buzzinbee Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I have talked about this with LetsBFehr and marting11, they both agree that it would be good and fun, I would like to hear from Dumbo and from the survival admins to make sure that they are fine with the idea. This was brought up a while ago but Tharine thought that PvP arenas on creative would draw too much attention away from survival. I personally don't think that will happen but it's still a genuine concern so I would like to hear everyone's view on it. Basically we would allow players to modreq for a pvp arena they have built to have a pvp allow flag set on it. If we did this I think it would make creative a little more interesting than just blocks although personally I'd like to try and remove the death messages that would come from pvp fights. Thoughts?

This may actually happen so if we're going with this it should be only on a trial basis to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzinbee Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 This may actually happen so if we're going with this it should be only on a trial basis to see what happens. I'd be ok with this, the idea had been tossed about in chat before and some survival players thought that it would actually work the other way and give players a taste for survival. They also pointed out the fact that survival is more than just killing each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzie71 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 An analogous discussion happened for P - from what I can piece together from old threads, initially there was great resistance among staff at the time for having PvP arenas on P, primarily because of the fear that PvP is the specialty of S (it will take players away from S to P as well as be redundant in the bigger picture of the nerd servers). The compromise that was made at the time was that PvP arenas on P were to be "reasonably sized" and simple (like this one), with the understanding that bigger, more complicated PvP arenas (and even arenas where PvP is a secondary feature, such as jousting) can and should be built on S instead. Over time, the size and arena criteria became clearly defined in the rules (40x40x40, access-restricted, etc.) and the complexity restriction on the arenas sort of faded out on its own; most recently I have seen and enabled PvP not only in straight-up PvP arenas, but in jousting arenas, king of the ladder arenas, an archery arena, and other arenas that required PvP and met the regulations put forth in nerd.nu/rules. Despite these changes on P, which the staff a year ago worried would negatively affect S, the Survival playerbase appears not to have changed greatly, at least to my knowledge. TL;DR: Given what has happened on P, I doubt the statement that having PvP arenas on C will detract much from S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzinbee Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Talked to Dumbo he said he would be ok with it, I would still like to have a go ahead from the survival admins though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draykhar Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 As I said with P, It's catering to the playerbase of the server, if the players want it - and it doesn't harm the other servers - we're obligated to give it to them. Try it out, if it starts pulling from S, revisit the issue from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cab417 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 It's catering to the playerbase of the server. Agreed. Players play on survival for the survival feel. Including arenas on creative shouldn't take players away from the survival server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrloud15 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 I agree with what the others have said. I'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzinbee Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well we have the ability to create pvp regions now, is there a way we could disable the death messages or will that just be a thing we will have to live with (not a huge problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an admin only command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzinbee Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 LetsB brought this up to me. Should we enable certain potions and make the pvp a bit more up-to-date or just leave it as you get a sword and enchantments no potions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
