Why OpLifesteal? Why not change Lifesteal itself?As we are running on the latest versions of Minecraft it is hard to keep up with the ever-lasting battle with server performance, Lifesteal is peaking at 200 players, which is the maximum amount of players we are able to hold on a single instance of a 1.19 server, because of this we need to make more servers in order to hold more players. Rather than copy-pasting Lifesteal and having 2 realms, we decided it's more exciting for players to have more choice in what they want to play, a slower more normal version of Lifesteal, or a more fast-phased action, like OpLifesteal. This way we can hold up to 400 players while also offering players the to choose their own playstyle!

Since you have not added the features that players were asking for to the existing game mode, I would like to suggest that in-game ranks will be connected to both servers. Players who have bought a rank in the current game mode should not be forced to purchase a new rank because you decided to put the new features on a different server.

What is OpLifesteal?​

​

Last summer we released a fun new gamemode called Lifesteal, if you don't know what Lifesteal is, here is a small summary of what the gamemode is about:​

​

Lifesteal at PikaNetwork​

Lifesteal is a game mode where players can steal a heart from their opponents when they successfully kill them in battle. Conversely, when a player is killed by another player, they lose a heart. This mechanic adds an exciting and competitive edge to gameplay, as players must strategize and fight strategically to gain the upper hand and ultimately come out on top. With every victory, players can steal their opponent's heart, making it a thrilling and rewarding experience that encourages players to push their skills to the limit.​

​

Building on the success of our original Lifesteal game mode, OpLifesteal takes things to the next level with even more fast-paced, direct-action gameplay.​

​

OpLifesteal offers players the opportunity to engage in thrilling battles and compete against one another in a high-stakes environment. With more hearts available for players, battles can last longer and be even more intense. In addition, we've added plenty of other exciting features to keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat, including unique power-ups and items that can give you the edge you need to come out on top.​

​

Whether you're a seasoned Lifesteal player or a newcomer to the game mode, OpLifesteal has something for everyone. With its fast-paced gameplay and intense battles, this server is sure to keep you engaged and excited for hours on end.​

​

Changelog​

​

The following are the most important features that will be released in our brand-new OpLifesteal gamemode.​

​

Hearts! Obtain even more Hearts​

​

A big difference between Lifesteal and OpLifesteal is the amount of hearts you can obtain and spawn with.​

Rather than spawning with the usual 10 Hearts, at OpLifesteal you will spawn with 20 hearts!​

The maximum amount of hearts has been increased to 40 hearts, and after those 40 hearts you will be able to climb even further using the Heart Prestiges system.​

​

About Heart Prestiges​

Ever wanted to steal more hearts but you were stuck at the limit of the maximum amount of hearts? With the heart prestige system, you no longer have to worry about that!​

This new system allows players to gain an extra maximum heart, as well as additional rewards, at the cost of restarting with a lower amount of hearts upon prestiging.​

With Heart Prestige, you'll have the opportunity to reach higher levels of progression and power in the game.​

However, there is a limit to how many times you can prestige, so you'll need to choose your moments carefully. Each time you prestige, the rewards will become greater and the challenge of reaching the maximum hearts will become even more thrilling.​

Color your hearts​

The more you progress in prestige the more heart colors you will unlock, this is just a new fancy way to stand out on the tablist and in your nametag. Next to a bunch of extra rewards for prestiging you will now also earn a fancy new color once you have reached certain milestones!​

Skills Tree! Choose your own path​

The Skills Tree is a brand new unique feature coming to OpLifesteal. ​

This skill tree will give you access to brand-new certain perks and abilities that will further enhance you as a player. These skills can be unlocked with Rubies. The Skills Tree will be a replacement for the original skills that you can find at our normal Lifesteal realm, this new way of progression allows to player to choose their own path in what they want to focus on first rather than having a set of skills that are always unlocked and upgraded by doing simple tasks.​

​

Upgrade your Skill Tree!​

Once you have unlocked a skill you will be able to level some of them up as well, in order to provide you with a bigger boost. This will cost money and power points, unlocking the skill simply only will cost you Power Points. You can progress through the Skill Tree in a way you'd like, however, you can only unlock a Skill if it is connected to one that you have unlocked, how you will do that is up to you! Leveling up you skills will also increase the chance of the abilities activating.​

Here is a list of skills that you will able to unlock and level-up within the Skill Tree:​

Mob Spawners! Grind in your secret base.​

Another interesting thing we will be introducing at OpLifesteal is Mob Spawners. You can purchase these spawners from the /shop and you can place them anywhere you want.

​

Fast Paced! Dive straight into the action​

With OpLifesteal, we want to achieve something the name says, it's more overpowered, there's more action, and always something for you to do. Because of this, we have made some necessary changes to the core gameplay that you have seen at our normal Lifesteal server, and those changes are the following.​

​

Buffed economy​

The economy has been upscaled by a lot, with more money, faster ways of gaining money, and increased sell prices. With this new server shop, we want to give everyone a chance to head straight into the ongoing action and battles for hearts. The loot from your loot boxes has also been increased by a lot, to make the time spent on obtaining items to head in-to battle decreased.​

Better Player Level Rewards​

You will now earn so many more rewards from the Player Levels to make you even stronger in no time!​

Better Playtime Rewards​

We can not leave the free rewards behind, these have also been buffed a lot, the same way the player-level rewards have been. This also includes the AFK Lootcrate.​

...and all the Lifesteal features you know and love!​

It would not be called OpLifesteal if we didn't include all the features we have to offer at our earlier released Lifesteal server, but for those interested here is a short summary of features that you will be able to enjoy at OpLifesteal as well!​

Question and Answers​

​

Can everyone play Lifesteal?​

Yes, after the release everyone will be able to join Lifesteal through the server selector, simply open it up using the compass in our lobbies, or by typing /server and click the Golden Apple to join Lifesteal!​

All you need to do is to be version 1.16 or above, otherwise, you will not be able to play, as this gamemode is running on one of the latest Minecraft versions 1.18.​

​

Why OpLifesteal? Why not change Lifesteal itself?​

As we are running on the latest versions of Minecraft it is hard to keep up with the ever-lasting battle with server performance, Lifesteal is peaking at 200 players, which is the maximum amount of players we are able to hold on a single instance of a 1.19 server, because of this we need to make more servers in order to hold more players. Rather than copy-pasting Lifesteal and having 2 realms, we decided it's more exciting for players to have more choice in what they want to play, a slower more normal version of Lifesteal, or a more fast-phased action, like OpLifesteal. This way we can hold up to 400 players while also offering players the to choose their own playstyle!​

We hope to see you on our new OpLifesteal server soon!

If you have feedback or any suggestion, let us know we'd love to make this as good as we can.
Thanks​
