[h2]⚙️ OPTIMIZATION [/h2]

This patch is to improve disconnects, but also load-in times. A lot of art needed to be optimized and we took this one step further. It will also reduce the space required for Oh Baby Kart. This is a needed step in preparing for how OBK Mobile will work.
- Stage optimisations (including big stages that had issue load-ins, such as Hedges and Volcano)
- Icon loading optimizations

[h2]⏱️ TIME TRIAL BADGES[/h2]

Time trial badges have been updated (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Red). There will be a new time trial event soon(ish). There is no reset though to be clear, so keep working on those times!

[h2]🛡️ GUILD INFO[/h2]

1. A special variation of the Champion Kart in HOH colors have been given to the winners of the guild wars last year (who raced).

2. Guild Banners are integrated, we will need to give you a form to decide who to allocate these banners to, as once allocated, they will not be removed. More info in the next few weeks here.

We still need time to prep guilds going forward. Again, we advise to not do anything drastic until a full video explains guilds going forward for OBK and future games.

[h2]🏎️ LEAGUE SEASON 1 SOLOS TOURNAMENT 3 SIGN UPS AND SPONSORSHIP FORM ARE NOW OPEN![/h2]

(Check our discord for more information)

For more detailed information on tournament rules, sponsorship information, and prizes, please read this information sheet: HERE

[h3] Defender mode is here! [/h3] Try to get the highest score possible with a group of fellow racers. Protect the base from chickens with knives, bulls and even turtles with canons.
[h3] Team up to compete on the Group Leaderboard [/h3] To kick start this mode we are giving 500 BP to each person in the top 100 teams on the Chicken Defender Leaderboard (you can set a score with multiple teams, max 3000 BP per person). Leaderboard will reset on December 21st.


With Defender Mode coming in, we have temporarily rotated Duo Grand Prix mode out. We would like to work with our community to try and create more rotating game modes.


As the new players arrive, we have re-introduced Grand Prix and Grand Prix PRO (instead of PRO replacing the casual Grand Prix). Grand Prix PRO is once again unlocked at level 30.


We heard you out. Some cups are too difficult for players and have a very steep learning curve. RR cups 1-14 have had difficulty tweaks but we have kept cups 15 onwards as is, as we feel the rewards are equal to the effort required to beat these cups.


The weekly progression rewards have been adjusted. We have added a special Scrap Box instead of certain BP increments.


New Battle Pass is here! You can no longer purchase the Dino Pass, with that we introduce the new Pirate Pass - full of new goodies, a unique skin and Pirate loot boxes! As always, you KEEP THE BATTLE PASSES you have previously purchased.

[h3] GAMEPLAY CHANGES [/h3]

• Dazes carrying through hoops stopped momentum and sometimes prevented players from engaging the hoop, thus falling down. This has been patched
  
• Visual map fixes
  
• Descriptions and localisations
  
• Some recipes that weren't working, are now working
