Grand Continuum Events and Act 4 open beta!

[h3]Version 0.55509206[/h3]
🎯 [Grand Continuum Events] Grand Continuum Events have now been added to the game. These events are available in Continuum XL.

🎯 [Balance] The damage of the background fire trap has been reduced by 50%.
🎯 [Misc] Set items affixes are no longer removed when fragments that re-roll item properties are used.
🎯 [Misc] The Act 4 test branch has been unlocked for anyone to try. To play the open beta, do the following:

  1. Right-click the Nienix icon in your Steam library
  2. Click "Properties"
  3. Click "BETAS"
  4. Select "beta - Test branch"
  5. Have fun playing!

Before you enable the Act 4 test build, make sure to backup your save game folder (/Data/Save/). When you have passed level 40 with a character, the corresponding save wont be applicable to the regular build anymore.

The Act 4 test branch contains the following updates:
  • You can explore Act 4. This act includes 60 new enemies and four campaign bosses.
  • You can level up to 60.
  • You can unlock (and complete) the Continuum XL mode, which contains various changes to the core game experience.
  • As a bonus, a completely new game mode called "Fleet Commander" is included. This mode lets you battle an AI or friend in an RTS-like auto-battler. I'm unsure if this game mode will make it into the final release. Please let me know what you think!

When you begin playing the Act 4 build, the Continuum Mode will be locked. Don't panic: all your progress, unlocked waypoints and such are still there. However, you need to finish Act 4 first. At that point, Continuum Mode will be unlocked and your progress during Continuum Mode made available.

To enter Act 4, complete the final mission in Act 3.
