May 6, 2014 Update Changelog (5/6/14)

Update Changelog (5/6/14)
I've decided to nick name this update the "oh god why" update, why? Because spiders. This is the Update Changelog for 5/6/14, we're (only somewhat) sure you're going to love it.

Arena
- Changes
  - Healing Totems now remove all debuffs when healing.
  - Explosive skills no longer set off mines.
  - Freezing Breath now does 200 damage instead of 220.
- Additions
  - Brand new "Broodmother" ultimate skill!
    - Requires you to be level 10 to unlock.
      - Earn levels by completing quests, coming very soon!
    - Summons a large spider that will chase down and poison the targeted enemy player, dealing 200 damage over 6 seconds. When slain, the Broodmother spawns 4 spiderlings that deal 5 damage each per attack.
    - This is why you don't let Cryptkeeper make skills.
- Fixes
  - Fixed Proximity Mines not properly disappearing after 2 seconds.
  - Fixed Tree of Life team colors sometimes not disappearing.
Walls
- Changes
  - Brand new shop GUI, check it out!

Also, here's a sneak preview of the new all-in-one shop headed to Quake!
We've got so much more content headed your way, stay tuned!

(And there may or may not be new maps on their way to Paintball. Maybe.)

Apr 25, 2014 Having Connection Issues?

We're investigating the cause of various connection issues that are being reported to us, but here's some things you can do to help:

Try rebooting your computer first. Often times, players' issues connecting to the server are caused by something on their own home network, such as their own computer.
Try rebooting your router. Your router/modem connects your house to the internet, and if it's having issues, it can intermittently block certain traffic.
Try running Minecraft from a different internet connection. Sometimes internet providers block certain video game connections because they don't like the extra strain on their network, so try from a friend's house if possible

If none of these help, please email us at [email protected]. Include your in-game name, your IP address (the big blue text on http://whatismyipaddress.com/ ), the operating system you are running, the Minecraft version you are running, include "Connection Issues" in the subject, and:

If you're on a PC, open 'Command Prompt' and type 'tracert mc.hypixel.net'. Copy-paste or screenshot the output of that, and include it in the email.
If you're on Linux or a Mac, open 'Terminal' and type 'traceroute mc.hypixel.net'. Copy-paste the output of that, and include it in the email.

The traceroute should help me to determine if it's caused by something larger, like an internet provider being down, or if it's something on our end. I'll investigate each one of them and try to fix them, but, depending on how many I get, I may not be able to reply to all of them. Keep trying to connect for the next few hours/days after that, as the issue may resolve itself. If it spontaneously starts working again, please reply to the email you sent and say that it spontaneously started working again.
