Ryan 315 Posted June 10, 2021 2021 Summer Event ETAJune 13th, 2021 QoLs and Gameplay Changes Killstreak system revamp Killstreak rewards and the Killjoy system have been revamped! Originally designed in 2015, this system had become far too antiquated, and far less significant than originally intended Killjoy rewards Having a 25+ killstreak puts a bounty on your head (in cash bags) based on the formula: Bags = Opponent's Streak / 3 For example, if you kill someone on a 150 killstreak, you'll receive 50x cash bags Killjoy rewards cap at 100x cash bags (300 killstreak killjoy) Killstreak BM bonus Before this update, bonus blood money was your streak divided by 4, capped at 15 Meaning after 60 streak (60 / 4 = 15), bonuses wouldn't improve Now once you hit that +15 bonus (60 streak) instead of capping, the formula adjusts to 1/15 of your streak for the remaining amount Nonetheless, there is still a cap of +50 BM in order to maintain balance -- but still allow bonuses to stretch far more than before As a result, BM bonus continues to slightly increase when at a 100+, 250+, or even a 500 killstreak This new formula may be hard to grasp, but for those who are curious about how it works: [If streak less than or equal to 60]: blood money = streak / 4 (original formula) [If streak greater than 60]: blood money = 15 + ((streak - 60) / 15) (new scale formula) Our goal was to make your (or your opponent's) killstreak finally feel valuable the more it grows -- rather than pointless from such short caps We hope you guys enjoy these new changes - please let us know if you have any suggestions for improvements! Mad hatter pet As some of you may have suggested/reported, there are a lot of mad hatter pets in-game, despite how powerful it is Some of the mad hatter pet's effects have been reduced The dance effect now does +7.5% damage, instead of +15% for example You can now enchant 5x mad hatter pets for a Psychotic mad hatter pet (100% enchant chance) The psychotic mad hatter pet has the pre-nerf strength of mad hatter, but also slightly better healing & accuracy than before His appearance is slightly bigger than the regular mad hatter, different colors, and a flaming skull for a head (if particles enabled) Other / Miscellaneous Added a ::renderself command to hide your player view from your client (others can still see you, of course) Infernal kraken (superior boss) has been weakened, as it was reported to be too difficult (Infernal kraken was never intended to be more difficult than other superiors) Its attacks now deal 10-35 damage (like other superior bosses) rather than 30-55 Its attacks now also have an extra tick on the hitsplat delay to make more time for prayer switching Infernal trident drop rate is now more rare Given that it is one of the best autocast staves in the game, we want to raise its value and prevent oversaturation Looting bag deposit QoLs The "deposit inventory" button in your bank will now auto-deposit all your looting bag items The "deposit all" button next to your minimap will now auto-depsoit all your looting bag items Ancient crossbow special attack's second hit now has a proper hitsplat delay (1 tick longer than before). Prior to this patch, ACB's 2nd hit occurred far too quickly, often not even giving opponents a chance to eat (instant KO) EdgePvP has received some QoLs Killstreaks, ELO, KDR, etc. now fully apply in EdgePvP Added restriction to Cudgels Removed restriction from Blood looting bags Removed restriction from Xerician robes Removed restriction from Kodai wands Removed restriction from Berserker necklace (or) Removed restriction from Obsidian maul (or) Removed primal mystery box announcements from yell chat broadcasts Added a cooldown to the stairs at rogue's castle (similar to the stair dungeon entrance cooldown near MB) You can now right-click "Remove dye" from winter 2020 dyed items: Enchanted boots/gloves (i), Ava's assembler (i) It will give a warning dialogue upon attempt, that you do not receive the dye back upon removal! Bug fixes Fixed an issue where certain clicks wouldn't register (such as spell casting on targets) depending on the position of the screen you clicked Issues for this have been fixed in both fixed mode AND resizable mode: Fixed multiple issues with void set bonuses Fixed an issue where void mage helms were not giving proper set bonuses Fixed an issue where elite void set bonuses was in some cases stronger than cursed void set bonuses Fixed an issue where void range/melee set bonus gave benefits of all combat styles (melee, mage, and range) rather than their respective ones In addition, I wanted to clear a misunderstanding about reports of cursed void having the same stats as elite void This isn't a bug, but a misunderstanding on how cursed void's equipment bonuses work For those unaware, cursed void "unlocks" its full potential equipment bonuses when you wear a full void set (4 pieces - ornament helm, cursed body & legs, AND void gloves / defender) This was implemented last year on our May 6th 2020 bundle update: https://spawnpk.net/forums/index.php?/topic/21922-may-6th-2020-may-bundle-combat-content-improvements-qols-and-fixes/ Fixed issue where the heavy ballista double shot (swift/e-gloves proc) had potential for hitting over 100 Fixed issue where Karil's + AoTD double shot effect would override the intended caps for double shot on certain weapons (tbow, acb, etc.) Fixed the accuracy of teleblock being too high when wearing gear with low magic bonus Fixed mythic cape & wings not auto-looting token drops from monsters spawned via mythic zone spawner Fixed infernal flippers not giving unlimited stamina Fixed yells from non-donator players w/ yell tags appearing even with the "Yell" chat filter disabled Fixed protection value of Easter DH pieces Fixed the blood looting bag working at Skotizo lair Fixed an issue where you couldn't drink potions during the duel arena countdown (for regular ::stake duels, not for duels with potions disabled of course!) Looking ahead (future plans) Our realistic ETA for the summer event is on June 13th After the summer event releases, the goal for this second half of 2021 is to at least drop gameplay/qol/patch updates bi-weekly (every 2 weeks) We're hoping this not only gives you guys a better feeling on the care this server is getting, but also gradually fix bugs & improve existing content This is also the plan for SPK's sister server, RuneX. We've agreed that this kind of a schedule will keep both servers in a well-kept rotation rather than attention always leaning more on one or the other. Tevin may periodically host live QA/Feedback sessions on our discord like we did for this update, to give you guys what you really want! Further gameplay improvements, bug fixes, etc. that you guys requested are still on our TO-DO list! There's a lot more planned, we just didn't want to prolong this update and create a domino effect (where the Summer Event would get delayed too) With our new bi-weekly patch schedule, you'll see plenty more great changes & fixes throughout the summer! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
