Update Notes / Re: Updates May 24th - Duel Arena, Emps-Wars, Lunars and more!
« on: May 24, 2017, 07:50:28 am »Duel Arena and Staking Limits
I've come to the conclusion that limiting stakes doesn't benefit us at all. It's just shifting problems or denying to actually deal with toxicity. I'm therefore removing all staking limits. The staff team will also act much stricter on offensive language from now on. Starting off with warnings and faster mutes, especially in clan chats.
Very good update, as I'm not staker myself, but that definitely should reduce the scamming of a middleman.
Emps-Wars
I've seen a lot of feedback on the forum and requests to bring this old minigame back. I'm not returning the exact old minigame, but imho an improved version of it. I've removed the top floors of both team's castles to make the actual boss fighting area larger. On top of the Zamorak castle you'll find Fareed and on top of the Saradomin castle the Ice queen. Their stats remain the same and both of them have a low defence level. This means, that also lower leveled players can deal damage to them. Moreover, the Ice queen's and Fareed's attacks scale with your maximum hitpoints level. This can reduce damage up to 90%! I've also spawned 3 Saradomin/Zamorak warriors on top of their appropriate castle. The capture the flag minigame wasn't removed, you can still steal flags to gain additional score for your team! The minigame ends if one of the team's boss dies or if more than 10 flags have been captured.
Like division66 said, I also am super hyped, can't wait to try it out, go nostalgia.
Broadcasting system
I've added a basic system that broadcasts messages across both worlds. They are disabled in all PvP zones to avoid other people from sniffing you out on good drops! Following in-game events will trigger a broadcast:
- Level 99 in a skill.
- Level 99 in all skills.
- 50M experience steps in a skill: 50M, 100M, 150M, 200M and 250M.
- Drops from a monster exceeding a Grand Exchange price of 5M.
- Untradeable drops that have a rarity of <= 1%. This is for rare collectibles.
- Players completing the tutorial.
This was something I was waiting for so long, thank you for updating this, simple but super awesome!
Other updates are great, it is seen that clearly community has had it's word in it, I want to say that thank you for listening our suggestions, these updates are just super awesome. Can't wait try all these out.
Best to you Thomy!
