Community Brainstorming Session 101

Discussion in 'Community Discussion' started by Krysyy, Apr 21, 2014.

  1. A Games World IS planned :)
  2. Here are my suggestions:

    1. Make taking horses from town to waste/frontier easier. The teleports are too small for horses and /waste or /wild takes you to random spawn locations. If you get off a horse in wild or waste spawn area, its difficult to get back on because of no build restriction. Maybe lower the cost a little for summoning a horse outside of town or make the cost cheaper or free for supporters.

    (Update: RainbowChin and ItsMeMatheus told me to use the /wild e, s, n, w, c commands while sitting on the horse to take the horse to a specific spawn location, same for /waste. Thank you for the information, this solves my problem.)

    2. Make a separate forum for horse related tips, discussion etc.

    3. Some residences that are just magnificent get reset when they go derelict...Maybe staff members could designate some residences historical and make them the last to be reset or be forceclaimed. This would only be for truly monumental builds.

    4. Have teams of volunteers clean up areas immediately outside of frontier spawns by removing unsightly abandoned structures and filling in holes with dirt. These designated teams would not be charged with griefing for removing structures that are already half destroyed. Now that we have the wastelands, it should be easier to maintain the areas around these spawns.

    5. Make it possible to have town chat turned off, but local or residence chat turned on. It gets difficult to follow conversations sometimes. Also have the mods encourage people to use r chat or group chat for extended conversations.

    6. This is silly, but I would like to see the the iron supporters names stand out more, the gray just doesn't look special.

    I hope some of these ideas are helpful!

  3. -What do you want to see on the Empire?

    More spawn points in the waste. Not too many but when visiting the waste to mine, it would be great to be able to mine away from previously mined areas without having to run miles.

    -What do you want to see on the Forums?

    No aggression or arguing, it's an amazing game so they shouldn't be any reason to argue. So maybe some moderating on a daily basis?

    -What contests do you want to see hosted?

    Obstacle courses? So kind of like a flat version of parkour so that players can race each other and get rewards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.. No swift potions though! ;-)

    -What buildings do you want on 120 x 120 residences?

    Would be good to have a variety of outdoor leisure facilities open to all. So maybe things like a large park or a sculpture trail. I personally have a few things that I will be making on my res in the future that I think many will enjoy. Also, how about a large water park with loads of water slides etc :)


    -What else did I not mention?

    I don't think that there is anyway to do this but would be absolutely amazing to have scattered enderchest points in the wild.. Separate to spawn points. Just an idea as I am currently stuck in the wild on one of the servers as lost my enderchest after falling in lava :) I am miles away from anywhere so am currently chilling with the wolves plotting my escape! Very time consuming but I expect there would be no way to add this?
  4. We do generally try to keep excessive drama out of the forums, and the game. But at the same time, it's important that players have the freedom to debate things and solve problems. There's nothing wrong with lots of passion and strong opinions. So long as there's no hate, or personal insults going on, and people are not simply creating drama for the drama, discussion is good.
    It is far better to guide someone on how to discuss things productively than to simply tell them to shush. :) IMO anyway. I believe many of the great accomplishments in EMC came from a passion to code, to build, to theorise, to socialise, to create. Sometimes that passion spills into unproductive drama. :) I'm hoping the product of this great thread will be more fun outlets for people to express themselves, and less time to create drama. :p

    If you see what you believe is some problem arguing, report the post, we'll deal with it asap.

    A few players have created various 'outposts' in the waste. I know I have left dozens of mining houses around. With furnaces, chests, enderchest, portals to the nether, lit up with restricted access (door). Feel free to build your own :) or find some friends and get together for a mining expedition, bring supplies.

  5. I'd like the ability to sell a residence to another user.

    Also, it seems like when I go to the wasteland, I don't go back to the last one I was at, I go to a random one, that really upsets my son when he gets killed and then can't find where he was.

  6. You can just unclaim your residence, after the person who bought your residence has payed you..
    But I like your second idea. It won't be such a big problem for me, but that would be a nice feature :)
  7. /waste n
    /waste e
    etc...

  8. Yes, but then it gets reset.
  9. Nice. Thanks, but there is a difference between what he means and what you just said.
    Also, where is /waste "x" , mentioned ?
  10. Why would you sell your residence with stuff you've build ?
    And or, why would he/she buy it with your stuff on it ?
    It seems obvious that when you sell your residence, the buyer wants to build hes own stuff on it..
  11. Well See, if your residence was really cool, maybe somebody would like to buy your creation. Or say if you were going to stop playing it might be nice if your creation lived on. It would just be a nice option to have.

  12. The ability to teleport to outposts. It could be a block or a specially placed portal at the outpost but would cost rupees to place and maybe a monthly rupee charge so that people arnt just placing them anywhere.
    There could be portal room or a portal building in the town with a portal for each outpost. For a higher monthly charge portal owners could limit who has access to the portal.
  13. We have the /stable commands, which can be used to store or summon your horse. It's completely free in town and 100r per summon in the wilderness.
    Taken from the wiki:
    • /stable - views the horses in your stable
    • /stable store - stores currently mounted horse
    • /stable summon [#] - summons a horse at your current location
  14. I agree :-D I think that passion and opinions are very important indeed... Was referring to direct insults that I read but I don't think that happens very often! I'm relatively new to the forums so haven't read many threads yet :-p

  15. Yes I'm aware of this...Its just 100r is very expensive for me to summon my horse in the wild, lol. It would be nice if the teleports worked for horses or if I could mount the horse and go to a specific waste/wild spawn point instead of a a random one. Im not asking for it to be free to summon everywhere, just to be able to get the horse to a specific spawn location easily. Its just a suggestion. :) Once im in the wild away from spawn, I understand a fee to summon at a non spawn location.
  16. You can /wild when riding your horse and the horse will go with you.
  17. Ive had the same problem when I didn't pay attention to which spawn I landed at. It can be very frustrating.
  18. -What do you want to see on the Empire? Dragon Tombs, that would flame my enjoyment for minecraft again!
    -What do you want to see on the Forums? The forums are fine as is
    -What contests do you want to see hosted? Contests just mae people complain > : P
    -What buildings do you want on 120 x 120 residences? Uhhh... Did I miss this part?....
    -What else did I not mention? Nothing

    This was filled out in a records time of fast.
  19. ...o3o...Random status effects. Say like a zombie "bites" you, you may get stuck with hunger until you can find a "vaccine" or such to cure it. Or arrows can cause a bleeding effect. Endermen could have a chance of causing blindness, blazes could cause dizzy and/or nausea because of being made of flames and giving off carbon dioxide and such.. Enraged mobs could have a slightly higher proc rate for the effects. This could even be a possible feature in the mythical dystopia server..

  20. Yes to a random spawn point...some of which are under water lol. If I want to go to center or east spawn., I have to type /wild over and over again until I get the correct one at random.
