I second this. Its already begun to frustrate me.

 

I second this as well. It would be really hard to tell who is who...

 

I agree with this i think as they become more popular they will become an irritant and a way to hide them seems like a good idea.

 

Yeah, I can see this being a bigger and bigger problem as more people buy the rank. +1

 

I personally think it should be gotten rid of entirely. A $50 credit applied to those that have pruchased it. Like Falconaire and Revan said, it is going to become more popular and too many nicknames to keep track of. Even with 2 or 3, I can't keep them straight.

Edit: Should I suggest this? Like if so. Thank you!

 

• It is now impossible to figure out who is who if they have a nametag and in vanish.
• Moderating would be harder since if someone spammed with a nickname on and immediately changed it, using /realname wouldn't work. (not too sure about this)
• Causes too much chaos

It's simply annoying and you should either be able to hide them or the feature should be removed.

+1.

 

Seeing the feature upset me, from a non-Staff standpoint... From a Staff standpoint, it made me want to pull my hair out.

I've seen nickname features on servers before, and even when expensive and few people have them, they were nearly impossible to moderate. I can't even imagine trying to moderate the whole impersonation thing...

If there cannot be a command for hiding all nicknames, I propose the nickname command adding a * or something in someone's name if they are nicknamed (note: I haven't been in-game yet to see how it works..if it already does this, ignore me).

 

Yeah, people with nicknames will appear as

**nickname: blah

 

I feel that the donation feature should be removed entirely. I felt the same way when buying mcMMO levels was released, and so did a lot of other people. I believe that there should have been a poll before this. It's way too easy to impersonate people and causes a lot of confusion for no reason to an already chaotic chat system. If the server needs more money, I think everyone should collaborate on an effective, fun solution rather than a game-breaking one (two).

Just my opinions,

+1. Nicknames are getting extremely annoying. It would be nice if there was a way to toggle viewing nicknames. I am not even sure why Andrew included this.

 

This is horrible. More then mcmmo levels

 

Nicknames will definitely break the game. If not directly, then slowly over time. A great chat is one of the reasons people play ECC. Allowing people to change the color of their name removes much of the incentive to move up higher ranks since everyone will now have all kinds of colors. Having an orange color won't mean as much. Also, nicknames is just simply annoying overall. I agree that the feature should be removed from the game and people should be issued refunds. Preferably earlier than later, before it becomes too hard to reverse.

 

AudioMixer agreed. We have put way too many game-breaking features into EcoCityCraft. If it was up to me, we would remove all eff 7 tools, mcMMO levels, nicknames, mcMMO bonus, etc. Honestly, I can see us being able to purchase nether stars within the next 6 months.

(How is this game-breaking? Well, instead of having to work for upwards of 50 hours to obtain a cool tag such as $EcoLeader$, someone who makes $50/hr IRL can get an awesome name in one hour!)

Please, please remove this feature before it is too late. Don't let these donations be too advantageous. Don't make success buyable in EcoCityCraft.

EDIT: Just saw the part about making it a donation feature to gain the ability to remove a donation feature. I don't think there should be a donation feature that conflicts with another one; simply remove this feature and either a) refund all money or b) apply a $50 giftcard to all buyers of this feature.

 

Edit.

 

This only stops one user from seeing your nickname, I dont see why it should effect you in such massive ways?

 

oh oops nvm then

 

1- it cost the user 50-100 usd (around 300-600 in game money) and it will effect since all will turn the nick off so
What's the point with it then?
I think mod can get this for a Easyer job still

 

First of all there are not too many game breaking features in the game. Sorry but this opinion is based on what? I am glad it is not up to you because the removal of the features that you propose are bogus. To start the eff 7 tools with the exception of the eff 7 pick do not have much of an impact if at all on the server. Eff 7 picks do mine faster (stones lol that's it stones) but their use is not specifically only usable in the mining world. There are many other things that can be done with an eff 7 pick like clearing out towns, destroying massive structures in a fraction of the time for lwc removals, the list can go on. It is not just a ore making machine. So get over the fact that you do not have one thus lowering your chances of doing said above things. If the eff 7 were removed I would suggest removing the melon sword. Oh wait that is preposterous right well that is where your logic is heading. What the melon sword is the farmers the eff 7 pick is the miners so get over it. Oh one last thing an eff 7 pick is $525,000 ecodollars to buy in current value nstars ponder that for a bit.

Secondly the "issues" with mcmmo bonus and mcmmo levels are not issues at all. They were discussed and conditioned to a general satisfaction well the levels were at least mcmmo bonus had nothing wrong to begin with. Even people like Zard who train all their skills ended up being even slightly satisfied with the results of its final form. Also what is it to you if someone wants to spend money to buy 1000 fishing because they just cannot afford to spend literally months fishing alone with their real lives. More power to them, they do not get added to mcmmo leaderboards for that ability and frankly I think that is a good trade off.

Thirdly Andrew will not sell nstars. He knows how an economy works and selling nstars will just deflate the price of them so much that they will become like diamonds are now and ruin the market for the pricey star shops items as well. He won't do this.

Now on to the op you are assuming that the some person makes $50/hour rl I am not sure where you are from but $50/hour is a pretty legit job. Not many get that much money per hour some are lucky to make that much a day. The average person is usually on minimum wage and make $7-11 an hour depending on the state sometimes more sometimes less. I digress so what if they use that money to pay for a $100 feature. We do that already with extcommands+ do you want that "OP" feature removed as well. Go back to repairing tools on an anvil? That is where your logic is leading.

This feature is like a double-edged sword. It has many fun qualities that I think would be worthy of buying. I personally wouldn't mind being able to change my name up and even the color of it just for fun. I believe also that this feature would bring in significant money to support the server and I am all for this server. If you don't like that fact get out. On the other hand this feature does have its drawbacks, it can and will be manipulating maliciously by children and even some adults sadly. But I do feel that there can be counter measures to this. Like giving mods the ability to be able to see all names as if they did not have the nickname in dealing with their corresponding complains and such. Also the ability to toggle off nicknames for us regular members would be nice as well especially when doing transactions. I personally would only toggle when I did transactions then I would turn them back on plain and simple as that. This would also prevent that other user from trying to get an upper hand on me. If this is not possible I can just suggest doing /realname <nickname> before bothering with transactions so that you can see who it is, screenshot then continue with your transaction.

I think that this wall of text should be enough for now, if you want to butt heads with me over it why not pm me and I can straiten out any frustrations you had with my responses.

 

May have been said, but just make it so they can change the color of their name instead? Bold it, underline it?
