  1. Ah. Exploration will probably still be difficult, since people will seek out diamond houses to loot so that they can camp spawn.

    A gear sign might help keep the playing field even, though saving the TNT for later is probably a good idea.

     

    Gear signs are nice, but ultimately, those end up getting camped too.

     

     

    Any updates on when the first Throwback Thursday even will take place?

  2. Survival can be a dick server at times, I get that - but we aren't nearly as bad as you would think.

    I've seen many of our experienced players avoid killing new players, allowing them to get settled in and generally feel a little welcome. I often Skype with a few of the more "toxic" labelled players of S, but I've noticed that there's recently been a good-guy personality when it comes to meeting a new player. I've seen clans attack and kill another member of their clan because of killing a new player. 

     

    It seems to me that some players that hardly get on S tend to describe everyone there as "toxic". By labeling all of us in a negative way, nobody from any other servers (such a C and P) would be inclined to give it a try. As a community with 3 separate servers for 3 different play styles, we still need to remember we are all part of the larger nerd.nu community.

  3. From the universal rule page on the wiki:

     

    "No attempts to circumvent any protections on the server, including but not limited to the server script, LWC(Chest protection), WorldGuard(Block protection), and No Cheat Plus. Attempts to do so without permission will result in a ban without appeal."

     

    Seems like an attempt to circumvent LWC protection to me, however I am not a mod/ admin.

  4. During this revision, I have also started to have these issues while moving armour and other items between my inventory and a locked chest or an ender chest.

     

    Edit: I generally have no lag issues

  5. I do like the announcements of when I revision will start. If it wasnt announced, players would constantly ask anyway, causing another headache for staff.

     

    It is unfortunate that Nerd has a history of delaying start dates, however, it is hard for anyone to anticipate problems that may come up. Rather than not announcing, it might be a good idea to announce a date that gives the staff a buffer zone to iron out any problems. It seems like the staff always have a general idea of when the revisions will start, so adding a day or two after that could help avoid this issue in the future.

  6. In my opinion the time limit is perfect. The idea for this plugin, at least from when I was presenting it, was to stop spamming of pearls. Not using pearls to escape PvP, just to give the attacker a more even chance. I think it's done that pretty well, the only downside is not being able to pearl spam out of traps, but since you're essentially glitching your way up the wall I'm personally not too bothered about that.

     

    This plugin is working perfectly for your idea of it then. Eliminating glitching out of traps is definitely a good thing.

  7. I'd doubt that would have a fix as it's caused by players clicking in the wrong spot or holding shift as they click, djt. Well, as far as I know anyways.

    Ah, I see. Well its not a major issue anyway.

     

    At 3 seconds, the cooldown was not even noticable to me. By the time the pearl has landed, 3 seconds has already elapsed. If we are really considering a cooldown, the time length should be increased.

  8. So is this like a shitty remake of turntable? Because your room won't load.

    They were doing some maintanence stuff for a long time today and it hasnt loaded for me since. I think they might still be working on something. I actually like it a bit better than turntable.

  9. The 2 plugins that were added, enchantism and XP plump, give an advantage to everyone on the server, not just PvPers. I think that goes the same for the majority of the plugins we add since we don't want to change the server just to suit someone's taste.

    Enchantism and XP plump have helped greatly in mining and general resource gathering. Before these plugins, I would spend hours trying to get a Fortune III pick. Also, they help me be able to gear up for PvP if I want. I dont spend a lot of time gathering resources and such, so being able to pick my enchants rather than having a chest full of crap enchanted items helps with both aspects of the game.

  10. Mumberthrax brought up a great idea in chat. He suggested the cooldown only affecting those in armor. This would then target what we want to accomplish with the cooldown (people escaping fights too easily) and keep those opposing it happy. I'm not sure if something like that would be at all possible though.

  11. Ive been playing on S for quite some time now, and I can assure you there is much, much less PvP going on than there used to be.

     

    Decapitation is just a fun plug-in. Having a player head gives you no perks, and there is not really any value to them other than showing off you killed someone. Because of this, I dont think it creates any disadvantage to those of us who do not PvP often or at all.

     

    Even if a player was not given killstreak rewards, they would most likely still be carrying pearls or a speed potion, both of which make it easy for someone to catch up to you.

     

    I wouldnt pass judgement on the pearl cooldown yet. If we get a trail period, that would give everyone a chance to experience it. Thinking back on the times I have used pearls, I really dont have to spam them to accomplish what I am trying to do.

     

    I am glad to see you posting on the forums Rhydderech, you brought up some great points in chat today and I hope more people will respond to this discussion. Don't let any negative feedback discourage you, its great to see newer players to the server getting involved!
