Official Factions Suggestion Thread

I know many people will disagree, but I think AEM factions needs a reset again, but this time things need to be changed around because the way factions is going right now is obviously not okay.
-Bring back mines for donors? This encouraged a lot of donations and made it easier for lower-end donors to get good items.
-Let default ranks have a chance- All defaults can get is their protection 1 iron kit, which they only get every 5 days. Ways to get better stuff is from raiding donators, mining, and pvp. Raiding barely happens, because there are few players and a massive 40k x 40k world. Mining will not get you protection 4 armor and OP tools like in the overlord kit. Lastly, you cannot even get anything in pvp unless you have gear to begin with.
-Shrink the world size- 40k x 40k is way too huge. Raids are near impossible to find. You could make an unclaimed house on the surface and it wouldn't get raided for probably a year.
-Fly- Add back /fly for donators. It encouraged donations which help the server grow. Just don't let /fly be used in certain areas.
-Lastly, NERF THE DAMN KITS!!! Its bad enough that us overlords get protection 4 unbreaking 2, plus we get a god kit, legend kit, titan, etc. Prot 4 armor is supposed to be hard to get in minecraft.

 

Yes

 

Factions is awesome. However I think the /warp arena should be smaller. Also we need staff there all the time, why? The tone there is horrible. Please make a 1v1 arena!

 

Agreed pvp arena is far too big for the amount of players that we have on, and staff is needed so bad! But who? There is no one really deserving of staff on factions????

 

Vipeh

 

Or you could find quality members that actually benefit from being in your faction. Or you could just buy power boosts, pretty much the same just not huge factions.

 

Yea personally I don't play factions on AEM, so I don't know much about it. This is just a suggestion from things I have seen on other servers

 

how about adding shops to factions. Ive done some server surfing and have seen this a few times on multiple factions servers. incorporated with this idea would be the ability to set warps so players can warp to each others shops. The shops would also have to be protected somehow to avoid griefing. While this idea does sound like a bit much, especially for a free for all violent server like factions; i do think it would help build up the factions market and also bring in some new plaers who are looking oe these options in factions.

I was also thinking about a weekly or monthly factions battle. Each faction can sign up and assign a certain amount of players to fight in a set arena. The last faction standing wins and the second and third runners up can receive prizes as well. This will encourage more pvping and also encourage greater numbers per faction.

Both these ideas are open for a lot of change and suggestion so please dont hold back on the constructive criticism and comments. Thank you.

 

I was thinking about the issue with players wanting the old spawn back and i had yet another idea. Why not set up a contest where players are given certain perameters for creating new factions spawn. Once all the entries are in, allow us players to judge the entries and choose the one we think looks best and works best. you could even stick the old warp in the roster and allow us to judge the new along with the old... just a thought.

 

I feel we need away to attract EU players as when I come on at EU times it is a ghost town but if I come on in US time there always seems to be 50+ players

 

Thats a good point. I come on at all times and do notice that it becomes very dead later in my day.

 

Maybe not pl

maybe not players but faction power?

 

1.7 Plox

 

So you can use your hax? k

 

actually as i have noticed the 1.7 pvp is a lot better than that of 1.8 so it is better for pvpers to have 1.7 than it is for them to have 1.8 where pvp is much worse

 

Yea dude lemme turn on my SkillAura for 1.7.10

 

1.9 or w/e is supposedly suppose to be a "Combat Update" watch it make combat 10x worse -w-. RIP combat.

 

That is true. If you knock someone upwards, they can't hit you. From there, all you do is constantly hit them up to kill

 

I think the prices in the shop at spawn should be fixed, price wise. I believe the prices are pretty expensive and should be lowered be a good amount.

I'm not quite sure if you already can, but letting players build and run their own shops that players can visit in the world.
