Ok, with the reset coming i thought it would be good to start a thread where people can share ideas to make the server better and encourage people to stay longer and donate. Many people want to be able to move/buy spawners, hedgehog suggested a special pickaxe that could be bought for a one time use to move/mine a spawner, or maybe if the shop at spawn sold spawners. Anyone else have any ideas of what we could have/do to make it even more fun on skygrid?
Well, do we have an idea when the reset is happening yet? I do have some ideas, such as a warp showing warps to the best shops, trading XP for money ($10 per level) plus a community furnace warp protected so nobody steals your smelted items.
No /ps flag invincible allow makes skygrid too easy. lower the price of iron too many iron farms... or limit how many iron farms players can have. Limit 2 per player total or lower iron to $10 All kits should be once or twice a week. If we do sell spawner at the shop all spawners should be removed from the world and we will have to set a limit of how many spawners per chunk is allowed. or make a special pick part of the donator rewards like $60 plus
Agree on the iron farm idea but the rest will not make the game more attractive to new players so i would have to disagree....sorry snow. p.s. Especialy the amount of spawners per chunk and removing them from the map, if the restriction of spawners per chunk is to small it renders the whole point of changing the system meaningless.
well the game is to easy... with /ps flag invincible allow... in any minecraft game mobs spawn normally... kits people get way to much for example I don't even call my in until someone is buying them. it would have to be either you buy the spawners from the shop or you are able to pick them up with special pick you'll need a limit because people will try to make crazy mob xp farms and it will cause the server to lag.. I would like to just find spawners normally in the world makes it more of a challenge and I want all spawner from witches to rabbits another thing is water fall... no crazy water falls... it causes lag and staff have to go around removing them one by one. I would also like if people VIP and up cause auction items..
If they were as you say, give us access to buy or even pic up spawners, it comes with an issue that will affect a whole range of people. When we have a spawner it spawns the mob created by that block, but if we were to buy multiple spawners and possible create a mob farm/grinder it can cause serious issues within the server, meaning that if the mobs were not killed they would build up and in time will cause the server serious lag, the lag if not found will lead to the server having crash still the situation is found and fixed. So that is why they have not allowed the ability to purchase spawners or move them. It would have been difficult as much even allowing spawners being on the skygrid section as a single spawner can still cause some serious lag if not set up correctly. I hope this help.
Agreed that there has to be a limit snow, maybe 6-8max and have spawners in the world not in the shop, if the pickaxe price is high, say 50k+ then people will not be able to buy so many and those that can are longtime players who will be more likely to respect the rules. Not really bothered about the ps flag, as the mobs never killed me when i did not have it set (first 2 months on the server) vips should be able to auction things, It would be nice to have pickaxes in the kits (not the spawner ones lol) i think most donators would be ok with getting the kit only once a week, but the golden apples should be replaced with some kind of pickaxe.
That could be discussed lol, it is definitely something to consider, but I guess we are going to have to wait and see what they do
Well I like the once a week idea, because skygods can just get like 4 kits per week, and these can be sold for like $2000 each. This means 8k per week in a way.
the skygod kit goes for much more than 2k, and money is not an issue when you have that rank. Also if the kit is only given 1 time a week the price goes up as demand far outweighs supply .... even now.
Ok having thought about it and discussed it with a member of staff i realize the lag issue is a stumbling block. If the spawner pics were only available for premium+ ranks to buy and at the price of 80k+ it would stop craziness happening. Also a rule could be that players have too notify staff of the spawners location so they can be logged and checked on by staff so nothing untoward happens to cause lag, and if so staff could quickly check the locations. I think this would encourage people to upgrade rank to premium and benefit the server greatly. @AlexM850
i feel like 80k is waaaay too much to pay for a pick that allows you to move spawners. i'd say 20k and make it available to Supporter+.
Have to disagree ender, 20k is nothing and it would be a one time use........80k would stop people having huge xp farms. We cant move spawners now so anything would be better, and if it was allowed there would have to be strict rules to stop silliness and lag. Also if it was premium+ it would encourage people to donate more
Instead of being able to relocate or purchase spawners why not just some system to modify existing locations. For example, in my area I have 2 squid and 1 non-functioning slime spawner. If there was a system to have an admin modify them I wouldn't mind not being able to purchase or move any others, that would also have the effect of admin having to 'approve' and log the location to build.
Modify them?. Premium+ can already change spawners and as for staff altering the position of them in the existing area, that would come down to pure luck on who finds areas with lots of spawners, so not really a worthwhile idea to encourage more donations.
I say we I think we should keep the Invincible thing because then if people die they will come complaining to staff and they might quit skygrid or even AEM!
