Ohoy there!

New update on the way, this is the second part of the Armoury/quest expansion.

Gangs with a fully upgraded armoury will have the ability to dispatch elite guards to any wasteland square controlled by the gang.
Equipped with some of the finest apparel credits can buy, guards will fight by your side and die for your cause!

But... be strategic about how you dispatch your available guards, you'll only regain 2 per hour, op to a capacity of 10.
(Open for further expansion later down the road, but let's see how this goes first.)

However, you'll have to keep your armoury well maintained at all times, upkeep cost of 1% per day, will be automatically deducted from a random donated material.
Failure to maintain the armoury will have it falling into decay to a state where it must be repaired in order to be usable again. (Upgrades will be kept, and items won't be lost)

Yes I'm aware that'll take some time before any gang has a rank 10 amoury, so here is some teasers:

A new raid has been released as part of the ongoing A Hive Legacy series! Chapter 2 is out now for Level 15+. If you don't see it, please complete Chapter 1!

I paintstakingly put together a raid editor GUI, in the same vein as the other extensive WL Map Editor. It uses the new map engine I wrote for wl (and eventually the actual raid system itself will soon use this map engine).

What this means is that it's much, MUCH easier for me to build new raids. Chapter 1 took a few hours start-to-end. In the past, the same raid could've taken a lot of tedious effort over days. You will see the Hive Legacy chapters come out relatively fast between each other!

The item you receive at the end of Chapter 2 is a quest item. You cannot sell it back to the game (yet). You will need it for Chapter 3. I made this raid doable twice so you could get 2 of the same item in case it's hard to complete Chapter 3 or for w/e other reasons.

Other notes:
- Halloween npc/jobs will be going away this coming Monday (Nov 9th).
- Reminder: Double Gains will start Nov 14th, 12:01 AM EST (server time, a minute past midnight).
- Check out Kraster's raid idea in the WL & Raids forum! I'd love to hear more discussion/thoughts on it.

Looking into remedies for the lag. I've pushed some code I'm hoping will help reduce server/database stress initially, and over time we'll try to make some more optimizations to help deal with the current load.

We are seeing unprecedented numbers in wasteland active at the same time (unprecedented in the sense that it's been a very long time since we've had this many online) so as activity evens out, it'll get a better there as well. That + live wl = server stress.

As a volunteer dev, without direct server access, it's tricky to do deeper, more granular debugging of the server or database utilization but generally the live WL is a problem so will keep trying some fixes over the course of this week, starting tomorrow.

As a little "sorry your day sucked in WL" token, I'll be running double gains for the game November 14th and 15th (Saturday and Sunday) starting at 12:01 AM Server Time Saturday (right after midnight) and ending at the end of the weekend at night - Sunday 11:59 PM.

Please stop pm'ing me asking me what is AM and PM which part of the day is which.

The new map is live. It's a void map, so no HQs.

There's an issue with the grid inside of the WL, it's very dark. I turned off clouds and fog of war that were present on the WTF mode map, and this is the result. Aldo might know how to fix it but I can't reach him currently, so we'll have to deal with this for a little while.

Good luck everyone!

Also, here are the standings from the WTF mode map just for fun.

??? - 19690 points
Chapter - 10540 points
Outcasts - 9630 points
Dark Flame - 8510 points
Blade of Dawn - 3180 points
