Release Date : ~Friday, May 23rd @ 5PM ESTWe have completely redesigned the server to offer a Vanilla Factions experience. The expected features (Teleporting, TNT raiding, spawn store) have been implemented as well as a number of events and locations to encourage PVP and make it easier for you guys to jump straight into the action.
Some of the major changes :
- Strength and Regeneration have been scaled down to provide a more balanced form of PVP. We felt that, as of 1.7, Strength and Regen were too powerful, but in 1.5 the potions were too weak. We have custom created our own potency for the potions which is approximately half way between 1.5 and 1.7. We will be gathering user feedback on these changes as the map progresses.
- Punch 2 has disabled. Additionally, you cannot be punched back while in water (This only effects the Knockback enchantment, the vanilla hitback of a bow is still applied)
- The End is not editable or claimable
- There are warps in spawn to allow players to jump directly into a PVP FFA outside of the mini-spawn areas.
- The spawn store has been greatly expanded to include most of the core items in the game.
- Plugins such as ObbyBreaker and SIlkSpawners have been added to provide the familiar Vanilla experience.
- Many events to ensure there is plenty of PvP in addition to raiding.
- A fancy Tab menu with a bunch of information such as K/D, Homes, Faction Members online, and more cool stuff.
- The map will last several months and will end in a climactic World's End Event. The winners (Faction) of said event will receive a prize (will announce when it gets closer to the World's End Event)
Additionally, we have custom coded as much of the server as we could to avoid the lag experienced by other servers. We aim to have a consistent 19.9 TPS. During Start of the World we will be tracking the server load to identify more ways to reduce lag overall, so expect a bit of lag at that time.
More info will be released over the next 2 weeks. Expect a post every 2 days explaining a feature of the server in more depth over in the Faction Forums
EDIT:
Day 1: King of the Hill
Day 2: God Loot
Day 3: Some Tweaks to Vanilla Minecraft
Leave any questions or suggestions you have in the comments.

Gonna try not to be pessimistic, but I fear every time the thought of pvp occurs it will be resolved by "hey lets go to the kit pvp and 1v1 so we don't lose gear here"Posted on 09 May 2014 - 03:02 PM

For 1v1's sure, for all out battles over events, I don' think so.

What about the dungeons?Posted on 10 May 2014 - 04:53 AM
Can we do a vote to see who wants to do a Vanilla kit and a HCF kit, and TnT Raiding and no TnT. Otherwise it would basically be like every other faction server out there except no Strength II…Posted on 10 May 2014 - 05:09 AM

The vote is from the past, we did a No TnT server more styled after HCF and people HATED it. Now we are doing the opposite which is what people asked us to do.

Back to no-lifing walls? q.qPosted on 10 May 2014 - 09:18 PM
I Like The Sounds Of All Of This So Far, But I Have One Question And This Will Be The Decision Making Thing If I Move to Badlion from the server I Play on or stay, Will There Be Iron Golem Spawners In Shop? And Will Withers be Enabled, Also Lastly I Think End Should be enabled!Posted on 10 May 2014 - 10:07 PM

For the End, Mastergberry said "The End is not editable or claimable". Which I think means that anyone can go there, but the top faction can't go there first and claim it and not let anyone else use it.

In order, no, no, it is enabled, it just can't be claimed. After the EnderDragon has been slain public end portals will be added to the map.
