Hello,
I am pleased to announce the biggest update so far that we have been working on for the last couple of weeks, I want to thank @SkreePy and @ShockWave for all the work that has been done! And @Timbo360 for the designs! It's been nice to see them being so motivated and let me tell you something, they got so motivated because of your presence on the server, I do believe it is the beginning of the journey, you can surely expect lots of new features or updates in the upcoming weeks because we appreciate each one of you.
Panel
It has been a long and bumpy road until we got here but I do believe all the effort and trial were worth it because nothing makes us happier than the excitement and satisfaction of yours. Let's talk about the updates and new features.
Home
A home panel has been added so you can have an overlook on the most important stuff there instantly, such as your closest achievement to reach, donator status and expiration date, last played clan wars of the server and the clan-related stuff: News & Changelogs.
Notifications
Notifications have been added, and you are able to view them. You receive notifications for most parts, but it will be expanded over time. Currently supported notifications: Clans, map like/dislike, event start, clan war requests, achievements.
Clan notifications background colour takes the team colour for easier identification.
Map details
[SIZE= 16px]The possibility of checking the details of the maps has been added. On top of that, you can now easily see the top times on a map without the necessity of buying it. You can see all the necessary information, such as name, place, time difference and country.[/SIZE]
Clans
[SIZE= 16px]Also, the Clan page went through a change, we ordered the buttons new to make it more clear and to make it a better visual. We also revamped the icons, the statistics and the overall theme. Since we wanna make it big, we also added a new feature for the clans and that is Clan logos that u can get through TFCs.[/SIZE]
Speaking of TFC, what exactly is that? Spelt out it means "The Favoured Coins". How can u get these coins u may ask? You can get them through donating to our clan or through participating in our Events/Tournaments or helping us out in refining some of our clan wars etc. And for what you can use them I hear another one asking. Well, simply put the mentioned Clan logo into ur clan page and also you can convert them into in-game money (conversion rate: 1 TFC = 400$ in-game money). That's not it though, these coins will be useful for more stuff in the future with new upcoming updates but for what exactly, will be our secret for now!
Achievements
Achievements also got a new design - from now on you will not only be able to see the values needed to reach the achievements but have a nice overview of the progress, and the prizes! Let's not forget about a selector, where you can filter the 'completed' or the 'in progress' achievements.
Reports
[SIZE= 16px]You are now able to report the rule breakers in-game! In case you wondered, yes, you can also report an admin as well! All you have to do is fill out the form provided and then submit the report. If you have something more to add or want to provide evidence, you can do so, because the report is posted on the forum in the right section.[/SIZE]
Premium
We have reworked the Premium system to improve the flexibility and the user experience of our users. This means, that instead of in-game money you will receive so-called The Favoured Coins which you can use for different options - buy in-game money from it, deposit it to your clan, buy donator status (after your donators have expired for example).
Not to mention, premium members are now able to set custom titles above their nickname/supernick. If it is not set, the team name will be shown - only for Donors. This is obviously accessible from the panel!
Issues
Issues have been also redesigned and we have removed the value from the selector 'Visual Issue' as it was unused by people, and we have renamed Ideas/Requests to Enhancements.
Off-topic from the panel: Issues - Let me mention, we saw your requests and bug reports but we do ask for some time to process them. There is one more thing to mention, when you open an issue please only write one bug/request at a time, otherwise, we will close the issue because it is hard for us to close the issues when there are multiple parts of it, and some of them are not going to be implemented but if we close with success, you may think it was implemented, which we don't plan to. So please next time when you open an issue bare in mind what has been said.
Login
Not much to say we optimised our old login and changed the design a bit for a better look.
Lobby
Tired of the old Lobby design? So were we and with that, we want to present the brand new lobby we made from scratch. We completely reworked it and made it more beautiful but also more practical. We correspondingly ordered them, updated the pictures, recoloured and added the clan war arenas accordingly to their representative game modes. We also adjusted the training arena and the garage for easier access.
Scoreboard
[SIZE= 16px]We have also redesigned the scoreboard to give you easier navigation and a better overview of the online players, arenas and teams. I am sure that you will like this type of scoreboard because it looks so much smoother and easier to read, and understand.[/SIZE]

Join requests and clan war squad
Not only did we changed the visuals and optics of our server to make something unique and special, but we also decided to change the way we handle the join requests.
We decided to judge join requests "individually"
What does that mean?
So, to everyone that is interested in joining our little family from now on, we will vote and evaluate each join request individually and not as a group anymore.
Why are we doing this?
People tend to be impatient with the way we handle our join requests because it usually takes about 1.5 - 2 months for new trials and with that we wanna reduce the waiting time for everyone.
Also from what we´ve learned, this might be the best method to handle join requests and from now on this will be our new format when it comes to join requests.
We also aim to rebuild our Clanwar squads for each style (WFF, DM and HDM), so if you are interested in joining us and help us out to reach that goal, you are more than welcome to apply.
