So Togeh, Fugner, and I have been testing the IC PVP Server for a few hours. One of the newest plugins we have is Precious Stones. At this time its a kick ass Diamond Block that placed protects a 50x50x31 if I recall area. No one can open your doors, chests, levers, buttons and of course can't break, nuke, tnt, tnt cannon your base. Though the nuke damage might hit you if your near the edge of your base as objects can't stop radiation. So the object is not really about blowing up player bases and etc. But more of Building a base and going out and making new friends and inviting them to work on your base with you and trust them or the other way around and etc. Outside of your base is pure 100% pvp no rules pretty much you get your ass handed to by a pro that is part of the game.. So starting out at the same time is easy but starting out later on is harder... One of the things we have disabled was the Nano Chest and the Quantum Chest to make it more challenging. No more swimming forever in lava and no more afking taking damage forever and also making laser guns a bit more useful in pvp... But don't forget a jetpack might just save your life! Some of the things I think were going to disable just to keep things a bit more lag free and prevent some griefing will be quarries, fillers, quantum chest and we have not decided what else yet. So your suggestions matter to us things that might make things to east to fast or just ruin the game because its a cheat or just cheap... We are looking for your feedback. I was thinking maybe we can find a stats plugin for maybe a leader board and etc. But things like lasers don't count for kills only for the death of the player. So maybe rather then a wall of fame it might be a wall of shame! Anyways would love to get feedback of the community. It's 6am I need sleep. I will be doing testing all afternoon tomorrow starting around 1PM EST.
Something with a points system and divisions sounds like it might be worth trying. I think it might let us post stat's on the forums. http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/simple-pvp-webstats-with-division.49798/
Pistons: Ok You can't push things in or drag things out with pistons / sticky pistons Farms: Ban Farms still destroy blocks and create their relevant block inside the protected area even if another player has placed the farm on the edge of the protected area. Dispenser: Ok Can shoot into base but that's fun RP2 Sub-blocks: Ok Restricted like normal blocks Deployer & Block Breaker: Ok Cannot affect blocks in protected area Water & Lava: Ok Will not flow into secure area if 'placed' by someone else Cant see any other type of block that seems likly to cause or try and cause a problem but i may be missing stuff :s
Random Spawns! This will Spawn you anywhere in the world instead of having a set Spawn Point. When you die, you will Spawn somewhere Random unless you have a bed. Makes it more challenging as well. You would want your map to be 100% rendered out before adding this plugin though, as the constant creation of new chunks isn't great on performance. This also prevents building around the Spawn, bases wont be close to clustered and you have to put more effort into surviving / finding others. I would keep out commands like /home being they allow you to quickly get away from a fight. With Precious Stones I would recommend creating a NoPVP Block, so one could enable / disable PVP in their base, so they can't be snuck up on and killed while in the base. I would use something a bit harder to get though.
This is actually a planned feature for sure. I been saying this none stop it be an amazing idea. If you die random spawn unless you have a bed.
Yeah, just like a one time thing on a weekend. (Spawn get's lava'd after the first day to prevent people starting really late into it)
When will the server go public for testing? Also will we have to play $10 to get on or will be part of the IC server payment?
Will there be travel between the IC PvP and IC PvE worlds with item exchange, like how build and PvP were set up?
I wouldn't mind paying another $10 it does go to support the server, and with more money you could get a better server.
Well if the specs are correct on the "info" page we have a quad core Intel Xeon CPU. A very good processor and 3.4Ghz is a nice speed. But there is alot of room for upgrade, Some people might say and i7 but thats a really bad idea considering your only running a server on it. I my self have 2 w670's. Now you do have 2 options tho get a step up in the CPU or get an additional CPU you don't need any more cores but there a still upgrade options. It might be a bit expensive to do so but if you do charge $10 for the IC PvP you might be able to afford. Oh and if you ever want to be a troll switch the server to an AMD CPU and watch our TPS plummet and everybody get pissed off.
You would be the very few. Right now most don't now might do something for VIP3 but I guess the big part now is try to keep things alive.
