Why don't you ask your leader to owner it for you "/f owner jbmorion" it owners the plot in your name. most faction owners arent on 24/7 so for a large fac it may be difficult to get members land ownered ect, because the owner is offline and the server is been run by mods. just a random point not sure if ther eis a way out there but the ability to merge or have to owners to a fac might be useful

yea but the point is that people are asking for mods to be able to since they can bypass it if they want to anyway so theres no reason why they shouldnt be able to set ownership

i dont think you can... and i didnt see one in the /f help list, and theres no point if mods cant seeming they can take from ownered land anyway. also next time you make a pole atleast add an option for people to disagree with you, otherwise its pointless because for all we know there could be 50 players who want to disagree (not that theres likely to be)

well its nto helpign me because maybe my web browsers just strange or im that incapable of finding a link but i cant find the news in ENGLISH anywhere

1 the last thing we need right now is something that would stop anyone at all from joining, yes massive pvp might be fun for a couple hours before it got old but it would be stupid with the land claim like you said because without meaning any offence to alot of our playerbase there are alot of noobs out there and theyre not invited for a reason, and its not that they cant be trusted(ownership fixes that) THEY JUST DIE ALOT!

Already discussed this with Ywa, the old wordpress website will no longer be used. There's a giant banner for international visitors that leads you to this Minecraft forum. yea i saw that and as you can see i as with most people are able to naviagte to these forums the thing is that the other site that we had before had in both english and dutch the 'server news' or updates or whatever you want to call them

you need a giant link to that on the website since its taken over the other adress and like was said before i dont speak dutch either and have no idea whats going on

firstly let me just say = bringing it back to vanila THANK YOU SO MUCH, 2- remove water blocks? terrible idea thepoint is that your meant to be able to defend your base, otherwise what would you do when a donator walks along and goes, hmmm gc shop. buys 5 stacks of tnt and sets it off there would be no defences. just allowing glitching and pearls would be better. and yes i think we need to bring enchants and brewing ect back this map.

1 yes the lag need s to be fixed i struggle to even play on the server these days because of it but i think its because of the update (since i know other servers who have suffered from the lag since it) and hopefully mojang will fix this. really we should just bring back enchanting tables in bases with easy xp anyone could enchant and it would make it fairer and more like standard minecraft, as with the brewing, as its no fun carrying all your ingredients across the map so in turn less people do it and the people that do become way overpowered. i dont understand why you all have a problem with 'normal' minecraft wich is what were playing. people ply minecraft because they like minecraft and want to play minecraft, so why change the server. it was fun before when you could enchant an dbrew in your base and it never really caused that much trouble for people so i call to bring it back to how it was before the build competition. the ONLY thing that i think really needs to be changed from the way minecraft is if there was some way that you could bring the xp system back to how it was before the last update. -also selling villager spawn eggs , good idea 1 major problem, DUPING

not sure if there is another topic somewhere that i should have posted this in, couldnt find one so if so sorry, anyway.i was just scrolling throgh the gc menu today and realised that the items that were removed a couple maps back with the furnace towers map(iron gear , iron ect) have not been readed, im not sure if this was intentional or not but i though id mention it also idea for gc pack - archer (bow arrows ect )

just wanted to point out that your aim with the enchanting was to level the gap and make pvp fair... only problem is that now u need multiple members plus pearls to get the high level enchants and have to be able to survive at the table so that ONLY the best players can get to it and enchant well or at all. anyway just pointing it out

seriously guys, get over that you got raided, if there willing to DONATE ( the thing that keeps this server running) to have a peacful faction they should be able to exploit its benifits, its not their fault if your incapable of making a tnt proof base. anyway im pretty sure theres a plugin or bug (not sure which one) that stops tnt from exploding in a factions land when all their members are offline so its not like there doing it at a time when no-one can stop them.

...just wondering, how would that even work, if you had an extra monitor wouldnt they both just share the exact same image?

what i think is we should only have the npc fropping plugin and maybe make ti so that plugin drops ur power... not the other one because that way it only has an effect in combat when theres actualy someone there to hit u... also this allows for 'tactical logging' or logging in someones base so that you may hide and wait for them to come back when u disapear from the map which is great exept this plugin makes u wait a long long time before u can... also reduce the no damage time when u login also for this same reason.

i have a feeling tho that the problem is that the damage is aalready done, and that most players, mainly those who dont regularly check the forums about there been a new map coming will leave forever... and it will take a long time to get that player base back up.the thing we need most of all rather than changingto much of the map (besides reverting it back to like it was last map before the build comp) is to puch advertising, and try to cram in as many players as we possibly can

