Onto fixing a more controversial event, lockdowns! Right now, lockdowns usually just result in people logging out and events in the server should not be able to be simply bypassed by leaving the server altogether, and as a result lockdowns haven’t been very rewarding for those who do participate.
To tweak this, next map will both have a much higher volume of movement rares to be obtained to assist with reaching safety, Lockdown countdown will last 30 seconds, and there will be some changes to the Lockdown event to make it more difficult to avoid by simply closing the game.
If you are in a pvp area when the Lockdown countdown ends, you will have “Loot: $10000” displayed above your head, and will gain an additional $2,000 five times before the lockdown ends. If you hit another player you will steal $100 in loot from them, and if you kill them you gain all of their loot money. If at any point you go into a safe area (cells/spawn) you lose all of your loot. If you remain with your loot in a pvp area until the lockdown ends, you gain all of that loot money! The amount of money you get from lockdowns will be increased later on in the map.
Logging out during the lockdowns is now disabled, and you will leave an NPC logger for 45 seconds if you decide to log out during the countdown or event! If a player tries to use /logout out during a Lockdown event or countdown, /logout will be disabled, and they will instead be prompted to use /safety.
/safety is a new feature that can be used during the lockdown countdown, that will teleport a player safely to spawn! For people who are less than rank Savage, you can use this once every 6 hours to avoid having to participate or run away in the event of a lockdown. Keep in mind you can only use this during the lockdown countdown, you can’t use /safety once the lockdown event countdown is over! Savages and every rank thereafter have a decreased cooldown to use /safety again.
For one final sneak peek of something completely unrelated coming to next map, what do you think this is for?
That’s it for now, stay tuned for more news on Prison Map 8!
