These changes aim to promote a more fluid game experience by preventing stalling, and solving the issue of popup autoclickers. Players can no longer leave their computers open with an autoclicker, because claiming a popup will un-camouflage you, leaving you vulnerable to attacks which you may not be online to participate in. Expect more changes to items, the UI, and general bug fixes!! :)

There's a difference between accusations and false accusations. For example, saying @Chibi has an inviting aura is a false accusation.

NOOOO PLS where’s that asteroid just hit us already

I've come down with a cold today, and coupled with the work I'm doing for Royale I've been a bit slow to respond to Admin tickets and such. I'm trying to heal quickly so I can get back on my A Game 💕

I just saw a reddit post dated "9y" and thought damn this is some prehistoric info, and then hovered over it and saw 2017... because why was I fully expecting it to say 2012??

Thank you for all of the feedback, the good and the bad. The main sentiment was this game was extremely fun but it would be nice to make comps feel a bit more important. After meditating on it for hours, I believe I have a game changing solution! As well as some changes to the items :) Excited to share the full game with you all!

The objective of a test game is to break the game as much as possible for the sake of quality assurance. I would appreciate if the Royale testers would notify me of all the bugs/exploits that I may not be aware of, but for the most part you all did a great job finding all the issues with the game and it has made me so excited to open the gates to the public! When Royale enrolment opens, I plan on allowing everyone on the site to try out the game. The question is, down the line should this remain the case? Should all players who signed up for Royale be split into different games or would you prefer a "reaping" situation? I want the game to be accessible but I also want it to stay feeling special, so let me know your thoughts!

P.S I will be slower to respond to admin tickets this week whilst I tweak Royale and launch it for everyone :)

It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll

I knew @Xakim wouldn't let me live for long. That our heated rivalry style bond would be short lived. Nor would his crew. So when we struck a deal to give him my health pack for his energy drink, I knew in that moment that I had to take his energy drink and make a run for it. I'm now on the opposite side of the map to the crew I got stuck with for the first 8 hours. My people. But I think I lost Xakim. I just hope Manon was able to hold him off long enough 🕊️

I'm having a panic attack. @Xakim is one square away from me and I saw him multiple times scouting the entire bottom right side of the map so I know he's got a stacked inventory. I'm shaking and injured and terrified. Someone please sponsor a vape.

because I spent 21 straight hours launching it yesterday and you better believe I'm trying it out :] I'll be keeping a diary of my experiences, Last night I snuck into the cornucopia while @Xakim's group was asleep and fired a #SinMissile. The Corn belongs to me and my Serpenti Baia Purse

Starting in a sec! https://kovaze.com/royale.php?gameid=9949

It looks like I might be the first victim of Royale

It's still set to soft launch tonight with a test group selected through a random draw (possibly on livestream, will delve more into this later). This will allow me to witness the game in a controlled environment to make any last minute changes. If needed, more test groups will be reaped into Royale. The game will then open to the public in the coming days, sooner if things go smoothly. Thank you all for your patience!! 💘

I've always said that this website is for all of us, by all of us. A few months ago, it was quite easy to scope out the general sentiment of the website to determine the direction we go in. As the site has grown, so have the suggestions and complaints, and I have been too busy with admin work to stay on top of the diverse opinions of our beautiful community. Introducing: The Kouncil - 5 users selected democratically to voice the opinions of their constituents. They will not have any special powers, but will join me in Kouncil meetings where we will discuss the current affairs of Kovaze, and partake in Kouncil votes which will shape the future of Kovaze. I will still spearhead the bigger updates on the website as I am confident in my ability to deliver what the people want - but the Kouncil will step in when there's uncertainty regarding what the people want. This is not a paid role, including Koinz. You should want to do this because you care about the site. You should be well connected in the community to know what the people want. You should not have any self-serving motives and I will personally make sure of that. Each month, we'll be holding Elections which operate in two stages: Nominations, and The Election. During the nomination phase, anyone can nominate themselves to run for Kouncil. You (or other players) can place a donation bid for your campaign. The top 10 most funded campaigns will move on to the Election Phase where they will answer questions, as the rest of the site votes for their preferred candidates. (Note: Donations will not be taken from unsuccessful campaigns) We hope this helps build Kovaze in the direction of the people!

I'm thinking of removing Elo for Hysteria, and instead having a 1v1 "Training Ground" game (it would be a side feature like bingo) where you get matched with an opponent and play a comp against them which will change your elo. This should satisfy both the practice comp crowd and still have a competitive elo scene for those who want to climb! I loved the idea of having elo for games but I'm not sure the site is big enough yet to sustain fairness in an 11 person ranked game. I also think Hysteria would in turn become more exciting if players could swing big without fearing their elo dropping. This begs the question though - Waiting Rooms or no waiting rooms? 1 Game at a time? Lots to think about. Share your thoughts!
