Party system: group hunting, recruitment and shared goals

Party window and navigation


• A new Party button brings your group together: left-click to toggle the party window, middle-click to open Party Finder, and right-click to configure the window.

• See your teammates' names, south-facing portraits, current HP, and their active Pokemon with its HP. The window adjusts its height automatically, can be resized, and follows your selected skin.

• Choose which portraits, Pokemon details, HP numbers or percentages, directions and map markers to display. You can include your own character and choose whether the window opens automatically when joining a party.

• Track allies at any distance and across floors with direction, distance and floor indicators. Ctrl+click a member or party marker to center the map on them.

• Moving minimap markers show members in blue and the leader in bright yellow.

• The header shows active members out of the full party. Each member displays an activity status; hover for all reasons, including inactivity, incompatible level, distance, floor or another active character on the same account.


Party Finder and recruitment


• Party Finder opens with all published parties. Search words across both party names and activity descriptions, in any order, without worrying about capitalization or accents.

• Filter by level range or use My level to find advertisements that include your level. Search and publication ranges support levels up to 9999, and text fields include a clear button.

• Leaders can publish one advertisement per party with a name, activity description and level range. Calculate suggests a range compatible with the current members and warns when their levels cannot all share EXP.

• Titles and descriptions are reviewed before publication. When editing, your previous approved advertisement remains visible and can still receive requests until the new version is approved. A rejected or expired edit leaves the previous advertisement published.

• Advertisements remain available while the party exists unless the leader withdraws them.

• Request to join directly from a listing. The leader can accept or decline requests, which expire after two minutes. A counter on the Party button shows pending requests even when Party Finder is closed.


Progressive party bonuses


• Enable shared EXP to unlock bonuses based on the number of eligible active members, including the leader:

• 1 active member: no party bonus.

• 2 active members: +10% player EXP.

• 3 active members: +20% player EXP and +5% Pokemon EXP.

• 4 active members: +25% player EXP, +10% Pokemon EXP and +5% loot.

• 5 active members: +30% player EXP, +15% Pokemon EXP, +10% loot and +5% shiny chance.

• 6 or more active members: +35% player EXP, +20% Pokemon EXP, +15% loot, +10% shiny chance and +5% catch rate.

• Activity requires dealing damage to eligible wild Pokemon or effectively healing teammates during their recent wild combat. Walking or chatting alone does not count; activity expires after 60 seconds without a qualifying contribution.

• Members must stay within 30 squares and one floor of the recent combat area and meet the compatible-level requirement: at least two-thirds of the highest level among nearby combat-active members. Only one character per account counts as active.

• Inactive or distant members do not block bonuses for eligible teammates. Base bonuses apply immediately while eligible. All percentages increase the corresponding reward or chance; they are not percentage points added to an absolute chance.


Party Goals


• Work together toward cumulative goals to unlock extra bonuses on top of your active-member bonuses:

• Player EXP: earn 2 million, 6 million and 15 million EXP together to gain another +5% player EXP at each milestone, up to +15%. Requires at least 2 active members.

• Pokemon EXP: earn 5 million and 15 million Pokemon EXP together to gain another +10% Pokemon EXP at each milestone, up to +20%. Requires at least 3 active members.

• Wild Pokemon defeated: defeat 150 for +3% loot, then reach 500 for another +4%, up to +7%. Requires at least 4 active members.

• Different species defeated: defeat 10 species for +2% shiny chance, then reach 20 for another +3%, up to +5%. Requires at least 5 active members.

• Successful catches: make 10 catches for +2% catch rate, then reach 25 for another +3%, up to +5%. Requires at least 6 active members.

• With all goals completed and at least 6 eligible active members, total party bonuses reach +50% player EXP, +40% Pokemon EXP, +22% loot, +15% shiny chance and +10% catch rate.

• Milestone targets are cumulative: reaching 6 million player EXP means 6 million in total, not another 6 million after the first milestone. EXP granted by party bonuses does not count again toward goals.


Goal progress and Party Info.


• Open Goals from the party window to see shared progress, upcoming milestones, the bonus already unlocked and the bonus currently applied to you. Suspended bonuses explain the missing requirement.

• Goal extras require five minutes of your own active participation in the party, shared EXP enabled and enough active members for that reward. Base bonuses do not require this five-minute wait.

