Server Maintenance 3/4

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 —

We'll be taking down Exteel at 1PM CST (7PM GMT) for server maintenance and to apply a brand new patch. Capture the Flag (CTF) mode and a bunch of other goodies will be introduced. Update: The patch is live!

Here are the patch notes:


Login Timer

The login timer has been extended from 30 seconds to a minute and a half. If you continue to have additional problems logging into the game PLEASE CONTACT SUPPORT!

To contact our technical support staff go to http://support.plaync.com and click on the “Ask A Question” tab at the bottom of the page. All login errors can be discussed on the forums but please note that we do not provide official technical support via the forums.


New Game Mode – Capture the Flag

Available on two maps: Simulation Area (2v2, 3v3, 4v4 or 8v8) and V Hill (8v8 or 4v4)

Note: We are already anticipating some additional changes to CTF. Currently flag carriers experience a decrease in movement by 30%, a decrease in boost movement by 35%, and a decrease in EN 50%. In the future flag carriers will only experience a decrease in EN by 50% with no other debuffs.

These changes are already in the planning stages so they hopefully *knocks on wood* are not that far from going live. We feel that these changes will help reduce the number of possible “stalemate” matches.

Your feedback on balance is appreciated!
