Warfare Open Alpha (6PM EST)

​

Hey, everyone!

After nearly two years of requests, we are finally bringing back KitPvP! This time, it will return in the form of “Warfare”, our own type of PvP game developed solely for the Noble Network! For the open alpha, there will be four kits available to everyone! The kits and their abilities are as follows:

	Class	Primary Weapon	Secondary Weapon
1	Recruit	Axe – Speed 6 (3 seconds) – Allows you to speed around your enemy, making it more difficult for them to hit you!	Bow – Shield Disabler (1 shot) – Power up the shield disabler to destroy your enemy’s shield!
2	Mercenary	Sword – Flash (1 throw) – Outnumbered and low on health? Use the Flash ability to make a quick escape to regenerate your health!	Bow – Explosive Aura (1 shot) Surrounded by multiple enemies? Use the Explosive Aura to quickly damage all enemies within a radius of four blocks of you!
3	Ninja	Axe – Smoke Aura (1 hit) – Make a quick escape from your enemy by hitting them with Smoke Aura, applying blindness 3 for 3 seconds to them!	Blow Dart – Poison Dart – Shoot your enemy with a Blow Dart to stun your enemy! Applies Nausea 11 for 8 seconds.
4	Witch	Sword – Wither Aura (1 shot) – Press your item drop key (Default Q) to fire a Wither Skull towards your enemy! Inflicts heavy damage to enemy’s shields and health if their shield is down!	Bow – Fire Ambience – Set all players in your vicinity on fire!

The biggest change to how Warfare is played is our custom shield system. Every player has a shield similar to the one seen in Halo, which does regenerate if you do not take damage for a few seconds. The shield system uses a custom damage system that and does not take into account any buffs seen in vanilla items, so it is an entirely new system that nobody has yet used! This means that certain abilities within the classes work better at depleting the shields than others, so choose your classes wisely!

The open alpha will continuously run whilst we gather bugs that we have received and fix them up and change the game in accordance to the feedback we receive and up until the open beta!

The launch time for Warfare is 6PM EST tonight! We hope you are as excited as we are to finally get to try it out! A lot of work has gone in to remaking one of our most anticipated game modes! When Warfare is opened, simply do /kitpvp to get to the game!

 

You get the kits by right-clicking the NPCs in the spawn.

 

The alpha is to simply test the game itself to make sure the concept works.