You're really not considering balance here at all, and many of your scenarios are close to impossible. A new faction wil never manage to claim the end, as it lacks to power to fight the factions wandering about in fully enchanted diamond armour and weapons. If anything it will just get claimed by the faction they;re trying to take the end from. The end gives those that control it such an obscene amount of power that it's completely unfair. Next off, enchantments ruin skill. There's no two ways about it. No matter how good you are, if they have better equipment then you're going to lose. Look at bows, for example. They become useless against diamond armour and even more useless as that person gains enchantments. A maximum power bow vs maximum protection diamond will actually do less than if it were a normal bow vs normal diamond. A problem with minecraft, in my opinion, is how weak bows become. Bows require quite a bit of skill to use, but are nowhere near as effective as running up and jumping while mindlessly hacking away at enemies. But I digress. Enchanting will be as easy as ever. Sure, it'll take a tiny bit longer to get cows. But that'll just further increase the gap between older and newer factions. And, in fact, with the lowered enchanting maximum level it will be even easier to get those high level enchantments once you have the book. So this new server will become a race to see who makes a table first, because of how much more easily you come by levels. As entertaining as dungeons are, they are exremely bad for balance. The moment you find a skeleton dungeon all your efforts will immediately be focused on claiming it for an XP/arrow/bow farm. Once structures like this start getting set up, newer factions fall very far behind. And by playing faction wars you're not playing minecraft. Faction wars has an entirely different feel to minecraft. If I wanted to minecraft vanilla, I'd play minecraft vanilla. What I want is a warring world where landscapes are torn to pieces by war. Empires rising and falling. Large scale battles behind fought in no-mans land to see who can assimilate who. But from what I see, there's still a few changes that need to be made for that to happen. thats the problem tho if there is no gap between factions that are much older then pvp becomes more boring ... the idea is that a faction is able to rise to power and then have a bonus, and if theyve devoted large amounts of time to the game then they deserve that reward... and if its all about ust skill and everyone is equal the game gets boring quickly, different levels give you a goal to aim for and some variation in battle.

He was actually talking without prior knowledge and making sweeping assumptions. His logic pattern most likely follows this- I have few diamonds > Diamonds are hard to find > A few factions have a large number of members with full diamond armor > Duping exploits have happened before with similar results > Therefore all factions with full diamond armour must be dupers. It makes sense, but it forgets a large number of other variables. True, but duping is pointless, stupid, and lazy. Diamonds are easier to find in this map, I found a few at layer 30. If diamonds become very rare, it could become easier to catch dupers. I got 19 diamonds in total from mining. No duping. It takes 26 diamonds to make a full set of armor and a sword. But, the last thing may be right. In my singleplayer world I have 140 diamonds, and despite the fact I have a Fortune III enchanted pick, it took me a few months to earn those fair and square. If, say, a faction had 10 people, and they all had diamond armor and swords, it would equal to 260 diamonds. No faction would have gotten them via trade, and by the time everyone has diamond armor the base has to have already been raided or the diamonds stolen. This map has a lower frequency of ores compared to default spawning, yet my faction with 8 people, only 4 of which get on frequently, have 4 full sets of diamond. I don't want to say much else, because I'm sure people will raid us. But let's just suffice to say we won't have a shortage soon. It's taken us all of a week and a half to obtain all of that. My point is this- Raiding pays off quite well. sure.. raiding pays off well... but you cant raid someone with diamonds unless you have atlest a diamond sword and usually half a set of diamonds, or a hell of aalot of splash pots so yes it pays off but no it doesnt work so well here with the shortage of materials unless you have like you said several players on constantly mining, and most of us dont have that many players on 24/7 devoted just to mining diamonds for armor

.... wht is it with all of you... i dont know about anyone else but i came here to play minecraft not some game with half of its functions missing... the end is good, it creates an objective for the major powers to fight over, and lets minor factions raise to power if they manage to claim it. its just an element of the faction WARS . enchnts nd potions are fun... it means you can play to get a bit better and there neither that hard to get or that hard to kill someone using them. structures are good things they givesomethign fun in the first few days of the map as a mad rush for them to gin the valuable loot, and safety of the building.sure maybe you could slightly limit some effects like make harming on 1 not 2 and sharpness up to 3 but that takes away from the game. they way i see it a order of players is good, it means that they new players have to work their way to the top before they cn take on the major powers with their enchants, and really it doesnt take that long to level up your xp... theres one reason i play on this server... its beacuse theres no bullshit about it its just plain simple pvp minecraft, no mcmmo, no level ranking to give players an extra edge besides that which is provided by the game its just minecraft with factions, and there really arent alot of them... besides enchanting takes time to get bookshelves ecspecially now since you need leather and we all know everyone kills all the animals in the first 5 minutes of a game so dont kill off all the things that make minecraft minecraft because thats that game i bought and thats the game i intend to play. thankyou. ps not being able to place furnaces is scaring away new players... edit: almost forgot dungeons are good theyre a fun experiance while your mining.

i know this is propably a little late but i just read the post and thought id mention it. although im sceptical about digging out everything marking it into chunks will help... because from what iv heard you plan on 'warzoning' this arena . .. and like claims warzones work in chunks which means if you want people to be able to safely spectate ... and be able to fight you will need to safezone/warzone parts of the arena once your done, otherwise the spectators will murder each other faster than the constestants, ecspecially sinse theres no combat in a poeacful faction... either way count me in

ok not sure if this would work to fix the dupe problem but maybe... instead of representing green coins with an ender pearl you could use a cheap useless block like dirt so that if someone wants to dupe then all they get is a dirt block instead of an ender pearl. hope this helps

also i suggest you do something eith firespread. ... as much as i love starting fires and watching them burn peoples houses down i can see either a lightning strike or a more deliberate fire starting and with jungle covering the whole map i can see very large portions of the map being destroyed

with the faction power gc items landlord ect,when you loose power in the game do u loose 4 points or all points ie if u have an extra 2 power bringing you up to 6, do you loose 6 points or 4 points... thanks

never got around to finishing the outside ring and making it into a huge arena but i thought id enter it anyway... coords re 280 , 1700 . it can be either a simple pvp arena or a mob arena (although there seems to be problems with spawn eggs) mob arena is activated by a lever above the room where mobs spawn... and it is recomeded to fight mobs at night. sorry no screenshots D: forgot to add - entrants are jellyfish999111 (me only)

not that its that important but is there a reason people can still claim each other land....
