Hello everyone, this will be the first developer log in over a month due to MasterGBerry being too occupied with the upcoming Badlion Premium launch to do them regularly. I will be doing these logs every week from now on.


We have performed a very large migration of the majority of our services to new infrastructure. We had unfortunate problems with our new setup that we have since resolved. Our new infrastructure has since improved the stability and reliability of our existing services and will help us meet future demands. Read more about it at https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/143412


We have announced our largest project yet: Badlion Premium! The majority of the development team is hard at work on the system behind Badlion Premium and although we can't reveal the specifics of what we are working on, you can find out more about Badlion Premium at:

As an update on the new EU servers, we have received our new servers, but the datacenter had set the servers up incorrectly so we have to wait until they fix the issues and will keep you guys updated on this. The goal is to have the EU servers up this following week.


Some features of the upcoming UHC 6.0 system has been leaked, read about it at https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/141416


Work has begun on the new ArenaPvP S15 system that will be using some technology that we have already created for Badlion Premium to ensure that season 15 will be what season 13 (and 14) was supposed to be for a lot of us. We are scrapping our current ArenaPvP infrastructure and rebuilding it from scratch to get rid of all the problems that the current season has. We are trying to push ArenaPvP S15 out as fast as we can while ensuring that all the pieces are being done properly so that we can get it out around the holiday season.

Can we fix the TP for FFA's? It teleports people on top of each other. And the TP for the first 5 seconds, just have the 5 seconds like usual but don't teleport back to the start

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 01:59 AM

Yay! Finally

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 02:09 AM

Please fix the ArenaPvP Party FFA spawn.. it's been too much

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 04:20 AM

At this point it's just going to be fixed in Season 15

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 04:21 AM

Are you talking about the spawn teleports teleporting everyone on the same spot?

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 04:30 AM

Cool stuff :D

Is it me or is badlion's connection inconsistent?
I keep getting ping spikes.

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 08:14 AM

Finally 1.11 support OMG I can't wait to pvp on it!!!!!

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 08:59 AM

Hype!

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 09:05 AM

Is the Season 15 spawn going to be changed? Because despite the size and build quality of the current one, it is evident that most of the players find it very unaesthetic and lethargic. I apologise for the argumentum ad populum but I think it is necessary here.

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 09:13 AM

What's new in smellychat 2.0?

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 09:56 AM

He is just trying to piss me off.

Posted on 26 November 2016 - 09:57 AM

It's just some internal storage changes, nothing on the end user.

Yes we are changing the spawn in season 15.

I understand you're trying to cater to the newest mc versions but i find it unnecessary trying to support version 1.11 since no one really pvps with it, it's more of a survival update.

It really did not take us much work to do. Not much changed in terms of the protocol. Probably a day of work at max.
