10 Year Veteran Hardcore Ironman mode has been released! Do you have what it takes to survive?
Hardcore Ironman Mode
Hardcore ironman mode has been added to BattleScape! This mode is nearly identical to regular ironman mode, but with one key difference: if you die, you will be reverted to a normal ironman and your current XP will be your final XP on the hardcore ironman hiscores. The server will also do its best to record your reason for death and include it on the hiscores.
Safe deaths: Pest Control, Fight Cave, Inferno, Mage Arena 2, Raids, Lunar Diplomacy/Dream Mentor fight, RFD fight, Duel Arena, Clan Wars, Clan Wars FFA, and Clan Wars Tournament. Having Gold membership does NOT count as a safe death: while items will still be protected, your rank will not be.
PK Elo Rating
A PK Elo rating system has been added. The default rating is 1200 and will increase or decrease depending on whether you kill a player or die to a player. However, Elo ratings ONLY change if both players are skulled. Your overall Elo is displayed on the quest tab and hiscores, but there is a second Elo rating that resets every month that may be incorporated later on.
