  17. Creative Feedback Thread: What do you want to see in Rev 28?

    in Minecraft General

    My personal thought was, what if we just made CTA its standard 4 directions that run parallel against the roads. Then perhaps later, the people who like building CTA, can add stations and/or take requests to connect their lines to cities or other builds. With that plan, they can construct a path carefully and be completely aware of their surroundings. If that fails, of course, the player who has a problem, can /modreq and staff will handle the situation.

    That's actually not bad of an idea

    I will contribute towards getting server staff headsets, as long as a few guidelines are put in place:

     

      1: Staff be on mumble.nerd.nu at least 8 hours a week in reachable channels.

       1a: Being in suppressed channels or being muted and deafened does not count towards this goal.

       1b: Active hours should preferably match to peak active hours.

      

      2: Microphones be used as much as possible.

       2a: Text chat should be kept to as little as possible, as not to disrupt flow of conversation with late responses.

     

    I'm serious about this. If giving a bit of money gets people talking and discussing things, then I am all for it.

     

    If I'm not mistaken, it used to be like this.

    Just because people might not make a fuss about it, doesn't mean that they aren't gritting their teeth while tolerating it. I think it's completely ridiculous that you're basically saying people shouldn't have to be considerate of others, and should only have to cooperate when someone complains. 

     

    This happened to me last rev when Martin and a few others were making roads. I specifically chose to build in the jungle because it was away from the roads and from other builds, and I leave for about a week, come back, and there's a road running under the hill my house was on. When I mentioned it in chat, everyone who was on at the time said it was allowed, and that the mods allowed it. This pissed me off so much. I tore down my house and moved to the edge of the world in a corner where my region could remain undisturbed from roads and CTA lines. 

    When Dumbo came on, I talked to him about it and he confirmed that the mod shouldn't have done that, and that I should've put in a modreq for it. Nobody asked me if I was okay with the road going through there.

     

     

    I think allowing multiple people to build in unobstructed spaces is more valuable than a sightseeing tour.

    I agree with Sir_Walmsley on this. 

     

     

    Each region will have their own needs of less intrusive, so we let the region owner decide. Maybe change the policy a little, so that someone can request their own region in an area that already has cta lines, with the expectation that they will reroute it how they please.

    So long as it gets rerouted and not just cut off there.

    We are not going to prohibit CTA or any other type of build because it looks bad or gets in the way of future builds. If you have issues with something that someone is building, you need to bring that up with person making it. 

     

    He didn't say anything about completely abolishing the CTA, just keeping it out of people's way.

    In it's current form, it's nothing but a hassle.

     

    - If the protection extends the entirety of the Y-axis, then anyone trying to make a land claim or build above the lines is going to wonder what is preventing them from doing so. I'm assuming this option would not be chosen, considering how many issues it would cause.

    - If the protection only surrounds the lines themselves, then what happens when someone makes a land claim above them and/or digs down to find them? Are you going to rollback the space that the line is occupying and then wrap the line around whatever this person is building? What if this person decides to continue building towards where the line was just relocated, or what if someone else finds it, instead? How far away from its original course are you going to have to move the line and add additional travel time? This seems like an awful lot of hassle to continue moving the line until it is no longer contested. Like I mentioned in my previous post, some people may not even know that the placement of the line can be disputed, and could potentially leave out of frustration upon finding it. How many times would these hypothetical situations actually occur? Who knows, but it's still something to consider.

    I also feel that people would ride the lines even less than they do now if they had to endure the same repetitive wall design underground for the entire duration of the ride. If people would still use the lines regardless, then that's up to them, I guess. I personally think it's a bit silly to see them as anything more than aesthetic pieces, given how many quicker travel options are available to us, but my opinion is only one among many.

    Don't get me wrong, my intention isn't to prevent people from connecting to each other; like I said in my previous post, I'm simply against the CTA's current form. I feel that the arbitrary CTA lines that were not intentionally built for the purpose of connecting people, and only appear to serve this purpose by pure luck that they hit something, need to be done away with, condensed, or hidden somehow. Basically, if it's not a rail line connecting areas after they have already been established, and that haven't also received consent from the owner, then I don't think they should be allowed; it would be ideal if some of these lines ran along, below, or above the roads already connecting the cities, like the one leading to Pinkerton. I just feel that it's unnecessary to have a line running to 8-bit, or sightseeing lines like the one skimming the border of the map, for example.
