Ryan 315 Posted February 23, 2023 PK Rating System SpawnPK now has a scalable rating system for PKing, which is zone specific. Meaning, you have a different PK rating for different zones/regions. Edgeville PKing rating is the primary one, with its own reward systems. Rather than going into detail on this post, here's a screenshot from our informative guide available in-game. It should answer most (if not all) questions you may have about how this works! Ratings and ranks are represented in-game in various ways! For example, in Edgeville BH it will show the Edgeville rating/rank of your target on the overlay. This also applies to secondary rating systems like Deep Wild. If you're not in a rated area, it will default to the old ELO display. NOTE: You can also right-click "Inspect" players in the wild to view their rating (in a rated area). Additionally, there is a "top players online" leaderboard for each rating system. Climbing up the ladder for Edgeville PKing also has tangible benefits! When you click "View rewards" you will see an explanation of all the rewards your Edgeville PKing rating has to offer Additionally, it shows more rewards that are in store if you reach the higher ranks! NOTE: PLEASE READ In the future, we plan to implement Seasons to this ratings feature. What this will involve, is every 'x' amount of months (for example 2-3 months) SpawnPK will enter a new season. When the season changes, the top (5-10) players will receive a grand prize, and then everyone's rating will reset back to the default (Bronze 1,500) The update is not releasing with this feature because we'd like to first collect data on everyone's performance(Primarily to decide on factors, such as what the duration of a season should be) Until then, ratings will remain permanent -- we just want to make sure everyone is aware of this future plan beforehand. Welfare Mode We're introducing the new Welfare Mode (discussed in discord #polls) for Edgeville and Pure Zone! It's perfect for new players who struggle to compete with all of our powerful customs, and it also provides a way for veterans to enjoy PKing that leans more toward SpawnPK's classic side. Simply type ::welfare or ::welf to access the menu in-game! For more information on how it works, please view the screenshot if our informative in-game guide below Spoiler When in the Edgeville or Pure Zone wilderness with this mode toggled, you'll receive an icon above your head indicating that the mode is active. When you attempt to enter the wilderness via Edgeville or Pure Zone border, with restricted items you will receive an error prompt. This prompt will provide you with a visual guide of the restricted items that you brought with you. Additionally, in the ::welfare menu you can prompt this guide at any time (or just view the full white list) Killing players in welfare mode will grant you +5 welfare points and killing bots will grant +1. When you access the ::welfare/::welf menu you can access a shop, which has two tabs The first tab contains a general stock of items, that are mainly useful for players starting out & need essentials. The second tab contains a limited weekly stock of treasures and currencies (as well as re-purchasing of beginner items for newbies) The limited weekly stock is account based meaning other players do not take from your stock. Weekly Bonus Overhaul The weekly bonuses event has received an overhaul, which includes support for categories of tasks to complete. As of this update, we've included new tasks for welfare mode and for pure zone The original weekly tasks are still included, and are now under the "Global tasks" category Spoiler Additionally, we've included some other QoLs to the weekly bonuses system: Mythic donator rank now provides a reward level boost of +4 (rather than +3) as shown in the picture above You can now type ::weeklies or ::week to access the tasks directly, rather than having to navigate through the "Active events" menu. Collection Log Additions We've added some brand new collection logs that were not added before! As per usual, these entries are not retroactive unless the item is autokeep/untradeable and could only be obtained from the log source. Entries that are retroactive will be specified under the list. Bork Vorkath Vet'ion Wicked vet'ion Superior blood revenants Mystical tekton Blood tekton Corporeal beast Regular slayer store Blood diamond store Pet accessories are retroactively checked (enchanted pet accessory will count for all) Ancestral dye is retroactively checked (dyed pieces in your bank, for example, will be considered as an entry) In addition, we've made some other miscellaneous changes/improvements: The enchantment chest collection log will now consider 1 of the 3 enchanted god capes for all three entries. This will also be retroactively checked for players on log-in after this update's release Dragon-slayer gloves from the collection log reward shop now give +15% damage instead of +12.5% damage Well of Goodwill Overhaul The well of goodwill is hungrier than before, requiring more bags to fill it entirely. In return, it now cycles a random buff between a variety of brand new server-wide boosts: +10% drop rate bonus for 3 hours 2X slayer & blood-slayer points for 3 hours +25% chance for superior wilderness bosses for 3 hours 2X chance for statuettes and artifacts for 3 hours 2X hotspot points for 3 hours To be more specific on contribution changes: The well now requires 25K cash bags server-wide Increased the cash bag contribution to x100 cash bags (10B) Decreased points earned from 10 per contribution to 5 You now have the option to contribute a batch amount (5x, 10x, or 50x) Patch Notes (List #1) Below is our first list of gameplay changes, QoLs, and bug fixes.

Nonetheless, you are given a warning message when that's the case Bug Fixes: Fixed bug with PvP grand treasures not registering into the collection log Fixed issue with weapon stance memory when switching weapons. Selected weapon stances will now properly save on re-log, and will also be recognized correctly (stance selection will be remembered by weapon type as opposed to specific weapons) Fixed issue with balance spirit pet regen times Fixed bug with psycho mad hatter giving the same accuracy bonus as regular mad hatter Fixed bug with CTRL+T and ::tpsitem not working at certain parts of ::mythic zone Fixed the revenant cave pillars (agility shortcuts). You can now attack players across them with mage/range Fixed issue where dropping a pet while jumping over rev cave obstacles would cancel the jump Fixed noted dark totems not fully autokeeping on death Fixed kill recognition bug (you could kill someone at pure and teleport to edgeville to receive hotspot points for pure / edge, for example) Fixed / improved the gate jamming @ agility course Fixed bug where the radiant dye made dragon claws (or) autokeep Fixed bug where attacking Jungle Demon would not remove your Amnesty Fixed bug where blood looting bag would be cancelled by yoshi in Mage Arena (where yoshi is pretty much disabled) Fixed bug where clicking "nevermind" to pay the blood slayer cave limit reset would act as if you clicked "yes" Fixed bug where loot tracker was tracking PvP loot within the Hunger Games minigame All items that have a value of "0" are now auto-lost on death. Items such as Prize Keys, Grand Prize keys, Infernal Stone, Malevolent Clamp, etc. have always intentionally had a death value of "0" But in instances where a player has absolutely no other protected items (spawned loadouts, etc.) these items would still protect on death. The aforementioned items are now a guaranteed loss, even if you're protecting nothing else on death Loadout Systems Additions Loadouts now includes support for mini-pets and cosmetic slot items (icons, parrots, etc.) When cloning, the loadout will simply pickup on whichever mini-pet you have activated (or if you have none) To make room for this, we've slightly re-designed the layout of the side panel. Equipment slots will now show the slot icon when no item is present, and we've also updated the item icons so that all items should be visible.. In addition, you can now set the text color of loadouts, as well as picking an icon of your choice. This feature is available when re-naming existing loadouts, and also when creating a new one.
