»[Factions] The Beginning Of A Change

Sorry, hit the wrong button and posted this, and i have no Edit button.

Anyway, instead of trying to stuff everything into original, how about using Factions Black and Factions Original to their full potential? Black was meant to be an op raiding server, and original is meant to be more pvp.

Therefore, my idea for Factions Black is to add a farming economy into black. Raise the selling prices considerably in black to make money easier to get, and therefore ceggs and withers and sponges and tnt easier to obtain. Even though factions original is about pvp, you can still add custom enchants here to make it more op, and raiding more worthwhile. Add zombie and skeleton spawners in shop for decent prices. And if orignal's chest buster isn't implemented already, then it should be.

For Factions Original, add gapples in shop at about 20k. I know that is more expensive than other players will sell them for, but that makes buying them at shop your last resort. Either add custom enchants, or keep it vanilla minecraft and remove sharp 5 and protection 5. Also, if possible, make armor break at their normal rate here which should encourage more pvp, and make it more profitable. Make a potion shop to encourage pvp, and sell p4 unb 3 sets or books in shop for about 50k a set or 35k for 4 books. Sell god bows and god swords in shop for about 20k a piece.

If there is someway to encourage players to play on both servers instead of just one, it would work really well. Instead of having just faction wars on one of the servers, you can fight cross-server wars between factions.

And one more idea to play with is adding pvp mcmmo into Factions Original. While I personally don't like that, it would probably fit rather well into a pvp-based server.

These are the kind of ideas that would take place when the servers reset, and I think they would work best if they reset at the same time. Anyway, I'll stop rambling and let everyone see what they think of this.

 

agreed with as many "e"s as I could fit in there

 

agreed

 

Chest busting is there on factions original, and raiding should be more worth while, but factions black isn't where I'd be if at all, I think factions original has the bigger bases, the most competitiveness, the most players, the better economy, etc and I doubt people are willing to transfer to faction black and faction original at the same time unless its exceedingly good, I still hold onto the idea of ceggs in factions being sold in shop just as faction black, it really isn't op.. its simply useful and a intelligent raiding source, especially with large bases which clearly aren't very prominant on factions black. Still nevertheless, agree with all the statements / suggestions

 

Well thats something for faction black, however I dont see any other way outside of adding ceggs in shop which is also in faction black that could possibly actually make raiding worth while, else its quite basically making any base with a regen wall a god base, due to the very small hole you can make by even raiding it at all.

 

Although Idk about the lag part, I can say that even some donators are leaving, although not many members are seen over long periods of time, I've noticed an increase in lots of donators leaving. Idk if its just me or just what times I come and check.

 

Well, that's the point. Or at least make it so that factions original doesn't have 150 players online and black has 20.

 

I personally think faction black should become a cannon testing server, to improve testing on factions original and to advance the server so players become extremely more skilled (no offense but we really aren't skilled when it comes to such things such as massive bases / cannons)

 

I personally think the server is fine, however some events would be nice to have. I don't have any examples right now but we can come up with some. Events that give players rewards would be nice in particular. It would give people something to do other than just raiding, farming. Which is the point of a faction server but lets be honest... we want to have fun at times lol. One could be like, the person who kills the most cows in the next 5 minutes gets *insert amount of money here*, or who ever gathers the most coal in the next 5 minutes gets *insert reward here*. Stuff like that, it'd be cool seeing everyone play as a community.

 

What the faction server needs is easily accessible cobs. With the custom biomes there seem to about 30 cobs in a mineshaft instead of what used to be 250. We need cobs because bases are getting bigger then ever before.

Im experiencing some lag on factions, not much. I have a lot of lag on potpvp, I live in the Netherlands and have an average ping of 7, download speed of 80 Mbit and uploadspeed 20 Mbit. Potpvp shouldnt lag in my case, but it does 90%
of the games. Only when there are less ppl, it gets better. I think if the lag gets fixed 75% of complaints will vanish.

The kit potionsupplies should be improved with more stuff in it. Add cobs to kit cannon.

Add a new kit or buyable for 5-10 euros in the shop. I think some ranks cost a lot of money. A lot of players are prepared to pay 5 to 10 euros every now and then. Maybe an iron iv kit or something like that.

I would greatly welcome redstone torches. Not that they are really needed, but they do make life easier.

 

Very true, lag seems to come into play in lots of areas, nevertheless it has improved, but not to the point where we can cannon with 200 stackers or anything crazy like that.
