Map Update Thread

[Friendy]

In this thread I'll be writing and replying with all updates done to maps on the day they're done so that players, staff, or whoever may wish to know what's been updated can find out here.

17th August 2016

• Almost every chest on the map has received a buff to combat bad game-play and the overuse of useless items in most chests.

Windy Hills

• Some chests have received a buff, with new weapons and armour now being available around the map.
• New routes have been added to the windmill to combat bow-camping.

• Some chests have been updated to add more iron and remove wood.

Desert

• Survivor kits and hunter kits have also been updated to hopefully fix combat issues.

Avenguard Keep

• Some chests have been updated, with some receiving nerfs and buffs for items.

I would also recommend changing the arch kit for a survivor on Western Nightmare. The survivor spawns with no melee weapon, only a bow, 10 arrows, a potion and some food.

There are a lot of weapons and availability to make weapons on the map which is why I decided to not request a change for that kit.

Not sure if it's already noticed/known but I removed Avenguard Keep's enchantmenttable a while ago (maybe put that in too )
