Map 23 Start of The World.

Kit

The kit has not yet been decided. We will be opening up our HCFactions 4.0 Development server over the next two days to review kits. The dev server will be open commencing 12PM CST, and will be a kit server, you grab your kits and fight it out, there is no deathban. As you are fighting and getting a feel for 1.8 combat we would like you to continue to submit bugs as you find them.

After some reading we've noticed you guys might want to try out the same kit we had back in map 16. That is the active kit on the server right now. We will be clearing inventories as we release a different kit.

Please let us know if there is a different kit you would like to try. Any kit that is different from those below and has the most up-votes we will do our best to throw in before SOTW. We will post a poll Friday night so you guys can choose what you want for Map 23!

Shotbow XP in Factions 4.0

After a large discussion brought up with the admins and Highlife, we’ve decided it is time to bump up our end of the Shotbow exp. So next map you will get the following XP for the following activities.

Capturing a Kill of the Hill: 300xp

Capturing a Palace: 750xp

Winning EOTW: 4000xp

Mining a Diamond: 10xp

Daily Login Bonus: 125xp

Killing a player in diamond: 125xp

We are also looking into additional ideas to get Shotbow XP in HCFactions. That also includes non PvP related XP Bonuses.

HCFactions 4.0

This map will be using our new HCFactions 4.0. This means its a new system for all of us, that includes staff. So bugs that may appear are simply due to a miss-configuration of a field, if you make us aware of any such bugs/miss-configurations, we will get them fixed as soon as possible. Our system is very complex and there is a lot to prepare, and for a first official run we’re excited to see how it goes. Remember if you find any bugs, please report them at http://hcfactions.net/bugz

Website

The HCFactions website will go offline on Friday the 23rd, in order to complete some maintenance for the 4.0 release.