• If activity drops below a requirement, the corresponding bonus pauses without erasing the party's goal progress. Changing leaders preserves that progress. Disbanding the party or a server restart resets its goals; leaving and rejoining resets your personal participation time.

• The read-only Party Info. channel opens automatically when you join a party. It reports activity changes, completed goals, bonus changes and the reasons bonuses activate or become suspended.

• Party Info. stays open while you belong to the party and closes automatically when you leave, the party disbands or you log out.

Arena mini events and Deathclaw

Arena mini events

Seven team arena events, Blue team vs Red team, up to 10 minutes each: Snowball War, Paintball War, King of the Hill, Domination, Capture the Flag, Core War and Team Deathmatch. Snowball War and Paintball War are back, revamped; the other five are brand new.


• Same rules for everyone: level 50+ and no Pokémon. Everyone moves at the same speed and deals the same damage, so your level gives no advantage.

• Joining: go through the waiting room doors while the queue is open (5 minutes); the same door takes you out of the queue. Teams are balanced automatically.

• Deaths and leaving: dying sends you back to your base with a 5-second freeze. Stepping on an arena exit twice within 10 seconds (or logging out) removes you with no reward. If a team runs out of players, the other team wins.


How each event is won


• Snowball War: a deathmatch with snowballs; the team with the most kills in 10 minutes wins.

• Paintball War: the same, with paintball guns that also fire stun and split shots; 7 minutes.

• King of the Hill: every second, the team with more players on the hill scores.

• Domination: 3 control zones; every second, each zone scores for the team with more players in it.

• Capture the Flag: take the flag from the enemy base and bring it to yours while your own flag is home. 3 captures win; otherwise, most captures after 10 minutes.

• Core War: each team defends a crystal. Shots hit anywhere on its visible 2x2 area and count once; your own crystal is protected from friendly fire. Destroying the enemy crystal wins instantly.

• Team Deathmatch: every kill is a point for your team.

Arena mini events: reward and schedule

Reward: the Arena Token


• All seven events give the same reward: the Arena Token (purple; it can't be traded, dropped or sold on the market).

• 2 tokens to each player on the winning team, 1 to each player on the losing team (1 to everyone on a draw), and 3 more to the best players of the match (more spots in bigger matches).

• If your backpack is full, they go to your Stash.

• Snowball War and Paintball War no longer give Winter or Summer tokens.


Automatic schedule


• Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights: two events back to back (the second one opens when the first ends), starting between 19:00 and 03:00 Central European Time (CET/CEST).

• Each week's schedule is published on Sundays on the Events page of the website, and it's the same on Diamond and Platinum.

• In-game warning 30 minutes before.

• GMs can open extra events at any time.

• Website: new Arena Events section on the Events page, with the week's schedule, an image for each event and the times in your own time zone.

Arena Token exchange

Use an Arena Token (or type !arena_tokens) to open the exchange window. Prices in tokens:


• Kubfu: 420 (with a chance to be shiny)

• Drampanite: 310 (new mega stone: Drampa → Mega Drampa, level 110)

• Prey Pauser: 175

• Proficiency Capsule: 150

• Lucky Reborn Upgrade: 120

• Houndoom Bait Upgrade: 120

• Cleffa Bubble Tea Upgrade: 80

• Deathclaw Ticket: 50 (permanent access to the new daily boss Deathclaw)

• 5 empty sunrise balls: 20

• Supreme Proficiency Catalyst: 15

• 200 hundred dollars: 5


Everything from the exchange is tradeable and can be sold on the market.

New daily boss: Deathclaw

• Level 120+, solo. Permanent access with the Deathclaw Ticket (50 tokens at the Arena Token exchange). 20-hour cooldown and a 12-minute time limit. To enter, use the tombstone at (2882, 4687, 4).

• Three times during the fight, as its health drops, it calls an Elite Bisharp and is immune while the Bisharp is still standing.

• The 5 black tiles in the room light up one by one in a random order: lead the Elite Bisharp onto them in that same order. A tile out of order heals Deathclaw, and the remaining tiles are shown again.

• With the order complete, the Elite Bisharp can be defeated, and you can try to catch it.

• Rewards: 100–400 HD and 1–3 dread plates every time, plus chances at Book of the Darkness, empty Quantum Balls, Darkinium Z and TM case 22.

Daily Bounty and Lia

Daily Bounty

• New window, from the top menu button or with !bounty: up to 2 bounties per day per account (1 Challenging at most). Premium only.

