Patch 0.30.6

Patch 0.30.6 was a minor patch, which swapped out Battle Box maps and kits, while also fixing bugs and adjusting certain PvP items.

Battle Box Arena

New map: Cherry Blossom

A new Battle Box map for Arena, focused on sneaky plays with invisibility, mobility and teleportation. Pay attention to where players are, especially when at the sides as it can be hard to see who’s at the capture point! The sides of the map can be used for flanks helping save important items for later in the battle.

Cherry Blossom will be swapping with Heater which will return to the map pool in the near future. Along with the map swap, 4 kits will be swapping for new ones.

General Improvements

Matchmaking now attempts to only match trios or quads against each other until a queue time threshold is passed, after which only then will it consider to match against a team of solo or duo players. This will result in solos and duos playing more often against each other, and trios and quads playing more often against each other. In times where there are not many trios or quads playing queue times may take slightly longer for those parties.
The scoreboard has been adjusted to explain what the score means (kit breaker score), it also now shows the kit breaker progress of your selected kit as well as you overall kit breaker score earned that game.
Arena Alice NPC in the Battle Box Game Lobby now automatically shows the next map rotation and their corresponding kit changes in the info button 2 weeks in advance.
The health bar has received a few improvements:
- Teammate Health bars will now be coloured for various potion effects that can be cleansed. This includes: Poison, Void Harming and Bright Harming.
- Added new health bar colours for Blindness, both for enemies and teammates.
Seek Orbs have also received a few improvements:
- They can now be left-clicked to fire them instantaneously at a reduce speed.
- The charged shot max speed has been increased (also increasing the max travel distance).
- Seek Orbs with positive effects will now travel through terrain when locked onto a teammate.
- Seek Orbs after locking on will now attract to their target faster at a 4.5 block range.

Kit adjustments

Launch Spectre - Buff Launch Spectre is a melee only kit that can be quite limited in its capabilities. To give it more agency, we are adding a Spark of Speed and a Potion of Regeneration which also makes it a fit more as a brawler.
Seek Healer - Buff We want seek Healer to be one of the strongest options for healing teammates, like the standard Healer kit it replaced from Spaceship, so we are giving it an extra Orb of Regeneration.
Power Scrapper - Buff We are giving the kit 2 extra arrows to have some extra power and consistency at range.
Flight Gadgeteer - Nerf Flight Gadgeteer is too strong, having a Spark of Hovering (which can be used to immobilize enemies while also having great melee and ranged), an escape with the Spark of Levitation, and the ability to craft any item to further capitalize on immobilizing their target. We are therefore removing the Spark of Hovering which also brings the kit more into line with the Bastion Gadgeteer kit it replaced from Spaceship.

Class adjustments

Gadgeteer - Buff All Gadgeteer kits have been underperforming, so we are increasing the amount of items for crafting and improving the consistency of getting items that can be crafted.
- Gadgeteers now receive one random item at the end of each round.
- Crates are also now guaranteed to contain equal amounts of essences and empty containers, this should result in less cases where you cannot craft anything despite having broken many crates.
Spectre - Nerf All Spectre kits have been overperforming. To best balance out the class while keeping the mobility we are reducing their max health and will likely reduce it further if the class is still too powerful.
- Spectre now has 9 hearts of max health.

Bug Fixes

Dynaball will now combine teams into 2 groups if there are more than 2 teams instead of spawning some in the void.

Fixed grotto not always kicking players to a fishing island after completion if you didn’t enter it from a fishing island.
