Map Rooms Flushed

Since we changed the levels in the last update (so people are more spread out) a lot of you have had problems with the number of people in the map room that are now too low to attack.

Well now we have refreshed your map rooms to remove these players and give you a a bunch of fresh ones that should be a similar level to you.

It will now auto replace people who get too low for you to attack to prevent this happening again.

BYM UPDATE 2011-09-02

Team BYM has added new abilities to the Monster Lab!
  • Fink uses all of his claw to slaughter multiple buildings and monsters surrounding him.
  • Fang injects venom into the veins of his enemies, which continues to cause damage well after the bite.
  • Eye-ra launches himself up to attack air units, causing splash damage to both air and ground targets.

While we were at it, we also squashed a few bugs:
  • Hack: Instantly Repair Buildings *
  • Hack: God mode - infinite damage *
  • Champion freezing during attacks
  • Aerial defense towers, not shooting, and/or 0 damage
  • Alliance Ranks aren't being displayed correctly in the alliance lists
A number of Alliance bugs were also fixed this week, but will be released early next week!


Have a great weekend,
Team BYM

* We also track attempts on these hacks now, so those even trying to use them will get auto-suspended.

BYM UPDATE 2011-09-23

  • Added 16 BYM Facebook Achievements
  • Fortifications for Outposts (can fortify outpost building itself, plus towers)
  • Added Ultra Starter Kit for Outposts, with fortifications, air defense towers, and black diamond walls
A couple of bug and hack fixes including:
  • Mushroom hacking.
  • Users attacked by hackers dropping to negative resources.
All people who used the above hacks have been or will be banned in the next couple of days.

Next week we're going to focus mainly on hack and bug fixing and bringing hackers to justice, the ban hammer is going to get bloody 

BYM UPDATE 2011-09-29

1. Chat is now below the game so it takes up less space, it can still be expanded if you wish.
2. Recommended quests are listed next to chat making it quick and easy to see what you should be doing next.
3. If you have multiple outposts you can now cycle through them (icon next to your outpost count)
4. Some changes to address the issue of "Jumpers":
Today's update introduces some restrictions on how frequently players can relocate their main yard. We've been listening to player feedback about jumping and the balance between jumpers and empire builders, and while we feel that both strategies are legitimate ways to play the game, we want to ensure that there is a balance between the play styles. We feel that this limitation will address the balance, but as always, your feedback is welcome.
5. Bug and hack fixes, more hackers banned.

BYM UPDATE 2011-10-04

Two changes you guys wanted and we've delivered today:
  1. We've heard your feedback about the new chat and quest windows, you can now minimize these windows!
  2. Also as requested, you can now help your friends with their building fortifications.
Plus, bug fixes!
  1. Using the “Next Outpost” button will no longer take you out of fullscreen mode.
  2. Thanking friends for a gift is now working as expected.
  3. Additional security features to prevent hacks and exploits

BYM UPDATE 2011-10-06

Today's update introduces a new building: The Champion Chamber!The Champion Chamber lets you cryogenically freeze a champion, so that you can feed and raise a new champion without losing your old one. Now you can have all three champions and select which one you take into battle or leave to defend your yard.

We also fixed several bugs and improved our anti-hack measures to better automate the detection and banning of hackers.

BYM UPDATE 2011-10-19

Team BYM cranked out this weeks update a whole day early! Today's update includes:
  • Outpost Tower Defense - we've added a sixth level for the Tesla, Laser, Aerial, and Railgun Towers as well as a fourth level for the Monster Bunker to all Outposts
  • Visible Loot - when attacking Town Halls, Harvesters, and Silos, you can now see loot popping out of the building; this makes it more clear which buildings provide loot
And of course a few bug fixes:
  • Monsters are no longer lost if you decide to not fling monsters in to an attack
  • The Hatchery Control Center queue will finish updating first if a you quickly click "Finish Now" after adding monsters to the queue.
And we continue to hunt down and ban anyone even trying to hack the game. Death to hackers!


Enjoy!
-Team BYM

THE BIG UPDATE

From 2011-10-19 to 2012-1-20, there have been no updates. The developers at KIXEYE were working on something big. We now know that this update was the Inferno, which is basically starting off from scratch once again. There are 4 new towers and 4 new resources. Instead of silos, there are Resource Pods and instead of the Town Hall there is the Under Hall. For more information, please go to http://backyard-monsters.wikia.com/wiki/Backyard_Monsters_Wiki

BYM UPDATE 2012-01-20

The Magma Tower
You may have noticed that your Inferno worker doesn't like you very much, but that's not all. He's also been keeping secrets. We've learned he knows how to build a Magma Tower. it just took a little... encouragement. Time to blast your enemies with magma!

 

Outpost Takeover Costs Reduced
The takeover cost for outposts caps out at 10 million resources each now. YFW you realized this:

Team BYM has really shaken things up today! You are now able to build those devastating Quake Towers you saw while working your way down to Moloch. Both in your Inferno base AND in your main base!

Stay tuned as we'll soon see more hellish creations coming up for air!
We've also stomped out a ton of bugs:

  • You now begin earning FB Achievements once again!
  • Magma Tower now only takes 6 days to upgrade from level 4 to 5
  • Many more (but too small to mention)
