Revamps

Spoiler

1) Yeah ac is a huge problem, everyone already knows this & is hoping the same for a fix

2) Punishments need to be recorded as there are multiple rules which can only exist due to that documentation. You weren't muted bc of "when you were younger" unless younger means maybe a month ago, because almost every time you are in chat you have the most pointless & petty arguments which escalate pretty quickly as well. Facs isn't dead and excluding the players ip'd for association (I think that rule is dumb) almost all of those bans are justified, and the ones who have interest in coming back have the opportunity to (and many have after waiting their time). It's not about how easy it is, it's a matter of principle, and not only is it a bad idea for this to change (except for chat offenses over 2 years as that is when they do not apply to perms and I can maybe agree w/ that), but it's certainly not going to from someone who has not at all modified their behavior. When you don't get into 20 min flame wars with someone based solely on when they started playing the server you can request your list being cleared.

3) The reason maps are 4 weeks is because people wanted it though..? 6w was definitely my preferred time but the majority of the community wants 4 weeks and as that is the model most other factions servers follow, which is important for attracting the outside (as well as holding the interest of the inside). In terms of key value, I would justify this by saying that unlike other servers Factions offers a significant amount of money for winning Ftop, and the keys aiding in it provides a risk v. reward for you because you of course have the potential to win way more. and while it does kind of suck that it is the state of factions that is just how it is, it is better for the server to take this direction as the climate of factions overall has changed.

4) No comment really but how many upgrades do you want? Things like SG already give you a ridiculous advantage with that tier 3 kit and it's the main reason I don't play that minigame, so if you are encouraging those types of upgrades across all of them definitely disagree. What's the point of a minigame over a subserver if you don't start on a (mostly) equal field?

5) Yeah I don't understand why they spoof minigames (especially when they don't do it for the subservers), would appreciate some transparency on this / a change to it

6) Why? It is not like servers are suffering from this and the second realm's popularity allows for players who did not have the chance to catch the early game (as that is extremely important for most of them) getting to try their hand at a leaderboard that is closer to their capability (also true for people who don't have a lot of time for MC, or have their main focuses elsewhere). I don't really see any reason for this to be changed and it is nice that the dual realm system is so considerate to those types of people, as other servers can be much less accommodating.

7) Maybe you're just burned out from mc? While there should be more maps added / rotated (I would personally advocate for a giant pool of maps that rotates weekly/monthly (leaning toward monthly)) referring to minigames, I don't think that this is their fault. For anyone listening though, hide n' seek minigame, remove power 1 from ctf bows, and consider an HCF server. Although the last one is especially unlikely it would be a great thing to keep players engaged in the server as well as attract new players to it as HCF has an exclusive community and many factions / practice players will play on those servers in their free time or between seasons!

8) Agree

9) No comment

10) If you mean fix signs I agree with this, ranks are pretty much irrelevant on kit (s6 will 4 hit you in p3 lol) so going towards changing that is something that I would strongly recommend.

11) Yes, I am not sure how much could be realistically added to the store but more / new pocket pals for starters would be a great thing to see in my book.

12) This is irrelevant to punishments. If you mean you lost them bc they quit the server, then they may not have been as good as you thought bc that should not be the determinant of your relationships. As for lifting them, see #2

13) Chatreports need to warn for warnable offenses before a mute is delivered, the fact that CR bypasses what makes those rules fair is stupid.

14) You can appeal it if you've changed your profile picture to get your unban, but your previous one is not allowed on most discords and that primarily is A) thinking of the people who are not of age to be seeing those types of things, B) not risking their server being deleted by ignoring/encouraging those types of pfps.

15) It's interesting that you mentioned him because he does way more than what you've accused him of here, definitely could have made a stronger case if you mentioned someone else but I do believe there needs to be an inspection / thorough review on the current group

16) I already suggested report but they shot it down, even though it is a much needed system especially w/ no AC they would rather have reports only be pinged in discord which often times is ignored. Please add this

17) kekw

18) The advantage here is that you can still be actively attacking someone while repairing, which would otherwise be time you would need to spend vulnerable so I can understand why this is here, disagree.

19) The server has received improvements in this regard (check changelogs) and while it definitely still has a long way to go seeing that they are actually working towards it is very nice and all you can really ask/hope for.

20) You can definitely wtap on here, pvp certainly is not perfect (mostly bc of hit detection) but overall I actually like it more than some other servers and do not see a reason for it to change / immediately change, especially with the more prevalent problems plaguing the server (one of which you mentioned in point 19).

You bring up some good complaints here but for some of them nothing's going to happen, for some of them nothing should happen, and then for some I am right there with you (some of those are also in the nothing's going to happen category), but you should seriously reflect on your behavior because it has given you quite the negative reputation w/ a lot of players (myself included) actually being happy about the idea of you leaving, it's mainly the petty / senseless arguments which has given you that image because realistically when you started doesn't matter, what you have done / what you are doing does and to a lot of us it has been "be unpleasant and argue whenever online about everything"

that's all from me.

