Patch 24 - New Battle System & FFA & More!


- We have a new huge system that is now in Pandora. It's called the 'Battle System'. This will allow us to create many, many automaticPvP tournaments, like our DailyPvP now, but better. Type [PvPBattles to see what battles are available. You can Join the Queue for the battle and you will get a invitation on your screen5 minutes before the battle starts. The battles will also work like the Daily PvP now. It will announce to the shard and you can also just type the command. For example [FFA and you join the Free for All.

- Pandora now has an official automatic Free for All that will run auto every 2 hours.
Please be patient as we create new battles with this system, but this is a huge milestone for Pandora. This system is 1 of a kind, and has been months of hard coding in the making. Other servers have already offered me big bucks for it, I said no. This is a
Thank you to all our donators, who's donations pay for the servers cost and also hire outside scriptors part time to keep Pandora fresh if Xeen is busy workig on other things.

- We now have new kinds of PvP Battle stats. Type [PvPBattles and you can view yours and other players very detailed stats. These stats will apply to all the new Battles. The 1v1 Dueling system will stay on it's own point system and of course there is still field pvp point system.

- We now have a fully automatic Free for All Pvp tourny that will run about every 2 hours. It works like the daily pvp, but everyone gets dropped inside the arena and last one standing wins. Each player will get 1 pvp coin and the winner will get 4. This also allows
younger players to have a shot of winning some because they can gank a better player, also good practice and just great fun. There will be PvP Battles / Tourny's happening all the time on Pandora. Like always you will not actually die, not lose insurance, only gain some fun, some practice, and some pvp coins.

- [PvPBattles command will also allow you to Join as Spectator to watch some battles with some other options also.

- If you are in a party and the leader joins the PvP Battle Queue, then the whole party will joint he queue. Doesn't mean you have to go, you will get a invitation though.
 
- Instead of typing [PvpBattles there will also be Stones around Pandora that if double clicked, will also bring up the Battles Menu.

- Young players will stay young longer as they gain skills

- Future donator coins will be called "Pandora Dollars"

- Bank Stone has a new look and color for future people who buy bank stones. ( Do not ask to be exchanged, the old ones are part of Pandorian History )

- Champions have more hit points now. Doesn't mean they will kill you, just means it will take a bit longer to kill them. They are the same fighting style and strength, but just a lot more hit points. This is so people do not breeze thru champs super quick solo. Champs are not meant to be solo'd.

- Champions will scatter less gold when they die. This is to help balance the economy, this was suggested by many vetern players on Pandora.

- Oak Leaf Cloaks & Necromancer Shroud Replicas will no longer drop.(and ones on the shard are deleted, this was a mistake, apologies) Please get shrouds from pvp stone or donation room.

- Sea Horses now take up 5 pet slots while traveling on water.

- Giant Turkey's are spawned more on the shard, they drop 23 Pandora coins on death.

- There are new "vintage colored shrouds" in the donation house. Some will match the new rare ostards.

- Scalis the Enforcer has been nerfed. He still can 1 shot kill you, but his Hit Points & resists are much lower. He has a chance to drop all the new Scalis the Enforcer artifacts & the new crimson, along with a lot of Pandora & Oceanic Coins. Take a group of people & you can take him. He's usually in the river at Twisted.


- There is some new creatures on Pandora!

:Southern Dolphin - Like a normal dolphin with much more hit points, doesn't hit very hard. Drops up to 3 Oceanic Coins. Find him around the waters in the High Seas Expansion via moongate. These little bugars are quick! Don't let him retreat back into the water!

:Sea Spider - Similiar to Silk's strength in Twisted Weild, but looks like a trapdoor spider & can swim. Has anywhere between 700 - 1200 HP. Good loot with 1 Oceanic Coin. They can be found randomly across Pandora near the waters edge.

:Tropical Ostard - Tameable (118.1) - Is a smooth tropical green, rare color and has been spotted once and awhile at the Island of Soulbinding South of the Port of Sea Horse. He is about as strong as a drake. 1 slot.

:Faded Rainbow Ostard - Tameable (118.1) - Is a mix of purple and greens, rare color and has been spotted once and awhile in Doom. He is about as strong as a drake. 1 slot.

ainted Ostard - Tameable (118.1) - Is an intense mix of red and greens, rare color and has been spotted once and awhile inside the Painted Caves in Felucca. He is about as strong as a drake. 1 slot.

* Each rare ostard also has it's own unique sound and a new shroud with stats at Donation House.


more to come.
