Battleground: Valley of the Artifacts

Enjoy your first preview at the Valley of the Artifacts Battleground!

--- Take a look at the album here

This BG will feature two teams fighting for control over three artifacts. The team who successfully controls more artifacts for longer will win the game. To control an artifact, players must stand underneath the artifact until it comes under their control. The more players standing under the artifact, the faster it will cap. For each artifact under control, a team will earn points over time until a value to be determined is reached. The first team to reach that value will win! Rewards and such are to be determined.

The coding process for the battleground is now underway, but I'm pretty excited about this, so I suspect I might have a beta version of this to be playable fairly quickly. As always, there will be tuning required and all that, so any rewards of any kind that could be permanent will not likely turn up until the BG is fully launched.

VotA is now available for more testing provided a minimum of 4 players queue for the battleground. You may queue for the battleground with /bg. There is still no /leave at present though.

Changelog:
  • You'll now respawn with gear again.
  • Wins, losses, kills, deaths, and caps are now being tracked
  • It now takes 30 seconds by yourself to capture an artifact
  • Score is calculated slower (match should last longer)
  • Upon match finish you should now return to where you were, rather than being warped back to the team lobby
  • Not 100% sure what caused the blowup last night though, so as always, dump your important gear and test at your own risk! Reasonably certain that shouldn't happen again though...

An update of the score more often would be nice and the issue with doors that I told crypt about needs looking at, but other than that, absolutely brilliant experience.

Come 1.5, we will use the scoreboard to keep chat spam down.

Sorry, Opyc. The Black Market forums are elsewhere.
