Minecraft Name: FuryFudge Suggestion: That we implement crates on ECC. If you don't know what crates are, they are pretty much chests that spin a "roulette wheel" of some sorts and what it lands on, you get. Usually there are different tiers of how good the crates are. They are opened with crate keys which are usually purchased with real money, not in-game money. For example, there could be a crate that costs $2.00 per key that gives out things like a stack of diamonds/emeralds, some enchanted tools, some in-game cash etc. And then a crate that costs $5.00 per key that gives out the same kind of thing, just of higher quantity/quality. It's all chance, but usually there are some options that you can land on that will make you "profit" in some way. Maybe crate keys could come with lucky votes. (The above prices are just an example, not what I am suggesting.) Reason: I just think this would be an interesting addition, the finer details of the effect it would have on the economy would have to be calculated, but it's another fun way to support the server! Other Information: Let me know what you think, and point out the problems this may cause that I have probably overlooked. Link to this plugin/Is this a custom addition?: There are many crate key plugins, I don't know which one you would like.
So correct me if I'm wrong but you're suggesting crates you buy with real money that give you a random amount of ingame items. Pay to win crates? Spawn in items for irl cash? Um please no -100000000
Although I like the idea of crates. They shouldn't give actual in-game items. That's taking money grabbing to a whole new level.
Items should be obtained in-game. (and they can be obtained in-game, in large amounts, even) The only purpose for this is money grabbing, because the items are ALL obtainable in-game. I can get 2 stacks of diamonds for 4k. It's a waste of money, and thus just stupid money grabbing. It puts ECC in the same group as the shitty servers that sell in-game items for irl money. The only thing I support it with is if you get the crates from voting (with in-game items as rewards) or if the rewards from the crates are limited to donation features or other in-game features. (like maybe an aether rank or something) The crates should contain shit like pets, trails or maybe in-game money. And maybe nstars (because nstars are practically a currency on ECC and have no practical value aside from currency) Nothing stupid like practical in-game items.
I definitely agree with this more than anything else. But I don't think voting crates are ideal given our voting bonuses.
Eh, the voting crates was just an example of something I would be okay with seeing the items suggested.
well if there are crates the way you get keys are by voting there are usually 4 ranks of keys voting,common,rare,and mythical .most servers have crates however if there are crates there should still be nstars
I could definitely see doing something like this with in-game money, or even a custom craftable item (easily done here). I believe with one of the recent updates, you were given the ability to store items in a chest, that's in your inventory. You can do this in Creative mode, with Ctrl+M3 (middle mouse). This could be how we deliver the crates. There could be different tiers, offering different max rewards. You could add custom flags to spawn random enemies, on placement, and stuff like that. Make the average prize worth less than the cost, and it would be any easy, new money sink. Enticing players with that shiny max reward. If CSGO crates tell us anything about people buying something for a small chance to get a big reward, then I'm sure these would sell like hotcakes. Using different tiers to ensure any user, rich or poor, can afford to buy them.
If this was implemented, I would reccommend the Steve Co Crate plugin. I don't know where to find it though.
No, not that one. XD It's an actual plugin that works off the idea that a random person gets a crate every 15 minutes, and that you open them by putting them in your inventory crafting table with a crate key, a voting reward.
