Some small changes and bug fixes in preperation for our first official PVP Season.

• Once you have fought a rated battle against another player you will not be given that target again for an hour. This may result in no targets being available at times (no cost is deducted when this is the case).
• Finding a combat target now costs 500 gold minimum, even if you don't currently have a target.
• Players will no longer receive unexpected costs when searching for opponents, or errors saying they did not have enough gold for a search.
• Settings will now automatically save once you confirm you wish to opt-in or out of PVP Seasons to avoid confusion of players forgetting to click the 'Save Settings' button.
• Spell Breaker and Spell Leech have been fixed to once again not work on 'Special' buffs from potions.

The new Season will commence at 12:00 server time today!

A step in the right direction, Now you need to consider changing the find player formula. I notice you only find players +-100 or something levels from you and very rarely +-500. I think this is what it should be personally. You should have a equal random chance to attack anyone in your league. You also have lets say a 25% chance to attack someone in a league lower than you, but they have to be +-100 of your level

Also if we were effected by the spell leech/buff glitch can we contact support to get them reinstated?

The current formula should stretch out further now it excludes targets you have attacked in the last hour. We will continue to monitor it.

wow, I cant understand how this would work out in any way.
At least it was some fun seeing the players going on a hit streak. Now you are telling us that its basicly working like the old ladder system? Just with a total random target selection? Theres already few lvls at my lvl range who opted in. If the lvl 2000+ want to massacre themselves, let them, theres no xp loss anyway. Youre taking now away the dynamic aspect of this "ladder".
With 1 hour waiting, it will just end up being dominated by those who have now not only the most stamina to spare, but also those who have most time being awake. 
 
 
I cant seem to see how this season is anything about pvp. At least put in xp loss, if youre crippling the dynamics.

can you please define what these 'Special' buffs from potions are?

i sent a ticket in exactly when it happened the 30th of june and i haven't got a response. I think he is still busy and i am waiting haha. Awesome! the attack formula was a big issue! Glad HCS is listening and changing pvp system. Should be a lot more fun now .

Anything that is in an "epic" chest

Exactly. Because if "special" refers to the whole skill tree it does not sound optimal as I think buffs like LD or golden shield should be susceptible to SB/SL unless they are from donation/global/gift pots. example: potions like dragon egg giving golden shield 250 should NOT be untouchable in my opinion.

The medals will be updated around the same time the rewards are given out

Please change the gvg part. Why do i have to watch a drop down list with names i cant hit? Im level 1200 so i have no use for level 1099 players or below. We got a couple of gvg going on so i have to scout 200 names to find those few targets, and then some of them are inactive for 7 days +!. This annoying part really waste alot of time. Please make it show the names YOU can hit so you sort out the outranged people and inactives and whatever.

We're hopefully going to get that updated today

PLEASE!

 

I tell you its really annoying to find that ONE target merged with 100 other names. Please also remove guilds that are finished so only people that is available for attack is shown.

Any word on fixing the bounty board exploit?

As your ticket has stated, there's no exploit. It's operating as intended.

[maxdragon]

hi hoof, I really hate the new system, is not even pvp for me anymore but that is my opinion

 

my question to you: can you please explain why there are bounties in pvp season if the attacks do not take xp?

if the attacks do not take xp then they should not be able to get a bounty too or what do you think?
