  1. Time to write a bit of introduction to Factions for other people who don't know how to play it:

     

    What is Factions?

    Factions is a gamemode where different factions of players build bases and defend them, meanwhile raiding other factions' bases. However though, it is not just a simple game of base breaching and pvping. Factions is a very complicated gamemode that can be incredibly fun, frustrating, and immersive.

     

    What does Factions offer?

    If you think Factions is like Towney where everyone is friendly and everything is fun and games, then sadly, you are wrong. Factions offer many things : Base building(Very Important)! farming stuff just like normal Minecraft, and etc. But, it also offers a new way of fighting your enemies, on a much larger scale. Form Coalitions, Alliances, and etc. With friendly factions. Scout the world for another faction's base. Ambush enemy members. Create Cadet branches and others. Infiltrate and betray an enemy Faction. Suprise attack "ally". Endless possibilities.

    Finishing Words

    Factions will not be an easy gamemode to start, especially without friends and allies to play with. Getting raided is a part of the game, and you will get raided one day. Don't be frustrated. It's a part of the learning process. Next time you'll learn how to hide your chests, how to create an alternate base. One day, you might just get revenge. Feel the satisfaction when your wither bursts through his obsidian walls. If you like teamplay, base building, raiding, PvP, infiltrate, backstab, politics, and much more, Vote Factions.


  2. I'm personally not a fan of PvP (unless its in a controlled environment such as an event arena) and know full well that with factions there will be groups just going around 1. constantly lying to and slaying new players and not giving them a chance to 2. actually build a settlement before its destroyed forcing them to leave the server in frustration and most likely not to return.

     

    Therefore because we can't recode factions unless there is another gamemode plugin available which allows weaker players to play peacefully and keep their builds protected I am going to vote for towny but with changed settings to discourage one giant nation being formed against several tiny hamlets.

     

    I think factions will only be fine if we can limit the maximum size of factions otherwise there will be this one giant faction that just obliterates the smaller factions and takes their land, no new player would want to play if that is the case.

    Some thoughts from a factions vet:

    1. Unless there are over a thousand players this wouldnt be a case. Starting in factions will be incredibly easy if it was the size of the towny server. If its really that hard to get out of spawn just add a /tpr (random tp) command.

    2. This is why YOU HIDE YOUR BASE. Go a thousands of blocks away from spawn and build a base underground. Try to bust into that. Big factions won't waste time on smaller factions most of the time. Getting raided in faction is a part of the game. If you don't like that go play towney. Even bigger factions get raided.

     

    A solution to solve this:

    Add "peaceful" factions. These factions cannot raid, be raided, pvp, be killed in pvp, tnt damage turned off, etc. This is a thing in the factions plugin(Unless I forgot). However though you can't just build up your faction in peaceful and you will need to apply for peaceful flags on the forums etc.

     

    3. There will always be faction superpowers. A faction can Branch into different ones, and have protectorates. Although I'm pretty sure a faction can only have 30 people by default. Again, factions is not designed to be fair and friendly.


  3. I, personally, disagree with this because a few reasons:

    Judging by the current situation, I really doubt the server will stand up again once you knock it down.

    The spawn won't be completed for quite some time I'd say.

    Some people, especially those who actually played for a long time, may not play again due to the restart.

     

    But ofc, these are just my opinions.


  4. I have acquired a vpn through my means and is posting here now. DO NOT VISIT CHINA RN IT IS HOT AF(30-40 C) I'm melting like butter rn. Still can't do much because of an unstable connection, but I will periodically check steam, discord, and forums. Yes, google and YouTube is banned in China and I'm surviving on a few single player games and seasons of GoT. A great watch, really. Somewhat having fun , the food here is actually really good. Almost got killed by marauding cars though.


  5. if there is debate with people wanting it and not wanting it I will put a poll up for enabling it once me and hina have decided what we should do with it.

    There isnt really any reason why someone wouldnt want it though


  6. Well from what I remember, super removed it because it's broken as in OP for having it in our servers. Me and quite a few people have the elytra and I could say that it shouldn't be in the game due to it's uses. Sure it helps you get from places to places, but that itself is pretty over powered. I would say keep it disabled because OP

    It can be op for a pvp environment but Im pretty sure there is an activation time or something


  7. 11 MINUTES IN I am changing to a -1, your attitude has been awful, and as said trolling/advertising hacks is not allowed, this is shown in the GENERAL MOTD, so rules that apply to all xG servers. Not knowing/understanding the rules is on you, and you were warned many times to stop with the binds, but didn't stop. You're also awful at lying.

    Demo posted


  8. Going by the screenshots, you can't really tell much. For future bans like this, Spoopy, you need to record a demo. You'll just get situations like this if you don't.

     

    Anywho, I'm just going to throw a shot in the dark and give this a +1 for an unban.

    If you look at the second screenshot, Spoopy provided, you can see the barrel of the sniper rifle. Giving Shining the benefit of the doubt that he indeed has a good perception in-game.

    And let's be honest. How many times do people go to a "sniping" spot, die, and go right back to the spot? Whenever I'm on the servers, that literally is the case. It could easily be that Cappy got predicted multiple times.

     

    And lets say the guy actually was hacking. If he is unbanned, comes back, and is dumb enough to actually hack again after a "get out of jail free card"; staff should record the hacking and follow up with a ban.

    1. I wasn't using the same spot. I used many different spots across the map.

    2. Getting killed by me and other people on the server repeatedly in open areas isn't exactly good in-game perception.
