The Brawl News - September 2019

Brawl Roadmap to 2020 and Beyond
Significant updates to WarZ, Party and Build. Gamemode sub-lobbies. More events. These are just some of the things announced in our newly released Roadmap - the first time we have released long-term plans in over 4 years. Click here see the full list of upcoming changes.

500+ Achievements Added
As if there wasn't already enough things to do on Brawl, we have added achievements for you to collect! There are over 500 achievements added for you to obtain, and we will add more as time goes on. Will you be the first person to unlock them all? Click here for more information.

New Cosmetic Tags
For the first time ever, we are releasing server-specific cosmetic tags! With these new gamemode-themed tags, you can have different tags for different gamemodes. As well as this, we have added 14 tags as rewards for completing all achievements for a specific CTF class - flexing on everyone else has never been easier! Click here for more information.

WarZ Comeback Week, Looking for Feedback and more
We have recently announced some significant changes to WarZ, which we will add very soon. More servers, major map changes and the very first Zone 7 will be added.

For more information, click here.

These aren't the only changes planned for WarZ. In the very first Looking for Feedback thread for WarZ, we are asking you for your feedback on Airdrops. They are very rare nowadays, and we're looking to re-introduce them into the game, but we want to make sure we do it right. Make sure your voice is heard - leave your feedback here.

Finally, we've heard your frustrations regarding grapple glitching - a major glitch which allows players to get a significant advantage in fights. We have now added a new warning category to deal with this and other major glitches, which heavier punishments than regular glitch abuse. Click here for more information.

CTF Spotlight Saturday, Looking for Feedback and more
We've very recently announced our next Spotlight Saturday event. Help upcoming map creators make their maps as best as they possibly can, by taking advantage of this exclusive chance to play some possible upcoming CTF maps. We have also announced the deadline for Halloween-themed maps to be submitted. Click here for more information.

Also, early September, we removed the usual flag pickup delay for a week to see how you guys liked it. This testing is now over, but if you participated in the testing and still haven't told us what you think, please leave your feedback here.



Featured Brawler
This month's Featured Brawler is a community member who was unhappy with the state of their favourite gamemode, and decided to do something about it. Within days, he made a community with over 100 members, starting a movement which single-handedly caused the revival of WarZ. He then applied for staff, and helped plan a large WarZ update along with the rest of the WarZ staff team. This month's Featured Brawler is @Ritzy.

Trivia Question
Last month's question was: how many bans does the Mod team (Achievester, Carnotauros, Charlie_0014, GetShadowRealmed, Ice_Bear1, Marthus, puhdgy, scapezar, SuperBen4, and wintergreen3) have combined?
The answer is 5,106. @Carsonn got the closest answer - incredibly, he was only 5 bans away! His answer was 5,111, and he has earned a forums trophy!

This month's question is: How many achievements were completed in the first 24 hours after their release?
The answer will be revealed along with the winner in the next edition of The Brawl News.
