Hey everyone. Lots of moving pieces with our development team blowing up in size. There are a ton of features coming to Badlion before the holiday season. Can't wait to share more with you guys in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile Capture The Flag (CTF) has entered open beta on Badlion. Everyone has loved it from what I have heard so far. We are working out the kinks and finishing off some of the competitive features for it. Full release is planned for next week where we will wipe the stats and turn on the website leaderboards.

In other news we are preparing to change datacenters soon. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks our North American, European, and Australian data centers will all change. There will be a more stabilized infrastructure for Badlion going forward as we will be working more closely with our data centers. OVH is great in some ways, but they are too big of a company for us in other ways.

New Features

- [CTF] CTF Beta is now live. Hop onto NA, EU, or SA to play today! (Might add to Australia if it can sustain enough players)

Upcoming

- UHC 6.0 (in beta testing)
- Internationalization Support on Badlion (German, French, etc all in game and on the website)
- Achievement System
- New Shop (Getting rid of Buycraft)
- New Game Modes
- Network Currency/Boosters
- New Cosmetics more friendly with PvP

Tweaks

- [SG] Inflated everyone's rank as the wrong initial MMR value was used in our systems.
- [SG] Tweaked the win/loss point system so MMR's should spread out more now on the SG ladder.
- [SG FFA] Removed leather leggings from the chests
- [SG FFA] Added soulbound items
- [Clans] Now you can see online/offline members when using "/clan list" in game
- [Website] Turned off autocomplete for the two factor fields (would autocomplete username/password on chrome a lot)
- [Website] Added manual authentication code for 2 factor system if you do not have a device that can scan the QR code
- [Website] Reverted forum appearance for Desktop view (it was never supposed to change, only mobile was)
- [Website] Now saves whether you were last using Trending/Threads/Recent Threads/Recent Posts on the forums
- [Website] Removed post count from appeal pages (wasn't supposed to go there)
- [Website] Added about page and twitter links back into the footer
- [Mainframe] Added more descriptive error messages for when you are trying to accept a duel and you are not permitted to

Bug Fixes

- [SG] Fixed an issue with the tab list not updating kills as you got them.
- [ArenaPvP] Fixed the message of "In queue for: " where you would appear to not be queued up and had to relog to get the items back in your inventory
- [ArenaPvP] Fixed horses not being removed on death as you went into spectator mode
- [Website] Fixed anchor links to work properly again (such as jumping to a post)
- [Website] Fixed some styling issues with drop downs not rendering properly
- [Website] Fixed issue with group colors not showing on the forums
- [Website] Fixed the Badlion Bot profile image on the appeal system
- [Website] Fixed breadcrumb issues (the blue links underneath Players Online)
- [Website] Fixed 3v3 ArenaPvP drop downs for the ladders page
- [Mainframe] Improved the server spawning system to get frozen less (should help Australia out)

So happy CTF is finally out, and popular. I'm glad you guys chose to take time and make it good rather than rushing.

I am curious as to when NA will become NA central?

Posted on 15 October 2016 - 07:13 AM

Love the SG FFA changes!

Looking great! Are we meant to expect any CTF type game modes with blocks/bridging any time soon? I feel like OCN has left a major gap for that.

Posted on 15 October 2016 - 08:23 AM

I thought CTF would be disaster, but I definitely think OCN players should like this even more without a doubt

Also fix the respawning bug in SG; if you die by f&s you respawn sometimes

Posted on 15 October 2016 - 10:35 AM

Woooooo. SG FFA finally has soulbound items.

Posted on 15 October 2016 - 10:40 AM

Can we fix the ffa spawn glitch in Arena PVP?

Posted on 15 October 2016 - 10:52 AM

Loving CTF, great work!

Whoooop

haip-!

Nice \o/

Posted on 15 October 2016 - 11:33 AM

For CTF there should be a gamemode where you bridge like OCN. Love it so far though and can't wait for future updates.

@HuzLord
@SuchSpeed

Posted on 15 October 2016 - 01:42 PM

Sounds great!

Posted on 15 October 2016 - 02:29 PM

As always great job!

I don't know about anyone else, but the flags lag me out so bad. Even my friends with good computers go from 500 fps to below 60 when there's too many flags on the screen. Could you maybe add a command to disable the flags, or change the flag to make it less laggy?

Posted on 15 October 2016 - 03:13 PM

I would much rather prefer you keep the news about announcement of new game modes and the release of them as short from eachother from possible so I don't see a shitload of hype months before actual release.
