Halloween Time!
With Halloween fast approaching, this upcoming season will be spookier than the rest! We've decided to get into the Halloween spirit by decorating the spawn with creepy pumpkins, bats and spider webs. Take a look!
Halloween Gladiator Map
We've also added an eerie Gladiator Map that you can battle other clans on when the Gladiator events take place every day.
Halloween Barrels
You'll be able to spot the spooky Halloween themed barrels around the map for the entirety of the upcoming season. Awesome!
New Helicopter - The Chinook
We analyzed the feedback we received regarding the middle biome and caves, and wanted to see whether they gave any advantages to players who regularly visit them. We found that Orepile benefits were outweighing the middle biome benefits and wanted to find an effective solution to overcome this issue.
We understood that the middle biome and caves were not being used as much due to the fact that players were filling up their inventories with ores very quickly, so it wasn't worth spending the short amount of time there to mine some ore then trek all the way back to their bases to deposit it.
As a result of this, we are introducing the brand new Chinook helicoper! This awesome helicopter comes with 6 seats and 9 double chests worth of space to store items! To access the items that you've stored, simply right-click the Chinook.
How awesome does it look! The Chinook will be available in our vehicles category on our server store, as well as being obtainable through the Darius or Hydra crates!
Orepile Regeneration
Last season, we added a survey question regarding adding a random aspect to regenerating Orepiles. We cannot deny that farming ores inside your base is a great and safe way to gather materials, but we feel as though because of this, players don't have any incentive to take risks and leave their bases to farm elsewhere.
As a result, during our next season, all Orepiles will respawn faster, but the ores that will respawn will be random. This means that when the Orepiles regenerate, the ores won't be the same every time.
Return of Clan Alliances
We received a lot of positive feedback about the current clan slots limit (3 players with a 4 player upgrade), and the general comments were that it helped increase the overall server competitiveness, giving more chances for small and medium clans to make a difference on the realm.
We're really happy with the overall response to this change, however we noticed that players were making hidden alliances on the server. These would be Clans that help each out due to friendship ties established when we still had alliances or larger clans.
Due to this, we have decided to add back the ability to ally clans! Notice that allied clans will not be able to live together or share the same Orepiles. Make sure to check our updated rules before playing.
Bounty Event
Over the last few seasons we've added a range of events on Outlands, however we feel that we were lacking in PvP type events, so we're introducing the Bounty Event!
This event will take place once a day, a random player with over 10 hours of gameplay will be picked at random, and a bounty will be placed upon them! This player will have to accept or deny whether they want to be bountied, and must survive for 30 minutes to win an exclusive reward.
During this time, the bountied player will not be allowed to enter any tool cupboard area, and will have their location shown on the server minimap. If a player kills them during this time, then that player will win the reward instead!
