May 17 Quality of Life Improvements

Quality of Life: May 17 Update

Mobile-first improvements across Crimes, Gym, and combat training.

Crimes Panel

  • Quick Use chips — Tap to use crime related consumables directly from the crimes panel including Nerve Tonics. No more bouncing back to inventory.
  • Mobile layout fix — Active Effects chips now wrap into tidy rows instead of overflowing on narrow screens.

Iron Fist Gym

  • Quick Use chips — Adrenaline Shot and Energy Drinks one tap away. Top up energy without leaving the gym.
  • Quick Withdraw — One-tap chips ($1K / $10K / $100K / $1M / ALL) pull cash from your bank instantly. Routine costs covered without a side-trip.
  • Routine Bar — Routine in Progress banner now re-added at the top of Gym as per request. The timer and option stays on the training card too.

Item Market

  • Bank logs — Item market sales that arrive to your bank now show in your bank logs from here onwards.

Smuggling

  • Buyer info cleanup — Smuggler buyer information has been removed for players no longer Downtown locked. No more stale "Check back in 15 minutes" placeholders cluttering the panel after you've moved on.

Academy: Two New Degrees

Footwork Mastery (AGI) and Marksman Academy (DEX)

  • Six-tier course chains mirroring Combat Doctrine and Defensive Arts.
  • +16.5% Agility and +16.5% Dexterity at full completion each.

Some of these are per survey suggestions - we're listening and implementing what genuinely would work well and is requested in mass.
