  1. The Brand of nerd.nu

    Maybe just the glasses with "nerd.nu" printed under them or something like that. That way, someone would have the URL to get more information.

     

     

     

    If it just had a NU with nerd.nu under it, a passerby wouldn't be able to tell the difference  if it was a gaming community that they may be interested in or a website that sells cheap doctor who keychains.

     

     

    Is this not minimalist?

  3. Options for Portals in future revs

    in PvE

    Posted

    Not having a spawn portal is an interesting thought. I mean, it kind of makes sense from a travel perspective - getting to anywhere from spawn via overworld travel isn't too big an obstacle because our spawn is always in the centre of the world. But going between cities at the extreme ends of the map would definitely benefit from portal travel.

     

    Sorry i made a mistake there, i meant to say 1 in the middle and one at N-E-S-W. The middle one shouldn't open until all portals are found though,

    Is that not the entire point of the branding? The idea is to get the word out there, a shirt with just the NU glasses on it tells you nothing about what the shirt means or advertises. Nevertheless it would be a cool shirt, it just doesn't show the point.

    I'd like to resurrect an old idea I had once / flog a dead horse: https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/682-pve-a-thought-question-on-portals-and-their-number/

     

    My idea was, in a nutshell: one portal.  Only one.  Plonk it down somewhere on the map and - I think - there would be some very interesting knock-on effects in terms of overworld infrastructure development, resource gathering, trade, and so on.

     

    I've always thought that P's infrastructure engineering is one of the best things about the server: I love the occasional "world border to world border" run along the roads; and experts would probably infer weird freakish things about our collective mind from how our rail networks grow.  The nether's speedy travel is, I think, it's great attraction but I'm curious to see what would happen when that wasn't available.

     

    (The original post, whose link I've provided above, had some good perspectives on this).

     

    I feel like this would be a complete pain in the ass...but interesting as hell. Maybe not 1 portal, but 4 on the world borders of N-E-S-W

    Ok now that I have gotten over T-Shirt Fever... 

     

    Competitive games.

    I think streaming is a great idea for competitions. Everything from CS:GO to Civ V people watch on twitch all the time. If we can set up maybe a rough time that competitions could be hosted every month or so (depending on peoples schedules) We could build a decent following on twitch and they will want to join in the fun.

     

    Youtube.

    Youtube community content should maybe be a centralized Nerd.nu Gaming Community page. I believe there is one already but not by that name. Spleef matches, events, and people playing the servers who upload videos (that are entertaining) should all be funneled into the main channel. A nice centralized place is good to build up the community on the youtube front. 

     

    Advertisement.

    Im not fully aware of ALL the advertisements, but i haven't seen many. I know there is a server voting list where people vote for servers to advance them, but i feel more can be done. I personally don't have any bright ideas other then the streamed or recorded content, so add your input guys and gals.

    Hmm so it seems you can only view your own t-shirt designs based on JK not being able to view mine and me not being able to view Difficults. Not sure how to get around this, but just imagine a black shirt with the nu glasses on the chest. That was basically it :-)

     

    Give me a sec, ill post a thumbnail

    I know i would wear the shit out of a nerd.nu t-shirt.

     

    If we do make one, we should make a forum contest where you wear the shirt infront of something cool like a monument or a landscape and take a picture. Think a google image war but with people wearing the shirts!

     

    (also what spreads faster then social media trends)

  19. Options for Portals in future revs

    in PvE

    Posted

    Word of warning - this has been proposed in the past (eg. here), and has not been implemented then for a few reasons, some listed here:

    • Building something up to a certain level of development for a portal is easier said than executed - criteria would ideally have to be a lot more clear-cut for a (gameplay-wise) advantageous resource to be given out to avoid accusations of unfair play.  
    • Additionally, portal placement during the rev (placing a corresponding portal in the Nether/overworld, whether by staff or by game) would need to be handled somehow.  Knowledge of how this is done could also be used to intentionally block someone from getting the portal placed.  The potential for drama due to this process is estimated to be high.

    TL;DR is that a method of portal distribution more desirable than our current system has remained elusive even now.  Not trying to shut down discussion, but this has historically been a difficult problem to crack.

     

     

    Heres another suggestion, would it be possible to change the distance limit the portal can be placed when its discovered?

    I believe its 100 blocks currently, but if it could be ramped up to 500 it would make it easier for towns to find ideal locations. Im sure ramping it up a tad won't matter like it has in the past due to the map being significantly larger then past revs.
