Dear players! We have prepared and implemented custom Battleground modes for the live server. Initial checks have already been completed on the test server — the mechanics are working, but for proper load testing and balance tuning we need a mass test with real players.
☝️ Before launch, we would like to hear your opinion and receive approval from our community. Below are the Battleground formats planned for testing.
⚔️ Battleground #1 — FFA “Hot Potato”
Format: large-scale PvP — free for all
🔸 16 players enter the location
🔸 One random participant receives the “Hot Potato” status (Klaw morph)
🔸 Everyone fights against everyone
🔸 Points are awarded for player kills
🔸 Killing the morphed “Hot Potato” player grants bonus points
⏱️ The player with the most points when time expires wins. After death — instant respawn inside the arena and return to battle until the match ends.
⚔️ Battleground #2 — “Golden Arena” (tournament format)
Format: elimination PvP tournament
🔸 A tournament bracket is generated
🔸 Participants are automatically paired
🔸 All players are placed in a waiting area
🔸 The system randomly selects a pair and teleports them to the arena
⚔️ Each round lasts 3 minutes. The loser is eliminated and sent to the Kisk. The winner advances in the bracket and returns to the waiting area for the next match — continuing until the final fight and one overall champion.
We propose a mass test:
Saturday, February 14 at 12:00 (GMT+3) On the live server
PvP test without rewards.
⚠️ Important:
It is impossible to fully test these mechanics on a test server — real player load and activity are required. During testing, server instability or short outages may occur. That is why we do not want to proceed without player approval.
📊 Please take part in the poll! Your voice matters — this is a contribution to new game modes on the server.
