Hello again!As we've mentioned before in other news posts, we are working on the Classic Games update that will not only improve your gameplay experience, but also remove a ton of pesky bugs you've seen over the time. For those unfamiliar with the recent roadmap for the classic games, you can visitthe team posted 3 weeks ago.The first update is officially here: VampireZ!A new update has been released for VampireZ, available to play now in the Classic Lobby. Read on below for a full list of changes and additions or play it right now by clicking the Classic Lobby NPC, game menu icon, or using the commandAs always, if you find any bugs or issues please report them in the bugs section on the forums HERE Massive thanks to @Tootsie and the VampireZ community for their help, feedback and suggestions for this update!We've added a brand new VampireZ map with this update: Dusk. We look forwards to seeing what you think of the map!We've made some changes to gameplay in VampireZ to balance out aspects of the game, as well as to refresh and add some new mechanics to the game! This includes removal of the draw system, a short period of day time during the start of the game, where Vampires are a lot weaker, changes to Survivor starting gear, new survivor items, and more!We have decided to remove the draw system in VampireZ, which would cause the game to end in a draw when all Vampires leave. We felt this was unfair for players who have spent a long time trying to survive the waves only for all the Vampires to leave and the game end in a draw.Now, instead of the game ending, when all the Vampires leave the game will continue for the Survivors. All Zombies will gain an extra level of Strength until a Survivor dies and becomes a Vampire, in which the Zombies rage will subside and they will return to normal again.Survivors will now be starting with a new upgraded loadout! We hope that this new loadout will help player stand a better chance against the hordes of zombies! All of these starting items can be toggled off in the Settings menu in the lobby, useful for veteran players looking to give themselves a challenge!We've also added a new item to Survivors in VampireZ - the Bright Torch. You can hold the Bright Torch for a total of 10 seconds before it will burn out, but while you are holding it, the Bright Torch flame will light up your surroundings, allowing you to see in the blinding darkness - brilliant for navigating the spooky dark maps!At the start of a VampireZ game, it will now befor 15 seconds. During this time, Survivors will be able to see fully without Blindness, which they can use to navigate the map and get to cover. Furthermore, Vampiresbe able to use abilities while it is. After 15 seconds it will turn, and Vampires will gain all their abilities!The debuff system for Gods has been fixed and tweaked. Gods will now start being debuffed if there are 3 or more together, and will still be debuffs if there are 6 or more Gods together.Nausea is no longer part of the debuff system, but Gods will gain increased levels of Weakness depending on how many Gods are near each other. Furthermore, Gods will take 10% extra damage per God that is near them.Bat form is no longer purchasable from the Vampire Shop. Instead, it is active at all times, and never expires. The delay between switching to Bat Form has been increased to 2 seconds.Let Me In ability has been buffed. Instead of opening all doors in an area, which Survivors can simply just shut, and which Zombies sometimes cannot walk through, Let Me In will remove all nearby doors for 10 seconds.New players with less than 3 wins will continue to get more Gold/Blood in-game as well as a better Fang as a Vampire, but now Vampires withwill have Strength II and Regeneration II effects throughout the game. We hope that this buff will help newer Vampires get used to Vampire and learn the mechanics of the game. New players will hopefully learn to be better survivors and Vampires as their games progress.We've added another new item to Survivors in VampireZ - the Location Compass. The Location Compass will point to spots on the map where Survivors can hide in to stand a better chance against the Vampires and Zombies.We have also redesigned the shop menus to be easier to use and similar to the original menus in VampireZ. Instead of having menus within menus, both shops are designed to have all items accessible to the user without having to open any sub menus!Furthermore, some items have been removed/added to the Survivor Shop to clean up the menu of useless items and make it easier to use.Click the spoiler below to see the full list of shop changes.Survivor Kill Credit has been tweaked slightly. Now, the Vampire who dealt the most damage to the Survivor will also be credited for the kill as well as the Vampire who dealt the last hit to the Survivor. If a Vampire deals the most damage and gets the last hit, they will not be credited twice.Holy Books have been fixed and reverted to their original functionality as when they were added. Now, instead of a Holy Book being a one time use, a Survivor can use a Holy Book for as long as they are holding the book and wearing the Holy Armor.You cannot damage any Zombies or Vampires while you are using a Holy Book, so use it wisely!Click the spoiler below to see the full list of general changes.8 new VampireZ achievements have been added, for a total of 65 extra Achievement points. They are:We have fixed some of those pesky bugs that you hated in VampireZ, including Holy Books, Stakes and Holy Water, incorrect God debuffs and more!Click the spoiler below to see the full list of bug fixes.
