    What the crap guys? I've gone on plenty of servers that are practically dance floors, the light shows are so intense. Gold servers have all the new stuff (day/night, all the workshops, but not zombies).

    The castle issue is beyond simple. Leave one space somewhere in the castle backwall. Viola, light.

    Yes you can, watch your minimap.

    Not really.

    Lanters are buyable in Multiplayer for premium users, but only on premium servers. Same stuff with kegs. So far one server have it. But im not sure if this is official or mod... It was on ! Action. Somebody can confirm if multiplayer stuff is official?

    It is modded in, all of those extra workshops are. Generally speaking most of the premium servers probably don't have them but I suspect that this will get server owners to get off their asses and get us some nice and balanced content. I was trying hard yesterday to balance the new features nicely and toss in some fun, still need some balancing with kegs, but other than that, in general it worked great. Lanterns are awesome as hell for night mode, not needed in tunnels but do help, toss 'em everywhere and you get fun times.

    P.S. I tossed code for colored lanterns and such to a few other people, so hopefully some more people will use it :d

    Everyone is having a go at tunnlers, last night, me and 4 guys using a speak chat tunneled from behind our base all the way to theirs, got the flag, blocked off the entrance, while three guys did all the work, then we had tea in a underground bunker (I ended up destroying the table XD) and we won.

    I missed this somehow... Do you have any idea who you're talking about? I wouldn't say I'm the best builder, but I'm pretty darned decent. And BlueLuigi is one of the best players in this game.

    ...Who are you, again? If you're the Beelzebub kid I saw in game crying about lanterns, I saw your tunnel. You've got far bigger problems than being able to see, trust me.

    Average rebuttal from a low Iq pug. :rollseyes:

    Regarding lighting, I'm in for the idea for assorted lanterns as some map makes would like that. :p

    I have played on the action premium server for hours with my other paid account and the lighting issue is much better. What is unfortunate is that with the incomplete lighting system for non premium players sucks and I think will hurt sales of the premium version out of frustration in the tunnels.

    I really do not want this game to get to the point where only long time elite snobs play the game and shun all new players. That is the worst thing that can happen in terms of profit.

    In terms of an actual lighting emergency, there appears to be issues with light at the edges of the maps and with drawbridges in darkness.

    There's a bug if you put a ladder on the wall, you can see better. I think...

    People use ladders to trap lanterns.

    To enter into the debate of tunneling, It's not necessary a noob tactic. The only thing to NEVER do is indeed to start it from your base. But if the ennemy seems to have an imprenetrable tower, then you can start to dig in front of it and get through it (and why not a little bit farther) Then as it might be a short tunnel, lantern wouldn't be necessary, unless you block the enter with doors to make it unvisible to the ennemy, and then get a surprise effect to those who didn't see it.

    Whoa what? I've been playing on modded servers this whole time? Well I thank you for your incredibly fast contribution to make multiplayer ten times more fun, and colorful.
