Oct 1, 2017 Ranked Skywars - Season 19 Changes

Hello, Skywars Community. Over the past couple months, we've spent a lot of time looking at the Ranked Skywars experience and the modes competitive integrity. We've made the following changes:

1) Removed kit upgrades and gave all players maxed kits (Full refund coming next week).

2) All perks now unlocked and maxed for everyone, combo perk removed (Full refund has been completed).

A competitive format should not force players into buying an expensive kit/perk in order to have a good shot at winning. This change will even the playing field for all players, and allow the meta to progress based on strong kits and their counters.

3) Loot balancing - Each island now guaranteed the same gear. This means no more inequalities where some islands get better healing/speed potions/projectiles than others.

This will ensure all players begin fighting on an equal playing field uninfluenced by randomness.

4) Assist system implemented - on kill perks will also be given if a player has dealt more than 50% of the damage to a player who has been killed.

This change should help counter the "cleanup" fighting style many players utilize.

5) Loot refills in outer islands changed to default island loot instead of mid loot.

Playing the outer islands has become a very tedious strategy at higher ratings. This will make it so that players wont be rewarded as heavily for staying on their spawn islands late into the game.

6) Mobs removed from chests

Mobs rewarded players based on luck rather than skill, for a competitive game mode this did not work.

These changes were based on previous proposal threads which can be found here and here.

We appreciate your patience and support as we continue to improve the ranked system and please continue to leave your feedback in the replies below. Best of luck in season 19!

Sep 28, 2017 An Update on Hypixel Pocket Edition Server

Some of our veteran players may remember that we used to have a PE server. Despite a promising launch which managed to get 6mil registered accounts and 20k peak user in just a few months we unfortunately closed the Pocket Edition Alpha around March last year.

Hypixel said:

It was a really tough decision for us at the time, especially since we had spent several hundreds of thousands of dollars on development and hosting - We even had a mobile app ready to go that worked specifically with the pocket edition server and included features like a Store and VIP. As a platform for many reasons at that time - it just wasn't ready for us to commit to it. (No Transfer Packet, Codebase changing a lot, no open source communitites etc, etc list goes on)

So rather than accepting money from users for something we didn't feel was high enough quality - we cancelled the Alpha. We think that was the right call in hindsight- even if it hurt cost wise.

Click to expand...

With the recent launch of servers on the 'Bedrock' edition of Minecraft (The Win10/XboxOne and Mobile version) we've been getting a lot of people asking when Hypixel would return to 'Bedrock' since we stated in our announcement post "the servers will return in 2017 when we resume the Hypixel Pocket Edition."

The update on that is that we currently have no plans to... or any timeframe to resume any work on a Pocket/Bedrock edition version of Hypixel. Nor has any work since the closing of the Alpha taken place.

There should be no expectation of a 'Bedrock' edition server coming in 2017. Read on to find out more details about this decision.
