People should be able to use the benefits of their perk if they paid money for it. If they ever get offensive you can do the same to them. Also, like someone mentioned, they blow anything up when everyone in the victim faction is offline.

I get what you mean, but sometimes catching a hacker isn't that simple. Many of the ban requests on the forums get rejected simply because it is difficult to tell in numerous instances whether hacks, glitches, or legitimate tactics were used. Not everyone has recording software, and not all footage is report-worthy.

Maybe the lava mountain idea is a bit off, but I agree that there could be something done to raid someone's base. Without ender pearls it is the easiest thing to just sit in an easily made impenetrable base. It only encourages hacking to get into people's bases, which is not what we want. Perhaps something such as easier-obtained ender pearls (more loot drops from endermen) or gunpowder to make TNT could make raiding more enjoyable and give idiots less of an incentive to simply hack into someone's base.

Yep. There's good intent with the enchanting nerfing on this server, but I think it could use some improvement.

Jesus, no need to be so annoyed with marcus. Why so many hostile posts? He's not being a jerk about it as we can see from his posts in this thread.

Yeah it's really hard to claim factions over with that when they mostly log off.

I'm sick and tired of diamond and crap dupe accusations thrown everywhere. Give us some evidence perhaps? That works a lot better.

As far as I know the player count is decresing really fast. It used to be 40/40 all the time, then it went to 100 and it was even full. Since that moment the server began loosing players. The same for the tf2 server, they're almost always empty. I don't know the solution, mayby we need to promote the server (Youtube ?) or increase the amount of tournament and/or special events (bonus xp / bonus gc). I know the Janitors will try their best next map and we'll see if it helps out. I think we need to find a way to promote both servers no matter how good the janitors do their thing. The numbers of players online IS dropping rapidly.Promotion sounds like a good idea.I think a big reason for the reduction in number of players is that many were waiting for a reset and then when it became the guerilla faction wars with no furnaces, etc. many people disliked that without trying it and gave up on the server.

That has happened to me as well in the past. It is rather...... unexpected.

Isn't the idea to get rid of duped stuff not to take it and use it ourselves?

I agree.

I just realized there were TF2 servers (I've only been playing the L4G Minecraft server so far). I know this says hat trading but I saw other deals for other things. So here goes, I'm selling any of my stranges (about 50 of them I think) except for the black box that has 1800 kills on it. item/quantity s. soda popper/1 s. pistol/2 s. atomizer/1 s. bat/1 s. bazaar bargain/2 s. sydney sleeper/1 s. razorback/3 s. SMG/1 s. bushwacka/1 s. direct hit/1 s. black box/1 (Renamed "Rocket to Hell" I didn't name it that, the previous owner did. Also, not the thing I mentioned above.) s. pain train/1 s. scottish resistance/1 s. evelander/2 s. bottle/4 s. overdose/2 s. blutsauger/1 s. quick-fix/3 s. bonesaw/3 s. brass beast/1 s. family business/1 s. killing gloves of boxing/2 s. fists/1 s. back scratcher/2 s. diamondback/2 s. big earner/2 s. knife/2 s. dead ringer/1 s. southern hospitality/3 You can see my TF2 backpack here: http://www.tf2items.com/id/Nonam82#tab-backpack I'm selling all of these at the spreadsheet price here: http://tf2spreadsheet.blogspot.com/ If you're wondering how on earth I got so many, the funny thing is that I never even bought any keys to open crates. Call me crazy, but I simply traded and bargained and haggled for many, many hours on a trade server (I haven't had the game for very long, only since a while after it became F2P). EDIT: I have sold a ton of these stranges off so look at my backpack to see which ones I have left.

Someone dumped tons of lava on everything I did. Is there any way to check who did it?

