and i thought the bleating belongs to the mating ritual of the auctioneers

 

[juicy001]

[NEVERDIE]

Awesome to see the event system back.

With the Radar options a NEW Era is born.

 

[JohnCapital]

Land areas can been radar-free!

Combine that with PVP, and some VERY nice events can occur now.

 

[ALEXANDER]

What the hell is the option align sat nav with camera ?

And also it looks like there is a setting for max health allowed, so you can set up events for players below a certain health level only.

Ah yes. Forgot that part too.

 

[bass]

Everything is fine but... Hell no, EU World is not ready for a search in auction yet. We gotta wait next generation technology

Keep on MA!

 

[PopFuzz]

keep up the good work MA!

Could be I read it as setting a max health so that even if u have more HP u will be capped?

I hope it is alike that it be fucking awesome to have opalo events with everyone at 1 hp..

 

[kingjehu]

There is a FPC PvP event on the board when you log in... LA 51... great prizes...


Wish I could actually PvP..

 

[jdegre]

What the hell is the option align sat nav with camera ?

the radar can be aligned with your avatar (that's how it was before) or with the camera (in 3rd person view), so now if you click and drag the mouse wheel, the radar turns with the camera.

I think that's less likely, but possible. We'll find out soon enough.

 

[SnowLeopard]

Can someone who's been in-game already start a thread in the Event section detailing all the changes? What are the chances there's a bit more than what's listed?

 

[Executor]

Deleted post.

I'd also like to know if the event leaderboard now shows more than just the Top3 players ? Would be great!

 

[Leaf Arwen]

Hm.. nice i think

/Arwen

 

[Selene B]

Fixed distance parameter for teleport, revive and death sound effects

kind of leaves me confused here.. second part is clearly Sound related fix but first part? Could it really be teleport accuracy fix for hilli areas?

Looks like much better Changelog than last one (remember kitchen sink fixed???-come on)

 

[AlphaGeek]

I just thought it was the Scottish National Anthem on streaming audio.

 

[Snowwolf]

dam where did the sheep go lol...pvp event with all caped at 1 and then oppalos...be nice



great we can do events again....zaps set some up will ya

How about i just add a few here that i noticed....

Prize options:
Positions paid are now 1st,2nd and 3rd.
Accumulate ammo/deterioration.
Accumulate loot (this could be lucrative).


Restrictions can be...
No ranged weapons
No melee weapons
No FAPS
HP limit
No radar

Winners decided by:
Most Votes.
Most pvp points.
Highest loot
Most loot.

Also you can join events from the global event list rather than actually going to the LA marker (rightclick/main/event list)

And you can set up your own stream for them now by adding the stream url to the event manager which I assume will play it in game which is a nice touch.

thats just a few I can remember off the top of my head.
