Changelog​

​

The most important features/modifications implemented towards this season's map and functions are the following.​

​

​

New! Spawn​

A new OpFactions season means a brand-new spawn to kick off the new season, and this season brings a fresh theme once again.​

​

A Spawn and Warzone with an Desert theme.​

Capture the outpost for some extra rewards.​

Are you looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features.​

A new seasonal crate has been added again.​

​

​

Updated! Worlds​

We will reducing the amount of worlds that are available for this season at OpFactions, instead of 4 worlds, we will now only have 2 worlds, meaning less corners, less places to build a base, and therefore we hope to have a bigger competition now that we are bringing back the attention to raiding again, instead of points.​

There will be a total of 8 corners, these being the following:​

Overworld​	The End​
To enter this world head to /spawn.	To enter this world head to /warp end.
The border will be 10,000 x 10,000 (5,000 to -5,000)	The border will be 10,000 x 10,000 (5,000 to -5,000)

There are 2 KOTHs, located in the warzone.	There is 1 KOTH near the world spawn.
There are 4 Outposts, located in the warzone.

​

New! Gamemode Overhaul​

​

This season, we want to streamline your experience on OpFactions and have made several big changes to accomplish this.​

Our goal is to bring back the core of the gamemode, making it more accessible, balanced, and competitive while removing features that made gameplay feel too complex or limiting.​

​

​

New! Anti Cheat​

A new AntiCheat is finally coming to OpFactions to tackle cheaters in PvP.​

We have tested and refined the previous AntiCheat to ensure it works properly without causing crashes, lagbacks, or false flags. This will create a fairer and more competitive experience for all players.​

Updated! Spawn Layout​

A brand-new spawn and warzone have been introduced, designed to make everything more compact and accessible.​

All key features are now in one easy-to-navigate area, making it easier for both new and returning players to find everything they need.​

​

Removed! Faction Points​

We have listened to your feedback and decided to remove Faction Points for now.​

This means Faction Top will once again focus on spawners and raiding, bringing back the classic competitive experience. Faction Points may return in a new form in the future, but for now, we’re keeping it simple.​

​

Removed! Battle Pass​

The Battle Pass is taking a break this season, as we work on a new and improved version.​

We want to refine the system to make it more rewarding and engaging, so expect it to return in a future season with fresh challenges and better progression.​

​

Removed! Funds & Combiner​

To streamline gameplay and make things more accessible, we have removed the Fund and Combiner systems.​

These features ended up making good items too rare, causing them to be underused due to the fear of losing them. With their removal, progression is now more straightforward, ensuring that valuable items can be used without hesitation.​

​

​

New! Special Sets​

​

We are simplifying the way sets work! ​

​

From now on, sets will no longer have different rarities.​

Instead, every time you obtain a set, its boosts will have a random value and/or chance assigned to them.​

​

This means that no two sets will be exactly the same—sometimes you might get a stronger version with better effects, while other times it may be slightly weaker than a previous one.​

​

Upgrade your set with upgrade tokens.​

We have added special tokens that you can use to enhance your sets, these tokens have a limit of how many can be applied, so choose wise which token to apply, because once applied, you will not be able to take them off.​

​

​

​

New! Special Weapons​

​

All special weapons, including swords, bows, and axes, will now be non-rarity weapons, simplifying the system while keeping them powerful.​

Each weapon will now have the same effects as their current epic version, ensuring that all players get balanced and strong weapons.​

​

Simply said, before you had a common, rare, epic & legendary version of these weapons, and with this new upcoming reset, you will just have the sword, giving the same boosts always, no longer you will need to upgrade your swords using the combiner, as this has been removed as a whole.​

​

​

​

New! Salvager​

​

Introducing the Salvager, a new feature that allows you to sell sets, weapons, pets, or masks for EXP!​

This makes it easier to get value from extra or unwanted items while boosting your experience gains.​

​

How does it work?​

1. Access the Salvager from inside an anvil.
2. Select the item you want to salvage.
3. Receive EXP in return based on the item's power.

​

Turn your unused gear into EXP and power up faster than ever!​

​

Updated! Dungeons​

Dungeons have been updated to streamline the experience while keeping the challenge exciting. ​

We will continue with three dungeons for now, with the possibility of adding a fourth in the future.​

​

Dungeon Locations​

In the warzone, three portals are now positioned near the arena entrances, leading to different dungeons. ​

Each dungeon requires a fee to enter and has a cooldown period before you can attempt it again:​

Dungeon 1: 24-hour cooldown (1 day)​

Dungeon 2: 48-hour cooldown (2 days)​

Dungeon 3: 96-hour cooldown (4 days)​

​

​

Dungeon Enter Costs​

Since we have removed the Battle Pass, it's now required that you will pay a set amount of Boss Tokens in order to enter a dungeon, you can only start a dungeon when you have enough Boss Tokens to start it, this is a replacement requirement for a battlepass level requirement.​

​

​

Dungeon Cooldown Skips​

If you don’t want to wait for the cooldown to expire, you can skip it by purchasing a Dungeon Key, allowing you to re-enter instantly.​

​

All players inside the dungeon will now also receive the reward, previously the rewards weren't giving to all players, and only the top damagers from the final boss, this has now been changed to every player in the dungeon, so teamwork inside the dungeons will now work properly.​

​

​

Updated! Arenas​

​

The Arena Challenge System has been reworked to provide a more structured and competitive experience. ​

The system will now include 8 arenas, each with unique mobs, spawn mechanics, and kill requirements to progress.​

​

Arena Layout & Mobs​

Each arena is 50x50x25 in size and contains between 2 to 4 unique mobs. The mob types will remain the same as before, however they will now drop Arena Tokens depending on the difficulty of the arena, these tokens can be spent in the Arena Shop to purchase brand new equipment for your loadouts.​

​

Mob Spawns​

Each arena will have 35 mob spawners, ensuring a consistent challenge. ​

Spawners operate on a timer-based system, so the exact number of mobs at any time may vary.​

​

Kill Requirements to Progress​

Each arena has a set number of kills required before unlocking the next one:​

• Cave 1: 250 kills
• Cave 2: 500 kills
• Cave 3: 1,000 kills
• Cave 4: 1,500 kills
• Cave 5: 2,500 kills
• Cave 6: 5,000 kills
• Cave 7: 10,000 kills
• Cave 8: Unlimited kills

​

​

Updated! Pets​

​

All pets will now be non-rarity pets, simplifying the system and making them easier to use.​

Every pet will now have the same effects as their current rare version, ensuring balance while keeping them powerful.​

​

Additionally, pets will no longer have levels, meaning their effects will always have the same strength, and no longer depends on the level of a pet.​

​
