- 1 worst changes omerta has ever seen! :r

KCode at 22:14:26 on 22/05:
I know not everyone is happy with current state of game and we are part of the group of people that can't enjoy having monthly versions.

There is a long path to go and I think it's possible to bring full joy to everyone in the game again (from slow to fast rankers, from killers to busters, people that just want to chat and stay around with friends...)

Sometimes it's hard for everyone to understand what has been done and how much we're working to improve the game, so I just want to leave the last changelog (this was all done in less than 2 months).

With DM being fully DC-free, we expect to be able to move faster from TEST to main versions.

Hope you guys enjoyed the changes, more to come so we can finally focus on the app! :)

-----------
Changelog:

Account plating
Since people like to kill each other very early in version giving it a big advantage to families with higher numbers and closign the version earlier, we should allow the game to develop until there is at least Godfathers to make sure users can experience the full roleplay of the game.
Milestones will work better, everything will work better once the game is able to develop from 1 war = 1 version.

Fixes
- Every account is 2x harder to kill
- Plating is gone for single user after user shoots 1 time
- Plating is gone for all version 24 hours after the first Godfather is promoted
- Added plating information to allusers page

You can find more information about account plating: http://omerta.wiki/x/fICp.

Busters and Jail changes
Busters are a big part of the game and they have almost no benefits and play very few part in the game apart from jail and become community heros.

Fixes
- Captcha is back on jail page like before
- Busters can now join OCs and MOCs as Explosive Experts if they meet the following criteria
- Busters can join OC (independent of rank) if they have 6875 BOs (25%)
- Busters can join MOC (independent of rank) if they have 13750 BOs (50%)
- Re-added forum links back on jail page

Rebirth
Current page of Milestones is not informative at all and it bugs a lot

Fixes
- Remake the UI using more modern design
- Fix the percentage to be working correctly (from 0 to 100) instead of starting at 80% for every milestone
- Fix and bring back the work experience milestone with a different concept (4 bars instead of 1)
- Fix bug when user selects ingame that already exist, all selected milestones previous get deleted
- Remove the option for user to be able to select milestones where value is 0

Kill and family fixes
There is basically no penalty for families that spam invites and invite everyone, with this in mind, making very easy for a member of your own family to backstab you it would force families to know who is in their family!

Fixes
- Fix a bug where killing a capo from other family will 'promote' a new person to capo instead of splitting the spots to the killer.
- Fix a bug where buying till 99% health wouldn't remove you from Hospital time
- Added UI information about user being in Hospital.
- Fix a bug where killing a capo from other family will 'promote' a new person to capo instead of splitting the spots to the killer.

If you shoot someone inside your family you will have certain benefits:
- 2x easier to kill your target
- There is 1/3 backfire damage if you shoot someone of same capo regime (including the capo/don)
- There is 1/2 of backfire damage if you shoot someone outside your regime (in your family still)

Races, Organized Crimes and Roles
The Heist patch was really successful, now it's time to balance some things a bit better.
Raceform is a good concept but it's too basic at the moment, so we need to make some changes related to the way 'roles' work.

Fixes
- Modify bullet buy range to 100-1000 from 250-500
- Heist, OC, MOC and Raids now give more RP in general but also give other extra stats:

Heists/Raid:
- Leader gets X% extra RP
- Driver gets X% raceform

OC/MOC
- Leader gets X% extra RP
- Driver gets X% raceform
- WE gets x/2% raceform, x/2 extra RP
- EE gets X% jail bust skill (busters can join)

Casinos
Bringing back the excitment of anyone can own a casino, as long as they have the courage to keep it. So, we're removing the connection between spots and casinos and bringing back "Gambling Office".

Fixes

Chat
Chat is pretty much impossible to use as it's full of spam for orgcrimes/races

Fixes
- Split the sidebar into 2 smaller windows one above each other and keep #general as main channel that doesn't move while having the #city and #family channels on the upper part
- Ban search for org crimes/races in #general
- Show game deaths as events on #general (to create conversation)
