RELEASE DATE: SATURDAY APRIL 17TH @ 1:00PM EST

MANARAY ANTI-CHEAT

ManaPVP Season 11 will be launching with our own anti-cheat, called Manaray

Manaray will soon be deployed globally, starting first with ManaPVP > Factions > Parkour

What makes Manaray special?

➥ Custom. Can make immediate core changes/tweaks to improve it

➥ Off main thread. Runs silently in background having 0 affect on performance

➥ Integration. Integrates into various features on the server

➥ Extensive Checks. There is 4-6 unique check types for every major hack

➥ Auto Banning. Manaray will ban hackers on it's own. A total & weekly ban stat is visible at spawn

➥ No interference. Manaray will avoid interfering with gameplay unless to block blatant hacking. Once a minimum threshold is reached the hacker will be banned, and an announcement in chat of that ban.

We expect Manaray to have 100,000 bans...

Treasure Chest Revamp + Chocolate Chest released

Thread starter Dacon
Start date Apr 3, 2021

We have created a new treasure chest plugin to improve the chance system & more!

This new system is currently only for the Chocolate Treasure Chest (but is not yet on Parkour or KitPvP)
We will be deploying this system to all crates types on all servers in the coming weeks

Problems in the past:

- Sometimes could go 20-30 keys dry without a legendary prize.

- Sometimes would only win 1 of the legendary's over and over and never the other ones.

- Entire chance system was just wacky in general

This is how we fixed these problems:

There are 3 tiers: Common, Uncommon and Legendary

By default (on your first key) Legendary has a 5% chance, Uncommon 25% chance, Common 100% chance (i'll explain)

When you open a crate, you will first roll to try and get a legendary, if missed, it'll then roll to try to get an uncommon (25% chance), if that also misses you will be given a random common reward.

Every key you open and do not get a legendary, increases your chances next time of getting a legendary.

We made a fancy graphic to help display this information easier:
