New Spawn
With a new season comes a new spawn! Check it out below:
New Features
/Duels Lobby
You can now set up a duel for anyone to participate in! Find out who's currently got a duel lobby open using /duels. See what wager, mode, kit and arena someone wants to duel in by hovering your mouse over their head in the menu. Click on their head to begin the duel.
You can create your own duel lobby by going through the normal /duel process but at the end you'll need to right-click the complete setup button. Once you've set up your duel, simply wait for someone to accept it! Once a duel has been accepted by another player, there will be a 5 second countdown until the duel begins.
Spectate Duels & See Duel Inventories
You'll now be able to spectate another player's duel by doing /duel spectate [player].
When a duel has finished, you'll be able to see the inventories of both of the players who participated in it. Simply click on the names of the winner and loser in chat to compare. Were they no potted? Now you know for sure!
Lottery
Try your luck with the new Lottery system and you could win big bucks! Simply buy tickets via /lottery buy or /lotto buy to enter the draw, with winners being chosen every half an hour.
Each ticket costs $100,000 (100k) to purchase. Players can purchase up to 100 tickets per lottery draw. There needs to be a minimum of 250 entries for a lottery draw to take place. If the minimum requirement isn't hit when it's time to draw the winner, all players who entered will be refunded.
You can toggle whether you want to see announcements on screen or in chat for the lottery, see how long left until the next winner is chosen or just see how many tickets you've entered into the lottery this round. To configure these lottery settings, just do /lottery or /lotto.
Archon Pass Free Tracks
We have officially split the current Archon Pass up into a Free Track and a Premium Track.
This means that all players will now have access to their own Free Archon Pass filled with 100 challenges that you can complete to win rewards (use /pass in game). If you want to gain access to the Premium Track, you can purchase the Premium Archon Pass on our store.
What's the difference between the Free and Premium Tracks?
Players with the Archon Pass Premium Track will be able to unlock extra rewards per challenge completed as well as receive the base Free Track rewards. This means you get 2 rewards for each challenge you complete instead of the usual 1! The challenges will reset at the start of every new season so make sure you grind them out before the season ends.
Due to the Archon Pass resetting at the end of each season, you will need to repurchase the Premium Track to regain access to it's OP rewards for the next season.
Additional Changes
-Snowballs now break blocks in Spleef duels
-Continuing to work on server jar performance & server stability
-Continuing to refine and improve various mechanics such as printer
-Creeper spawners will now cost $1,500,000 in the shop & their maximum F Top value will also be $1,500,000 with mining costs for Creeper spawners also doubling to $600,000
Thank you everyone for another amazing map, see you all at 3:00 PM EST on Saturday for the Amber reset!
