Already this thread has taken a negative turn, I'm going to put it out there that HCF is now a really controversial gamemode with a lot of opinions but really I'm not here for the debate or to be told we're going to fail, It's something I want to try and I feel like if HCF is going back to how it was. This is the time to try it.

Hello lads,

I'm the owner of an HCF server, yes, I know. The dying game mode, the game mode that people don't like because it is OP. The game mode that kids think they can bring back by copying Kohi.

Well, here I am doing the last idea. Velt has tried making minor changes to their servers in an attempt to revive HCF, it's not good enough.

The aim of my server is to make HCF fun and hardcore again. I've seen people try to do hardcore and fail, okay. I know the odds are heavily against me but if people want HCF changed, then someone has to try.

Here's what we've done so far.

- 60 second combat tag
- 24 hour gapple cooldown
- Heavily reduced XP boost
- No Gkit bullshit
- No purchasable crates
- 12 hour deathbans (Min 6 hour with the top rank)
- 20 Min PVPTimer
- 20 min SOTW timer
- Class warmup has been added back
- Lives are rare again
- No Donor revive
- 20 man [Powers]
- Ore spawn and miner class nerfed
- Only allowed traps are fallers and string
- Emerald currency (?)
- Harsh on punishments // Unbans rarely in store
- No 90% bullshit, If we have a sale, its real.

We understand cheating is an issue, we're not MineHQ and we definitely don't have the budget to remake a CheatBreaker however we're doing all we can to prevent cheating. We've purchased what we feel is the best anti-cheat on the market in an attempt to destroy thots and cheaters.

I understand we've given all our ideas away, that's fine. If other Owners see this, they can do the same and we can eventually bring back the Hardcore in HCF.

Here's a snippet of our trailer: Beautiful and made by Danny Q. xxx

What I'm here for today are ideas.

What we need is ideas that people want to see in HCF, ways to make our server more Hardcore, new events people will want to play, ways to make the server fun and importantly youtubers that we can advertise with that will reach out to hardcore players, YouTubers who want HCF back how it is. I've got a few people in mind already but I'd love to hear what others say.

Didn't Debff have a horrible reputation in the community?

I'm not sure if I'm being honest with you, I wasn't involved with it the first time around. Anything that happened last time is I promise that it won't happen this time, it's under my running now and I'm willing to put my reputation on it.

If you have any information on what happened last time, I'd really appreciate if you dm'd me about it.

Great ready to lose all your money.

Yeah, I understand that HCF isn't exactly thriving, especially being fully Hardcore, however, HCF is something that a lot of the community want back, I feel that if we advertise it correctly with the correct people, we have a chance of gathering a proper community.[DOUBLEPOST=1525883269][/DOUBLEPOST]

Honestly, then I'm not sure of what happened, thanks for informing me either way.

I mean a lot of people aren't going to want to put the effort into the server, if its just going to die the day after sotw.

I definitely agree with the first part, however, this is why I want to find the right youtubers. If we find the right youtubers who are personally behind our attempt in HCF, then they can do the same with their fan base.

I kinda feel bad you wasting money on a server that will die. Any new hcf sever will die instantly as everyone is already playing velt. Gl tho

We realise the risk and we're willing to take it. Regarding Velt we're completely different, Our HCF is a completely different type to theirs so it's really up to the players themselves. If they want to play an easy version of HCF then they can play Velt, there are definitely people who want the community back and Debuff is for those people.

Without trying to compare us to a server with the scale of MineHQ, MineHQ plan to come back and its the same concept as saying MineHQ won't get players because they're not like Velt, it's really the opposite, MineHQ will get players because they're the opposite of velt, aka what the OG players want.

Add some dope and unique builds not the same layout like everyone else does. Try making it different.

There are some good ideas out there that can be done but however as already stated above. 90% of the planet is already playing other big servers HCF and they are more enjoyable because of the number of players on the servers.

Now you can target big nice and the perfect Youtubers for the job but you will also need more than that.
You will need to get a player base standing before that. For the Youtubers to have something to record, and you will need a player base for the Youtubers to record with for the other player bases out there when they see the video they will see your player base and won't have any problem.

+ Try not to make it only Hardcore again, there so much more than that and so many ideas that you can do to prove that you can do better to the world and get people more interested in what you are doing.

Anyways, GL.
I hope you will think this through to decide what is the right thing to do.
