Introducing "Community Perks"

  1. while living in the wild for X days would be nice, it would take too much to implement :(

    Lightning creeper is nice but not really worth a server wide perk -- but if we ever go down the road of achievements that would be nice!

    And as for endportals, they are all already generated, so no new ones can be created.

  2. Wouldn't fly huh? What about X minutes with flying enabled? :D
  3. No, this is not even being considered.
  4. What about just in town? Flying in the wild would be dangerous, since you can die from fall damage there.
  5. Perhaps the staff may give this as a reward for something in the future; but the ability for Everyone to fly in town is dangerous
  6. I think flying would be fun, it could just be for like 1 minute. Or what about being able to jump higher, like 5 blocks instead of 1?
  7. Sounds like a good idea to me!
  8. I have an idea, which isnt really useful to people, but maybe when you complete a task and finish the tomb or whatever you can go back to town and the amount of rupees you get in the x amount of time is doubled, its kinda a sucky idea but I got it from some video game :p *steeaaaallll*
  9. [off topic] I missed another party thing!? *glares at ICC's sig*
  10. What's wrong with including flying in town? You would be able to explore others epic creations with a lot more freedom. Which I think will give you a greater appreciation of the build. Also even more epic creations could be built as a result of this unlocked freedom. Only for town of course.

    Edit, aikar maybe even just in your own res. Since you are working on the residence plug in this could be some food for thought.
  11. Quick question, With the ways to purchase land will you be able to teleport there like in town?
  12. i thought of that too, but imagine this scenario .... all you do is buy and sell a bunch of diamonds or sticky pistons ... then after just a few seconds or minutes ... you could possibly reach max rupee limit ... it would be 'too much' of an advantage ... that's why i'm thinking the community perk thing can be taken advantage of too easily if it deals with money or xp ... tha'ts why i'm thinking ... maybe everyone should just recieve for every player that participated like a free diamond or 50r for everyone that participated or something instead of a time frame ...
  13. I think the lightning creeper one should count, it's a very rare spawn, how about only if you kill it bare handed though!

    As for endportals, yes they are generated, but not open at start. We will have map resets eventually, and it does take a bit of work to find them and open them.

    I also had a thought to bring back EMC staff ran spleef for a single large tourney. Maybe a buff at tourney's end.
  14. We pregenerate the maps so they are already discovered before the players are let on the server.

    As for spleef, where is Amadai :(

  15. I want to know this as well, I never knew her while she was active...
  16. Sounds Awesome! Great idea guys! Keep the good ideas coming!
  17. I have a couple comments. First, about EMC not being vanilla. The way I see it, EMC generally tries to offer a vanilla-like experience, but is not above modifying the servers to protect against the negative aspects of a multiplayer experience. For instance, towns is for guarding your items and creations. I think we need these Ender Dragon fights because each server can only spawn one dragon and one egg. If you ask me, it's more vanilla that everyone has the chance to fight the dragon and get an egg.

    The other thing I wanted to say was that if a speed potion perk was ever implemented, can we please get some sort of warning before it goes into effect? I can just see doing something around lava and getting that unexpected boost and bad things happening...
  18. Sounds hard. But you should edit skeletons and zombies to have different weaponary and armor. For example: A skelton with Iron armor and a rapid fire crossbow as a boss. It gives the group a huge challenge.
