Veteran System
Veteran point system taken out and now has 1 overall experience system, note that there are still veteran ranks. However before when you hit the veteran ranks, you started getting “veteran points” rather then “experience points” and different types of things some things gave you veteran points but not experience and some things gave you experience but not veteran points, so they have merged the two to make a single experience system.
Passives include things like:
Blade Expert – Increase base damage any player can do with a blade, it does not increase any “extra” damage from damage types on blades
Tenacity – Increase total stamina regen by a percentage
Shock boost – Increase damage done by shock and increase resistance to shock
Precise strikes – Increase the percentage on the weapon critical derives stat
The more points you spend into a single constellation will unlock special abilities such as:
10points Impatiance – Significant increase to success at forcing locks
30 points Fortune Hunter – Gold found in chests is increased
50 points Deflection – blocking now returns a percentage of the damage onto the attacker
100 points CounterStrike A successful block at lower then 10% health has a percentage chance to prevent and return 100% of the damage back at the attacker. 10Min cooldown
New Gear
New gear, continuous seasonal weapons and armor, constant gear chase.
Justice System

Veteran System
Veteran point system taken out and now has 1 overall experience system, note that there are still veteran ranks. However before when you hit the veteran ranks, you started getting “veteran points” rather then “experience points” and different types of things some things gave you veteran points but not experience and some things gave you experience but not veteran points, so they have merged the two to make a single experience system.
- Reduced difficulty in veteran zone
- “rest experience” where players that are logged out for a long time will come back with a boost to experience, that way it is easier to catch up to your friends that play often
- Champion system: Constellations are back! This time in the form of a “legacy” system where you could purchase passives that work on all of your characters
Passives include things like:
Blade Expert – Increase base damage any player can do with a blade, it does not increase any “extra” damage from damage types on blades
Tenacity – Increase total stamina regen by a percentage
Shock boost – Increase damage done by shock and increase resistance to shock
