NETWORK UPDATE 4.0.2 - PATCH NOTES
Hello Minecrafters!
Im here again to announce to you a new netwok update. With this update, we are bringing you a completely new kitpvp mechanic. Cosmetics system rework, databse imporvements and some quality of life changes along with bug fixes.
To start with, we believe we have fixed the random crashes happening when tons of players are joining at the same time. This error was due to our database not processing this mass of information correctly. I made some adjustments for the second time and we are hoping that we have fixed the issue now, it is impossible to check unless a lot of players join at the same time.
Putting this aside, read below for the other changes!
â–º General Changes
After consdidering your feedback, it is time to adjust carl's cosmetics to be more new player friendly. From now on, carl will only sell kill and arrow effects. Other lobby cosmetics will only be obtainable from mystery boxes and are now called "collectibles". After all, it didn't make sense for both global in game and lobby cosmetics to be sellable by carl. Furthermore, players will notice a change in their hotbar, instead of hotbar slot 5 being the in game cosmetics shop item, the collectibles item has taken its place. To open the in - game cosmetics shop navigate to the settings item(hotbar slot 8) and select game settings, you will be able to see your game cosmetics there.
â–º Arcade Games
Carl's cosmetics are now fully supported in arcade games and a Carl NPC has been added in both party escape and arcade games lobbies. Furthermore, both of these minigames have been optimised and many minor bugs were fixed with this change.
â–º KitPvP Fishing
You may now use a fishing rod to fish in kitpvp, fishing rewards range from kitpvp exp to tokens and even to crate keys, if you are lucky enough, you may also get the newly added FISHER tag to use in the entire network. A new npc was also added, make sure to talk to him, his story is quite interesting, after all, he may give you something as a reward for listening. Keep in mind, mods that allow afk fishing will result in an account suspension from our network.
â–º Database Improvements
There was an issue where our database could not register a lot of incoming connections at the same time. We believe this is fixed and not only the server shouldn't freeze/crash but changes to for example stats should be done way smoother and faster now. Let me know if there are any issues.
â–º Mystery Boxes
In almost every game lobby, there is a mystery vault that you can use to open mystery boxes to win collectibles. Finding mystery boxes is based purely on a chance, every 40 of playtime mins there is an 80% chance to find a mysterybox of random rarity. Some mysteryboxes need a rank to be unlocked, the member rank can only unlock 1 star mystery boxes.
â–º Bedwars
Improved the way the team selector works and looks. Arenas not starting and messages sometimes not showing issues are fixed, fireballs now have a 2 second cooldown between uses so that if a player throws more than 2 fireballs too fast they don't hit each other, finally we have added a height limit of 110 blocks on every map.
This will be it for today, again if you encounter any problems do not hesitate to report them. We are also in the process of updating the updates shop gui for bedwars, expect a post about this update coming soon.
Thanks for playing and I can't wait to see you on the server again.
Best wishes.
