Wipe changelog 02/07/2020
Good evening Wastelanders!
It is the time of the month again where we get a new patch including a forced wipe. However, this one is super exciting one! The long awaited modular cars are in! There is a few information you should know about them though.
The cars will be spawning along the road the same as the gyrocopters did until now with three different types of chassis and can be modified with 12 different modules. The default spawn is 60 vehicles in whole map, so this way we would like to warn you, that there is no need to hoard them. Be fair and do NOT get more than one car per solo or clan! The vehicles will decay within 8 hours outside the base and within 36 hours inside if not repaired.
The gyrocopters will stop spawning around the road and can be purchased ONLY in the new Bandit camp addition. Personal minicopters for our paying players should remain unchanged but please be patient. The update might break quite a few things and we will work hard on fixing everything as soon as possible!
Last but not least, be really careful where you disconnect. The safe zones (Bandit camp in our case and Outpost in case of other servers) will now kill the sleepers within 20 minutes. There is a bit of a place to rejoin back in case of crash, but it shouldn’t become your spot to sleep over the night!
Map changes
There are minor changes coming to the map as well with the new update. The default size of 4250 (which is size we are currently using) will be increased to 4500. We are still a little bit unsure if the custom map will be working properly but we do have a good hope that everything will go smoothly. In case the map would fail, we will be using the Hapis Island as a backup!
Rando added some interesting spots to explore again! We would like to present you a brand new monument with some nice fear factor and top tier loot! Kapustin Yar monument is quite dark guarded by bunch of angry scientists with a radiation zone.
Since we no longer use the Outpost, we will be adding the new vending machines to the Car shop monument so you don’t need to be scared that they would be missing around!
The new map includes:
- 3 build caves
- 2 build bunkers
- 1 large ice cave
- more SAMs around the Deathmatch Arena
We would like to encourage you to check our Discord to be sure, that you vote for the new map on time! Rando does mod the map which has the most votes in total, so if you chose a map without your favorite monument, it won’t be included in the map! Be sure that you check the suggested maps really carefully so that there are no more misunderstandings in the future!
Development
Operator slowly starts working on fixes again which we are really thankful for! We finally could pick up the long term work on the heli plugin. Unfortunately, we are not able to bring it in this wipe just yet. We would like to rather take enough of time to be sure that everything works just properly. There is already some progress visible though!
One of quite important changes is building limit. Until now you were able to build unlimited without the TC which was also really favorite exploit to use. This will no longer be possible since now. Operator has implemented a function where you need to add a TC if you want to build larger than one foundation. This way the plugin doesn’t lose the track and it should no longer happen that the bases become oversized.
New limit
At the same time we did step down to the decision to implement a limit of tool cupboards to 10 per player! It hasn’t been an easy decision as we really don’t like to limit anyone, however we feel like it becomes really important matter including popular land claiming. At the same time we would like to warn you to NOT pull the water over part of the map to get it in your base. This will be seen as land claiming as well! If you want to use the water system, build your base near the water source!
New BotSpawn
The BotSpawn (plugin controlling the Zombies in the map) has been updated. It includes also some nice features. This way we did add also a locked crate to the Zombie boss! Once you kill the boss, the locked crate will drop with a timer of 5 minutes to give you some extra loot.
One of the harbors missed the Zombies in general. These will be back again!
New PlayerChallenges
We would like to thank to Weed for his nice creation and initiative to help the server in his own way. He has edited the PlayerChallenges for you (available as /pc in the game). The unused categories are fully gone to make the list shorter but at the same time some of the ones you were used to are gone or changed as well to enhance the performance a little bit.
Most structures build has been fully removed due the large spam of foundations or other building pieces only to level up and maintain the tag which can be seen as exploit. Spamming the foundations is also a possible danger for the server and might result in a crash.
The Explosives thrown has been changed into C4 thrown to prevent similar issue as the structures – many players throwing endless amount of any explosives only to maintain the tag but also creating danger of server overload.
The challenges will be available also with some nice fresh tags!
Other changes
- Added all suggested skins but also some other new skins in least suggested categories (wooden and HQM double door, fridges, lockers, bear rugs or wooden door). In total there is available around 140 new skins in the /skinbox!
- Skinbox has now three pages of skins instead of two
- AK has been removed from the /s to start a process of the RP shop changes.
- Minor loot changes
- Rarities of new commonly dropped items have been changed. Items such as igniters should drop much less and become much more rare! This will give place to the components and other more important items.
- Added horse dung to the personal airdrops. There is a chance to get in between of 5 – 10 dung in the personal airdrop.
- Added 1 horse dung into the daily kit
- New Starter kit
- Other small unimportant tweaks and changes rather in the backstage
