Are the meetup kit randomizations different for every player, or is the same random kit given to everyone?

If it's option #1 then some people might not like it depending on the gear in the potential list, due to things being less fair

Each player gets a different randomization, but it's balanced enough that no player should have a huge advantage. Rerolls also help mitigate this for donors.

The advantage of different rolls is that as the meetup progresses, you accumulate more/better gear. You might start with half diamond proj prot, a power three flame one bow, and a sharp two diamond sword, and end with full diamond prot 2/3, a sharp three diamond, a fire aspect, and a power four flame bow (if you combined with a power three). It's meant to simulate an actual 100x100 in a UHC, and mechanics like combining are included (you get exp and anvils off kills).

Digging down isn't possible - certain blocks are unbreakable.

  • A new season has started in Survival Games which means both ratings and stats have been reset!


    • But I still see all the old stats? Is it going live later?

    Hello Badlion players. Tonight we are in the process of committing a huge update to Badlion Open minigame servers. Lets just get right into the change logs.

    UHC Meetup 2.0
  • A new season has started in UHC Meetup which means stats have been reset!
  • Wool server selectors have returned in place of the queue.
  • Players now start with a randomized kit. From basic math, there are an estimated 71 million types of kit loadouts, so you should hardly ever see the exact same combination.
  • Ratings have now been introduced into UHC meetup.
  • When a game turns to countdown mode, a message is sent to all arena lobbies and bungee lobbies that can be clicked on to join by other players.
  • Stats/ratings can now be hidden in pregame and postgame(spectator) menus for UHC Meetup.
  • Gamemodes have been added to UHC Meetup. During countdown you will automatically be asked to vote for a gamemode, or you can use /vote to open the menu also. If a gamemode receives enough votes, it will become live. Max amount of gamemodes allowed to be active is two.
  • Rerolls have been added. D/D+ receive 1 free daily, while Lions and higher receive 2 free daily. What this does is allows a full re-randomization of what you spawned with. Can only be used during countdown. WARNING: you might receive something you feel is worse by doing this. You can also win rerolls by winning a game, but they must be used before the daily reset.
  • Force start has been added for smaller regions and low peak times. This allows games to be started with 6-11 players instead of the recommended 12+. You can vote to force start by right clicking the force start paper in your hotbar. This requires most of the server to vote for it to go active.
  • Borders now shrink at 8 players left or 10 minutes for 50x50, and 4 players left or 15 minutes for 25x25.
  • At 25 minutes, players will start receiving random damage if the game is still live.
  • 1.8 borders now show for people using 1.8 or a newer version.
  • Teaming is not allowed in UHCMeetup. If players request it enough, we might add teamgames later.

    • Survival Games 2.1
  • A new season has started in Survival Games which means both ratings and stats have been reset!
  • Wool server selectors have returned in place of the queue.
  • Voting has returned. Donator ranks receive more votes depending on there level. The way voting works now is everyone's votes get counted then it does it based on percentage voting, which means the more votes a map gets, the better chance it gets of being selected. This also means that lesser played maps might sometimes get randomized in.
  • FFA and To2 have been re-merged together into a single game type, which is FFA. FFA now allows teaming up to a team limit of 2 - if you are caught teaming with more then another person at a time you will ALL receive punishments.
  • A new rating algorithm which will reward doing more actions in game over people who do nothing has gone live. Place hardly matters now, it's what you did and did not do in the game that matters. Also slows the progression of people who team while rewarding soloing and the occasional truce.
  • Scoreboard has been slightly redone to show more data you care about and less you don't.

    • CTF
  • When a game turns to countdown mode, a message is sent to all arena lobbies and bungee lobbies that can be clicked on to join by other players.
  • Games now only require 1 person per team to start.

    • Arena Lobbies
  • Events item (gold sword) has been replaced with Minigames (diamond) which now opens a menu for SG, UHCM, and CTF gamemodes.
  • CTF and UHCM game starts are announced in the lobbies (including bungee lobbies).

    • Rating and stat changes
  • Stats and ratings in UHCM, SG, and CTF are now based on the region they were played on. This means you have a separate rating and stats for each region (which means you can have four different ratings for SG). This will be moving onto all Arena S15 and UHC6, and all future gamemodes. No longer do you have to be afraid on playing on other regions for fear of messing up your main server stats/ratings. NOTE: this does mean you might be on the leaderboards more then once if you have multiple regions with high ratings/stats.

    • Infrastructure
  • Website changes for the above will be going live tomorrow.
  • There have been several server spawner changes which should make new server spawn faster and easier.
  • There have been updates to the database which should make servers not lose connection to the database anymore unless the database goes down, and now the database will auto reconnect and re-execute failed queries when it turns back on (this is BIG for AU stability).


    • With all infrastructure changes, there might be some instability for the next day or so. This is required because once these bugs are fixed, the new systems will make Badlion a lot more stable and less downtime issues. Also we will be throwing a lot of work into Arena Season 15 and UHC 6.0 (and MiniUHC) once these are completely bug free and ready to go. And of course, premium is coming faster then you know it.

    We recommend you try all the gamemode changes, and of course thanks for playing Badlion!


    What do you mean with that? ''Rerolls have been added. D/D+ receive 1 free daily, while Lions and higher receive 2 free daily. What this does is allows a full re-randomization of what you spawned with. Can only be used during countdown. WARNING: you might receive something you feel is worse by doing this. You can also win rerolls by winning a game, but they must be used before the daily reset.''? I don't understand that pretty good.

    During the countdown you'll get a message saying how many rerolls you still have for today. D/D+ receive 1 free one a day, Lions and higher receive 2 free ones a day. Every game you win you get an extra reroll for the day.

    A reroll allows you to get a full new kit. So new armor, new weapons, new healing and new miscellaneous items. You can only reroll once a game so it could be your armor is worse after doing a reroll.
