Edit: If you don't actually pvp don't say this is a bad idea cause you most likely have no clue how fast you actually die in prot 4 without splashes. Minecraft Name: OhMrsKittyKat Suggestion: Disable spider eyes and remove from the game. Then enable splash potions. Reason: Pvp is dead, we all know this. Reason being, it takes 4 hits to kill someone in prot 4 with str 2, you simply do not have enough time to drink a healing II potion. You need splashes to even have a chance at surviving. For all who don't know, splash potions were disabled because of insta harming potions and poison potions being used in the main world, killing people in non pvp areas. Spider eyes are the key ingredient to these potions. Simply disable spider eyes and you get rid of all the potions that can do damage. Now for the people that are going to say that it will affect the profits of spider grinders, just increase the price of string. Any Other Information: Spider eyes have no use other then being a food that poisons you ( I bet 99% of people reading this did not even know spider eyes are edible ). There may be these potions already made, so there might be a way to wipe them out too, either that or just have it be a bannable offence if someone uses them. Edit : From a past server I was on I just remembered they disabled splash potions in non pvp areas. As in when you throw it, it does nothing. They can possibly add in that if they still want spider eyes as drops. Link To This Plugin: I am awful with plugins but i'm sure there's a way to get rid of spider eyes.
All for it... But I have a chest of spider eyes, what would happen to those? Or just make poison non-splashable?
No. That won't help pvp at all and also, it doesn't take only 4 hits to kill someone. I highly doubt this suggestin will go through by Andrew as he doesn't add useless things that will annoy more people than help.
Although this would be nice it would be denied. The reason this will and would be denied is this server is focused on the economy and in the past Andrewkm has denied suggestions because he isn't going to change the server for something it is not focused on.
You use a fermented spider eye on a night vision potion (which requires a golden carrot) to make an invisibility potion.
No, it will help pvp cause you can sustain a fight longer then 10 seconds. It takes 4 hits, I counted them. Of course str 2 was involved.
I could see this being possible but this is not why PVP is dead whatsoever. It is a combination of very high MCMMO stats (Basically Maxed Out) and how the arenas work. Every time i go into PVP everyone is chilling out beside the arenas entrance, too scared to go in. Then there are the users who just move side to side at the entrance to hit anyone who even slightly enters the arena. And also, if you enter the arena, you can leave it as fast as you went in, or you can run to another entrance and not be attacked. There's no use for PVP when it works like this honestly, its a terrible system on our server in my opinion.
So what we need to also add, I forgot about this, a 2 high wall you drop into when you go to the arena. This way the only way to get out is to die or there can be a ladder or something that takes time to go up.
My general response to this, put bluntly, is, ECC isn't a PVP server. PVP isn't a priority and will likely never be. You just sort of have to live with this sort of stuff.
why can't it be? It would only bring more people into the server? On top of making the pvpers happy. Also, why is there SG then?
This is an economy server, not a PVP server -- PVP doesn't really help the server, and PVP'ers aren't a majority. SG brings in lots of new players AND donations because of kits, so it helps the server.
But kits can often turn off new players. It is an economy server, yes, but however the common purpose we are all here for is fun (or to make money). PvP can be profitable. I don't agree with disabling spider eyes for the sake of pvp but its really hard for someone to say PvP doesn't help the server considering SG IS pvp itself.
You do realize that the reason some people purchase mcmmo donations is for pvp right? Our sg system isn't good, I get killed in 1 hit at 5 hearts, idk why. I guess it's lag. But I do know that adding pvp back with splashes will make more people come. 80% of minecraft is revolved around pvp.
No, in fact it would make more people go in cause they won't have to worry about the other person running right back out. You can ask every single pvper on this server if there should be walls or not, you will get the same answer, hell yes.
