Patch 0.17.0

0.17.0 was a major patch, which brought with it major updates to Dynaball, tweaks to Battle Box and Parkour Warrior Survivor, and improvements to the queue punishment system.

Patch Notes

Dynaball

• Added two new items, Line Charge and TNT Drop.
  • Line Charge - Send this drill spinning at a block and it will burrow inside it, weakening the stack. A few moments later, it will drill out the longest line of blocks from that point in opposite directions either horizontally or vertically.
  • TNT Drop - Point and click to mark a location for detonation! After a brief delay, TNTs will rain from the sky on that spot, exploding immediately on impact.
• Added two new maps, Chessboard and Daruma Otoshi.
• Added a title that says Victory! instead of Game Over! for the winning team.
• Crates now drop items in a predetermined rotation, e.g. you always get two levitation sparks and three TnT drops before the cycle starts again. This means you won’t be swamped with just one item.
• You can no longer replace blocks that were recently exploded (should prevent players from pillaring through an explosion).
• Fixed issue where you could temporarily place blocks outside the map area.
• Fixed issue where blocks would sometimes drop named Acacia Wood instead of Repair Blocks.

Battle Box

• Future equipment is now shown in your hotbar during kit selection. This includes the map’s base items and your selected kit.

Parkour Warrior Survivor

• Fixed issue where eliminations are not counted correctly when the game ends
• Fixed issue where winning before the final duel did not grant any quest progress for leap completion quests
• Fixed an issue where PW: Survivor's game popularity included players in PW: Dojo

Queue Punishment System

• Punishments now apply immediately when your previous game ends if you are online on a server
• Receiving a punishment while in queue will force you to immediately leave the queue if possible
• All code that checked if you had an ongoing penalty now also checks if a pending punishment can be started.
• Queue penalties no longer start while on a game server (to prevent them already decreasing during a game)
• Fixed issue where punishment could apply when another punishment was already active
• Fixed issue where rejoining did not work on Battle Box’s 3rd round
• Fixed issue where you could join a different game if you left during Battle Box’s 3rd round
• You can no longer join PW: Dojo while under a matchmaking penalty.
• Fixed issue where the rejoin system would break when repeatedly changing servers.
