We've just rolled out a small update
It's been quiet for a while. I've been very busy with school and I didn't have the time for the server I expected to have. Nevertheless, I finished this block and I now have a two week holiday again. This means I have some time to update the server, and this brings us the first update today..Improvements for when less people are online!
Because of the server's inactivity, we don't have that many players anymore. We've now done some things to make the server more fun, even when there's few people online. The biggest changes concerning this are:
- Capture rate is now a lot faster when there's fewer people online
- Gates have a lot less health when there's fewer people online
Gate repair!
I've also readded the old constructor-gate repair system. This should make constructors more useful and a lot more fun.
There's chests next to each gate that you can fill with wooden planks once a gate is broken, this will repair the gate once you filled the chest.
Swear filter!
People had been swearing a lot lately, so I added a small chat filter. It doesn't filter out everything, but should at least show people swearing isn't allowed and will make it more difficult for people to do so.
Archer balancing!
Another big problem on the server was that there were some really good archers, that people didn't stand a chance against, because they were so quick and good at aiming that you couldn't even get close without being shot. To counter this, arrows now deal a lot less damage when they are only shot less than 10 meters, but are stronger at high distances like 25+ meters. This makes archers better at what they're supposed to be good at, shooting from distances, and makes them weaker at bow spamming people up close.
There's still things I plan to do soon, like MVP, Maps, and Stats, but you'll have to wait a little longer for those. For now, enjoy the update!
