Hello, everyone! We are glad to announce the soon arrival of the upcoming Badlion HCFactions map (July 4th, 12:00 PM EST). We’ve listened to feedback regarding last map, and have made a variety of changes to provide a more fluid gameplay experience. In this thread, we will be addressing the multitude of changes to the balance of PvP, the economy and events.

Balance
We have introduced new enchantment and potion restrictions. It was our goal to create a kit that is welcoming to new players, and rewarding to more experienced players. In the new kit Feather Falling will be the only form of protection enchantment. As a result, armor will be more durable and long lasting. Consequently, due to the increased durability and obtainability of the kit, players will not have to constantly worry about losing their armor, and can focus on more demanding matters. To accommodate for the lack of protection, sharpness will be capped at tier one. With our veterans in mind, we tried not to deviate far from our previous map’s kit. I won’t dally on the topic much longer, as you can find a more detailed analysis of the kit below.

Economy
Last map, we tried to force players to become less reliant on the spawn-based shop, and more so on each other. This map, we’ve decided to the balance the shop based on feedback, and decreased the prices of most items accordingly. Factions will no longer be required to go to ridiculous heights to obtain luxuries such as hoppers, ender portals and other items, while still remaining a challenge.

Events
We have introduced a new event this map, and we’ve completely revamped the loot tables of all our events. Events will reward you based on their difficulty, and not all one a single levels. As a result, some events are a higher priority than others. We’ve introduced a new event for those who don’t have PvP in-mind. This new self-titled event, correctly called “Double ExP” doubles the amount of experience you get from spawners, mining, smelting, breeding, killing mobs and bottles of enchanting (obtained from events), effectively rewarding base-bitching.

We hope that you enjoy the new map. The staff will do their best to accommodate the needs of the players to make the experience better for all players. Below are more details concerning the new kit.
