More than just a simple game mode

News — Past Updates

As you know we haven't announced much stuff on the Steam group as we actively use the discord instead so this will be a post to keep everyone updated, regrouping all updates we've released over the past months.

The Bow is a new weapon that has been added, with respect to the Valentine’s day theme of February, and a new Medieval vibe for sheriffs to enjoy. The Bow may be unlocked by completing the Defender achievement.

To add up to the competitive aspect of the server, it has been decided to implement a Weekly Ranking system. Each week, the player that has gained the most Experience Points will be awarded with the "Champion of the Week" rank for the duration of the week complete with XP, Points, and a shiny golden Crown next to their name! A new winner is selected every week. The rewards are as follows—

• 250,000 Experience
• 100,000 Points
• Mystery Box
• Champion of the Week Crown scoreboard icon*
*Expires after 7 days.

Note: Experience gained by completing achievements or weekly quests do not contribute to your weekly ranking.

From this moment on, donators will gain the ability to turn their owned items into a chat message - show off their valuable items by sending a chat message. This can be done in two ways - open up the point shop (F3 or !shop), then click on any item in your inventory while holding Shift. This will copy that item's ID which you can paste in the chat box and send afterwards. Alternatively, having your chat opened while doing so will automatically put that item in your chat box instead. The message should look something like this: https://i.imgur.com/nQTEXst.png

As you are all aware, the alternate currency for Pointshop 2 Donator Points is no longer used since the 05/30/2018 update. As such, we decided to implement a new Pointshop currency known as Tokens. This currency is only obtainable from the Québec Games store and therefore we decided to make an In-Game store. This means that we've moved some of the packages that were already on the store into a new Pointshop category, such as the Shuffled Knives and Shuffled Guns crates. Points and Ranks, however, will remain on the website store and won't be affected by this update. To acquire Tokens, you MUST purchase them on our store at www.qcgames.org/english (again, they cannot be obtained by playing on the server).

Ever experienced a round where the murderer(s) left instantly and the round ended just like that? We've worked on something to prevent this from happening in the future. In our current system, if all murderers leave the game or die before the grace period of 10 seconds has ended, a random bystander - without a weapon - will automatically be selected and become the new murderer for that round. If you are ever selected, a red message will pop up in your chat box. This will have no effect on the following achievements - Bloodlust, I am Useless and Kill Joy.

As you may or may not know, we worked on the map mu_clue_v2 in the past month and have collected your painting suggestions. With that said, we changed a total of 49 paintings, using our community's ideas, and reworked some other textures! I'd like to thank everyone who submitted their idea(s), this significantly helped us out in the process. If you wish to revert back and stick to the old clue textures, they can be toggled at any time in User Profile.

Two new achievements are to be found and completed on the server with this update.

• Outlaw - Kill a staff member
• Chopped Up! - Using the Axe, kill 3 or more bystanders with a single throw

From this moment on, Gold donators and higher don't need to create a ticket on the website in order to submit their custom bystander names. This has been moved to the User Settings under the Custom Name tab and thus this process can now be done in-game!

Note: Due to this, all custom names already in place were removed as some of them were not meeting our standards and requirements. No worries though, every Gold and higher will be able to resubmit new nicknames for the server.