• 4 difficulties based on your level: Easy (50–99), Medium (85–119), Hard (120+) and Challenging (250+).

• Each bounty gives you a specific bandit from a gang (Team Rocket, Magma, Aqua, Galactic, Plasma, Flare, Skull, Yell, Star and more): 55 bandits spread across the map, who move to a new spot every day at 00:00.

• Every spot has its own name (97 of them, like "Weepinbell Sanctuary"), and hovering over it shows its coordinates.

• On-screen tracker: when you claim a bounty, a box shows the bandit's face, the distance, the floor and an arrow pointing at them. Drag it wherever you want; click it to open the map at their spot. Their minimap mark disappears on its own once you finish, and up close you'll see a "!" over their head.

• Talk to the bandit, accept the challenge and fight a duel, 4 vs 4 (Easy) or 6 vs 6 (the rest): you stay still, your Pokémon doesn't go back to its ball until it faints, and no potions or revives.

• If you lose, you can try again the same day.

• The fight is private: nobody from outside (other players, their Pokémon or wild Pokémon) can damage, heal, buff or bother either side.

• Rising difficulty: bandits use TMs, hit harder on Hard and Challenging, keep their distance, protect themselves, heal, and on Challenging they choose their next Pokémon by type advantage.

• Rewards by difficulty: 300 / 750 / 1,500 / 2,900 HD, plus chances at items (TM cases, empty balls, Underboss Coin, Silver and Golden Syndicate Tokens and TM033 Reflect).

• Every completed bounty counts toward Lia (see below).

Lia, the rare loot buyer

• New NPC in Alola, at (3682, 1975, 7). Greet her with "alola".

• She buys at fixed prices: Dragonair's crystal orbs (15K), Mischievous Core (8K), Underboss Coin (3K), Silver Syndicate Token (10K), Golden Syndicate Token (20K) and Book of the Darkness (1K).

• The orbs drop from Tempest Wyrm, the core from Nightmourne, the coin and tokens from Daily Bounties, and the book from Deathclaw.

• Requirements: 80 daily bosses defeated and 25 Daily Bounties completed, counted from this update on. If you're missing something, Lia tells you how far along you are.

• Once you meet them, say "trade" to open her sale window. The money goes to your inventory or, if it doesn't fit, to your locker.

• Only Lia pays these prices: selling these items to another NPC or through automatic selling won't get you the same.

Hello everyone!

Many of you follow Padventures mostly from Discord and rarely visit the forum. To bring both together, we built a bridge between the forum and Discord: the forum's News section now lives on Discord too, and you can take part in it without leaving Discord.

What it does

• News threads on Discord: every News thread is a post in that channel, with the author's forum name and avatar. New replies, edits and deletions on the forum show up there on their own.

• Replies: write inside any post and, once your account is linked, your message is published on the forum under your forum account. Formatting, mentions and images come along, and editing or deleting your message on Discord does the same on the forum.

• Reactions: anyone can react. For linked members, ? ❤️ ? ? ? ? count as your Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad and Angry on the forum.

• Polls: forum polls show up as a pinned message with buttons, so you can vote right from Discord.

How to link your account

Type /link anywhere in our Discord server. There are two ways:

No forum account yet? Your game account must be linked with Discord on the website first: if it isn't, /link gives you a button to do it, then run /link again. Pick one of your characters and your forum account is created with that character's name and your game account's email (forum email notifications stay off).

Already have a forum account? Run /link, choose I already have a forum account, confirm your Discord account on the page that opens, then log in to the forum and authorize. You'll see "Linked!" and get a confirmation DM.

Once linked you get the Forum Linked role. /unlink removes the link at any time: your forum account and posts stay, and /link brings it back.

Good to know

• If you reply without a linked account, the bot removes the message and DMs you a copy of it along with the steps to link.

• Forum rules and permissions apply to everything posted from Discord (closed threads, bans, moderation). A message waiting for approval shows ⏳ until a moderator approves it.

• Threads are created on the forum only: a post created directly in the Discord channel is not sent to the forum.


See you there!

Z-Moves arrive with the next client update and server restart. Both are required before you can use the system.

Give your Pokémon an additional attack by equipping a compatible Z-Crystal. Z-Moves have their own equipment slot: they do not replace a regular move, consume a TM slot, or occupy a held-item slot. They can be used repeatedly when their cooldown is ready; they are not limited to once per battle.

