TIME MODE "TOTAL DANCE FLOOR"

Review
It's time to find out who dances the best! Dance floors appeared on the island of the Royal Battle. Capture them! Displace enemies from them and dance to raise disco balls above the grounds. The team that captures and defends the dance floors and fills up their dance gauge the fastest wins!

What's new?

• Drop chance of any bandages reduced by 50%.
• All regular weapons have been removed.
• Increased the amount of territory on the player's team half circle where your ally can spawn by 30%.
• The dance floors at the edges are now closer to the Tempest circle.
• Maximum respawn distance reduced by 20%.

WEAPONS AND ITEMS

• We've temporarily removed the Pocket Fortress from the game to address some issues.
  • Pocket Fort spawn rate increased from 3,05% to 4,89% while no Pocket Fort is present.
    • This was done in order to keep the pocket fort's spawn rate the same as if both items were present in the game, and to make it easier to complete challenges.

MISSIONS AND MECHANICS

• Power Level Limits
  • The minimum power level for accessing missions is taken into account depending on the access settings of your group.
    • If you have chosen the access type "For all", the game will determine the availability of missions by the lowest level of power among the players in your group (without taking into account the group amplifier).
    • If you set the access type to "Closed" or "Friends", then the game will only consider the power level of the group leader.
  • Low-level players will no longer be able to participate in open high-level missions where they are of little use to the team, but at the same time they will still be able to play alone or with friends in high-level regions.
  • All missions in Plankerton now have a minimum personal power requirement.
  • All Storm Shield Defense missions in Plankerton and beyond now have a minimum Personal Power requirement.

• Changed the balance of points awarded for missions, depending on the average duration and complexity of mission types.
  • This made it harder to get the coolest rewards at the end of the mission in some types of missions, especially if players did not complete bonus tasks.

• Models that should be invisible no longer appear in the game.
• Overtime missions now sometimes have an electrical modifier.

GAME PROCESS

  • This week, we've added a Data Gathering mission and a quest line with progressively higher rewards for taking part in the fight against the Mini Storm.
    • In the remastered Data Gathering mission, you'll have to act very quickly as the Tempest approaches the weather balloon's landing site. You will take damage while in the Storm, which means you will have to fight in a tighter space during data protection. The mission lasts 20 minutes. The only way to get all possible rewards is to shoot down the weather balloon at the first opportunity.
