2024-02-23 stake4life event, changes, past, future

Hey fighters,

stake4life event:
The first two builds are finished and here are the winners of the boosters.
I will wait for the other builds to finish before delivering them.

22 W 15TH ST, Manhattan, NY:
both boosters go to pocketfuzz, he was the only one staking after the announcement of the event

640 N UNION ST, Stockton, CA:
both boosters go to kindr520, he was the only one staking after the announcement of the event


The following two builds have still some spots left:
47 ARBOOK ST, Lusail, QA
342 HOME AVE, Trenton, NJ

Take you chance to get your boosters!

changes, past, future
The last weeks were tough! Taken down by another heavy cold, struggeling with some bugs (which were not detected by anybody and so they were not abused) and working on the backend for the boosters implmentation. This takes much more time than planned, but makes some progress. You will see some changes in the UI in the next days, following the implementation of the boosters.

personal statistics
take a look here to see some small numbers about your past in bebattle.

future game-modes
not the highest priority for now, but i am going to add different game-modes to bebattle.
you will be able to select, for example, "fist-fights" as a gametype, which will send you "naked" to a fight, without any active boosters (except the regeneration ones).
or maybe a hardcore variant, in which you will not only win the upx, but some experience points from your opponent too.
or maybe a level-1-training type, where you block-explorer will fight as they were still on level 1.
these are some ideas, and the details may change a bit, but this will add some variation to your fighting expierence.

fight details
you will soon get a reworked fight details page.
you will be able to click your way throught the rounds until the final result (no more scrolling down).
there will be a "short track" directly to the results too, if you do not want to spend time clicking through many rounds.

Best Regards
Beulemann

2024-02-14 Adjustment to Stake 4 for life event

Hey stakers,

The following addresses have buildings for future devshops under construction:

22 W 15TH ST, Manhattan, NY (both boosters to pocketfuzz, he was the only one staking after the announcement of the event)
47 ARBOOK ST, Lusail, QA
640 N UNION ST, Stockton, CA
342 HOME AVE, Trenton, NJ

I increased the amount of boosters i will give away!
I will raffle 2 of this shiny new boosters (7 day instant regeneration for one of your block-explorer) under all stakers on a build.
If a build gets finished, the booster will be raffled shortly after.
Your chances are higher, if you stake more spark (and so gain more spark hours).

Best Regards
Beulemann

2024-01-30 Stake 4 for life event

I would like to complete the my "one devshop per city" mission.
Currently there are two cities left: Manhattan and Lusail.

This is your chance to get your hands on a valuable booster:

Instant Life and Energy for 7 days

Yes, you read it right. This booster will give you 100 life and energy right after each battle for one BE.
No need to wait for cycles to get the filled up.
Once activated (I will offer you different starting times) you can start a new battle right after one is finished without thinking about your life and energy points for a single BE.

I will raffle 5 of this booster after the following builds have finished:

47 ARBOOK ST, Lusail
22 W 15TH ST, Manhattan

To enter the raffle you need to put your spark to the build.
I will then gather all contributed spark hours and spin a wheel 5 times.
Your chances are higher if you put more spark to work.

If you won, i will contact you to set the details.
You can apply this booster to ONE block-explorer, not for your whole account.
You can select from different starting times and your BE for the booster.
If you won more than one booster, you are able to choose different BEs to get the booster on.
I will not add them up and increase the time for it!

Let's get ready to stake 4 your life. ;-)

2024-01-24

This newsletter will get you some updates on the running developments!

Upland Racing League
I will take part in the stock car season of the URL.
I will be racing for the "Cast Elite Racing Team" sponsored by: bebattle.net & myupland.info.
This will get a bit advertising for bebattle. ;-)

backend-work
The development of the totem tools on myupland.info needed some of my time in the last day.
This affected the development of bebattle. I am currently in the process of rewriting some parts of the source code, becaus the implementation of boosters didn't get as smooth as i thought. I ran across some technical-design issues which will be needed to be redesigned before a full launch of the boosters update will be possible.
The next noticeable step will be the implmentation of boosters in the fights:
You will notice the possibility to check in/out personal or global boosters in the join and create part of a fight.
After launch i will be giving some global boosters to all players for a limited period.

fight night
As already communicated in the howard beach news: We will host a "fight night" event.
We are currently working out the details, such as conditions and prices.

dev-shop sends
i got a message, that not all sends are detected:
this is, because the upland API only deliveres me the last 10 visits for a property.
so if there are more than 10 sends to a property between the query intervals, some will not be discovered.
they are NOT lost. i will connect bebattle to the blockchain data i save with myupland.info.
these will list me all sends without needing to query the upland api for it.
this will take some time to develop, but you will get your reward!

More details will follow as soon, as they are available.

Got some spare spark? 22 W 15TH ST, Manhattan could need some love. ;-)

2024-01-15

• removed opponent BE details from the "join a fight list". now the level is displayed.
• removed opponent BE details from the "join a fight details page". now the level is displayed.
• first preparations on backend for boost items (equipment)

2024-01-11

• your UPX balance is now requested from upland and checked before trying to create or join a battle
• You can now take a look to your personal reward points here: https://bebattle.net/pages/personalRewards.php
• Changelog now as a page here: https://bebattle.net/pages/changelog.php

brainstorming some ideas for future spending of reward points:
(all ideas, not yet decided if, what or when it will be implemented)

• booster for regeneration for a period of time for a single be or your whole account
• booster for strength or vitality for a period of time for a single be
• buying equipment for your be (e.g. sword or shield or ...)
• ...

2024-01-10

• A block-explorer level-up will now be triggered from every page you are in. (No need to switch to the dashboard)

Hints:

1. If you are doing your sends for spark-tycoon resources you should think about using our devshop addresses: https://bebattle.net/pages/devshops.php
   This will generate reward points in bebattle, which will get a nice use-case in the game.
   Every send from now on will count. (Even if not visible on the page, the data is collected to the database.)
   More details to come (soon).
2. The UPX you spend in fights will get you reward points too. ;-)

2024-01-09

I changed the maximum tournament duration from 72 hours to 24 hours.
If you got a fight, where someone joined and did not confirm (or no one joined), these should be automatically closed after 24 hours and you get your UPX back.
These should be set for all new containers after this message.
The older one's are still at the 72 hours timeframe.