Your existing crystals and launch availability
Keep the Z-Crystals you have already earned. Existing crystals obtained through quests and other rewards over the years will become unlinked, tradable and marketable with this release.

The eight existing types will be enabled together: Normal, Fighting, Electric, Fire, Water, Rock, Ghost and Grass. Their current reward sources remain relevant.

The system supports all 18 types, but acquisition methods for the other ten types will be announced separately. This announcement does not add new drops or quests for them. This release covers type-based Z-Moves, not Pokémon-specific signature Z-Moves.

Every crystal has an unlinked and a linked version. Newly obtained crystals, including future additions, start unlinked.

Which Pokémon can equip a crystal?
Your Pokémon must be level 110 or higher and meet at least one of these conditions for the crystal's type:



• The Pokémon has that type.

• It has a regular move of that type unlocked at its current level, even if that move is not selected in its active moveset.

• Its species can learn a TM of that type. You do not need to own or teach it that TM.


For example, a Pokémon that can learn a Water-type TM can qualify for Waterinium Z without having that TM equipped. A move unlocked only at a future level does not qualify it yet. No additional unlock quest or character class is required to use the system once you have a suitable crystal.

Each Pokémon can equip one crystal. Each character can have only one equipped crystal of each type, counting Pokémon in your inventory, main locker and Market Locker. You can own spare crystals and equip different types on different Pokémon.

Linking and equipping: two separate steps


• Use an unlinked crystal and confirm to link it to your character, following the same principle as Mega Stones.

• Release the Pokémon you want to equip.

• Use the linked crystal again and confirm to equip it.


Linking alone does not equip the crystal. Once linked, it is bound to that character: it cannot be traded, dropped or listed on the market, and removing it later does not make it unlinked again.

When equipped, the crystal leaves your inventory because it is stored on the Pokémon's ball. It has not disappeared or been consumed permanently. The ball's information shows its crystal and Z-Move.

Confirmations expire after 60 seconds. Cancelling does not perform the operation. To replace an equipped crystal, remove the current one first.

Using your Z-Move
The attack appears in the Moves window and is supported by action bars, hotkeys and WASD/Auto Cast. Action bars show the move's icon, not the crystal's icon.

Use zm for a Z-Move hotkey or action. The same command follows the equipped Z of your active Pokémon, so you do not need a separate binding for every type.

These are 15×15 area attacks with multiple damage pulses, centred on the Pokémon. The area follows its position between pulses. No selected target is required: casting into an empty area still uses the cooldown.

Damage follows the game's normal combat formula, type interactions and applicable modifiers. Some moves also apply conditions or control: Electric/Fire/Poison have damage over time, Ground and Ice have weather effects, and Water/Dark can pull eligible targets. Immunities and combat restrictions still apply. Repeated condition applications can extend damage over time. Shattered Psyche applies four direct pulses and briefly restricts the target's movement and outgoing damage; it does not make the target invulnerable.

Cooldowns and healing


• 50 seconds per character, per crystal type. Different types have independent cooldowns.

• Moving a crystal to another Pokémon does not give that type a fresh cooldown.

• Removing/re-equipping the crystal, switching Pokémon, recalling them, storing their balls or relogging does not reset it. Time continues to count while you are offline.

• Z-Moves share the 1.5-second casting exhaust with normal moves.

• Nurse Joy resets the Z cooldowns for the types equipped on the Pokémon she heals. A type left on a Pokémon in the locker is not reset by healing the rest of your team.

• Revives, ordinary healing and duel resets do not reset Z cooldowns.


For example, Darkinium Z's cooldown follows your character if you move it from Charizard to Raichu. A different type, such as Electrium Z, has its own cooldown.

Removing a crystal and transferring Pokémon
Select the Pokémon and choose Remove Z-Crystal from its active ball's context menu or from the released Pokémon's menu, then confirm.

You receive the same linked crystal back. It remains bound to your character and can be equipped on another eligible Pokémon, subject to the same type limit and remaining cooldown.

If your inventory cannot receive it, it goes to your locker. If neither destination can receive it, it stays equipped.

A Pokémon with a Z-Crystal equipped cannot leave your character. This includes trading, dropping, selling or listing its ball, transferring it inside a container, and handing it over to systems that transfer or consume the Pokémon, such as daycare, auctions, certain quests or fusions. Remove the crystal first. Keeping the ball in your own locker is allowed.

