Quote from: Fractalion on Jul 08, 2018, 07:40 PMThis is exciting, I've been waiting for this for a while!

A few questions, though:
1. You said some plugins are being removed. Could you give some examples? I assume some of the donation related ones that only one or two people actually purchased would be included here?
2. Since this will essentially reset the economy, will you be reducing the number of ways that money enters into the economy? For example, will the rewards from voting be reduced now that the economy doesn't necessarily require such inflated numbers?
3. In the same vein as #2, since this will reset the economy, will villager trading be enabled now? This would be a great opportunity to balance and enable that, probably the only chance you'll get.
4. Totally unrelated to the topic at hand, but which admin is currently in charge of Patreon coupon distribution? Easier to just ask here than to ask around xd
1. Just run of the mill un-used plugins that 1-2 people purchased, and then i'd reimburse those people in premium shop credit
2. No. Voting is important. The reason the economy was THAT fucked, was because a handful of people found ways to dupe items, and proceeded to dupe thousands of diamond stacks and whatnot.
3. Villager trading will not be enabled. It's still insanely broken and you can exploit the economy that way. Villager trading is not compatible with having an economy.
4. TheStarNomad

To be clear, what I mean is not to make voting less viable as a way of earning money, but rather to just make all the number smaller. Like, make diamonds 1/10 their current cost, make votes give 1/10 of what they currently do, make events give 1/10 of what they currently do, etc. At the moment, earning a million emp isn't really hard. You can do it pretty easily if you really want to.

By reducing slashing the cost of literally everything, you'd make the Emp seem like it's worth more, even if you technically haven't rebalanced anything at all.

I just think it'd be cool to see earning a million EmpBucks be a thing that takes effort again, rather than a thing that can be done rather trivially by mining for a little while.

I admit I could have phrased my question in a way that made what I was talking about a bit clearer, that's totally on me.
Will wait for Lans's rebalance and then we could do that.
But it wouldn't really achieve anything, it's just psychological, because whether you get 20k from voting and a piece of dirt is 20k, or whether you get 2k from voting and a piece of dirt is 2k, it's the same thing.

I agree it wouldn't really do anything, but I feel that with the advent of enchantments, beacons, potions, and everything else that has made amassing wealth easier, the value of emp has changed drastically.

The original emporium prices were set in an era before any of those things existed, when the absolute fastest you could mine an obsidian was at a rate of 4 per minute, for example. Diamonds were so much more of a grind to get back then as well, given that the ore veins were the same size, but neither efficiency nor fortune existed back then.

I figure since these "new" gameplay mechanics have drastically changed the value of basically everything, now would be a good time to adjust the prices so that they no longer feel as inflated as they currently do. Sure, it could always be done later, (and could have been done earlier, but then you would need to update every single player's Emp balance to reflect the change as well, as well as making sure every autoshop owner is aware of the upcoming change, etc.) but I feel like this is realistically the only time this can be done, which is why I bring it up now.

I just think it would be nice if the numbers weren't so crazy-overinflated. If it doesn't happen I won't be sad, because I know it would take a bit of effort, but I'd certainly be happy if it were done.
Would you be interested in helping with that? :D

I'd be down for a more thorough rebalance of prices. To be honest I think looking at current player owned autoshops gives a more realistic set of prices as they know what players buy most and what prices they're willing to pay at an instant. Emporium should still be the premium option due to infinite stock and infinite money. Biggest example is something like 3k+ for a diamond at Emp vs 1.7k or whatever at an autoshop.

About changing emp prices.. a long time ago I started working on a "fixed" emp price list that ironed out all the issues with crafting price inconsistencies, bugged names of items and adding prices for items that the emp doesn't sell for an unknown reason (e.g. just be allowed to buy a diamond pick from the emp for the price of 3 diamonds and 2 sticks). I still have this file and will happily finish it up over the next few weeks if you want @Towelie - could you DM me the latest emp price list so I can update?

The list doesn't change the core values of any items, just makes prices more consistent between crafting (i.e. crafting stairs from blocks meant for some wacky price errors due to you getting multiple when you craft them, likewise with wool prices).

I'm so sorry for your loss Towelie. May he rest in peace and forever be remembered by everyone on SFT <3

Good shout, I'll check the rules and see if they allow that :D

Quote from: ep9954 on Aug 27, 2016, 05:14 PMMy sister @Dem_Jellybeanz was trying to get the donator rank using the cupon but it says she wasn't allowed to redeem that coupon. She hasn't redeemed it before, It worked fine for me. Does it have anything to do with the fact we're in the same house?


Each code can be used once and once only, not once per person.

Happy birthday! Thanks for all that you've done for both SFT and its community <3

Do NOT use any special ASCII type symbols in pet names (such as ▓ and ۩), as the pet will disappear when you /warp, /j, compass, /tp, /tpa, /ptp or use warp signs (anything that tps you elsewhere without you actually walking).

You will NOT be refunded for the loss of pets in this manner, as you have been warned.


Cheers,
- Lans
