How to Play
Getting Started
- In this minigame, everyone works together to gather resources and built a defense against waves of mobs.
- Food is scare, so don't forget to build farms or you'll starve to death. That's no fun!
- The Mine contains vaulable resources, but beware, it closes during waves of mobs. Don't get stuck down there!
- Glowing Mobs drop gold which can be exchanged for items in The Chapel.
- Keep an eye out for the Golden Sheep! It is made out of precious old.
The Playfield
The playfield is divided into three zones:
- The Chapel: a safe zone where you can purchase items to aid your defense, learn how to play, and view the scoreboard.
- The Graveyard: where the action happens. It is here where you will build your defense within the green border and defend against the onslaught.
- The Mine: where you can dig for ores and find chests filled with items. The mine closes during waves.
Earning Points
Cure Zombie Villagers and keep them alive by the end of the game to earn a point. For Villagers to count towards points, they must be within the defensible space of The Graveyard. Keeping Villagers in The Mines for example, does not count towards points. Total points will factor into the prize pool at the end.
Rules
- No Griefing.
- At least one player must remain in The Graveyard during a wave. If a player dies during a wave, and there are no other players in The Graveyard, the wave ends. The Chapel is not part of The Graveyard.
Waves
The waves increase in difficulty as well in number of waves. Every series of waves ends with a Boss Wave. Complete the Boss Waves to advance. Successful completion of a Boss Wave triggers Peace Time, which allows players to make repairs, fortify, farm, mine, or purchase items. The more Boss Waves you complete, the higher your score. Higher scores result in better rewards!
There are two types of waves: Practice Waves and the Graded Waves.
- Practice Waves: 10 fairly easy waves to help test your defenses, grind out extra resources, and hopefully heal some villagers. If TracerON is online and available, you can always ask for a practice wave.
- Graded Waves: These are the official waves held at the end of the week. These waves will put your defenses to the ultimate test and feature Boss Waves. Every 5th Wave is a Boss Wave. Survive the Boss Wave to advance to the next set of waves and increase the Waves Survived counter by 1. Every two Boss Waves completed earns you 5 minutes of Peacetime, where you can restock or reinforce before the onslaught arrives.
