and sudden quests are off by default.
• The quest-failure penalty is God-only.
• The daily mystery crate was added, with six rarity tiers and a Mythic tier of game-breaking prizes.

v4.3.1–v4.4.3: Crate animation

• The crate went through a world-spawned 3D chest, then an in-window chest-opening animation with 3D-rendered chests.
• Final form: a chest strip that scrolls and stops on your prize, then that chest opens in the middle, rays burst out, the prize flies out of it, and “You got:” text appears with a green CLAIM button.
• Fixes along the way: chest position, prize drawn in front of the lid, a solid lid, and a gentler spin start.
• The Mythic tier gives the title “The Lucky One”.
• Every title unlock is now announced in chat to the whole server.

v4.5.0–v4.5.2: Crate flow

• Opening the crate shows a still strip with a green SPIN button first. Closing it saves the crate for later.
• The prize is now given when you press CLAIM. Closing the window early or disconnecting still gets you the prize.
