Hello everyone 🥰
The development team have implemented several changes to improve game balance. While we understand that players may have differing opinions about these changes, we believe that they are necessary for the long-term success and sustainability of the game. We value the feedback of our community and will continue to monitor the impact of these changes.
Gameplay Balance Changes
Game Mode: Battle Royale changes
In order to enhance the frenetic and unpredictable nature of Battle Royale matches, we have made the following changes to address issues of slow or comfortable gameplay.
We have reduced the time it takes for cubes to start falling from the sides of the map to just 4 seconds after the start of the game, down from 60 seconds previously. Similarly, the sudden death feature now activates 25 seconds after the map has shrunk, rather than 40 seconds beforehand. We believe that these adjustments will bring back the excitement and thrill of this game mode, as it was intended to be.
Powerup Drop Rates
Powerups now drop at an equal chance of 20%, when a crate drops loot. Each crate has an 80% chance of dropping loot.
Powerup: Damage (20% chance of dropping)
Powerup: Speed (20% chance of dropping)
Powerup: Health (20% chance of dropping)
Once a powerup drops, there is a 20% chance of it becoming a Golden Powerup, which raises the quality of the powerup by a substantial margin.
Star Drop Rates
We have made adjustments to the star system in order to address imbalances that were causing players to consistently reach Star Power 3 too quickly. With these changes, we hope to make the process of achieving Star Power 3 more enjoyable and rewarding.
Crates will now drop a minimum of 2 stars and a maximum of 3 stars, as long as they contain loot.
Event Discovery
We have adjusted the “new event” bomb reward up to 2 Bombs, up from previous 1 Bomb per Event Discovery.
Animal Base Stat Balance Changes
In response to player feedback regarding the overpowered state of tank melee damage, we have made the following adjustments to the animals stats. We are committed to continuously improving the balance of the game through ongoing updates based on player feedback. This is not the final iteration of our stat balancing journey, as finding the right balance takes time and ongoing player input.
