Hi. There has been too little transparency recently from our development team about our upcoming plans. We want to formally announce a bunch of release dates in the months of August and September to let everyone know what we are working on. The past month has been very busy for me with my day job, so I have not had the time or effort to commit my full to Badlion. I now have some more time to work on things again.

Planned release dates and what each entails:

August 15th 2015

New Appeal System. The new appeal system will be released this coming weekend.

- Ability to search through appeals based on username, uuid, or status of an appeal
- It will automatically handle anyone that pleads guilty on an appeal and assign them an unban date.
- If someone pleads not guilty than the person responsible for the ban will automatically be tagged
- If the person is no longer staff it will automatically be escalated to senior staff
- Appeals can be escalated to senior staff if denied. Please note if you escalate an appeal and it is denied again your punishment length will increase.
- Lots of other logic branches for handling appeals (mostly internal garbage).

August 22nd 2015

We will be ending Season 1 of UHC

- There will be a special FFA game hosted on the 22nd of August by sluttycow for players who have at least 2 wins this season for the "Champion of Season 1." https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/70360
- We will add a seasons drop down to the profile pages for stats for different seasons.
- We will add a seasons drop down to the UHC Stats pages
- New UHC Game Modes will be added with Season 2
- MiniUHC will also have stats reset with the same systems, and be publically available

August 23rd 2015

EDIT: We are going to push out the following changes tomorrow as we finalize the initial pets/particles.

SG Stats/Hidden Rating

- We will be giving statistics to unranked SG like we have for UHC. You will see number of chests opened, kills, etc (Only positive statistics will show)
- There will be a SG leaderboard with a hidden rating system. You will not be able to see your rating, but you will know your rank on the leaderboard
- Statistics will only show positive stats (no deaths, no damage taken etc)

Pets/Particles

- Pets and Particles will be made available in the Hub Lobby, UHC Lobby, and SG Lobby.
- They will be deactivated/turned off when a SG Match or a UHC Match begins.
- Donators will get 1 free pet, Donator+ will get 2 free pets, Lion will get 3 free pets
– These pets are pre-determined (no random selection)
- All pets and particles will be available for purchase on http://store.badlion.net/ as individual, or packs.

September 19th 2015

ArenaPvP Season 10

- Typical Rating Reset
- RedRover being built into the game. Similar to the /duel system
- /party ffa will be a special arena game mode
- New SkyWars ladder for 1v1/2v2/3v3 arena fights
- Build UHC will have a 3v3 ladder
- Possibility of another ladder too (still working on ideas)
- Remove Tank/Buff Soup Ladders
- Special Mega Skywars Event
- More advanced anti-skybasing system for BuildUHC
- There will be other balance changes and more information when the reset gets closer.

September 26th 2015

Case System

- Earn currency by playing on Badlion Network. ArenaPvP, SG, UHC, etc
- Buy cases in the hub lobby that give random perks/effects for various servers on the network
- Buy cases (more expensive) that are specifically aimed towards ArenaPvP, UHC, SG, etc
- Some perks include extra ranked matches, air drops in SG, picking a MiniUHC game mode, SkyWars Kits, etc
- Cases will also be available for purchase on http://store.badlion.net/ in addition to the in-game currency
- Donator ranks will get increased currency multipliers (not yet 100% determined)

SkyWars Release

- Special Lobby system for SkyWars (You cannot join games directly from the Hub Lobby)
- 8 and 16 man maps will be released on initial release
- FFA and To2 will be available
- Kit system will be earned through playing the game (like Call of Duty) with the case system above. More information from Archybot later

That was a very long post, and holy crap did I just realize how much work we have to do over the next month and a half.

I hope you guys are just as excited for the upcoming stuff as I am :)
