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


๐Ÿ“† New! Shorter Season
We have made an important change for this OPFactions season: it will be shortened to four weeks instead of the usual five weeks.
This adjustment is only for this specific map and is intended to align with our yearly reset schedule.
Because of the shorter season, there will be three payout times: one at the end of week 2, one at the end of week 3, and the final reward at the end of week 4.

๐Ÿ’ฐNew! Faction Bank Logs
To make it fair and clear for all faction members, we have added logs to the faction bank.
These logs will record every transaction made for all types of currencies in the faction bank, including deposits, withdrawals, and transfers.
This way, every member can easily see what has been added or taken out, ensuring there is no confusion or misunderstanding.



๐ŸŽญNew! Masks
We are excited to announce that 7 new masks will be added this season.
These new masks will offer a variety of special bonuses and abilities, giving players more options to customize their playstyle and strategy.
Each mask provides unique effects that can enhance your experience in different ways.
The following 7 masks have been added:

5% Chance to steal 2 hearts from your enemy
Permanent water breathing + 1 extra heart while in water
Chance to knockback your enemy

+5% Damage to enemies on KOTHs

๐Ÿ‘‘New! The Crown
We are introducing a new mask called the Crown.
๐Ÿ” A crown that holds multiple masks.
This mask is unique because it can hold up to 5 different masks at once. It has 2 slots unlocked by default, and the other 3 slots must be unlocked.
This will let players combine several mask abilities, giving more options and flexibility in the game.
๐Ÿ”ซNew! Loadout Shop

We are introducing the new LoadOut Shop, where players can purchase items using experience.
This shop will replace both the Transfer and Soulshop, meaning that Mob Coins and Souls have been removed entirely.
In the LoadOut Shop, you can find static items, which have a daily stock limit and can be bought with experience points. It is important to note that all items have a stock limit, especially those with limited uses. Here are some of the items available:

  • Mob Suits
  • Charged Throwable Creeper Egg
  • Charged Creeper Egg
  • Throwable Creeper Egg
  • Chunk Buster
  • Warzone Sword
  • Warzone Pickaxe
  • Sand Wand (20 uses)
  • Lightning Wand (20 uses)

๐ŸŽบNew! Points Booster
We are adding a new item booster, the Faction Point Booster.
This booster will multiply the faction points your faction earns for a set number of hours.
It can be found as a reward in Grace KOTH Loot and KOTH Loot.




๐Ÿ‘ป Updated! Spawner Economy

We have completely rebalanced the spawner economy this season.
All spawner prices have been updated, along with changes to the number of spawners you can get from spawner dice.
On top of that, the value of each spawner on the Factions Top has also been updated.
Additionally, we have adjusted the sell price for drops from spawners.
With this new economy, we hope to streamline the Faction Top competition more and ensure better and longer-term competition.
๐Ÿ“Œ Updated! Faction Points
The faction points competition has also received a major overhaul.
We have added new ways for factions to earn points, making the competition more engaging.
๐Ÿ‘Ž Lose your points.
Additionally, there is now a way for factions to lose points, when someone is raiding you.
You will lose the percentage of points based on the percentage in value you have lost during that raid, so if someone broke all your spawners during a raid, you will lose all of your points. These changes are designed to make the faction points system more dynamic and competitive.



๐Ÿพ Updated! Mobs Experience
We have made changes to the experience drops from spawner mobs.
All experience values have been rebalanced so that the better the spawner, the more experience you will earn.
This adjustment makes higher-tier spawners more rewarding, giving players a better incentive to upgrade their spawner setup.

๐Ÿฐ Updated! Outposts

We have updated the outpost system to make them more usable and rewarding.
Now, after capturing an outpost, it will enter a grace period for 15 minutes.
During this grace period, the capturing faction will have exclusive control, allowing them to benefit from the outpost's perks for at least 15 minutes before it can be contested again.
โŒ Removed! Mob Coins, Mob Heads & Souls

We want to inform you about some changes in OpFactions as we continue to shape the game for the future.
OpFactions is full of exciting features, but to streamline the experience and take the game in a new direction, we have decided to remove Mob Coins, Mob Heads, and Souls for now.
Whether these features will return depends on how the game evolves in the coming years.
Our goal is to keep improving OpFactions, and we believe these changes will help us focus on what makes the gamemode even better.


โš™๏ธ Fixed! Bugs
We did our best to polish and fix as many existing bugs inside the OpFactions server.
We have looked through all the bug reports and managed to fix them.
If you come across any bugs with the new release, make sure to report them at our forums under the bug reports section.
๐Ÿ“‘ Misc. Updates & Changes
Multiple small changes have been made, some of these small changes are the following:
  • Updated the once kits for all ranks.
  • Added boss eggs to the gold shop.
  • Updated the duel kit with more speed potions and spare sets.
  • Added /f ally list.
  • Updated rewards for seasonal crate.
  • Updated the anticheat.
  • Updated the rewards for hype boxes.
  • ...and much more.


โœ… What will I keep after the reset?
  • Purchased Ranks & Rank Upgrades
