I have been connected to the server for an hour afk, but I have yet to see any of those messages pop-up, so think they might have been fixed now.
Gotta say, I normally wouldn't play minigames but these are fun. Minebomber is probably my favorite although Diamond Run has now grabbed my interest. Golf, Arrow spleef, Rainbow Runner, Chicken Invader, all good games. Havent even got to all of them yet. Fantastic work from those that put so many hours into it.
Awesome work from all of the EMC team, glad to see it all came together well and will be looking forward to returning to play some of these minigames...
Today, Alice and I played on the Games server together. We had a good time! There were two recurrent issues: in the Diamond Run game, no reason is given for losing. Alice and I both often failed, without knowing what we did wrong. A message in chat would be nice. In the Golf game, you can only play holes in older. I am not sure why this is the case. If I want to play hole 6, shouldn't I be able to do so without playing holes 1-5 first? Right now, the paper system is in place. And that works, when playing solo. However, as said, Alice and I were playing together. And it has happened several times, that Alice got a paper when I hit the ball in the hole, and vice versa. Even when we knew it would give the paper to the nearest player, this happened more than once or twice. That is of course a bit annoying. It could be fixed by simply having no requirements at all for playing a hole. I am at the moment in favour of that, as I don't see why you'd need to play holes in order if you don't want to. But, another option would be having the papers droppable, if possible. At first I thought "But then you can give someone your paper so that they can spawn a ball", but that's possible anyway, as you can just as well spawn a ball by pressing the button for another player. So that would also be a solution. But I wouldn't know why the paper system or a similar one is required in the first place.
This is a generally heard opinion, but how do players discover these? Usually you need to catch a players interest in order to attract more. And for players to discover games which might be appealing to them to play/try you first need to have some actual players discover those. (very) Generally speaking players explore these areas on their own to see "what it's like" and based on those experiences they may eventually invite others to come along for the ride. One way to actually experience what it's all about is to actually play a game or two. Yet if that part is somewhat limited the temptation for exploration usually also becomes limited. This becomes different if you get a group who simply sets out "to play games" but I'm not too sure how often that happens. Simply put: single player games usually help out a lot to get players to actually play and experience the whole thing which raises your chances of them inviting others to tag along. That's the part which is often ignored yet gets proven time and time again Of course in this case I don't think it matters too much considering that the main focus of EMC is still based on survival and general Minecraft.
I'm hoping that someone will set up a recurring event, where we go play on the Games server as a group! I've considered doing it myself, but I don't think I should, as I wouldn't be able/willing to organise it consistently. I would love to join in whenever it fits me, though, if someone would organise a weekly event! (something like Friday Night Miners or Tuesday Tree Choppers)
WHOA!!!! This is so cool! I'm very much looking forward to getting on here and playing some games!! Thanks to all the Devs, Staff, and Build team members for making this happen!
Can we have it so that you can't advertise stores or anything related on the Games server, people playing the games probably don't want to see casino or auction ads.
So I have to go to the extra effort to not hear the people who are going to advertise to a server which is 100% detached from the SMP economy? No.
We are discussing this ^ Takes some work to completely remove E chat from 1 server, if thats what you are suggesting?
Simply put ..... yet ANOTHER flash of Brilliance by the Empire !!! I had a chance to explore a bit over the past weekend, and found myself losing HOURS of my day !!! SO much to see, so much to do !!! In addition to the "regular" games like Spleef, PvP or Parkour, the other things available are ...impressive!! Clearly, this work in progress has been given MUCH thought, research and planning ... as is pretty much the MO for any Empire feature, and IMO this can only elevate the Empire to a whole new level. I figure there will need to be a new scale invented to measure the success of this, as the Empire has already set the bar too high for others to reach !!! Nice Work People !!!
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go (go!) You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play!