A container holding such a ball is also blocked from transfer; putting the ball inside a bag does not bypass the restriction.

Battle restrictions and special forms


• Z-Moves can be used in PvE, PvP, duels and tournaments, subject to the usual combat and aggression rules.

• Both your character and the released Pokémon must be outside Protection Zones.

• You cannot equip or remove crystals while duelling or in a state that locks these actions. Equipping also requires the Pokémon to be released and not transformed.

• Mega and G-Max forms keep their own equipped crystal.

• Ditto uses its own crystal while transformed. It does not copy the target's crystal or cooldown.

• Z-Moves are unavailable during copied moveset states such as Mimic/False Swipe/Prankster, and for Kecleon.

• Additional summons do not copy Z-Moves. Z casts do not trigger the extra post-cast effects of Soda Pop or Charm Mimic.

• Level 110 is required to cast as well as equip. Test Pokémon cannot equip or use crystals.


What happens after a rebalance?
If a future rebalance removes all of a Pokémon's eligibility for a crystal it already has equipped, it keeps that Z-Move as legacy equipment.

It remains usable while equipped, with the usual level, cooldown and battle restrictions. Recalling the Pokémon, relogging or storing its ball does not remove this status.

Removing the crystal ends that exception. You will be warned before removing a legacy crystal. Afterwards, it can only be equipped again if the Pokémon meets the current eligibility rules. Cancelling the removal keeps the equipment and its legacy status.

Crystal and move reference
The table includes all 18 supported types. Only the eight existing crystal types listed above have their current acquisition sources available for this release. Sources for the other ten will follow in separate announcements.

The damage column shows number of direct pulses × base damage per pulse, before the normal damage formula, resistances and other modifiers. It excludes damage over time and is not a promise of fixed HP damage.

Type	Crystal	Z-Move	Direct pulses × base
Normal	Normalium Z	Breakneck Blitz	2 × 2,750
Fighting	Fightinium Z	All-Out Pummeling	3 × 1,160
Electric	Electrium Z	Gigavolt Havoc	3 × 1,160
Fire	Firium Z	Inferno Overdrive	4 × 875
Water	Waterinium Z	Hydro Vortex	3 × 1,160
Rock	Rockium Z	Continental Crush	4 × 875
Ghost	Ghostium Z	Never-Ending Nightmare	3 × 1,160
Grass	Grassium Z	Bloom-Doom	2 × 1,750
Flying	Flyinium Z	Supersonic Skystrike	3 × 1,160
Poison	Poisonium Z	Acid-Downpour	3 × 1,160
Ground	Groundium Z	Tectonic Rage	3 × 1,160
Bug	Buginium Z	Savage Spin-Out	3 × 1,160
Steel	Steelium Z	Corkscrew Crash	3 × 1,160
Psychic	Psychium Z	Shattered Psyche	4 × 875
Ice	Icium Z	Subzero Slammer	4 × 875
Dragon	Dragonium Z	Devastating Drake	3 × 1,160
Dark	Darkinium Z	Black Hole Eclipse	3 × 1,160
Fairy	Fairium Z	Twinkle Tackle	2 × 1,750

Recently we ran a poll about opening a new game world. "No" won, and we accepted the result. Since then, some players opened a new thread on the forum to keep the discussion going, and we keep getting requests for a new server through private messages and public chats. Don't worry: a new game world is not happening.

Here is a harsh truth you probably don't want to hear, and I don't mean to sound rude: we could probably change a few things in the game, trim it down, and start a brand-new community under a new name, and that would be easier than trying to open a new server here. But we are not giving up on this community yet, for all of you who stayed with us and supported us all these years.

I understand both points of view: new or returning players who would like to start a fresh journey on a new server, and long-time players who have built up a lot of progress and rare assets on their characters. Both are valid.

So I came up with an idea. Those of you who have played Path of Exile will recognize it: a middle ground between starting a new journey and keeping what you have collected.

Seasons: how it would work

A Season is a separate, temporary game world that runs for about three months. Everyone starts from zero: only new characters can be created there, nothing can be transferred in, and the economy is brand new. When the Season ends, you choose where your character goes, Diamond or Platinum, with everything it owns.



• You play with your current account. Premium days and shop points are shared, and you can create as many seasonal characters as you want, but only one character per account can be online at a time, as usual.

• There is a pause of one to two months between Seasons. If this moves forward, the commitment would be at least two Seasons per year starting in 2027, hopefully three.