 

I can see why you are impatient about the servers lack of change, anticheat, etc. but don’t worry, I have heard rumors of a mini game revamp and I don’t know when exactly it is said to be scheduled for but it is for sure something to look forward to. When it comes to the hacker problem, I guarantee that if you go on other servers it’ll be a similar situation. Very few servers now have a truly formidable anticheat so that is up to the staff to maintain for now. When it comes to the whole player spoofing thing, even if it’s true I don’t see why it is something to complain about in a post, +1 as I see that you’ve gone out of your way to put a lot of effort into this post, but also -1 as some of the things said here are not exactly necessary or the most important suggestion for this server. Thanks and have a great day!

 

Hello!

1- Alex & Vislo are working very hard on the new Anti-Cheat but as you may know, it takes time and they have a lot of things to do. Hopefully we will see the new Anti-Cheat working soon.

2- Punishments are not removed unless they are false.

3- Unfortunately there is not a Build Team at the moment, which makes it difficult to add new maps.

4- Hopefully it will change soon, if you have any ideas feel free to make a suggestion.

5- They do this to attract more players to the server.

14- You can avoid punishments in game, discord and forums by reading the rules. You can always appeal your punishment as well.

15- You must have more respect for the Staff Team. You don't know what happens "behind the game". Therefore, you must not judge their work if you dot not understand.

16- You can record & report players on Forums

Not going to go through all your revamp suggestions, as I agree with quite a lot of them (anti-cheat and a revamped punishment clear system, minigame perk upgrades etc.). Just going to go over some of the things you brought up.

• The player count spoofing is known and consciously done by the owners to maintain the impression that minigames are active/encourage people to enter waiting lobbies when there might not be any active games going on. It doesn't really affect gameplay, and I personally don't mind it if it means fuller minigames.
• Alex and Vislo have a build team on hand to do commissions if they need maps. That's how they usually get the subserver spawns. They should have enough maps from the OLD build team (something I know about because I was on it) combined with the community submitted maps to update every minigame once or twice. They just hasn't gotten round to it, probably because of the stress of 4 week faction maps and other subserver resets. Agreed that this does need to change.
• I've been critical of the staff team in the past, but downsizing isn't really a good fix. They certainly need more specialists (factions/PvP-based subservers in particular), and probably some players more on the older side, but considering the abysmal hacker issues the server has, you kinda need the extras for now (/report is desperately needed though). Don't try to conflate the staff's enforcing of not-very-lenient rules with abuse though.
  
• Staff do need more rigorous SS training, although they should have SS guides in their staff forums that they can just follow. Guessing that a lot of them don't want the hassle/potential for criticism that comes with screensharing, especially with known players.
  
• Don't go calling out TImp bud, I can promise you that you don't know how hard he works.

 

Hi!

1. I agree anti cheat on this server doesn’t exist but the staff team do respond to people on discord when they have found a hacker and do ban them when they get to doing it.

2. I do believe this but people have to pay their price if they bypass any rules, I also had to learn this the hard way.

3. I have not played factions that much but I do agree that the resets come a bit too quickly it should be around the same at sb at 5-6 months.

4. I am sure the owners are trying their best to come up with new games but it just takes a matter of time.

5. This could be a glitch.

6. I agree as sb2 is useless as only 30 people play on it.

7. Every season in all subservers something new is added, maybe playing a different subserver would make it more interesting.

8. A new build team is hard to get hold of but, I don’t understand as the new sb pvp arena looks very different compared to before and has brought a big change to sb.

9. I play kitpvp but I don’t have p5 meaning I cannot comment on this

10. I agree, we did pay for the rank but we do get a 50% discount on repairing which is better than nothing, meaning they thought it was too op last season on kitpvp.

11. I also feel something new should be added to the store but the staff team work as hard as they can and making all these new things isn’t very easy.

12. If you punishment clear then staff will not see your history and you must keep your faults to remind you not to do it again.

13. Can’t comment

14. I am not sure about this but as I said the staff do as best as they can and can’t always be at your service, remember they do it for free.

15. I also think /report should be a thing but they encourage you to video the hacker and post it on the forums.

16. They get banned if they fail to ss

17. Agreed we pay for the rank but changes must come to some things as they can ruin the economy of the server and be too op.

18. Can’t comment

19. Knockback depends on your ping so it is not necessary to blame the server before looking at your WiFi connection and location to the server.

All in all if you hate the server so much don’t play it! Find a new server to suit your likings.

Jold punishments from 2+ years ago like mutes don't count tword perm mutes so in a way you get a clear.

Anti cheat ye we need that but lets be honest we will never get it.

Im a prisons player so idc about factions but prisons reset has been put off for months now and im gonna quit if it doesn;t reset or if the delayed reset is not at all good like season 4. Alex needs to stop focusing on factions extend it to 2 months maps and focus on other sub servers as well I swear he only sees factions and those 100 players instead of the 400 prisons players waiting for months.

Alex wants to make his server seem epic and active, no its dead af and I think that 1000 of the players are fake.

I like the multiple realms 1 for serious grinders and realm 2 for more casual players

Kit pvp needs so much work I love the idea of nerfing gear.

Jold your active salty af the staff mute people for braking rules so don't brake them.

Timp is 21 and hes a great admin and I saw him online 2 weeks ago and hes on the forums.

My MAIN ISSUE WITH THIS SERVER IS KEYS. I feel like the store should make keys for each subserver and they DO Not last through reset. The server seem s so pay to win and its becuase people ahve keys stacked up. You should be able to do IRL deals for bycraft to use every season but keys should not be save through the seasons. As immortal monthly key make you get 1 key on every sub server.
