I 110% agree. @JamieSinn please man. What is going on?

 

I think if we are to add more minigames, they need to be quick and fun

the problem with vmr is that new players realize they have to play 24/7 for a week to have a chance, and hardly anyone has that kind of dedication towards a server they’ve never played on

 

All we were told was skyblock and another “main server” of the AEM Network

 

So let's just say all of this works out and we get 100s of players with all of these mini games, what happens to the main server? Nothing they join it an realize how stale it is and how pay to win it is. Then they leave.. I hate to break it to everyone but I don't think these mini games are going to help.
Or less we want to be the next shot bow network..go for it. Might have to get a second dev though..

 

if we get 100s of players that would mean making a lot more money that we could use to hire a second developer for the main server

Ask specific questions, and I'll answer them. I'm not going to give a vague answer to a vague question.

 

Is skyblock going to be coming to ECC at all YES OR NO?

 

Yes

 

What you should of asked is it coming out in 2018 LOL

 

I agree 100% dont think mini games will solve much. We need to fix the main server then players will return its quite simple nothing hard about it.

 

Then tell us, SPECIFICALLY, what will solve the problem. Sitting around and saying "fix this" does nothing. If you think something needs changes, give SPECIFIC examples as to what.

 

I have pointed out major issues in the past so have other people. Things need to change i will type up a post when i get a chance and link every dam suggestion/issue lol.

Main issue is pay to win and things not getting done.. and you 2 not willing to let other devs help if you have no time yourselves. You guys are to suborn and stuck in your ways thats why nothing will ever change.

 

Working on that. Not something we can immediately fix, and you know this.

Have you heard of this magical thing called real life ? Andrew and I happen to have one, each!

So, you want us to bring on other devs that I would have to train on our entirely custom infrastructure, andrew would have to train them on our standards and practices, as well as expected results, and then tell them we can't pay them? Great idea.

If we were stubborn, and things wouldn't change, why on earth did VMR come out at all? Why did lobby come out at all? Why did we buy AEM?


You want answers, ask questions that are specific, don't rag on us because things aren't being done your way.

 

Well, just my thought here but, yeah it would be a great idea. Everyone knows you and Andrew have lives which is why training a few professional developers to help in certain areas would be a good idea. They don't have to be trained in everything. It would solve the problems of content not being released fast enough to appeal to new players/returning players, the strain/stress both you and Andrew endure in working on an entire server with all the custom content that ECC holds and surely it will solve many other problems.

Many other servers do this and succeed. Most of them servers train the Devs to do certain jobs which would yes, be time consuming whilst training them of ECC's 'Standards and Practices' but the results would be really beneficially to not only the server but to you and Andrew as well.

In terms of not being able to pay them, I'm sure you could figure out a system... The staff team don't get paid and look at how much SAs take on.. They still do it, so I'm sure things could be settled there.

 

This is going past the scope of this thread. If this is something you want discussed, please make a new thread.

 

No need to do that, I just wanted to state my opinion on what I read in here. You can either take it into consideration or ignore it :)

 

1 Yes its hard to un do pay to win but the problem is we keep adding new things such as star crates ect so its making it worse.

2 Yes exactly hence why we need to get more people to help work on the server.

3 yes exactly thats how other servers do it would benefit the server and is worth the time and effort. Also i am sure with all the donation money you guys get and have saved you could pay them a Little nothing crazy.

4 The whole AEM thing is a fail you guys took to long to put their game modes up 70% of the users have moved on. As for VMR it was a decent idea but it does get boring.

 

Jamie, is there a general timeline for things being worked on? I don't want or expect ETA, just knowing how everything will flow.
