New Achievements Lists & Blood Hour



Achievements List 6 & 7

For all those that have been hacking away at achievements list 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, you now have list 6 & 7 to complete. Another 15 set achievements in each list for the higher ranked, high powered players to complete. Each gives a QP as well as handsome prizes for completion. List 6 is a little late this year, so to make it up to you, list 7 is early. Click here to view the list of list 6.

I have made one small change with list 6 & 7 over the previous lists. There is now a link to click to check if you've reached any of the milestones set in the achievements list. This will 1) Stop you from missing the fact you got an achievement if you click onto the next page too fast. 2) Gives you the opportunity to see what achievements you've unlocked 3). avoids adding extra load on certain pages to automatically see if targets are met. I hope you prefer it this way too.

Blood Hour

As suggested in the forums (and very much liked by other posters) I have decided to implement the 'power hour' idea. Although it will be named 'Blood Hour'. How it works is pretty simple. On the main midnight reset  the system will choose a random hour for when Blood Hour will be active that next day. It will never be a set hour (due to lack of excitement and time zone differences), it will change every single day. One day it could be 2am, the next could be 4pm. Even I won't know when it will be, as it'll be completely randomly chosen.

When that hour comes to pass, there will be the Blood Hour logo sat on top of the battle and arena pages. 5 minutes before Blood Hour is due to go active, a pending message will appear on the top of the arena pages so you have a few minutes before top of hour to know if it will be Blood Hour or not.

What happens when it is Blood Hour? Simple. x2 blood on all PvP battles.

There are plenty of places we can take this idea to help give even more excitement at random times throughout the day, I'll see what the feedback is for this first.

Daily Reminder Page

Even though my efforts of reducing lag (its an ongoing process) has met some resistance, especially in regards to claiming things manually. I have setup a section of your daily to-do list page to show all the things that are claimable, and how long you left until you can claim them. I have added your daily to-do list to the top of everyone's drop down menu. For those that don't like the claiming, I hope this is a good step in the right direction help stop you forgetting to claim things.

Poll

Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the poll the other day, I sat down this morning and read through every one of them and added lots of things to my list :)

Enjoy the rest of the week,

Power Potions (Updated)



Thanks to everyone who donated during the birthday event, and I hope you enjoyed the event and the 'Free Plasma Day'. Lets move on, shall we!


Power Potions
 
















Edited note: Due to the amount of requests from the users of the old MP single stat powers, I have decided to add them into this new system. As for MP itself, I apologise for the mix up, but the fact you could indeed stack MP was an unknown bug. It was never reported so I had no idea of its existence, hence why MP now works the way it does, for that I apologise. When redeeming MP, it sets your MP to what you should have, and not stack it. However, from this moment on I will compromise and allow you to stack up to 2000 MP (from buying Trik's potions, redeeming MP will set it at 200/300/400 regardless.) One last point, people complain about the hourly reset lag (and rightly so) but things can't improve unless we take off unnecessary things which slow it down, which can be redeemed in other ways (Like MP, motivation). Can't have it both ways.

All the current features (which have been edited) are listed again below.

I first announced vampire powers back in 2008, which was very well received as a good free way to temporarily increase your stats. Even more so was version 2 when I introduced the percentage increases, which made people want to continue working on their stats for even further temporary boosts for the same price. I would now like to introduce version 3, and a re-brand.


Vampire Powers have been re-branded as power potions. Following in the footsteps of Trik's potions, a whole new set of potions specific for temporarily increasing your stats is now at your disposal. It works almost the same as the previous vampire power system, with a few extra little perks, and simplified.
  • Although the majority of people use the "all" stats, each individual stat boosts are available again.
  • In order to help free up the hourly resets a bit more, MP must be claimed manually. Once every 24 hours you can claim 200 MP (300 for VIP, 400 for VIP+). These cannot be stacked. So you must use your all MP in order to claim more the next day, or lose what you have. If you miss a day, you are unable to re-claim the lost MP. An extra little thing to reward activity.
  • You use can the Potion Credits you buy over at Trik's to "double up" on powers. For example, a 2% power has a 1 Potion Credit fee to double it to 4%. Each power has different credit costs in order to use this double up feature. This should increase the value of credits and get people trading them even more.
  • Power potions now last for one hour instead of ten minutes!
  • Battle boosts (home page) tab now show active Trik's and power potions.
  • A warning added when redeeming that all current MP will be lost. (I.E Use all you have before redeeming)
  • You are allowed to stack (via potions) up to 2000 MP. (Please note if you redeem any MP whilst you have this amount, it will be lost)


Head over to the new Power Potions Store at the Dead City for more info. You can claim today's MP right away. There is a FAQ page you should read on the power potions page before using.

Some due stuff coming very soon. Enjoy the weekend,

It works almost the same as the previous vampire power system, with a few extra little perks, and simplified.

- Due to a recent poll I took, the high majority of you only used the "All" powers. So I've decided to scrap the individual stats, and just have an "all" stats upgrade.

- In order to help free up the hourly resets a bit more, MP must be claimed manually. Once every 24 hours you can claim 200 MP (300 for VIP, 400 for VIP+). These cannot be stacked.

- Power potions now last for one hour instead of ten minutes!

- Battle boosts (home page) tab now show active Trik's and power potions.

Keep in mind - If you have MP stored, do not redeem anymore MP. As it will update your MP to your daily limit, not add it on top. Use any MP you have before redeeming.
