DEVELOPMENT - Changelog (1-04-2019)

[Kumo 401]

Before a month of hard work goes towards the expansion (here), the past few weeks the development team has been putting in hard work to keep the imperial server fresh and new with content for everyone to enjoy. Please all the new changes below.

Content Added

• Microtransactions!
  • After many, many requests from users we have decided to finally add more micro transactions into the donation store, please contact a staff member in game after purchasing to receive the product. Some of the micro transactions are listed below. (If they are not on the store right now they should be up later today)
    • Credits may be bought for a ratio of $1 - 500 credits
    • Points may be bought for a ratio of $1 - 1000 points
    • You may buy permanent guns that will stick to your character regardless of your role including
      • Cycler Rifle - $40
      • RPS-6 - $50
      • Star Wars Laser - $100
    • Permanent Health Boosts (stackable 5 times up to 500 extra health)
      • 50 HP - $5
      • 100 HP - $10
      • 250 HP - $25
    • Mission Skips
      • Skip any mission completely for $10 per mission (whole mission not just level)
    • Promotions - you must complete the required test to be promoted after purchasing, you will not be refunded for failing.
      • CL-1 > CL-2 - $10
      • CL-2 > CL-3 - $25
      • CL-3 > CL-4 - $40
      • CL-4 > CL-5 - $80
      • CL-5 > CL-6 - $120
      • CL-6 > ALL ACCESS - $200 and Management Decision
• Speech Bubble
  • When someone is typing a speech bubble should appear above their head, this is for those people without microphones as it can be hard to tell when people are typing

Content Updated/Changed

•  Precaching
  • We have heard your words about precache instability and so the following changes will be made in hopes of reducing the load on the server
    • Precache time will be extended to 1 hour
    • Each precache will occur every 5 seconds
• Balance Changes
  • We have been working closely with the balance team in order to refine the combat aspect of the server to ensure that events are fair for all.
    • ID-10 Dio
      • Base Health increased from 200 to 400 to reflect his armour capabilities
      • Added Bacta Grenade to reflect his already-existent bacta injector
      • Added the new "Droid Minigun" which has roughly 600 RPM I believe with 20 damage per bullet.
      • Area Access clearance changed to All Access as he is a surveillance droid
    • Scatter Shotgun
      • The scatter shotgun will be buffed to 75 damage as it is rather underpowered
    • Sith
      • Lightsaber Damage from 25 to 100 to reflect a real lightsaber
      • Force Leap can now noclip you through walls when stood directly next to them
      • Force Heal now heals roughly 10x the original healing, and may be used in combat.
    • Event Characters
      • All event characters regardless of the event masters event will receive 200 armour to compensate for the mass amount of troopers, this should give them more of a fighting chance and smooth events out a lot.
      • Default event model changed from ST to Palpatine
• Mission Progress
  • After many months of testing the experimental system of missions, the mission system will be wiped tomorrow. Good job to everyone who prestiged this time around
  • Mission Completion is made roughly 5-10x harder to make prestiging a privilege
  • In line with the Microtransaction update you must pay $25 to prestige

Content Removed

• Climb Swep
  • After a long discussion with all of management we have decided to finally remove climb swep, it is clearly a break of role play and has no use on the server
• Recruits
  • Recruitment slows down the process and roughly 70% of all players joined are still recruit as they never finish training due to boredom, for this reason players will join straight into the 6th Army Brigade, and more regular training within the regiment will be done
• Crashes
  • Thanks to player and community feedback we've decided to remove crashes completely from our servers in an effort to increase player satisfaction and immersion. This feature wasn't working as intended, its sad to see it go but its for the better.

This will also be the first collaborative changelog in light of the new changes, feel free to comment any thoughts or suggestions below

In an ever changing industry with server and maintenance prices increasing this is the reality of games nowadays.

Sure, that the real reason why and not that Uber-eats prices went up

[Hyperion 242]

As long as the donate able CL's are controlled I like these changes, the large buff to light sabers will definitely decrease the time of duels take.
