Changelog
NEW:
Hunter active ability: 'Flurry'The all new Flurry ability is a hunter's best friend. This ability will fire out a flurry of missiles that will seek out all enemies within a ten block radius.
Missile features:
- Hunt down enemies for 20 seconds, if it cannot reach its enemy, it will self-destruct.
- Upon hit, it will:
- Deal six hearts of damage (armour and all effects are taken into account)
- Knock the enemy back
- Sets the enemy glowing for the hunter for five seconds
- Reduce the hunter's cooldown by five seconds
- Can destroy enemy team doors that get in its way
- Listen. Can you hear the fuse of the missle?
- Look. Can you see the missle glowing?
- Act. If you can't run away, you can punch the missle!
Class Changes:
Miner- To indicate that its Gold Rush ability is active, small yellow particles now spawn on ores upon hitting them.
- Abandoned Stats
In order to incentivize staying in games to keep the number of players per team balanced, Abandoned stats are now given to players, if:- they are on a team
- the game has started
- they abandon the game before their own nexus has been destroyed or before their own team has won
- Leaderboards
There are 2 new leaderboards:- Win/Loss Ratio has been replaced with Biggest Winners due to the number of player quitting before their team loses and thus skewing the statistics.
- Biggest Deserters that will show the top 20 players who continuously leave the team high and dry.
- Record Stats
As record stats served no purpose and made it harder to view your stats, they have been hidden.
- Item Stash
Previously, you would not receive items that were directly added to your inventory if it was full. We have now added the Item Stash that will store these items for 60 seconds. After making enough space in your inventory, you can either click the chat notification or type /stash to retrieve these items. This list includes all retrievable items:- Boss Buffs
- Team Doors
- Private Stands
- Purchases from the Brewing Shop and the Weapon Shop
- Alchemist's Stand
- Arrows from Archer's Arrow Drop
- Bard's BuffBox
- Builder's Delaying Blocks
- Tinkerer's PowerPads and its fragments
The Item Stash does not allow you to store items, once retrieved, items cannot be put back in the stash. Items that are not retrieved within the 60 second timer will disappear forever.
- Chat Command
To speed up replying to private messages, we have introduced the /r <message> (alias for /reply) command. This will allow you to send a message to the last person who you privately messaged.
- Players turning completely invisible to anyone.
- Scout not being the only class which can use the Grapple.
- Certain regular items working like specific Boss Buff items.
- Sea lanterns functioning as Builder's Delaying Blocks.
- Melon blocks and logs disappearing permanently.
- Not being able to break blocks that are placed in the spot of melon blocks and logs.
- Player-generated melon blocks and logs regenerating.
- Ninjas' Shurikens launching up enemies very high.
- Defender not receiving permanent Regeneration and additional HP.
- Defender not losing additional HP.
- Boots of Grace not breaking.
- Losing Invisibility despite Boots of Grace cancelling fall damage.
- Helmet of Extinguishment not extinguishing flames when having Fire Resistance.
- Chestplate of Fortitude and Leggings of Swiftness giving their respective effect to enemies.
- Armour being put on upon hitting a player or being hit by a teammate after using Assassin's Leap.
- Armour not being put back on upon breaking a block after using Assassin's Leap.

Fall is upon us in this September edition of Dentril's New Moon! I'm your intrepid host, MrJack, and I'll help guide you through some of this month's most recent changes to our Network and Gamemodes!
Early in the month Shotbow packed up, got the U-Haul together, and moved! After being faced with some stability issues, Shotbow has some new infrastructure in the form of a new host, with improved stability for our players as a result. While the Network was down for the move, we hosted a brief Shotbow SMP, and were joined by some fun faces in the community to kill time until the Network was back to it's better self! As part of the move however, we left two things in the Garage, and said farewell for now to both Miner Problems and Warbands. We appreciate all the love and attention these games have been given up until now, but are looking forward to spending our time and efforts on some new things elsewhere on Shotbow. Speaking of which, let's get into what's changed already!
Slaughter Updates
Another major update has landed for Slaughter, featuring complete rebuilds and updates of some familiar maps, brand new weapons, consumables, equipment, and so much more! Additionally, we come face to face with a new "Passive" item type, which is sure to add new layers to your gameplay styles!
Some of the shop has been cleaned up, with armor now sold in sets, and a large change to pricing for most items too! This, in conjunction with shorter cooldowns, bug fixes, and proper scaling for XP according to difficulty, Slaughter should feel much more rewarding for our players! We're looking forward to continuing work on the gamemode, so keep an eye out for future patches, more rebuilds and map updates, and so much more!
GG Updates
GG continues to impress with one of the most sizeable updates the gamemode has seen in quite some time! A brand new series of kit options and a mode for duels has really spiced things up on GG! Killstreaks, new items and features like the Toybox, Arena battling, and more have all helped create more dynamic gameplay for our skilled pvp community.
Experimenting with new kit options should keep you busy each time you respawn (or while racking up 50 kill streaks), and a series of bugfixes and adjustments to potions, damage frames, and item interactions should help the whole experience feel smooth. We appreciate all the feedback on the new content we've received already, so keep an eye out for continued work on balancing and bugfixing with the gamemode!
When in Rogue Updates
When in Rogue has seen activity with the mantle of Lead being taken up by our very own McJeffr! Joined by Jamal135, the When in Rogue team has started to spin things up to get some groundwork underway after an insightful status update. The gamemode has a bright future ahead with plans for dungeon reworks, improved dungeon generation, new rooms, an updated base version, and so much more! Bugs are to be dealt with, some well known ones (thanks to our players!) are sure to be addressed moving forwards, as we look to the future of a very exciting gamemode! Stay tuned for continued updates!
MineZ Updates
MineZ has seen some fresh faces joining it's team as of late, and to coincide with some new faces, the world of MineZ saw a fair few new locations added to the map as part of our most recent update! Continued work on updating loot tables, and adding these new locations and rebuilds to the map, alongside the continued movement of Ghost Ship, should hopefully begin to reinvigorate gearing to be a bit more interesting! Keep an eye out for more builds and updates in the coming months as we approach some of our favorite holidays seasons!
Additionally, applications for Mini Admins and Builders are live, alongside the launching of the MineZ Builder Association as a means for the community to continue to help contribute to the game. We're looking forward to growing both the game, staff, and community with this project and more, and we thank all those who have already begun to participate!
Annihilation Updates
Joining the party of accepting new mini-admins, Annihilation JUST announced that their applications are now live for the first time in quite a long while! The enthusiasm needed for Annihilation is not hard to find amongst the community, and we're excited to see some new faces join the team in the future!
That same enthusiasm has also resulted in more clan wars, 26 to be exact! You can find streamed matches 49, 50, and 51 here, here, and here! We're looking forward to more rousing matches throughout the month. Catch you soon!
