Let's be honest here, factions feels like survival and there is hardly any raiding happening. How does factions feel like survival? Hardly any whole faction event doesn't feel like factions at times since the map is so huge I could build a wood base and not got raided for a week or more No raiding ? The map is huge, yet nothing interesting is in the whole map. How many of you actually find a decent raid every day ? Well we could make factions fun again and the solution would be scheduled Koths (King of the hill). We could have scheduled Koths every 3 hours about 4 times per day, that would be fun and competitive. You would see factions competing to cap the koth. There would of course have to be some sort of reward for capping and that's where the port 5, unbreaking 4, and sharp 6 being to op in the shop come in. For the next factions reset, remove those enchants from warp shop and only make it available to be received from capping koth. ( will add more soon, don't want to make it long just want to get an idea out there )
Good idea been said many times before, but always denied. Also there could be something called a 'Koth Crate Key' so after the person has capped the Koth they must make sure to make it out alive with the key. Then they can go to warp crates and get a reward from the key, they could also choose to sell the crate key.
As a person who spent more than a year in the hcf community I'd really like to see koth's getting added here. Factions aren't really intresting considering there isn't too much pvp and when it is it's mostly kiting. Adding koth's would make bigger factions play more and try harder than simply afking the whole time. Making the server more hcf-like would make it more competitive which is never a bad thing. +1 on your idea
