more pvp events

[finb]

ooo i have a few ideas!

1.If you can, re-add elite mobs to sw. I really liked that plugin and was pretty sad when I found out it was taken away

2.Make a staff/server ran spawner that has more mob spawners (magma cubes, creepers, etc.). Many mob drops are harder to get than others, I think it would be nice for them to be easier to get

3.I dont know if you already do this, but pay the evh for event prizes. More people would play events if the prizes were over 25k I feel, so maybe if you gave them an allowance it would be easier to get players to play the events

Those are just some of my thoughts, ill probably add more lol

more pvp events

Can you elaborate on this please? Do you mean more plugins like /murder or do you mean more EventHost hosted, built events in world 3?

Can you elaborate on this please? Do you mean more plugins like /murder or do you mean more EventHost hosted, built events in world 3?

Actual pvp events /murder is not pvp - im meaning like TDM,CTF, Free for all, and maybe some pvp arenas for people to practice like on the faction server how @evan had the duel plugin i feel how the game is spose to be survival there is lack of player on player game modes, we have the builds for pvp game modes in /w3 and would be nice to have some fresh ones ( as the ones that are there now have been used for theses type of plugins)

As you are probs thinking people are going cause drama if they loose there stuff during a pvp event thats why we use to have kits already done for it like how in Mob area they have kits already and you dont loose anything! we use to have a team death match plugin that was free to join at any time like how /murder is but not sure what happend to it! And maybe add the guns version of them game modes and maybe not and keep it Minecraft style and keep it with a sword armor and a bow and separate them in to different classes and could make more kits like healer for the attacking people ect (Just a example of types of kits)

Id be happy to work on ideas for new areas for pvp events i dont mind giving my time to help out at all

That would be really great, thanks! I'll bring it up with the EventHosts and architects too

I still feel like we're too harsh on redstone, and it always comes back to lag. its definitely nice to finally have the LWC implementation with minecarts now, makes smelters and sorters much more streamlined.

Is there any way to track piston limits directly? without needing for staff to place them. It can get rather irritating to have to ask staff to place pistons if you're building anything that uses more than 10.

Pistons/slimeblocks are a huge part of redstone, and its a shame that they're flat out banned in any sort of crop farm. MCMMO + fortune makes these farms almost obsolete anyway, so it would be nice if we found a way to actually let people use pistons in semi-automatic farms.

With auto sorters and hopper counts, we have a cap of 100 hoppers for sorters. with the most efficient sorter design possible and no leeway for inputs and outputs, that's 50 items, which makes sorters only viable for bulk storage, and nothing more. We can significantly reduce the lag of hoppers just by placing a block on top of them (stops the check of input from above) so It would be nice to see this reviewed.

Building on from the last one, the region count of 200 basically forbids having more than a single large machine in a region. If you own a large smelter and sorter, you don't have enough hoppers for both in the same region.


Finally, as Mike said, It would be nice to be able to get drops of the rarer mobs more easily (especially since slime farms are banned). perhaps we could have a built in drop rate increase? The emp price seems pretty hefty on these items as well so I can't see why anyone would ever buy them directly from emp, especially if you need large numbers of them (slime blocks are 500 emp each).

That's all I can think of really. I'm not staff so I can't exactly suggest in depth ways of changing these things. Just a few thoughts

I have a few ideas that could come on handy. I will type them down and send them to you Uni or in this post.

[Chill2000]

In terms of this we have a manual staff piston placement so we not only can track but also allows us to make sure autofarms arent being built.

Also we'll take a look at a potential redstone revamp, I cant promise anything however!

Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

[finb]

another idea i had; making a vetworld. After the last major reset, I remember a staff (dont remember who) saying something about adding vet world again after 1.14 and we still haven't gotten one.

I believe we used to have Elite+ or legend+ place their own pistons? Any idea why this was removed?

Hello, first off thank you for the suggestions!
1. EliteMobs was removed because of a poll that revealed most people didn't enjoy it. I am still bringing this up with Tow & co. to find out whether or not it'll be brought back but can't give you an update just yet.
2. This has been decided against for multiple reasons, the main of which being that it takes away from the survival experience and in doing so makes going to the nether more pointless.
3. EventHosts do get paid money

Edit: EliteMobs will not be re-added, heard back from Tow and he would not like to deal with the complications it brought with it.

[UnicornOnACob]

This will have been removed because we need to monitor what people are using pistons for so they can't create awful lag machines etc. This won't be changing any time soon because otherwise we'd have to manually go and find every piston to check it's being used legally.

I have opened up a discussion with the manager+ team about the possibility of this and so far the only one we can consider changing is whether or not to allow pistons in semi-auto farms, the other 2 queries (not needing staff to place and monitor pistons & increasing the hopper limit) have been denied because we unfortunately can't trust all players to follow the rules on pistons and redstone contraptions without certain restrictions. The hopper limit is not what it is to make players' lives hard, it's to prevent lag being generated.

Feel free to suggest any other ideas you may have!

Towelie says this will likely never be a thing again, sorry!

Bring back SFTMMO! no more mcmmo. SFTMMO for life!!

[Khema騎士]

I think that there needs to be more incentives for people to get on. Are they any new events in the works that are coming anytime soon?

The new eventworld is in the works

SFTMMO will not be coming back as the plugin is no longer being developed, that is the reason we switched to McMMO.

Oh okay, I didn't know the new event world would include new events. That sounds awesome!

[xJade]

Quests maybe? I remember tow wanting to add some quests (obtain like 16 logs for 15 emp) or maybe make actual quests that have stakes like first player to complete it gets a special (somewhat op) item or money. And we can have it changed every month or week

Edit: I can make the quests too! I made around 150 for Wild West back then I don't see a problem making quests every week hehe

Would it be possible to get lift signs back?

[Chill2000]

Would it be possible to get lift signs back?

Having a look into it now, I would assume the plugin was abandoned but i may be wrong.

You could use mywarp signs and set warps on where you want the 'lift' to exist and do it that way?
