The KitPvP server is approaching the conclusion of it’s 6 month reset cycle which means we are nearing the bi-annual full KitPvP reset.
This thread will cover some of the major additions and changes for this reset, as well as address some questions for those of you who are not familiar with the concept of "full server resets" already.
When will the server be reset?
We plan on resetting the server on Saturday, November 28th @ 3 PM EST, however the server will be whitelisted starting Thursday, November 26th @ 5 PM EST. The reason we whitelist for such a long period of time before fully re-opening the server is because we need time to properly move over new content & changes, as well as to verify everything is fully functioning and in working order before launching the server.
All of the above will be reset on the date specified. We do these biannual resets to take items, balance, statistics out of the cycle; this refreshes the server and creates a more even playing field for all players to start the season. This also gives us an opportunity to implement new content to the gamemode to progress and enhance player experience.
Clans
Taking one of your most popular suggestions into consideration, we are introducing an organized clan system to KitPvP. This will add an exciting new team dynamic to the gameplay this season, as players will now be able to create clans with their friends and peers to fight against other clans and complete for the clan leaderboards.
Some key features of clans that deserve to be stated are:
Alliances between clans
Clan Upgrades (Money multipliers etc.)
Separate chat channels for both clan members & allies
On top of the existing solo leaderboards for kills, KDR, killstreak and deaths, there will be a separate set of leaderboards (/clans top) for cumulative clan kills, KDR and deaths.
For the time being, only those with MVP rank and above may create clans however everyone has access to all the other features clans have to offer such as general usage & moderation of clans.
Top Killer Rewards
We are pleased to announce that Tebex payouts for monthly top 5 leaderboards players will be making a return this season. This has been in high demand for quite some time, and we hope that our competitive players are satisfied with the return of these rewards.
The payouts will be awarded to the top 5 killers each month with the following values:
1st - $100
2nd - $80
3rd - $60
4th - $40
5th - $20
Leveling & Achievements
XP & leveling have been a part of our KitPvP server for a long time, but we are completely revamping this system to include prestige ranks and achievements to reward players for the time and effort they put in.
Prestige is earned each time you reach level 100, at which point you can exchange your 100 levels for prestige. Prestige allows players to earn more money per kill (+0.5x/prestige) and displays a special prestige icon next to the player’s name. Other prestige benefits will be added shortly, providing an opportunity for players to earn access to exclusive perks without the need for a rank.
Achievements are completed based on the respective tasks necessary for each of them. This will give a sense of direction for players who are looking for things to do rather than the traditional "go down and fight" approach.
Map
We have heard your ideas for improving the spawn PvP map loud and clear and we are very excited to release an all new “4 Seasons” map for this reset. This map is the culmination of many player suggestions and will provide an enjoyable playing experience, regardless of your play style.
Open areas offer the perfect landscape for intense clan vs clan fights, buildings, structures and obstacles provide an opportunity to play strategically, and different seasons with their own terrain and build style give each fight an entirely different dynamic depending on your location in the map. The underground caverns were a popular addition to this past season’s map; these have been retained whilst also entirely eliminating water and holes.
As with seasons past, we are open to any suggestions & critiques regarding the map as we strive to provide you with the best PvP experience possible.
Future Plans
We plan on giving KitPvP updates throughout it's cycle before another full reset; we have received numerous suggestions on the forums regarding content & gameplay updates that are currently being worked on and will be implemented throughout the season. Some of these updates include:
New events on top of a general rework of events
Party duels
Integration of new potion effects
New Prestige perks (exclusive kits & more)
We will also look into making any changes to the existing gameplay if necessary. (i.e. tweaking the clans or prestige system if needed, adjusting events to make them run more efficiently, etc.)
Additional Changes
While the changes detailed in this thread are the most significant additions to the upcoming KitPvP reset, there are several smaller changes that we think players will really enjoy. These include, but are not limited to:
Sumo duels
Duel spectating (/duel spectate <player>)
Event map rotations (retro maps are being reintroduced to add variety to each event)
All new, more efficient chat reaction system
Reintroduction of the Elite kit for all players
Please note that not everything changed or added was stated in this thread with full details.
Mute Reset
Alongside the KitPvP server reset, we will be resetting all player’s past mute histories, allowing everyone to start this season from a clean slate. The mute reset is server-wide, so even if you aren’t a KitPvP player, your mutes will be reset. This allows players who have matured since being permanently muted another chance to start fresh and communicate with other players in chat and DMs. Please note that having your mute history reset is not an excuse to violate the Communication Rules. This opportunity is never guaranteed and should not be taken for granted.
It is highly recommended that you refer to the Communication section of our Network Rules prior to the reset to familiarize yourself with the chat rules and avoid being punished for chat violations. (Network Rules Thread)
Conclusion
This KitPvP reset is one of the most feature-rich and significant updates in the server’s history, with additions designed to add a whole new dynamic to the gameplay while still retaining a sense of familiarity and the things players enjoy most about the gamemode. We are always aiming to refresh and improve the playing experience for newer and older players, and this reset is a strong representation of that ambition.

