Hello, OldSquaders!
Hope y'all had a nice & safe summer.
We're ready to bring you a new great journey into our MU world!
We've been working on the past weeks to finish the next edition of Inception, an edition that is bringing a lot of new & fun things as well as a lot of balance features and tweaks to keep the competition level high, as we all seek to.
Inception's 4th edition will be officially launched on Friday, 25 SEPTEMBER, at 19:00 Server Time (GMT+3). MOBS will spawn at 20:00 Server Time (GMT+3)!
Official Info Topic: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/993-inception-official-information-many-details-about-server
The Test Server will be released for public starting from next week.
As we're always striving for, we expect this Inception edition to be the best to be seen yet in our community.
Some of the new things that this Inception edition will feature:
Council Group
Council will be the "voice of the players" for this Inception's edition. We will interact directly & actively with members of the Council for a better game for everyone.
Note: We'll try to have at least 1 representative for each *bigger* guild as a member of our Council, as well as people that had / will have contributions in terms of feedback/suggestions/bug reports/etc.
New Stage System
Now after a stage is completed it will no longer affect others (the exp of that reset goes back to the same exp of the previous reset).
Now apart from the Stage breakers (first 3 people to finish a stage) that will keep their own reward, there will be rewards for everyone that progressed through stage based on the level they had when the stage was completed.
Now the EXP boosts for newbies will be added after each stage completion (and will benefit everyone who is not in top 100 at that moment).
Important: The players that finish a stage won't be able to continue leveling until the stage is officially over for everyone. A stage will be officially over after 12 hours since the 3rd player finished it.
Exception: If the 3rd player does finish the stage between 15:00 and 22:00 server time then the stage will be officially over only at 10:00 next day (due to sleep interval).
This is meant to assure the next stage will be more fair in terms of competition. So, by progressing through the stage you'll win both rewards and a better position to compete for the next one.
Dynamic Characters Balance
Now after each stage, we'll be adjusting the characters that either OVERPERFORM or UNDERPERFORM in either PvP or PvM at that stage of the game.
The adjustments will be based on the Council's feedback.
Duel Gamble System
Fight your enemies and/or friends for bets in jewels/credits. Winner get em' all.
More info about it you can find on Official Topic -> PvP System -> Duel Gamble System.
Imperial Guardian V2 along with weekly rankings for speed-run records of parties
Enjoy a harder Imperial event alongside personal rewards, extra optional rewards as well as weekly rankings for speed-running competitions in teams of 5 different classes. More info later.
OldSquad Soccer System & Soccer Nights
Had a bad week? No problem, @Gion will guarantee you have a fun experience on our Soccer Nights to make it up (hosted usually in weekend).
No friends/guild needed. Everyone will be part of a random-made team based on the registration pool.
Extra Warehouses ingame
Starting from this edition, players will be able to access multiple warehouses on the same account.
Basically, you will have your *MAIN* warehouse as usually, and you'll gain access to extra (empty by default) warehouses where you can deposit your things:
Non-VIP characters do have 2 extra warehouses.
Dealer & Hunter VIP characters will have 3 extra warehouses.
Professional VIP characters do have 4 extra warehouses.
In order to access such extra warehouses you need to type the command /ware (0/1/2/3/4) where the number = warehouse number.
Example: /ware 0 (will switch to your main warehouse, which is always set by default and after each relog).
Example2: /ware 1 (will switch to your 2nd warehouse).
Note: Characters that had VIP and it expired will no longer be able to access the extra warehouse(s), but items will not be lost, they can be accessed back after you renew your VIP.
Note2: The Game Warehouse from Website does use ONLY the *MAIN* warehouse.
Improvements to the Mother-Kid concept to make it more feasible towards (re)populating Inception
Lower wait-time for transfers, faster peace Wormhole, additional transfer options for those that started Wormhole later but managed to make enough resets.
Separated sub-server for gens maps (Server 2) to improve performance
Extra things:
All the improvements, fixes & new features that were added since Phoenix's start up to now have been adjusted accordingly and added to Inception as well.
Now you can get DDI% (from harmony) only from item level + 11 (instead of + 9).
Note: Maximum DDI% per item is now 5% instead of 7% (1% at +11, 3% at +12, 5% at +13).
Credits reward for submitting a Guide and have it accepted.
Credits reward for submitting a Suggestion and have it accepted & implemented.
IMP now increases damage / wiz damage with +12% instead of +20%.
Demon now increases damage / wiz damage with +18% instead of +30%.
Now there's maximum 4 GM boxes that can be obtained by each loser of CS.
Now if the GM of team with lowest points at CS has quitted, the 2nd lowest points team will receive the periodic Life Stones.
+ many other things that you can find by reading all of our info as well as playing the test & the official game.
We're here for an EPIC edition, hope you're too!
