Map expansion & Mounts

Greetings Heroes!

Yesterday the server updated, bringing in a few changes and news about changes to come. In the words of Kainzo: ''We have a lot planned for the future and are ramping things up for release one at a time.'' I must say, I am excited for some of the many new features that are planned for Herocraft. 

Now, the updates: 

Map Expansion:
Haven has been expanded to 5000R. The dynmap will be updated to reflect this change.



HeroMounts
HolySteed & DreadSteed
Paladins and Dreadknights are now able to spawn a mount at level 65, HolySteed and DreadSteed respectively. Any class will be able to use a mount, but the two Knight classes are the only ones with the ability to spawn them for free.



Other News

Shaman

Is almost complete, thanks to 0xNaomi and the balance team. Final stats and skill levels will be on test in the next few days. Expect a release next patch. The Shaman will summon a totem that has an endercrystal on it. Pic related ---->

Sorry for not posting in such a long time, christmas and studies has been hectic for me. I won't be as active that I used to, but expect me to update the blog a bit more often than what I have the last 2 months.

Adventure map Sneak Peek.

Sneak Peak of the planned adventure map

I have to say, I am very excited for the adventure map. Even though they are very early in the progress, these screenshots are astonishing. Danda also mentioned that it will take a long time to get scripts and plugins right, so we probably won't see the adventure map ready anytime soon (They are working on the PvE map aswell). 

Anyways, I will post updates as they come. I haven't been active lately and that is due to the fact that November is the end of term month so I have multiple tests and presentation every week at school. I will hopefully have more time in December to get back to full activity.

Weekly Poll 3# Results

Week 3 poll results

Sorry for delayed post

Last week I asked the community ''What's your favorite profession'', 31 people took the time to vote on their favorites and here are the results: 

Top 3

On the first place we have Smith and Merchant, with 9 points each. Merchant has the ability to create ChestShops, trade with villagers and gift items over a distance. Smith can forge chainmail, repair tools/armor and deconstruct tools/armor. 

On third place we find Enchanter and Engineer, with Engineer recently being merged with Mason it's no surprise that the class is popular. An enchanter can use the vanilla feature of Enchanting, while an Engineer can use redstone ICs and create Gates, Bridges, secret doors and lifts.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote! This week's question is: ''What sort of player are you?'' The question is multiple choice, so you can vote more than one speciality.

Weekly Poll 2# Results

Week 2 Poll Results

Last week I asked the community ''What's your favorite attribute?''. We got in as many as 48 unique votes which is a record. Here are the results: 

Top 3:

For a long time it looked like it would be either Strength or Charisma were gonna win, but during the last 30 minutes of the poll we received around a dozen votes that changed the tides completly. Agility ended up getting a clear victory with 19 votes, in front of Strength and Charisma that shared the second place with 15 votes each. 

Other results:

 Endurance and Intellect shared a fourth place, each with 13 votes, constitution ends up on a sixth place with 10 votes and wisdom comes in last place with only 9 votes.

Screenshots from week #1

I'll be starting up a new weekly thing where I will be posting screenshots of my experiences on Haven. I will be making a schedule for the blog soon, so stay tuned. 


Week #1 - The Beginnings

I decided to adventure trough the spawn area and I stumbled across this:

Meeting my first donkey ever in Minecraft

 Mastered Lost Soul, decided to specialize into Ninja and at this point I started seeking out PvP. 

Killing a lvl 46 Beguiler while only being a lvl 14 Ninja myself, it was a 1v2 situation for me, so his partner killed me seconds after but it was a thrilling and fun experience nonetheless. 



 Being chased by 8 Silvermede members after roaming their territory looking for targets to assassinate, using my ninja skills such as Fade and Smoke to set up ambushes and to escape if they got too many. In the end they gathered all the citizens into one large party and went on a manhunt on me. After a few minutes of running around like this they caught me and I was quickly disposed of. 

 A screenshot taken just as more than 200 players attempt to jump into the portal that leads to the main server. 

 A screenshot showing the Deathchest feature. If you die while having a chest and a sign in your inventory (Sign is optional), you will spawn a ''tomb'' that automatically gets LWC protected for 5 minutes with your belongings in it. 
















That's it for this time, more screenshots next week so stay tuned!