As with seasons past, we are open to any suggestions & critiques regarding the map as we strive to provide you with the best PvP experience possible.
Future Plans
We plan on giving KitPvP updates throughout it's cycle before another full reset; we have received numerous suggestions on the forums regarding content & gameplay updates that are currently being worked on and will be implemented throughout the season. Some of these updates include:
New events on top of a general rework of events
Party duels
Integration of new potion effects
New Prestige perks (exclusive kits & more)
We will also look into making any changes to the existing gameplay if necessary. (i.e. tweaking the clans or prestige system if needed, adjusting events to make them run more efficiently, etc.)
Additional Changes
While the changes detailed in this thread are the most significant additions to the upcoming KitPvP reset, there are several smaller changes that we think players will really enjoy. These include, but are not limited to:
Sumo duels
Duel spectating (/duel spectate <player>)
Event map rotations (retro maps are being reintroduced to add variety to each event)
All new, more efficient chat reaction system
Reintroduction of the Elite kit for all players
Please note that not everything changed or added was stated in this thread with full details.
Mute Reset
Alongside the KitPvP server reset, we will be resetting all player’s past mute histories, allowing everyone to start this season from a clean slate. The mute reset is server-wide, so even if you aren’t a KitPvP player, your mutes will be reset. This allows players who have matured since being permanently muted another chance to start fresh and communicate with other players in chat and DMs. Please note that having your mute history reset is not an excuse to violate the Communication Rules. This opportunity is never guaranteed and should not be taken for granted.
It is highly recommended that you refer to the Communication section of our Network Rules prior to the reset to familiarize yourself with the chat rules and avoid being punished for chat violations. (Network Rules Thread)
Conclusion
This KitPvP reset is one of the most feature-rich and significant updates in the server’s history, with additions designed to add a whole new dynamic to the gameplay while still retaining a sense of familiarity and the things players enjoy most about the gamemode. We are always aiming to refresh and improve the playing experience for newer and older players, and this reset is a strong representation of that ambition.
A massive thank you to @kvids for writing this post.
The KitPvP server is approaching the conclusion of it’s 6 month reset cycle which means we are nearing the bi-annual full KitPvP reset.
This thread will cover some of the major additions and changes for this reset, as well as address some questions for those of you who are not familiar with the concept of "full server resets" already.
When will the server be reset?
We plan on resetting the server on Saturday, November 28th @ 3 PM EST, however the server will be whitelisted starting Thursday, November 26th @ 5 PM EST. The reason we whitelist for such a long period of time before fully re-opening the server is because we need time to properly move over new content & changes, as well as to verify everything is fully functioning and in working order before launching the server.
All of the above will be reset on the date specified. We do these biannual resets to take items, balance, statistics out of the cycle; this refreshes the server and creates a more even playing field for all players to start the season. This also gives us an opportunity to implement new content to the gamemode to progress and enhance player experience.
Clans
Taking one of your most popular suggestions into consideration, we are introducing an organized clan system to KitPvP. This will add an exciting new team dynamic to the gameplay this season, as players will now be able to create clans with their friends and peers to fight against other clans and complete for the clan leaderboards.
Some key features of clans that deserve to be stated are:
Alliances between clans
Clan Upgrades (Money multipliers etc.)
Separate chat channels for both clan members & allies
On top of the existing solo leaderboards for kills, KDR, killstreak and deaths, there will be a separate set of leaderboards (/clans top) for cumulative clan kills, KDR and deaths.
For the time being, only those with MVP rank and above may create clans however everyone has access to all the other features clans have to offer such as general usage & moderation of clans.
Top Killer Rewards
We are pleased to announce that Tebex payouts for monthly top 5 leaderboards players will be making a return this season. This has been in high demand for quite some time, and we hope that our competitive players are satisfied with the return of these rewards.
The payouts will be awarded to the top 5 killers each month with the following values:
1st - $100
2nd - $80
3rd - $60
4th - $40
5th - $20
Leveling & Achievements
XP & leveling have been a part of our KitPvP server for a long time, but we are completely revamping this system to include prestige ranks and achievements to reward players for the time and effort they put in.
Prestige is earned each time you reach level 100, at which point you can exchange your 100 levels for prestige. Prestige allows players to earn more money per kill (+0.5x/prestige) and displays a special prestige icon next to the player’s name. Other prestige benefits will be added shortly, providing an opportunity for players to earn access to exclusive perks without the need for a rank.
Achievements are completed based on the respective tasks necessary for each of them. This will give a sense of direction for players who are looking for things to do rather than the traditional "go down and fight" approach.
Map
We have heard your ideas for improving the spawn PvP map loud and clear and we are very excited to release an all new “4 Seasons” map for this reset. This map is the culmination of many player suggestions and will provide an enjoyable playing experience, regardless of your play style.
Open areas offer the perfect landscape for intense clan vs clan fights, buildings, structures and obstacles provide an opportunity to play strategically, and different seasons with their own terrain and build style give each fight an entirely different dynamic depending on your location in the map.
