First a Races update, now a Hunger Games update, what timeline are we living in? Basically, 2024 has been all about improving our gamemodes on the server across the board, this is including ones that aren’t as frequently updated!
This Hunger Games update has a lot of major changes to shake up how the game is played and when it’s played! These changes include lootpool changes, new maps and some system changes!
New Maps for New Playercounts!
That’s right, this Hunger Games update adds new maps! It’s not just one or two maps either, there is five. Basically, these maps were added to allow for lower playercount lobbies to play well in Hunger Games!
Furthermore, with the addition of these new maps, the minimum playercount for Hunger Games lobbies to open has been reduced from 4 to 2!
Also, the picture above is just one of our new maps, the rest you’ll have to see for yourself! However, their names and authors are listed in the changelog below.
Finally, as a reminder, If you also have cool map ideas and want to fully envision, you can always get started by applying for Mapedit on our Discord server! You may even see your own map in the next Hunger Games update!
Changelog
System Changes
Hunger Games now supports lobby sizes of 2-3 players!
- Basically, this means you will only need at least one other player to duke it out in Hunger Games!
- However, new maps have also been made specifically for the smaller lobbies!
Also, when loading into matches, players will be webbed for a few seconds.
- Basically, this is to allow for players to gather their bearings a bit as a match starts.
The following changes have been made to when you get a kill!
- You will now earn 1 Penguin Point per kill!
- Also, you will receive a heart as well as the regeneration, honey and endurance buffs.
- Basically, this means an instant 20hp plus 15hp overtime upon getting a kill.
- Furthermore, your health and mana will be directly increased, Life & Mana Crystals will no longer drop.
- Basically, this is to prevent accidentally trashing them or them not dropping entirely.
Furthermore, the Damage Nebula buff applied to players has been received a nerf.
- It has been changed from tier 2 to tier 1, overall reducing the damage everyone deals a bit.
Finally, the gas event debuffs have received duration adjustments.
