SOUL URN

  • We are experimenting with an alternate set of Urn mechanics. Please give us your thoughts on this after you've played with it some.

Primary Rules:

  • To pickup the Urn, rather than standing in place to channel, you now light or heavy melee the Urn to pick it up.
  • The Urn is now always dropped off on top of the bridge on the middle of the map.
  • Once dropped off, the Urn will go into a "Depositing" phase for a set amount of time, depending on which team the urn favors (3s/5s/10s for Favored/Neutral/Unfavored).
  • While in the Depositing phase, the enemy team can Heavy Melee the urn to have their team claim it and cause it to switch sides. This adds +1.25s to that team's timer.
  • If the urn is Favored or Unfavored (in a comeback state), then the Favored team will get +50% Bullet and Spirit Resist in a 60m radius around the urn while it is being carried, dropped or deposited.

Other Details:

  • After 35s (aggregate time held per team), the carrier will start taking 5% Max HP damage per second (previously was 45s and 0.15% Max HP damage).
  • Urn damage is lethal
  • Like before, when the Urn is fumbled, it will wait 13s if there is a player within 25m. However afterwards, with this new version, it can no longer be picked up anymore and will very quickly run back to its spawn position.
  • No longer silences you while carrying. You are still disarmed and movement silenced.
  • No longer grants +30% Bullet and Spirit Resist while carrying it
  • Area around deposting the urn is revealed (urn runner is also revealed as usual)
  • The rules for Favored/Unfavored remain the same (+15% soul difference for the first urn at 10:00, +10% for all future urns)
  • Souls are all instant after the deposit is complete
  • All rewards are the same. The last person to contest the urn gets the +3 Golden Idol buffs, falling back to the original carrier if nobody contested it.