For not liking me you sure stayed a long time in Looters with me as leader

I thought that was pretty nice considering you spammed x1,000,000,000. Consider yourself lucky we didn't feel the need to press further. Also.... you could logged off or joined a faction instead of keep pushing that respawn button. Did you really think we were going to invite a spamming newb?

ikr

I would like to say it is VERY hard to know what is duped and what's not when you raid a lot. I have burned MANY stacks of diamond blocks that I considered duped (for instance 6 stacks of diamond blocks raided by me from Cnc). I only kept diamond in individual raids if I got them in smaller numbers. We have been accused of having gold iron and diamond blocks scattered around base. I'm not sure where they are but I do have some on my little room. I used about 16 diamond blocks each of diamond, gold and iron on my house. That is completely reasonable. I have about 50 blocks of legitimate diamond. When you consider all those stacks of duped diamond blocks I burned from CnC and other factions, that is pretty minimal. Also, Discord has admitted to having OVER four stacks of diamond blocks, maybe that should be looked into first. And iron and gold are easier to get.I have close to 2 stacks each of iron and gold blocks. It seems like a lot, but consider: a) Why the hell would we dupe that when we don't use it?!?!? b. We don't use it so it builds up c) Even newb factions have a little iron and gold when they don't have diamond, so there is a lot more of that. As for duped TNT-- I don't even HAVE FRICKIN TNT! My ban- I'm not saying my temporary ban was unreasonable. I shouldn't have made those ender pearls, and that was stupid of me. I appreciate your support Monkey but I was in the wrong. But I will say that there are many players that abuse it and most of the server seems to have ender pearls even though almost no one goes to the End. That should be fixed pronto. Duped armor is ridiculous. Why would we dupe prot. I and II or plain armor when we have some prot. IV ?!?!?!? I mean, I use mostly prot. I, but I DO also have a prot. IV set, just one set. In raids it is hard to know what's duped. You kill a lot of people and you don't have time to look at durability while your fighting. If they duped their armor it is not easily noticeable and it dumped in a chest at base with the rest. I simply spend many, many hours grinding to get what few good enchants I have. Since I've been with LRG I've grinded mobs to get level 50 an average of 3 times a day. As for duped swords: Everyone these days is running around with a sharp IV/V knockback II fire aspect II sword.... very hard to compete with that when EVERY newb or enemy has it. Thank you Monkey. PS Why are half the replies Discord laughing at us?

The base was not made close to the end of the map. The issue has come up recently, but the base was made before. And if your read carefully I never said we all had eff. V. The obsidian would have taken a few hours even with just a normal diamond pick. I didn't say we bought all the obby either. AsX said he made up a quarter of it and not even his was all purchased. And we don't need to have everyone on at once. We can just mine some deposit and log out.... Use some logic dude.

A big sky base...

Sorry I'm not thinking too clearly. It's almost 5 in the morning here =(

Wait a sec. Did we have a math error before? 2.5k is 39 stacks, which is a total of 6.53 hours of mining with a regular diamond pick (obby takes 9.4 seconds: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Obsidian). With Eff. V that is under 2 hours for the whole faction (5 minutes mining per person)! Am I going bonkers or is this not the "hundreds of stacks" nor 100 hours of mining that was accused before? About the armor and stuff.... I'll discuss that later I want to know about the obby. ~Please tell me if I'm being uselessly annoying or am being reasonable. Edit: Oh typo....I looked it up and found the mining time as 9.4 seconds am I getting my information wrong? Also with obsidian generators you don't have to "locate" obsidian. Explanation here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Obsidian#Farming_and_Casting

1. That is pure speculation on your part. I remember a few days ago Monkeybalzac helped my faction, mining 4 hours or so straight mining obsidian with an enchanted pick. Also, due to faster picks and raids you don't need to mine for 5 hours. 2. 2 hours of mining. That is nothing. I play more than that every day. This is MC! Is mining for 2 hours so unbelievable?! We don't have to be online at the same time.... Also it's more like 1.5 hours. 4. Ok, I don't know if GC was used. 5. Why the hell not? When you think about the fast-mining picks, and the loot from raids, it really isn't impossible over time. I think numbers 1 and 2 explain this pretty well. 6. That may be true but this is completely legitimate for multiple reasons. I would also like to point out that Mathijs is from Discord (our main enemy) and may be a tad biased. Any input from others?

I thought something was weird.... My post was changed by someone. I can see why now though. Edit: Also, I'd like to mention the duping accusations I have received. What I did was with pearls. I never did true duping, this thing only creates Ender Pearls. So please don't shower me with the duped diamond/TNT/etc. BS.

I was banned for duplicating. That was wrong and I shouldn't have done it. I would also like to point out that I haven't seen people being banned for it even though many blatantly have a ton of pearls without going to the End. I hope I can come back to the server.
