Lazarus_Event - Yar har fiddle dee-dee...

Pirates. Devil's Triangle. Sharks. Cap the point to roll the dice on unique events.

Third time's the charm?

Artpass coming soon, alpha tests are for ironing out the kinks in the events. Layout will be minimally changed.

I feel like high tide & flying dutchmann both achieve the same kind of thing, giving vertical movement, but high tide also just makes a lot of things not function like teleporters and snipers. I think you should consider replacing it with something else.
Also, drunken sailor is fun but it's also a bit.. underwhelming? I understand why it's short, but I feel like it could use some secondary effect that lasts a bit longer.

Backfeed time

-Dunno if you want people doing this but I can jump to that pole in the water

-Really like this new route and area

-The big holes in the portcullis makes it look like they can be shot through even though they cant. Degroot keep doesn't have that problem due to not having guns. You may want to fill em in with a grate or wire or something.

-collision with this rock is pretty awkward. put some simplified clipping around it

-what is going on with some of these displacements?

-Now that's metal

-big seam at red spawn bottom exit

That's all for now

A10

General
- Removed crate from behind the Chest
- Fixed a displacement seam
- Added visual effects to the Chest when it opens

Down Under
- Raised underworld entrance points so players float downward longer and get a better sense of the changed gravity
- Increased speed of exit plume
- Added a momentum buffer to the entrance points so players can't be flung off any platforms upon arrival
- Added more "safety nets" in the underworld to make platforming easier and grant players a second chance if they fall off the final platform

Cannonball Run
- Slightly spread out the initial cannon targets on the capture point
- Reduced explosion damage to 120. It won't kill you. But you'll wish it did.

[ShadowMan44]

The name should be something like "Hazerus", a play on "haze" and "hazardous". "Lazarus Event" is just too simple.
