In the reset, you can now see whats in the chests in claimed territory but can't take. In my opinion, I think it should be changed back to the old settings, you can't open or see anything in the chests in claimed territory. This makes the raiding aspect more hype and suspenseful because you don't know whats in the chests.
I like it this way. I haven't seen any other server do this - I'm excited to see how it changes things. The reason it was implemented this way, as Ax3d said in his post, was to provide a middle ground for the two sides wanting opposite things: One side wanted it so you couldn't open chests in claimed territory, whereas the other side wanted them to be fully openable regardless of what faction/diplomatic status you were. Not to mention I think we can all agree using a creeper egg on an empty chest feels like a sumo wrestler just fell on your big toe!
