I love the Capture the Flag!! Seasonal Tunnels - why the heck not?? Do it ourselves if Games doesn't get one going again past halloween/Fall season that you have already set up for. They already have the Valentines one. Couple of more seasons based on the same design shouldn't be too hard.... should it? pvp matches scheduled... okay, i guess i can sign up for the chicken level Really not my thing, but recently i did my very first one where Hashhog killed me repeatedly. (staff v world) So, having any kind of chance at a level playing field might be better for me to give it a shot. Horse racing - i think there is already a course set up on Utopia (by player MrAdahzi changed his name?) to where this could be player run right now this instant.
Already Suggested Stable feature for cats and wolves for any type of pet as a matter of fact, I would like to be able to store Baby Pigs, or Polar Bears and have them follow me... Maybe a "Pet Voucher" which makes the pet invulnerable, but makes them follow you (essentially ghosts to their surroundings)... Maybe you can even add "Tricks or poses, the pets can do" in the long future as a cosmetic feature (bought through tokens?). but a PET update would be cool (not priority but cool) * Multiple suggestions have been posted in the past with different ideas, which might be helpful to recall Immediate redemption of supporter vouchers - dupe bugs... Monthly newsletter for announcements would definitely be nice imo, but I know other players do prefer the spam of mini news... Empire shop and empire Olympics I think the Olympics are long overdue, and as for the Empire shop it would be nice to have it back Global chat being worked on already, so... skip Merging SMPs Yes, but with care. More social media presence More social media and DISCORD presence... We have over 1k members in the discord, you can easily ask to get Partnered so you get better resources inside the discord itself. Last announcement made in the discord was made by JDHallows in April... Aikar/Krysyy, I think you need delegate management of the discord to someone who focuses on it specifically because it is a forgotten part of EMC, yet EMC is not made of Minecraft and Code, it is made by the community More frequent development updates Yeah, more updated (public) dev tracker to have transparency on projects... I know Mojang lazy code is the problem, but still, knowing that you fixed their mistakes is good news Spreads events out more over different times Have not been active enough to comment on this I'm going to make a second post sometime this week detailing other stuff which I think should change... but I this suffices for now Glad to see everyone here
Love the Pet option, but don't limit it to passive mobs, Let's get everyone in the game involved. Ooooh we can even have a make a staff your pet for a day prize. Lol. Seriously tho, how cool would it be to have a ghast as a friend? Aww cute lil shy kitty. I love this! The Shop, I miss it too. I wouldn't mind having that one return either. Discord does need some love, on this I agree too. Very solid points here. This is very good. =)
My idea I had was basically a game where people purchased / bid on a container and that container would be given a shulker box with items there would be 4-5 Shulkers each containing different items that would be randomized using a dropper randomizer
I really like these game suggests! The tunnels could also double as museums to promos from holidays past, this would be a cool way to check and see if you have a complete collection without scouring the forums looking for the info.Also new players would get to see some cool things that are All EMC! I really like this thread and this contribution. PVP This is a good one too. I love the class idea. Can I be a poor? Lol, sorry, real life took over for a sec. This is really good tho. I get my but handed to me like a newb, but I'm a boss in the nether. Real people are harder tho, it would be nice to fight in my own weight class from time to time. You know, to build confidence. I wouldn't mind just seeing it even simpler for the old people, maybe like Novice, Pro, End Boss Lol Just my two cents. -V
so this would be staff run where the items were ... "pulled from creative mode" for the contents of these boxes? I wonder if we could bid on these ... with tokens?!? (to finally be able to use them) OR alternatively ---- allow a special section under the Auctions tab to post things in "vault wars" where i cleaned out part of my vault and put it into a box. Bid with no idea what's in it.