• Every Season has a unique name and its own core mechanic, available only while that Season runs.

• The full live shop is available in the seasonal world. There will be no shop items exclusive to Seasons, and the occasional items that show up on live (dungeon keys, for example) will be available in the Season too whenever they are active on live.


Gameplay changes that apply to every Season

These are part of the Seasons format itself. They apply to every Season, and nothing changes on the live servers.



• Surf, Fly and Teleport are unlocked through the story and your progress instead of premium. Premium keeps its other benefits, such as the depot and the systems that require it.

• Rates are the base Diamond rates. Rate events (weekends, Discord and the rest) apply to the Season as well.

• Everything else works exactly as on live: raids, daily bosses, tasks, albums, events, PvP, monthly Top Players. Each Season will publish its own list of differences.


The core mechanic and what happens to it

Each Season is built around one core mechanic that exists only there. Once the Season ends, the community votes in a poll whether that mechanic should come to the live servers permanently. Only the core mechanic goes to a poll: the gameplay changes of the format above stay seasonal.

First Season concept: Radiant Pokémon



• A Radiant is a new kind of Pokémon, not a shiny. It has an exclusive color, handled by a new system, and one extra bonus drawn from a set (extra attack, extra defense, lower cooldowns, and so on). The bonus is permanent and shown in the Pokémon's description.

• Any Pokémon can be Radiant, Magikarp included, and from any source: wild spawns, fishing, Pokémon boxes, promotions, events, quests. Radiant also stacks with what already exists: a shiny Radiant or a cloned Radiant is possible.

• Radiants only appear during the Season. Once they migrate to live, no system can produce a new one: cloning, eggs, or anything else.

• Every Radiant obtained in a Season carries a permanent "Season Radiant" marker. If the community ever votes Radiants into the live servers, those will be regular Radiants. Season Radiants stay unique.


Battle Passes and challenges



• Two paid Battle Passes over the course of the Season (pricing to be defined), plus one or two free ones. Some of their rewards are exclusive to that Season and will never be available again, although not the whole pass is exclusive.

• Every exclusive reward is delivered as an unbound voucher that gives you the item when used, so you can trade it or hand it to another character. Once used, the item follows the normal rules of its kind.

• Season challenges (defeat every gym, for example) are tracked per account and reward cosmetics and unique items, delivered the same way.

• The live Battle Passes also run in the seasonal world. Seasonal passes never come to live.


Isolation

Nothing leaves the seasonal world before the Season ends. The seasonal world is excluded from auctions and from any cross-world trading.

When the Season ends



• The seasonal world closes on its end date.

• On the website, you choose where each of your seasonal characters goes: Diamond or Platinum. There is no deadline: the character waits until you decide.

• The move is one-way and final. No changing servers afterwards.

• Everything the character owns travels with it: inventory, depot, stash, Pokémon, money and progress.

• What stays behind: houses (their contents go to your depot), guilds, and market offers (cancelled, items returned).


I am aware of the impact a system like this would have on the live servers (Diamond and Platinum). But let's be honest: the economy there already carries years of accumulated wealth, and a wave of three-month-old characters is not what tips it. This is also exactly how PoE handles it: every league eventually merges into the permanent servers.

This is just a concept. Nothing here is confirmed for the near future, and that is exactly why this is a discussion thread and not an announcement.

This does not stop or delay anything planned for the live servers. Professions are still coming to the live servers, and they would come to the seasonal servers as well.

Tell me what you think.

The September donation promotion has begun, running from 15/September/2026 to 30/September/2026.
During this promotion you'll get:

* +50% points on every donation.
* 1x September Lottery Ticket (2026) for every 30 base points.
* 1x Mystery Box (September 2026) for every 30 base points.



The September donation promotion has ended.

The servers will remain closed until we resolve some issues.

During the last restart, unfinished content was accidentally pushed to the game servers, which caused unexpected problems. We are working on fixing this and will reopen the servers as soon as everything is resolved.

As compensation, extra rates will be active for the next few days once the servers reopen.

We'll keep you posted here and on Discord. Thank you for your patience!

Client Update — v12.0.2.8
Launcher v1.0.1.0

The latest client update is now available — open the launcher to update. Here's what's new:

Action Bars


• Build your own action bars: make as many as you want, horizontal or vertical, resize them and choose how many slots each has, then drag them anywhere and lock them in place. Every bar is saved per character.

