Hi Bees, Thanks for dropping in to read about our latest "love" update to Gravity! Love updates are small quality of life updates that we give to games every now and again, packed full of suggestions, bug fixes and more. Read on for more! Game Cosmetics Finally Gravity has some awesome cosmetics you can buy! We have everything from join messages to stage completion packs, there's definitely something for everyone: Join Messages: 9 cosmetics Stage Messages: 5 cosmetics/packs (each pack with its own set of messages to be displayed!) Boots: 17 colors & materials to pick from! These cosmetics can be purchased from the game's lobby (where you wait for the game to start) right now! So get spending those hard earned Tokens. Hardcore Mode Gravity is the second Hive game to feature "Hardcore Mode", a variation of the game designed for the real pros! Hardcore Mode can be enabled in the lobby via the dye in the middle slot, and comes with its own set of stats for you to compete with your friends. What is different in this mode, you may be asking? The following applies to players in Hardcode Mode ONLY: 3 lives Fully visible players Skipping/retrying levels is disabled If you have any suggestions on how we can make this harder, feel free to let us know! We love feedback. Live Placings & Win Streaks We've improved the in-game action bar a bit, where we've included your current place compared to all of the other players dropping/flalling. This way you can really tell how well you're doing, even with players off as well as give a more competitive feeling. As with other recent game updates, we've also added Win Streaks. These are earned if you come in the top 5 players, and are reset if you: Finish 6th place or further /hub, /newgame, queue, etc out of a game while you're still playing Die during hardcore mode Bug Fixes & Small Improvements As with every update, we've included some small bug fixes and visual improvements that can be found below: Improved "Game Over" title during the end game state Removed "gg" achievement as it is not obtainable by muted players Fixed an issue where the game would think you finished the next map while still in the last map's portal Fixed an issue that allowed players to remove/mess around with items in Item Frames Made your player visibility setting follow you across games We hope you enjoy the update, bees! As always feel free to post any constructive feedback you may have in the thread comments, we're always open to making reasonable changes. Stay awesome, The Hive Team
Yassssss! Thank you Myles and Blake for these awesome game updates recently. We have a lot more in the works for the Java network, which we'll let you know more about when we're closer. Don't fear though, Java is being worked on! We're expanding our team to make sure we can keep improving and (hopefully) meet everyones expectations.
I have always been bad at Gravity but it's still a fun game nice update, will definitely check it out later.
Is the issue where you don't get points after a round fixed? Really cool update btw, gravity can become very repetetive after a while. It was highly needed.
Yeah, it would be nice to instantly join lobbies directly after exiting a finished game and not have to worry about not getting points from the previous games, just like other minigames. Makes it a little faster to grind and stuff, no need to wait ~3 seconds to join a new lobby.
I like gravity updates, and like this update because Gravity havn't gotten anything major update in ages so keep it up But personally I would like new ranks, since its 10 people with gravity defiance (it's only 2M, not 2.5M) and the last time gravity had a new ranks was 3+ years ago. And it is also 6 people atm with 3M+ points. (I remember hive also said they would realise new ranks when 10 people got superman and they did, kind of think it should be like that now)
If you use the queue system (/newgame, etc) this should be fixed now! Are there any threads for new ranks that you could link me? If not, feel free to make one and once the community comes to agreement I'll get them added.
i think the win streak should be 1st place only? everyone high on grav lbs has a 99%+ top5/game ratio so the win streak lb is just going to become such silly numbers in the 1000s. 1st place only would really make it competitive
The reason I decided to make it top 5 was honestly to see how high the numbers would go, as well as give the dedicated players that may not be amazing at the game to get a high streak or even be on the leaderboard. However if this is something a lot of people would like changed, then this can be done! (However we'd most likely reset the current streaks to make it fair.)
