Today’s topics were covered in the posts of 2012-Oct-15<\/a> and Nov-12<\/a>, now I’ll try to sum up the changes that were made since then in these areas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The outcome panel’s look resembles that of the old chapters’ more again, the multiple info tabs were removed, and instead, when you roll over a main stat, you can see its details in a hovering infobox.<\/p>\n

The various items you get during a battle will get listed again in a row at the bottom of the panel again, as seen in Chapter 0 and Labyrinth. Everything from newly discovered fields’ tokens to talisman fragments to shadow cores, even the unlocked achievements will appear here.<\/p>\n

The XP bar was removed as well, now it’s visible exclusively in the world map screen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Talking of which, the visual representation of the “primary XP – secondary XP” system was changed, going from both ends seemed a good idea at first, but it didn’t work well, so now the XP bar fills up from the left, with the primary (“true”) and secondary XP having different colors, and a transparent slice of the bar showing how far the secondary XP can still stretch.<\/p>\n

The XP bar’s infobox tells you how much more secondary XP you can still get, the “secondary XP pool” increases every time you level up. If you need just a little more XP to level up, but can’t beat your prevoius XP records, you will still be awarded with XP, but that taps on the secondary pool until it depletes.<\/p>\n

As a minor comfort feature, your wizard level will be visible without having to roll over the XP bar.<\/p>\n
