AtmosFear Changelog March 2020

One big, juicy changelog with all major and minor changed made over the month. There is a TLDR section on the top if you don’t care or are too busy to read all of it.



TLDR:

  • The server was renamed to AtmosFear. This was done because of the number of servers that are using the WarZone name already. For you, this means you will have to re-favorite the server.
  • Mass drops now run every hour, real time.
  • You can now stay offline on the server for 7 days before your stuff is purged automatically.
  • Bots now have outfits more suitable to their surroundings and all have a distinctive look.
  • Bgrade no longer expires after 30 seconds. Set it and forget it.
  • Activity reward has been increased by 250%. You will get this reward for every 15 minutes spent in game.
Finally, I want to dedicate a separate part to the bosses. I’ve overhauled most of their stats to make them more deadly, as well as added 2 new ones: The Assassins and The Marauders. Those 2 are designed to not be a solo boss.

The hunter:
- Health: 400 > 600
- Roam range: 100 > 50
- Weapon drop chance: 10 > 20
- Aggro range: 100m > 200m
- Damage %: 40 > 50


The Juggernaut:
- Health: 1200 > 7000
- Roam range: 40 > 50
- Weapon drop chance: 10 > 20
- Aggro range: 40m > 200m
- Damage %: 75 > 85


The Assassins:
- Health: 400 > 500
- Roam range: 50 > 100


The Marauders:
- Health: 800 > 3000
- Accuracy: 60 > 80
- Aggro range: 150m > 200m

FOR THOSE INTERESTED WHAT I’VE BEEN UP TO THIS MONTH.

  • Added new outfits to all bots to make them look unique and have them blend in with their surroundings more.

  • Server info has been completely redone to reflect available commands on AtmosFear.

  • Started Rebranding everything to "AtmosFear".
  • Raidbase Purchase was removed from the store until the plugin development stabilises.
  • Airdrop was removed from the store. You can buy airdrops normally again.
  • Changed WarZone name To AtmosFear due to the number of servers with a similar name.

  • The 4th entry to the boss table has just been completed.
  • Bots will no longer respawn at night to prevent overpopulating the server.
  • Bots no longer (possibly) drop weapons from both their belt and their hands. Chance to drop their weapon has been increased to 20%

  • Activity reward has been increased by 250%. This will be rewarded for every 15 minutes of gameplay.
  • Stack sizes for food have been reduced to 1000.

  • The loot multiplier from military crates has been balanced to match other crates.
  • The safe zone is now truly safe. Bots that happen to wander inside the area should no longer target players. you can get there quickly by typing /town.
  • The scrap shop in the safe zone is blocked off to avoid abuse. This will happen every wipe as this shop was designed for x5.
  • The second recycler plugin was added for the new Donator ranks.