• Drop your moves onto a slot and cast them with a click. Each slot shows the move's cooldown and a type-colored icon, and shares the same hotkeys you already use.

• Drop items straight from your bag onto a slot: click to use them, and the count updates live as you use or pick them up — it even counts items sitting inside closed bags.

• Need another bar? A new button next to the chat controls creates one whenever you want.




WASD Movement Mode


• A new optional way to play: move with W, A, S and D while the chat stays out of your way. Turn it on in Options > Game, or with the small toggle above the chat — it's off by default, so nothing changes unless you want it to.

• Fight without the mouse: one key attacks the nearest target, and another pair cycles through enemies in your battle-list order.

• Move diagonally by holding two direction keys together, or with Q, E, Z and C for the four corners.

• Auto cast: a single key rotates through the moves you choose, automatically skipping any your Pokemon can't use right now or that are still on cooldown.

• Press Enter to chat and you're back to walking the instant you send or hit Escape. Every key can be remapped from the "Configure controls..." button, and your setup is saved.


Moves Window Transparency


• You can now make the Moves window see-through: open its settings with the small gear icon and drag the new Opacity slider to fade the window's frame as much as you like.

• Only the frame fades — your moves and their text stay perfectly sharp — so the window blends into your screen while everything you need stays easy to read.

• Your setting is saved and comes back automatically every time you log in.


Repair Fix


• Fixed the client's Repair failing for some players whose game folder sat in a path with special characters — for example an accented Windows username. Repair now works no matter what characters are in your folder path.


These are big changes, and a few issues may have slipped through unnoticed. If you run into any problem — or just have feedback — please let us know.

Stream Recordings & Clips

Every stream you broadcast in-game is now recorded, and every player can clip their last minute of play at any time — camera on or off. Recordings and clips live in one place, can be replayed inside the client, downloaded, and shared with the community on a new page of the website.

Recording your streams

• Turn the camera on (broadcast mode) and the server records your stream automatically. Nothing to install, nothing to configure, and zero cost for your client: the recording happens entirely on the server.

• A recording captures exactly what a spectator of your stream sees: the map around you, creatures, effects, names and health bars, chat bubbles. Your UI, inventory and private messages are never part of it.

• Automatic recordings are kept for 30 days. Streams shorter than 60 seconds are discarded, and a very long stream is split into files of up to 4 hours.

Clips

• The server keeps the last 60 seconds of every online player in memory. Press the new Clip button (next to the Discord and Twitch buttons) or use the Easy clip hotkey from the Hotkeys window, and that minute becomes a recording of its own, marked with a CLIP tag.

• Clips work with the camera off, so you never miss a play you didn't plan to stream. Nothing is written to disk until you press the button, and there is a 30-second cooldown between clips.

• A clip is a recording like any other: same 30-day retention, same save, share, download and replay options.

My Recordings

Right-click the camera button to open the My Recordings window.





• Server tab: everything the server holds for you, newest first, with duration, size, tags (REC, CLIP, SAVED, SHARED, VIDEO) and when an automatic recording expires.

• Save up to 20 recordings permanently, with a name of your choice. Rename or Unsave them at any time; unsaved recordings go back to the 30-day rule.

• Share a saved recording to publish it on the website; Unshare hides it again. Web opens its page in your browser.

• Download copies the recording file to your computer. The Local tab lists your downloaded files, and Play opens them in the built-in player: pause, 0.5x to 4x speed, fast-forward and restart. A downloaded clip starts right at the beginning of the clipped minute.

• Delete removes a recording (or a downloaded file) for good.

The community page

Shared recordings appear at https://www.padventures.org/index.php/p/v/recordings: thumbnail, title, votes, downloads and a video player. The video is generated by the server shortly after you share (the page shows "processing" until it is ready), and anyone can also download the original recording file to watch it in their client.

The title of a shared recording goes through an automatic review before it is listed. If it is rejected, the recording is unshared and the reason is shown in your recordings window — rename it and share again.

Limitations and notes

• The in-client replay shows everything exactly as the game does. The website video is a re-rendering of the recording and skips a few client-side effects: night and cave darkness (videos are rendered at full brightness on purpose), outfit glow and outline effects, auras and wings, medals and target markers.

• Recording files can only be played in the Padventures client.

• A shared recording is public: anyone can watch and download it. Unshare it at any time to take it off the page.

• Requires the latest client — the launcher updates it automatically.
