OpFactions - PikaNetwork 2020
Friday September 18th 2020, 18:00 GMT / 14:00 EST / 13:00 CST / 12:00 MT / 11:00 PST
Greetings PikaCrafters,
We're back, and it's time for the new awaited OpFactions reset! We're excited to announce the launch of opFactions: a brand new Season, which will open its doors on Friday, September 18th, at 8:00 PM CET.
We have read through all your suggestions and ideas, and we did our best to consider a lot. Not everyone has the same thoughts/suggestions what we have to do with opfactions. We understand that there always will be people that will agree with a suggestion and disagree. We, however, did our best to implement as many suggestions as possible.
We saw a lot of suggestions for faction mcmmo changes, so we did those! The changes are listed below, if you still like to see it differently can you always react to this post.
mcmmo changes are however not the only thing! Cannoning improvements, a brand new anti-cheat, and much more is added! A full list of fixes and new features is below, so let's not make it any longer and go straight to the details since that's what people are interested in.
The release of the brand new OpFactions server is scheduled on Friday, September 18, 2020, we are expecting the release around 8 PM CET.
(We understand that Friday isn't the perfect day, but we are unable to do it Saturday, and we dont want to postpone it)

- Claims raid claims in a radius of 5, unclaimall command will unclaim all of them.
- You cannot unclaim single raid claims at a time, you can also only have 1 set of raid claims claimed at a time
- Sand buckets always work inside raid claims
- Removed client-side sync with TNT, meaning it will now look like that TNT is moving in water, but it's actually not. This will increase everyone's FPS, especially for larger cannons.
- Added raid claim information message
- Inside a raid claim there are no limits to tnt.
- UPDATED! Shop
- Added shortcuts such as /gb /gen for genbuckets
- Added shortcuts such as /pot /pots for potions shop.

- Made it possible to buy stacked mob/crop hoppers

- /f setbase
- Will mark your base of claims. this will be a 15x15 chunks area.
- Inside this base will spawners count into F-top, this is created to stop people from hiding value across 3 worlds
- UPDATED! Genbuckets
- You now only have to purchase one gen bucket, every time you place the genbukcet you get charged.
- UPDATED! All vouchers
We decided to redo all vouchers update them and make them more up to date, with little extras and changes. We also added some new vouchers and updated all plugins using/rewarding you with those vouchers, think of crates etc. We also decided to go with seasonal vouchers, those won vouchers will only be there for that one season, the seasonal vouchers have a lot higher chance to be won, but we will still have the lifetime vouchers!- Redid all vouchers
- Added animations
- New vouchers added
- Seasonal voucher
- Seasonal vouchers are easier to be obtained.
- Added /condense voucher
- Added /rename voucher
- NEW! Enchantment tier Legendary
This brand new tier is able to give you the max possible enchantment levels, for example, protection 16 or unbreaking 10 Sharpness 18. This is added to make it fairer, so everyone will be able to get those enchants. Are you lucky enough to get the right enchantment? And a good success rate? use /enchanter! - NEW! Anti Cheat
We have heard your feedback and frustrations about the current state of the AntiCheat at Opfactions, we are happy to announce an AntiCheat Improvement. We will run a new anti-cheat this new season of factions! - FIX! Ender pearls
- Enderpearls are now enabled in combat
- Changed the behavior of enderpearls
- UPDATED! Settings
- Added the settings to disable kill messages ( Updated version)
- You now can turn on or off KOTH messages
- UPDATED! Spawner upgrades
We decided to make some changes to our spawner upgrades, we added a total of 54 levels now instead of the 28 what it was before, our reason for doing this is that we noticed that opfactions its easier to get and receive spawners, due to this there are a lot more spawners in the server, this could and can be bad for the server performance.
We would like to give you the smoothest gameplay possible, so this change would hopefully improve the performance a little. - NEW! Kill Messages
Hunt down your opponents in style. Choose from a variety of unlockable kill messages. After unlocking a kill message you will also be able to change the primary and secondary color of it! (If you don't like the kill messages do you always have the option to disable them inside /settings!) - NEW! Faction logs
We made another feature called faction logs. Those logs are pleasantly showed inside a GUI. This GUI will show you a lot of information about your factions, those logs can all nicely be arranged. You are now able to get information about the following;- Who placed or broke a spawner (This also displays how much added or removed)
- Who promoted members on your factions and to what rank
- Who sold items, for example, who use who used a sell wand, etc.
- What faction actions are taken and by who, think of faction enemy, neutral kicked, etc.
- Itemrename rename, limited to 60 characters instead of 30
- Reduced the obsidian durability to 5
- Updated the worldborder command
- Redid the spawner gkit, everytime you claim it, the next week the spawners from the spawner-gkit will be doubled. To keep the gkit more interesting also later in the season.
- Changed the cannoning and fortified walls to 3 seconds.
- /wild will now work in all worlds and not only the overworld
- Buffed the TNT storage to 10 million
- Added kit names to all donater kits, instead of the boring plane set names.
- Updated the once kits of all donater kits, the rewards depend on your donator rank tier, Think of items such as mcmmo credits, shockwave tools, are added to the once kits.
- FIX! Buy price changes
We redid some economy parts, we mostly only changed the buy prices of certain items so its at least 3 times the price of the selling price.
This needed to be done, to have no dupes with boosters. By doing these changes are now able to enable boosters once again! - FIX! Cannoning
We made changes to our cannoning jar and improved alot of things, we already had people testing it out for us, and its alot better already!- East/West patching
- Less client lag for larger cannons
- Added TNT sound back again
- Fixed cannon performance by compressing TNT
- Fixed server TPS drops when shooting with multiple cannons at once
- All donater kits have depth strider added on the boots.
- /nick is now disabled while being muted
- Chatfilter will only be enabled on the main chat and no longer on faction chats
- UPDATED! Mcmmo Changes
We heard you and we have edited and changed the mcmmo max levels, we decided to not lower all mcmmo level caps but only the pvp related ones such as swords & axes
Mining - Max level 9000
Woodcutting - Max level 9000

- Improved knockback packet handling for better accuracy
- Disabled natural mob spawning
- You can now see the armor of a person with .invsee
- Updated the announcements they are now clickable and hoverable
- We limited the amount of TNT placed next to each other within an area, this needed to be implemented to stop people from placing a lot of TNT within a area and trying to lag the server with it.
- Made trading possible between all worlds, this means you no longer need to be in the same world.
- Improved and implemented our new anti-free cam/phase plugin.
- Added /stats command

Q: What will be kept after the reset?

A: Opfactions just needed a reset, it wasn't updated for months. So to make opfactions working again was a reset required. So here it is a fresh new reset with updates!
This means all claims, items, money and the map will be reset. Nothing will be kept leftover from the previous map. Of course, all purchases will be reissued so nobody will be out of pocket in that regard. I know this must be a disappointing revelation for a lot of you, but think about the exciting new changes, the new alliances you can forge, the new map, the new features, and updates the different kind of gameplay and style being provided with this update will surely make it a worth-while and exciting reset!
