  1. Gunna re-throw the idea about a different x-ray moderation style, seeing as we unban after every map now.

     

     

    http://www.curse.com/server-mods/minecraft/anti-x-ray

     

     

     

     

    PREVENTS cheaters from taking all the good stuff for themselves, without the tremendous overhead of Orebfuscator.

    How does it work?

    Basically, players are limited in the amount of valuable ores they can mine, based on their play time on the server. Legitimate, non-cheating players probably won't notice because the default limits are generous, but xrayers will be blocked from mining ore too quickly. So cheaters can still cheat, but they can't take more than a non-cheating player's reasonable share of ore. So their only gain is avoiding monsters while digging. They can't mine their first diamonds/"other good stuff" sooner than non-cheating players, and they can't take more total than they could if they weren't cheating.

     

     

    With our current system, we're punishing people that use x-ray for mining and ignoring those that only use it for an advantage in PvP. A system like this would be accepting the use of x-ray but limiting the economy damage it can cause. 

     

    I also think with a little work the current plug in could be used with this one.

     

     

    But, ignoring all that the dude in the OP has 32 diamond blocks - how is there a need for more diamonds? Doesn't the ender chest just ruin the point and fun of raiding for fat lootz?

  2. Two weeks is more than I've gave in the past man, especially for a first, limited offence.

     

    If it was just a one-time thing I usually just keep them banned until the unban topic arrives so they know they were bad. If they're spamming it or they do it again then I'd give time-ban. 

     

    I don't know the specifics and I'm not around enough to have much of a weighted opinion, but just my two cents.

    Sunday, 20st January, 15:00 GMT

     

    I made a pig racing track and have decided to host a good old fashion throw down this Sunday. Grab your saddles and your sticks, and get ready for some glitchy, physics-ignorant fun! There will be free bacon for all racers and spectators, as well as a firework show for the winner's ceremony. 

     

     

    To sign up simply reply with the following:

     

    SIGN ME UP

    IGN:

    Faction:

     

    Players will be split into heats based on total number of applicants. The winner from each heat will go on to the next round. Until I get an idea of how many people are going to be racing I can't give specifics, but the heats will be against 3-5 people.

     

    Rules:

    • Do not get off of your pig.
    • If your pig dies, you are disqualified. There are health points throughout the map, which should help you look after your future bacon.
    • You must start with an empty inventory.
    • You may only equip a carrot on a stick during the race.
    • Do not hit each other's pigs. 

    Prizes:

     

    1. 2500GC
    2. 1000GC
    3. 700GC

     

    But wait, there's more!

     

    The champion will also get to choose between a copy of indie title Don't Starve or the big G of physics sandbox games, Garry's Mod. Whichever title the winner deems as trash will get thrown to the tearful runner up.

  4. I quickly learned one thing when most of my IRL friends stopped playing Minecraft - Faction Wars is no fun alone.

     

    The solo people that tend to do well are the guys that just get on with it. I think it's unreasonable to expect someone that's put a lot of hours into building up their base and inventory to accept someone new to the server that could easily ruin everything. 

     

    You had it right to begin with, just do your own thing for a while. Build a base, talk in chat, try trading so people get to know your name and see your l33t base building skills and eventually someone worthwhile will invite you. If that never happens you still have a base and hopefully some faction members that have proven to be reliable and you won't need any invites.

     

    Oh and next time go inventory-less. It's a scrub tactic but you can't beat free gear delivered right to your doorstep. 

     

    Also, on the subject of one man factions. Why not eh? We have power decay for any would be litterers. 

  5. What do you guys think an arena would bring to the server? 

    Before, if someone trash talked, wanted to fight, insulted your saint of a mother or pretty much any reason you could muster, you'd make haste to their base and use everything at your disposal to get in and spawn kill them to obliteration. Nowadays it seems people just exchange U HACK from their water lined obsidian cubes and complain there's a lack of PvP to the game. 

     

    I just see an arena as a way to gain a little equipment and bragging rights. Which is a watered down version of gaining a lot of equipment and gaining someone's metaphorical scalp from a base bust-up. 

    I think there could be better ways to improve, or encourage raiding. Lowering water and obsidian's TNT resistance to just below threshold might make a difference. That way no one is really automatically safe, and your options are either fight or log and pray they don't get in during your TNT cool down timer. 

     

    Or, just take it upon yourselves to build less than impenetrable bases. If you really are the PvP Gods you think you are, you should be able to rock a mudhut and still defend it against any would be barbarians. Getting raided is fun, and if you're good enough you'll get delivered gear right on your doorstep. Protect your good stuff in a sealed off room, leave the major parts of your base tntable, and see what happens. I guarantee you it'll at least be more interesting than sitting in your obsidicube and wondering where the fun went. 

     

    All this said, I've resorted to hiding chat most of the time I've been playing recently to avoid the spawn kills I see going on, so something must be working?

  6. In regards to the whole teleport thing. What's up with the command blocks? Couldn't we just set up blocks with /tp @p to a coordinate, and have that coordinate belong to another command block that gets you back to spawn?

     

    Or, if it works. We could sell the installation of a command block in your base to teleport to spawn? That way you'd have to be at a certain location, avoiding combat abuse. 

  7. As much as it sucks getting your shit blown up, being raided is one of the funnest parts of PvP. All these people building impenetrable cubes and then complaining the server needs a pvp arena or extra stuff to make it more interesting are only ruining their own enjoyment.