It would be cool to expand the use of tokens. I can only purchase so many Avalaunchers and biome changes. Lol Not for nothing, Maybe offer the ability to buy vouchers in the EMC shop when it reopens cough cough, where you can use tokens or rup's to get vouches of all kinds. Tokens def need some love tho. I'm with KdB on this one =)
Okay so this might get lost in the infinite rants but here I go. The whole sense of economy has been destroyed by the release of promos, so in my opinion try hosting more events that earn money over releasing promos. Promos have oversaturated the marketplace economy IMO we need to get rid of them all! Create a system where we convert our tokens into some purchasable items such as Quartz, Diamonds, wood etc...(Priced within reason as well)! That way we can have more items in the market. (The idea of getting our items from "mid-air" that way players who have literally hundreds of thousands can start using them....) We need a basic needs shop to kick start the economy! ***COUGH COUGH COUGH*** All Wood Types (log form) Stone (not hard to obtain bulk amounts more optional) Cobblestone (Not hard to obtain bulk amounts more optional really) Gravel Sand (You can use for making concrete last 2) Brick blocks (Very hard to obtain large amounts) Terracotta (Dye it yourself) Quartz flakes (Lots of red stone items use this, plus building material) Redstone dust (Redstoners dream) Lapis (enchanting purposes and building) Glowstone(A light source block that is sometimes hard to obtain) Diamonds (#1 item in MC) Maybe some of the various mob drops including but not limited to Leather (Used for various crafted items) String ("") Gunpowder (Potions, TNT) Bones (Bonemeal bone blocks) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- So in the response of what we can do from a non-server side code relation. We dont need a big fancy build for this shop. Heck put it on a single res like the OLD EMC SHOP and put some signs up!!! PS. Thanks Katy for linking me to this thread
Blind box sales are currently against the rules. Discussion has been ongoing in SS chat in between other issues on how to possibly change this and allow players to do so, but it has such a large potential for scamming is the primary problem. Changing that rule would snowball to other rules, which is why discussion is taking so long.
I like the idea of more presence on social media, and I think I might be able to contribute to such an endeavour. However, I am not sure how much it will actually do. How many people actually look at these things? Personally, I am not at all a fan of the EMC blog. If it turns out that we gain an estimated 10 new members per blog post, then hey, that's pretty cool. But I feel like it's not doing much, to be honest. Sure, if you search "Minecraft blog" on Google it's likely on the first page, but who that is into Minecraft is also into blogs? It does seem like the Discord is raking in new members, though. I think that's something to focus on instead. Blogs are as old-fashioned as internet fora, Discord is where the kids are at. Oh, wait, no, Discord requires every user to be at least 13 years old. Well, that could be a problem. But maybe kids under 13 are very unlikely to play Java Minecraft anyway, so in that case it's fine. In the community I'm at, most new users come from 9gag. But frankly, that platform is often ridiculed, so I'm not sure if that would be a great space for EMC. Lastly, how about Reddit? I don't know a lot about it myself, but it does seem like a platform that can give exposure.
The youtube official channel hasn't been updated in three years. Spruce that up and start posting a few videos every week, could potentially draw in more people.
Well, I for one am trying to be more chatty and social. I generally only do this in spurts because mostly I like to just quietly work away on my projects, but will do my best to change some more. On the idea of events. For some time it has been put out there that regular players can run events just like staff, however in my opinion (from experience of events I have been at) more often players events never get the participation that a staff hosted event does, maybe they did in the past based on the miner mania posts. Now that I have ample time, I plan to restart a recurring event myself to see how things go, likely at various times based on what I am up to, though this may be good for many time zones. My thought on current Events themselves is that they need to be scheduled and announced In Advance, with locations disclosed clearly and visibly. Short notice events always lack participation for obvious reasons, and some events I find it is often difficult to locate where they are taking place for a number of members. I realize irl schedules make this difficult for many players and staff, but it is telling when you see the attendance.
I also posted on the other thread, but aikar is making a code change hopefully this weekend that is necessary.
(asking here, because this is better bump than that other one.) Bumping the question about the Events calendar changes for Player-hosted Events and other ... alluded to changes. Any news or updates? Also wondering if there was any news on the "pets" stable that was discussed in chat with Aikar the other day.
