Hey everyone, We are here with another month over and done with, and another post to give you updates on the Noble Network! Sorry, about this being a day late had a lot going on in and around the Network! This month has been big for updates on the Network, so be sure to take a read! Content Updates Support Center As part of our efforts to make the process of getting support, we have added the Support team, which is ran by JessiieeBae. If you have an issue with a purchase, a player or member of Staff, simply click “Support Center” on the navigation bar! You can learn how to use the Support Center here. Hub This month, we had our old Hub build replaced by a magnificent one, built by our very own Divinity Build Team! If you have not seen it, be sure to check it out live on the Hub! This is not the only build they will be doing for the Noble Network; you will be seeing a lot more of their work in the coming months! Survival This month, Survival has seen some major improvements to it, some small, and some major. These are the following changes made to Survival: Chat formatting changed When you hover over someone’s name in the chat on Survival, you will be presented with information about him or her, from their balance, to the amount of votes they have. Clicking their name will auto-fill your chat with a template to private message them, making it a lot quicker and easier to get in contact with that person! Voting Vote Reward Buffs Voting for the Noble Network on Survival will now reward you far greatly to what it did before. You will now receive a Vote Case for each vote you make towards the Noble Network! Vote Cases As mentioned above, Vote Cases are also a new addition to the Noble Network, and currently reside in Survival only, but will be rolled out to the rest of the Network soon! These cases contain a random set of items, which can be good, or could be easy to collect that you can win from the cases. They work similar to our Crate system that you can use at the Hub, where the items will scroll and stop on one item, which is the one you win! Vote Parties We have changed how often a Vote Party is commenced. Instead of 50 votes for a Vote Party, we have upped this to 300 votes to begin a Vote Party, which also means we have buffed the rewards you can earn from each crate! Mob Arena That is right; Mob Arena has made a return! The well-loved game that everyone has been asking for a long time is now back! At the moment of writing this, the arena is in maintenance, but will be fully ready very shortly! If you do not know what Mob Arena is, it is a game that we have had on Survival in the past with custom waves of mobs, classes and immensely difficult bosses to fight, but can be very rewarding! 1v1 Arena Due to the demand for more PvP servers, we have had our very own Lew_ design a 1v1 PvP system that will allow you to go head-to-head against another player in a small 1v1 arena with kits! These kits are voted for before the match begins, and if both players choose different kits, the game will choose one at random out of the two so that the game is as fair as possible, and not where one person has diamond gear, whilst the other has leather. Crates Thanks to the work of both fooify and Incomp, Survival now has crates that can be dropped from mobs at random on the server! These range from Junk Crates to Heroic Crates, and all scale on their rewards depending on the type of Crates they are! You can read more about the Crates here! Drop Parties Incomp has been modifying the Drop Parties to make them a lot more enjoyable and worth it. With this, he has added a few more Legendary Items to the final drop, and also made it so the person who purchased the Drop Party will always receive at least one Legendary Item before the Drop Party begins! SkyBlock For the month of May, we decided to bring SkyBlock down and are in the process of resetting it to make it a lot more stable and enjoyable for you all to play on. There will be more news to come on SkyBlock in the near future! Creative We are happy to announce that this month, Creative has made a full return, to the delight of many of you! We have merged all of the old perks from each /rankup rank and put them all into the Player rank, meaning you can add your friends to your plots right off the bat! We decided that we would not be resetting the server, and instead had a new spawn built thanks to FlyingJent and Tom Pearson! We hope you enjoy Creative, and build yourselves some amazing structures! You can get to Creative from anywhere on the Network by doing /creative Plots Not much has been changed on Plots for May, however we plan on giving Plots the same treatment we have been giving Survival in May, all through June! Despite this, we have still added some new content to the server through May! A well-requested feature to be brought back were the mines, and we have delivered on your requests! You can now do either /mine-1 or /mine-2 on the server, and you will be taken to either a stone-based mine, or a dirt-based mine, all packed with rare blocks that you cannot get very often! Store Updates The Store has been slightly overhauled. On top of the new theme we had created in April, we have now reorganized it to be sorted by the Servers, rather than by the perk, meaning that if you want to get money for Survival, you can simply go into the Survival tab and select “Money”. On top of the changes made to the Store, we have added Mob Spawners to the Store for Survival! This means you can now obtain spawners for mobs that are not possible to get in regular Survival! The prices for each spawner range depending on what type of mob it is, and how useful they can be. The last change to the Store that has been made is that now, Supporter is known as Sponsor. We have done this to avoid confusion between a Supporter and a Support representative from the Forums. Staffing Updates Leadership Team I am extremely happy to announce that JessiieeBae returned to the Noble Network after her short leave. We are grateful for her hard work that she puts into this Network and we know she will continue to do fantastic work during her time on the Noble Network! Admin Team There have been some heavy changes over the last month in regards towards the Admin Team. Although they have not had a formal welcoming, I would like to take part of this post to formally welcome them to the Noble Network. Be sure to welcome Goatmilkington, Zombo_ and Necrai to the Admin Team if you see them around! Goatmilkington is in charge of the Forum Commanding team, who take care of maintaining the Forums and ensuring everything is in check to keep the website safe for you all! Zombo_ is in charge of the Helper Management team, and assists in the running of the Staff Team with JessiieeBae. If you have any questions about the Staff Team, feel free to contact Zombo_! Necrai is in charge of the Noble Network Quality Assurance Team. This team is especially important to the running of the Network, and ensuring that the content we create for you is working as intended! Development Team There have been major improvements to the Development Team over the last month, some of which you may have seen on the Network from some of the new additions. I would like to welcome fooify, Incomp and TheMineBench to the Noble Network Development Team! Some of their work is already on Survival, such as the Crates that drop from mobs, and much more content in the future! Promotions Although this was only done today, I believe it would be better to post about it now, rather than at the end of the month. I would like to welcome PenguinFisher to the Noble Network Moderator Team!
