New Gaming Release!September 11, 2009 11:13 AM
Hey there, SmallWorlds citizens. It's Johnny Wilde here to give you the heads up on an awesome gaming release that I'm sure you've been looking forward to as much as I have. No doubt about it, this is going to see me burning some serious midnight oil in the PVP gaming arenas!
V2.0 saw the release of two of the new weapons, the Star Sprinkle Wand and the Pea Shooter. But if you've been waiting to bolster up your weapons arsenal, your wait is over! All weapons are now for sale at Sovereign Plaza (with a few selling at Arena Central). Come pay a visit. You won't be disappointed!
The Weapons
All weapons are tied to your CP levels. If (like me) you've been inviting loads of friends into SmallWorlds, then you're going to have a bigger range to choose from. Let's check them all out.
CL1 WeaponsThese are 100% new, never been seen before! Three cool new weapons that will be easy to obtain, as you only need to be CL1 to use them. Remember, you get 1 Citizen Level for every 20 Citizen points you earn, so these CL1 weapons are really easy to get.
Electro Shocker - a high tech electric stun weapon
Sonic Confuser - a device that emits confusion rays
Ice Cube Cannon - a gun that launches ice cubes at high velocity
CL 10 Weapons
Firebolt Crossbow - A crossbow that shoots out deadly fire bolts
Glue Gun - A gun that shoots out sticky glue
Icebolt Crossbow - A crossbow that shoots freezing ice bolts
Sea Sprite Trident - A magical coral lightning trident charged with the power of Neptune
Gauntlet of Madness - Summons an ancient orb that takes control of people's minds
Health Staff - A magical staff that heals damage
CL 40 WeaponsFireball Bazooka - A bazooka that shoots out a deadly fire blast
Toxic Waste Gun - A gun that shoots out toxic waste
Nitrogen Gun - A gun that sprays chilling nitrogen gas
Whirlwind Staff - An elemental weapon that generates a powerful whirlwind
Stellar Staff - A mysterious staff that draws on the power of a dark energy
New Game Arena - Magma CoreWe've also got a cool new Game Arena, Magma Core. It's a Capture the Flag style game set in rivers of red hot lava! I reckon this could be a great place for an Ice Cube Cannon. In fact, I might take one to shoot myself and cool off a little!
Magma Core - definitely a place where you can expect to get a real sweat on. It's a smoking hot game to play, so get a group of friends together and give it a go!
Competitor and Professional Leagues - Keeping it Fair!To keep it fair and fun for everyone, we've now got different gaming leagues you can play in, depending on what CP Level you hold. If you're on CP10 and you're playing in an arena with a friend on CP70 we realize that you're going to be out of your depth pretty quickly!
Now you can choose to enter a gaming arena at Competitor League level (up to CL20 and XP50) or at Professional League level (CL40 and XP90). That means that if you want to use your High CP Level weapons, you'll need to choose a Professional League gaming arena to match that weapon level. We'll be adding in new league levels as the SmallWorlds community collectively levels up.
Another way we're keeping it fair is that we've decided that higher level feet items such as the Hover Board and Rocket Boots will not be usable in PVP game arenas.
Watch out for me in the pro leagues, and a word of warning, watch your back!
Inviting Friends into SmallWorlds = Access to cool weapons!
The rewards for inviting friends into SmallWorlds are pretty awesome in my opinion - increasing my CP levels so I can get access to those weapons is definitely worth sending out some SmallWorlds invitations.... and then when my friends come in-world we can get a team together.
Maybe I'll see you in one of the arenas sometime soon - at the other end of a Fireball Bazooka, I'm hoping - ha ha!
