Patchnotes 02/16/2018 - Brassx - 02-16-2018

Additions
  • Added Challenge Scrolls, these little scrolls provide a series of challenges, riddles, and puzzles for rewards. There's also unique loot and suffixes you can only obtain from these. These were completely re-written from my NTG version by Tobias, and he did a great job. Everyone who plays in the next 24 hours will get 1 free Easy challenge scroll (untradeable) to try and complete. Once you complete a scroll, you will be given a reward chest of that scroll's difficulty. These are stackable, but non-tradeable, and can be opened to reveal your reward:

    It's worth noting that you will have a chance to receive a scroll of the next difficulty from these too!

    You can obtain tradeable scrolls post-round TTT at a 1 in 24 for any ONE person, on top of that its a 11/128 to be a medium, and 5/128 to be a hard. (Not per-person, 1 in 24 for it to roll then find a random player to get the scroll).
  • Added a new TTT Minigame - "Last Man Standing - Sword Edition".  This is a melee-based  "Battle Royale" minigame, in which a safe zone spawns on the map, and gradually shrinks, dealing damage to anyone outside of it, until only one remains. (There is also a 1 in 5 chance for this round to be low-gravity!)

    This uses brand new Melee mechanics I've written to make it much more skill-based than normal Melee weapons.
    You all start with this Custom melee weapon, and with these mechanics, aside from shitbox fixes(it uses a hull trace), you can press ATTACK2 to block, but it will only block during a brief window. if you successfully block your opponents attack, they will be staggered for a brief time, leaving you an opening for an attack.

    If you're hit you are briefly slowed. Hits to the head also do more damage.
  • Added a brand new custom in-game download system, and removed all loading screen downloads aside from maps. It downloads our content while you play, and gives you a progress on the download at the bottom of your screen. If you have limited data, you can disable the download system at anytime via !stopdownload, and re-enable it with !enabledownloads. Or in !settings. If you disable this, you WILL be missing new content!
  • Added a setting in !settings to disable the "Hold to Remove" option on items.
  • Added ~15 maps.
  • Added ~20 Playermodels.

Changes
  • Worm queen, Castle, and Grims' cooldowns has been reduced to 6 hours.
  • Added a cooldown on Morgoth's swing after teleporting.
  • The minimum player count for Bloodwynd, and castle have been reduced to 2 players.
  • Spider Queen, and Dragon rounds have been made more common, and removed from the "Averaging" minigame system.
  • Highly optimized data streaming to make loading your inventory and large amounts of data much more efficient. (It reduced packet size of a Backpack full of items from 91k to 9k)
  • Dimension crystals now give 5 rounds every 4 seconds instead of 10.

I'll also constantly be adding new challenges to the system, so watch out for that.

Along with doing random challenge scroll giveaways every once in a while.

Massive +1 to the challenge scrolls

I'm going to have so much fun doing attempting duo castles

So that means VIPs will have a 4.5 hour cooldown for those events right?

No. This is an update before the eco update. This is what the beta server was testing.
