News — March Update :calendar_spiral:

Hello everyone! A new month has come, and to mark the occasion, we've reserved our community a rather huge surprise. An update was recently finished after several months, featuring a completely rebuilt Pointshop system and various new gameplay aspects, along with a few changes that are further explained in the below post.

:shopping_cart: Pointshop Update

As introduced above, we entirely reworked the Pointshop system. It has come to our attention that most players were experiencing issues with the old system, therefore we decided not only to fix those issues, but to add a variety of features in order to increase its interactivity as well as its interest.
• Added StatTrak™ technology to all knife types (10% chance)
• Added nametag support to all StatTrak™ weapons
• Added a quality-based border around each item
• Modifed key prices and categories
• Added a much more detailed description for each item
• Added bodygroup support (model customization)
• Fixed a considerable amount of PS2-related bugs
Increased drop chances based on donator rank
• And much more to discover!

:tools: User Menu

The user menu is a completely new addition of ours, which will allow players to view their in-game profile and track certain stats, with advanced options for donators. Depending on how high your donator rank is, you will be able to—
• View basic information (name, Steam icon, etc.) :free:
• Change your scoreboard icon manually
• Set yourself a custom scoreboard color
• Set yourself a rainbow scoreboard color
• More features are coming soon! This menu can be opened by clicking on your name (scoreboard), then on User Menu.

:video_game: Gameplay Addition

A few gameplay aspects were added and changed through the process. With this update being, bystanders will now mainly be able to search certain corpses for clues. To attempt a search on a corpse as a bystander, hold your action key on any of them.

:gear: General Changes

Below are listed some minor changes or update that has been made.
• New gunshot sound for both AWP and Desert Eagle
• Added a Revolver R8 animation on right click
• Added a reload timer in the middle screen
• Added a smoke effect after a gunshot
• Minor bug fixes This is all of it for now.
A lot of work was put into this update, and we really hope it enhances everyone's gameplay experience. We are currently looking forward to completely replace the actual ranking system to something even more entertaining, and it should be coming soon!

December update!

:newspaper2: News — December Update

Hello fellow Murder players! We recently worked on different gameplay aspects to ultimately come up with an unique update — and hopefully making everyone's experience more enjoyable. This post will cover all of the new additions/changes that were implemented to Murderer's Arena over this month.

:frame_photo: New HUD

As all of you probably already noticed, the HUD was modified to offer a nicer, fresher look and to display an extra information : your points total. Opening the shop to look for your amount of points isn't needed anymore — you will know in a real-time basis how many points do you have!

:mag_right: Murderer's Special Activated Ability

This is a completely new ability available for murderers only. As you may know or already have experienced, being killed first isn't the best of situations and may be frustrating — waiting for a round to end over and over is quite boring, especially if the murderer is struggling finding the last player, therefore rounds taking up to 8 minutes before they finally end. This new ability should take care of that as its goal is to make rounds shorter than usual. From now on, murderers can hold "E" with at least five clues. Doing so will reveal everyone's position for 7 seconds in a radius determinated by the number of clues you activated the ability with. The higher your amount of clues, the higher the radius is!

:military_medal: New Perks for Donators

We, with this update being, made donator ranks a little bit more valuable — more worth buying. Donator-related changes are listed below. • Each donator rank will benefit of a jukebox price's reduction, going from a 25% reduction to a completely free-of-use jukebox. • Number of custom icons you are able to add to your icon selector list is higher based off your rank, for a maximum of three icons. • Number of custom bystander names you are able to add to the generation list is higher based off your rank, for a maximum of five names. • 200+ in-game names were added — and their respective icons are available to select through your icon selector. For more information regarding donator perks, visit our donation panel (https://www.qcgames.org/english/index.php?t=donate&bundle=1).

:crossed_swords: New Knife and Gun Skins

New update, new skins. We added both knife and gun skins to enhance diversity — and our skins selection! Everyone can unbox them as from now and find a list of said skins below.
*NEW* Knife Skins
+ M9 - Abyss
+ Karambit - Hyperbeast
+ Karambit - Indigo
+ Karambit - Amethyst
+ Karambit - Galaxy
+ Karambit - Blood
+ Bayonet - Aqua

*NEW* Gun Skins
+ AWP - Gentlemen
+ Desert Eagle - Golden Eagle

:no_entry: Database Corruption

Although this isn't revelant to the update itself, we had to bring this into public. Due to unfortunate issues, the database was partially damaged. Therefore, we lost a considerable amount of work, including the forums, player's donation packages and website parts — which is currently under maintenance. Fortunately for some of you, all bans and warnings have been wiped in the process. Please keep in mind that while this is the first time a wipe as such occurs, it won't be happening again. This doesn't mean you can start breaking the rules all over again — take it as an opportunity or you will be dealt with. Sorry for the inconvenience! We do our best to fix everything up as soon as possible.

:gear: General Updates

We rolled out some minor features & changes to finish off with, now available for everyone. • Jukebox's base price : 100 points ➠ 250 points. • Point gain has been slightly increased. • Icons have been reset, therefore every Silver donator or higher may select their custom icon once again. • From now on, when you load onto the server, you will be prompted to choose among two teams — players or spectators. Simply click on the team you'd like to join. • Three new commands have been added, which can now be used through your console. mu_showvelocity <1, 0> | enables or disables the display of your velocity. mu_showendround <1, 0> | toggles whether the scoreboard should show up or not when a round ends. mu_crosshair <1, 0> | if set to 1, changes your crosshair color to white. A special thanks to all our donators. This is only possible thanks to our players' contributions — they allow us to implement quality content and to pursue the QCGames project. Thank you for donating, and have a great time on our servers!  :-D
