Okay here's some ideas/suggestions/critiques of the current C revision that I have compiled over the past month or so.
Spawn
Don't get me wrong, spawn is amazing. You guys did a great job in preparing the spawn and it looks great. The spawn secrets are everywhere and I still am finding (and building) new ones to this day. That being said, I have some issues with spawn and how it is set up. Here are some things in spawn that I think need improvement or could be changed for next revision:
1: When a player first logs into our server, if he doesn't see the warp signs, he goes through the rules room and then through a maze of dark corridors and then finds himself in the basement of the CTA building. The tracks all just go to a stone wall. If nobody is on to tell me how to /warp or /randloc, at this point I probably get bored and move on to a different server.
2: Spawn plots were not done well on this revision. I totally am for a spawn city, but this one is just bad. The whole area being color coded made the whole landscape look weird. To add on to that, the roads are the same block type as the plots, and many plots don't have a road on any sides. So I got a plot for a house, but there is no road on any side, I don't even know which way to build it. Next time predetermined plots are fine, but keep completely colored plots out and have a better road system in place.
3: The spawn city is a mess now. Lots of plots were claimed but never "reclaimed" by the admins after they did not build in it. Many of the builds were started but have not been touched in over a month. I would love to see this fixed but I'm not sure how. Maybe having speed builds or contests to make the area look better.
4: No clue what is going on with railways. CTA is deserted with no lines at all, other people are building their own private lines. Do we just seal the CTA up or keep the empty lines right outside of the spawn area? I know whenever I go down the lines it is usually just griefed where it is unprotected.
Warps
1: /warp bigtown has some random colored plots and a ton of builds that have nothing to do with statues around it. Marting and I attempted to build some statues to get other people to follow but so far nothing.
2: /warp pixelart looks great. No complaints here. It's nice seeing it not on Ice like it usually is.
Events/Community
1: /warp Soleil seems to be a great community project, but for some reason participation has slowed. I would like to see it advertised a bit more, both here and on /r/mcpublic.
2: I would really love to see more community events to get people working together and having fun. I know speed builds have been discussed and I am all for that.
3: To add on to #1, just a bigger presence in /r/mcpublic in general. Barely any posts from C are there.
I guess these are less of a discussion and more of my insight of things that I think need to change in order to make C a better place to play. Feel free to discuss these, tell me I'm wrong or right, etc.
