Every day on EU (8PM) and NA (4AM) we have this event running.
Please type ev:start:fps / ev:list
Reward & Gameplay
The type is “Win, if you get an specific item in your inventory”.
And the item here is the “Zirax Shotgun”.
More info:
It requires at least 10 players up to 20.
We recommend highly to equip your best armor you have
You get the lost RP for dying back at the end
Don’t forget the ev:restart command
But watch out! Only 2 Zirax Shotguns are available in the arena!
But if 1 or 2 players have this item in the inventory and the time ended you get this reward:
1 million credits
100 Reputation Points
All Epic / Enhanced Weapons + 1 Epic Armor
Good luck and please leave your Feedback about it!
New (monster) HWS EU Server
As mentioned in Discord yesterday, I went ahead and bought a new server - a really big Black Friday deal.
I am currently configure Windows and try to migrate the old server configs to the new one.
I will let you know when it’s ready.
I don’t know right now if you have to spawn the blueprints again as 2 years ago or if it’s now stored on the server - some say this, some that.
More details will follow!
That’s it for now and more bigger announcements regarding HWS 9 are coming very soon.
In ~50 minutes you can start to sign up to the event. You are queued for it then.
At 8PM all get teleported into the Arena then. Everyone at random position (hopefully).
You get a custom inventory anyways at the beginning: a chainsaw
@RexXxuS, unless you have a way to make Steam think it’s the exact same server, then yes people will lose their ready to spawn blueprints.
When we join the game won’t use our cache/blueprint files (client side) from the old server on the new server because it will start a new Server folder client side when joining.
Remember, if client side and server side don’t match then the server automatically removes them anyways on log in the first time.
I would just make a clear warning ahead of time that people will likely lose them.
Sadly, my testing shows that the client still has those files currently, and they do still matter.
I think we all hope for the day that those files are only stored server side, then we would finally be able to play the game in MP from multiple PC’s. One day.
bring good armor is mandatory as the event don’t give you one.
As the epic durability falls to zero after few deaths (checked after 2 and it was 0, brand new epic)
you will almost have to fight naked…
Light or medium armor with armor boost (as boosters will still be there even if armor durability falls to zero) will allow you to keep a few armor after dying.
We (the whole server) might have to league against RED ( /kiss) as they are more players…
(i didn t shoot at light armor guys or guys that weren’t shooting at me for example…)
Hope it can help new players. Have Fun all.
Thx ReXx again.
In each armor locker you had light + medium + heavy.
But get grabbed fast…
The issue with Personal Container are: the first time you do the event you get it, but not in the next one.
Kinda tricky but I reworked the Arena the last hour and there are tons of weapons, ammo and loot boxes overall now. Plus some easter eggs.
Thanks for joining and will improve and implement more of them in HWS 9
Fine like that. But i wish all have to know that. And armors in armor lockers are quite risky to use as you can die when changing boosters etc.
Just checked my activity log, and told me that you maybe could add reward to kill counter in zone… can make FPS-event more attractive for (new)players. 50k per kill wont change end-game player’s life but could make a good deal for new ones…
But already nice like that.
It’s not excluded right now. I only excluded the RP loss for dying now.
Overall I think it’s a nice attraction for others to participate in the Kill Board score.
The idea behind it was a bit taken from the Survey: make PvP more rewarding + attractive for non-veterans.
FPS at least.
But we are working on a ship deathmatch event mode as well.
The event was fun imo, it was different for this game not being best for FPS.
I became guilty from event(lost 5 RP) and was getting spammed about messages being guilty(it did not warp me from playfield though) yet you do not get the +5 rp for killing someone.
It says it is FFA event but killing people who I am allied with did not result in a +1 for kill count etc
The event was fun but I was a passenger in my raider when it and I were teleported into the event and my mate flying my raider was left in the cold depths of space. Then when the event was over my raider didn’t come back with me But besides that the event was fun and like Calo I lost RP and went guilty for killing an Alliance member to many times plus lost RP for getting killed two times. All in all I will do the event again for sure but I really would like my ship back LOL.
