Kodauer Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Minecraft update 1.8 will be released September 2nd! This update is massive, bringing new blocks, mobs, game mechanics, and more! Go check it out for yourself here. Once bukkit is released for 1.8, the following changes below will occur on our server. General Server Changes We are dropping the lobby idea, temporarily. All servers will still remain. By default, all users will join the factions server. The idea for this is grow our player-base on our most popular server (factions), then reintroduce the lobby idea when our mini-game development is done by RedGander. FactionsIntroduction of Star-Caches! Whenever player-count reaches 30, a message will be broadcasted announcing the start of a "Star-Cache" event. The coordinates of the starcache will be revealed in the broadcast message (There will be 3 predefined areas for these events to be, each labeled with a dynmap marker). A 5 minute countdown will commence, giving factions time to ready themselves for battle. Once the countdown reaches zero, loot will spawn in the chests around the coordinates given. Whoever gets the loot will walk away rich.... perhaps some super-powerful tools, weapons, armor.... that is if they can get out of there alive . Enchantment and potion limits will remain. I saw much more PvP this map, and it worked well. New Creeper mechanics will be put into full force. Obsidian, water and lava will not protect against them. You'll have to be smart about your base designs in order to survive. TnT is going to be nerfed somewhat, due to extremely over-powered grief mechanics with the addition of slime blocks in 1.8. Creepers will spawn abundantly, in place of this. More delays regarding the GC shop. Clavus' GC plugin will be nullified with name changes in the upcoming update. Addition of a /spawn command.Keeping pearl/snow-ball mechanics.Addition of a new admin to our team! If you haven't submitted an app already, feel free to do so. One candidate will be chosen in the next couple days. Addition of cool spawn builds/parkour (think pirate ship map)Factions 1.6 branch will return! PvP ServerRemoval of the punch 2 bowsNew FFA mapCreativeWe'll probably have to start a new world, due to some uncontrollable chunk error issues. SurvivalPossibility of going public soon. Highly doubt it. Please post any suggestions or comments in this thread. Thanks! More news to come soon.... Quote Link to comment
jillesstijn64 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 That sounds nice only one thing, if there are 3 places where the star-cache will spawn, and not more, people will get an alt there, go offline, and if there is star-cache they will get on with that account, take all the loot, and go offline again...

The loot dosen't spawn befour the countdown is done. So if someone puts an alt there they'll most likely die when the rest comes. Quote Link to comment
SkyBlue Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 SurvivalPossibility of going public soon. Highly doubt it. NO. No, for real, why? no no no, no pls. Quote Link to comment
Kodauer Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Indeed, the star cache will have multiple safe-proofs to make sure it isn't abused.SurvivalPossibility of going public soon. Highly doubt it. NO. No, for real, why? no no no, no pls.What's wrong with this? More players = good. We'll have some anti-grief measure in place, of course. Quote Link to comment
jillesstijn64 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Okay, now I think its 100% perfect Quote Link to comment

marcus6x6 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 i like it. Expect ous. Quote Link to comment
xpr0legendx Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Currently there are admins and chatmods for each specific server. And since we're dropping the lobby idea, I was wondering if the admins would be admin on all servers (Factions, pvp, survival and creative). Quote Link to comment

Skyblock seems popular nowadays. I'll look into it for sure. Currently there are admins and chatmods for each specific server. And since we're dropping the lobby idea, I was wondering if the admins would be admin on all servers (Factions, pvp, survival and creative). If you're an admin on either the PvP/Faction server, you'll be admin on both. Creative/survival will continue to be run by me/RedGander. As for chatmods, we'll see about that. Quote Link to comment
SkyBlue Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) What? skyblock is popular now? it was popular like 3 years ago, now its more forgot than bricks houses.Indeed, the star cache will have multiple safe-proofs to make sure it isn't abused. SurvivalPossibility of going public soon. Highly doubt it. NO. No, for real, why? no no no, no pls.What's wrong with this? More players = good. We'll have some anti-grief measure in place, of course. If theres a way to make people dont grief then im agree but omg, we cant control the guys whitelisted and now in public? that scares me. Edited August 24, 2014 by SkyBlue Quote Link to comment
Kodauer Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Skyblock is indeed popular, if you add several correct things. Yes, there'll be a week or two before survival goes public so people can protect their land. In other news, congrats to robbi_pvp and xpr0legendx on being promoted to admin.

minemaxwilde Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 i like everything except the part of the /spawn command couse it was fun to just walk to a portal and we even found glitches to get there so please do not add a /spawn command Quote Link to comment

Current MC admin team:KodauerRedGanderDingo_pvpRobbi_pvpXpr0legendx Gratz robbi + xpr0, Oh, i also like the new stuff And, i don't like the old faction etc, I like the /f f, and /f p. Also, Does it mean the old /f owner will return? And no /f perm?? Quote Link to comment
Kodauer Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 We're only going to test the spawn command. If it doesn't work out, we'll remove it. Yes, /f owner will return. Factions 2.x is flawed in so many ways, 1.6 is better. Quote Link to comment

jillesstijn64 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ye, I didnt know if I was allowed to mute york for that faction name, but as I see this, I think I am...? Btw Kod, can you check out the hacker reporting topic? Quote Link to comment
Max Kilinger Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I'm sorry for being immature, Kodauer. I will improve my behavior next map and not act like a mentally-challenged 12 year old.Yup^^^^ Edited August 27, 2014 by Max Kilinger Quote Link to comment

We'd get more players(And ones which are typically more pleasant) if we integrate that. Quote Link to comment

Guest Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Will there be an massive unban again? I don't hope so... Oh, is it possible, you would unban "steenooo"? That account is banned for a long time, impuls appriciate it really much Quote Link to comment

Swearing, if used in moderation, is okay. I want desert biomes back.I'll try to find a decent world spawn, the last couple haven't had any deserts. Quote Link to comment
Balmung Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Could you expand on this? My definition of profanity includes all swearing. Swearing, if used in moderation, is okay. I get that falling into lava might warrant something like a "no fucking way / lol oshit" which Isn't the same as this dutch trend of telling people "get kanker". But both should be against the rules but just warrant a different response from the admin team. It just keeps the server clean and fun and nobody gets offended. Quote Link to comment
