@Akomine and
@Airborne101st45 decided to run a third UHC. As before, there will be a twist.
The twist this season is everlasting day. This means the sun will never set, so people can be on the surface more. Although to get mob drops and ores, you'll have to go into the dark, dangerous caves. To make things worse, you won't be able to see if the ever-shrinking world border is approaching you while you're underground. Will you survive the game?
As last time, there is a tag on the VC server up for grabs. It is a crown in a colour of your choose, both in front of and behind your name. This tag will remain with the winner of the UHC until the next season, in which it is then passed on to the next champion. As it stands, the tag is owned by the UHC Season 1 Champion,
@Ajc610, and Season 2 Champions
@luisc99 and
@TheCatsMangler.
UHC is a game mode where you do not regenerate health unless you use a golden apple or potions, and is most commonly played as a PVP game in a confined map to find the last team alive.
Due to the requirements of this, it will be run on VCV in a temporary world, allowing there to be no pre-game interference from any players. The server will be whitelisted during this time to avoid interruptions, and the map will be reverted back to pre-UHC when the game is over. This will be for a maximum of 6 hours, depending on how long the game lasts.
As always, we love media input, although it is not necessary by any means. You could if you like use the new in-game streaming option to stream the entire event to twitch, or record the entire event and upload it to YouTube, either as one long video or separate videos. If you choose to pick one of these options, it will allow for interesting playbacks of battles, as well as your entire game for the rest of us to watch!
This season, we would be running the event in the
latest snapshot for 1.8, as this allows us to use various scoreboard features, the spectator gamemode, along with the new world border feature, to allow the event to run much smoother and overall run better. Details on how to get the latest snapshot are below. If you sign up, you need to realise you will have to get the snapshot. Do not sign up if you don't want this.
Because of the snapshots adding a spectator gamemode, it will allow people who died, or people who don't wish to take part, to spectate over the game without obstructing gameplay. This is optional, as some people may simply with to leave after they die. If you want to spectate and not take part, contact
@luisc99 or reply in here, and we'll make sure it can happen
Because the server will be whitelisted, there is a sign-up form. This event will be run on Sunday, 20th July, at 8pm GMT, as the last UHC gave us the impression that this is a good time for most people. With people in the US already on their summer break and us British guys starting our break now, it *should* be a nice treat for everyone who may not have been able to make it previously. To see what time this is where you are, you can use
Common Time Zones:> GMT = 8PM
> UK = 9PM
> Australia = 6AM
> Chicago = 3PM
> Mexico = 3PM
> Toronto = 4PM
Hope to see you in the event!
