It’s time to D-D-D-D-D-Duel!

duel_statueYou’ve always wanted to kill each other without being looked down on – now you can! Have a grand tournament and show off your combat skills in front of a roaring crowd. The new Duel Statue structure can be built with some gold, stone, and bone. Any number of participants can trigger a battle and the winner will even get a bit of assassin experience based on how epic the battle was. Going too far from the statue, taking outside damage, dealing damage before the battle begins, or disconnecting will disqualify you from winning. Remember, don’t start fighting until you see it say FIGHT!

Also in this update:

  • Rafts can now be stopped by using any item. To move again just turn a different direction.
  • NPCs can no longer change the direction of rafts like human players can.
  • Aloe damage timer extended by 2 seconds.
  • Fishing time window extended to 2 seconds.
  • You can now use uppercase commands like /B or /WHO

All the upcoming duels will help me test some things with networking and weapon balance. Have fun!
