And My Level Is...?

I was finally able to have a look at the new level up message this afternoon.

I raised Crafting to 79 and was immediately greeted by the fizzing sound of fireworks shooting up and exploding around my avatar. The level up message simultaneously appeared at the bottom of my screen... which didn't state my current level!

In order to actually view the proper message instead of the new generic one, I had to click on the flashing Crafting icon in the Skills Menu. Taking only its appearance to account, the modified level up message was definitely an improvement compared to the older version. However, as evident by the screenshot right at the bottom, it has one glaring flaw.



The new level up message blocks up your entire view! Although I'm able to view it anytime I like and prevent the message from getting interrupted, there's no way I'll be able to properly take my 99 Defence screenshot with Forminable anymore. Friends will no longer be able to make appearances in any of my 99 screenshots, which effectively ruins the little tradition I’ve been following for eleven maxed out skills so far.

I am not pleased with the change at all.


This brand new level up message looks even better than its older
counterpart, but it blocks out your entire view.

The best I can do with this update is to take a screenshot of Form's congratulations on the public chat, while I click on the flashing Defence icon to display the level up message. Neither his avatar nor mine will make an appearance in the screenshot, but I have little choice but to accept this terrible change.


Stuff achieved today: Level 79 Crafting, Level 76 Ranged
