OP FACTIONS C2 SEASON 5

Hello everyone, we are back again for another season of OP Factions on ECPE Network. For this season, we wanted to introduce some more nether content, as well as make changes to how the Outpost plays into factions gaining and competing for STR.

This is the first patch of the season. I will continue to post patches throughout the season introducing meta shifts when it comes to grinding, as well as putting other Kits into the PvP Meta with adjustments and changes. Thank you everyone for your continued support and suggestions for how we can improve the server. I hope you guys like the changes we made.
