[h1]The King announces a new Beta![/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41859068/b7e6e02dc8e02fa4fa49c02316cd6f22e0e5c7c5.png[/img] Hello again heroes! We've been away a loooong time thinking about our whole development cycle, our future plans, and what else could we do with Just King. Out of all our crazy ideas, our most unrealistic one turned out pretty fun in the end: we are adding PvP to Just King! Today we are launching the open beta to stress test our servers and catch any bugs that might be troublesome once we start the leaderboards for real! [h2]*NEW* Game mode: Duel[/h2] [previewyoutube=KfMZoozqtHw;full][/previewyoutube] The new game mode is a full autobattler that pitches one player's party against another's. You will have access to all your unlocked heroes and items to assemble your party, then our servers will fetch a stored party form another player for you to face. The mode is a full autobattler, so once the battle starts you just sit back and watch the mayhen! Of course, as all parties are full of the King's dearest heroes, the King himself doens't participate on either side, he is the arbiter, a Just Arbiter! (sorry) [h3]Objective[/h3] You score points if you win the 10th round. Your run ends if you lose twice before round 10 or if you lose on round 10. At each Tuesday, a server reset happpens and the top 3 players are placed in the Weekly Leadeboard for extra honor and validation. [h3]Round structure[/h3] Runs are a mix between PvE and PvP rounds, totalling 10 rounds. A full run takes from 10 to 15 minutes. Rounds 1, 4, and 7 are PvE against Nanas, all the other rounds are PvP. [h3]Adjustments[/h3] All heroes had their status and skills modified for this mode, as a baseline, all gained +50% HP and +1 armor per level. Lots of other small changes to values and scales so you will need to check the tooltips to theorycraft your dream party. Items also have been adjusted and we even have a new Duel-only item - Ninja Gear - which allows your hero to jump into the enemy backline at the start of the battle!
