If you do not agree with something stated, then post so in the comments without being a child. I do not want to see some clown posting “lol idiot gtfo”.
I have been holding in these thoughts and am venting them here.
Personal Introduction
Salutations,
Some of you may know me, some may not, it is irrelevant.
Just know that I’ve been within the Minecraft community since 2011 (Survival), PvP since 2012 (MCPvP), and HCF since 2014 (Shotbow).
Current activities include developing a network, studying for premed biology at university, and interning for the medical school resume in 3 years.
HCF Introduction (Overly Simplified)
To commence, let us begin with what hardcore factions used to be.
To keep this post simplistic, the game mode began on Shotbow, and blew up once stimpy made videos on the server.
The game mode used to take copious levels of effort and patience and all of which could be taken away by a single death and a 12 hour death ban. Classic.
This morphed into Kohi by Prplz and HCTeams by ItsJhalt.
These two servers added lives, reduced deathbans, fun capture events, constant developments, and so forth. They made the game mode more widely playable.
After these two fizzled away, it morphed into Faithful, Velt, & Viper/Hydra (Partially).
Issues With Kohi (Nostalgia Effect)
Kohi, the server to pull at people’s heart strings.
Every two seconds it is referenced in comparison to HCF today.
Most users seem to state that Kohi was the be all and end all of HCF. Apparently Kohi was the greatest server to have ever existed to some. Why?
Kohi has become this weirdly over-glorified behemoth due to a simple reason - Nostalgia.
People want HCF to be hardcore again, or at least not P2W, so badly that this network has all of the sudden become blown up into what is now considered by people to be the end all of hardcore networks.
Kohi was quite enjoyable however for them to be this widely praised is an over stretch. Especially when most of the people asking for it back did not even play it, and if you didn’t then let me clue you in, it is Velt without the P2W and less features.
The same issue occurs on anything from the past.
View a song from the 90’s, 40% of the comments will be stating “I miss this decade, what a marvelous time, I wish it would come back”.
You need to really think about Kohi for those who played it, was it really that good where it deserves to be praised to this extent?
Prplz closed the server because he couldn’t “handle the toxic community and cheaters”. He just gave up and quit.
That is pathetic to do when you have thousands of active users daily.
Prplz, you partially contributed to the rise of P2W servers by leaving a large market share of the community stranded and that is an unfortunate truth.
Prplz, your server was remarkably well made, your staff were helpful, and you interacted with the community frequently, however we both know it is overly praised.
Issues With Velt (Main Reason For Making Thread)
There is not much to say here that hasn’t been said but I’ll keep it short and sweet.
This server only became “the leader in HCF” out of sheer luck.
Once Kohi closed, Hydra was on the slopes, & MineHQ was on temporary shutdown, Velt and Faithful were the only two to really be standing left in the genre.
This is the only reason for Velts ability to become the number one HCF server, a community by the way which they ultimately wiped off half of. Congratulations.
Velt has this arrogance where they actually believe to be the best thing to happen to HCF since Shotbow. Just read through Suliums tweets and you’ll see.
While Velt sits there tweeting as if they’re the victim, and muddles in their own odor of self righteous entitlement, let me demonstrate some of the many reasons why they and Faithful helped to remove half of the player base.
Velt and Faithful ruined the genre for the following reasons:
- Full kit crate times.
- Abundance of lives for price in the low dollars.
- Reduced deathbans down to single digit minutes.
- Shady business tactics.
- Manipulation (Stealing and manipulating the YouTube personalities from Ikari when they were a threat by lying about their release and beta. - From Alex.)
- Making the game mode corporate.
- Employing a joke of a staff team.
- Ripping off people who work for them - personally seen when on the Faithful staff team.
- Not pushing updates to the game mode and instead just keeping something simple even though you make ~ $30k-$200k a month.
- Selling staff ranks.
- Demoting staff because they banned a partner who was cheating.
- Removing players ranks and telling them their payment hadn’t gone through so they’d maybe purchase it twice.
- Do I have to keep going?
In addition, you two pulled some slithery manipulation with the Jhalt scandal.
Was he a degenerate? No question. However, you two couldn’t wait to get your grubby hands all over the train to trash on MineHQ.
I found it quite humorous that you two degenerates, who are guilty of most likely everything he did except the pedophilia, teamed up and began this campaign to end MineHQ, your biggest competition which should have ended your gross hold on HCF.
You two made constant comments about “why do people still support this guy”, desperately trying to break MineHQ so your networks would not end. Making threads and tweets on how to remove CB and how you’ll make a better client. You play this gross game of trying to put yourselves in the lime light while ruining another network, hoping people will forget about how many black shadow things you guys have done.
You call yourselves HCF even though a simple look on your stores say otherwise.
Neither of you deserve the heights you have reached and both of your networks will hopefully crash once and for all.
Issues With Crates & Lives
Believe it or not, you can have HCF with these two.
They existed on Hydra and that server was still HCF and they exist on Vipers “true HCF” server.
“Pay 2 Win” can be classified on any server as if you buy a rank, you receive a queue skip, which means you are paying for a boosting feature that other players do not have. This is something that just about every server does.
As a result, I classify “P2W” with what you put in the crates, the prices of the crates and lives, and the quantities of them.
If you want crates and lives, you can have them, just limit their items so they are not giving too unfair of an advantage.
See FMC, Velt, Arcane, and most new HCF servers for what not to do.
Arrogant Media Personalities
This is an issue not only in HCF but with all servers.
There seems to be an epidemic of YouTubers who charge prices which are inflated to what they are actually worth. EX: 3 HCF YouTubers were contacted by a friend of mine with 15k-30k subs but only receiving 1k-3k views and 30-70 likes. These economists wanted $130-$175 per video, a price which warrants views of 10k+. When my friend had given them an offer which had been inflated as well, $70 for a 1 minute 30 second video, he was told that offer was “insulting”.
$70 for a video which would have taken them maybe 15 minutes to create and upload was insulting.
The reason for this is due to the bloated payments that a network owner once gave them. As a result, they believe this is the baseline to their payments.
Just remember the general rule of thumb is $10-$20 per 1k views.

Those are my gripes with the current community.
