We've noticed a recent decline in players which is extremely unfortunate, we used to pride ourselves on having such a tight-knit server community and we'd still like to continue with that. So we'd like to know what you want to see around the server, don't be shy to give us an idea about things that we can do to improve and make your OSB experience a lot better!
Could you elaborate on what that'd do? It sounds like a lazy way of someone warping to shop then making a quick buck without leaving their island. Unless I'm mistaken, please further explain.
/warp Halloween gave me the idea of adding a server neighborhood, Where, Like the plot shop, Players could buy spaces to build a house. Instead of being set up like a grid, It could be set up like a street. Players could show off their favorite house builds. This could help players express their building style, And show pride in their work. It could even be decorated for the holidays. Just something I thought would be nice.
It’s exactly how you explained it, but try to look at it from my perspective. I have stacks upon stacks of items I want to sell. I’m about to go to the shop for the 20th time to sell more of the item when I realise I’ve spent an hour doing this and have hardly made a profit. People lose interest so they stop playing. I’ve heard a lot of players voice their opinion in favour of adding it over my time on OSB. You guys asked for what we would like to see and this is something I, along with plenty of others, would like.
1) Challenge rewards are kind of lame. Very underwhelming. Repeat rewards could be better, especially if you added a very small chance to get something rare. It could encourage more diverse farming. 2) Instead of manually nerfing shop prices, install a plugin that monitors how often certain things are bought and sold at the shop. If something is sold too often, the plugin slowly reduces its price. If something is bought too often, the plugin slowly raises its price. This will have the effect of forcing people to make a wider variety of farms, and to have to adapt to the changing market. 3) When voting, people can get /kit spawner. But if they get it a 2nd time, it's completely wasted. You should replace that with a real reward to encourage ongoing voting. 4) MCMMO could add a new level of grinding and skills to skyblock. 5) /findwarps command for locating all the warps on an island. 6) /warptop: Tracks the most popular warps, based on number of unique players who visit per day / week / month. This would help generate a nice list of places to visit. 7) The ability to buy crate keys, perhaps in donor shop, with in game money.
You have some very good points! I want to reply to each point in its own: 1. I highly agree. The rewards changed a bit after the reset and it seems like the rewards are worst so I do think we need to make them better. 2. I think this is a good idea, but in our staff discussion we recently decided not to nerf prices anymore because people should be able to make money and not be afraid of the prices being nerfed due to their hard work. I do like the idea of this kind of plugin though because it would cause some variety in what is the main source of income for the server, causing a variety in farms. On the other hand, the influx of prices could end up being really bad. 3. People are able to "get lucky" and receive diamonds and extra money, but I think adding something like maybe a spawner once in a while or something would be cool. Good idea. 4. MCMMO could be interesting, but we have discussed possibly doing this before, and the majority of us decided that it wouldn't be the best thing for a skyblock server. We can try to talk about it again though to see if anyone would like to try it now. 5. I REALLY like this. I think it would be super cool. We do have a lot of problems with people randomly making warps on people's islands without the owner knowing, so this would be really good for people who try to not have warps/want to only keep certain warps. 6. Again, I REALLY like this. I think it would also cause a bit of competition, just like /baltop and /is top do, causing more people to work on having really good warps. It would also make it easier to find the shops you are looking for since it's so dang hard once the /warp list gets long. Good idea. 7. I'm not too sure how I feel about this one. I can see both sides. Not everyone is able to just buy golden/rare crate keys. At the same time, this is why we have different types of crates and make it possible to win golden/rare crate keys in the other crates. Before the reset, crates absolutely broke the economy because you could easily get valuables like spawners and beacons through the vote crate keys. We wanted to make it a bit more of a challenge to get these things, but I also think we may have made it a little too difficult. If we were to add crate keys to one of the shops for people to be able to buy with in game money, it would be a completely new kind of key, none of the already existing ones since they all of their ways of getting them. I think it would be cool to have a new one though, so good idea. Thank you for all of the ideas :d
I am a big fan of your 'points', Amanda! I would like to add 3 more: 1. People get bored very easily when they ain't got a project to work on, so how about making a lot of minigames where people can earn a lot of money! This would be really much fun for everyone and a great way of making money while just having fun. I would like to help you guys build these games, because that's what I do on a lot of servers and I'm really good at it. 2. How about making it easy for people to make money, but also make everything pretty expensive. This will keep the economy running much better and people will be more active to keep gathering money. 3. Maybe it would be really cool to be able to get more islands. Maybe by buying them for a lot of money somehow or just by putting them in the ranks, like 1 extra Island for extreme and another extra one for overlord. I hope these suggestions are usefull. And if any staff member would like to see some games I have created, just let me know and I will let you know on Skype how to check it out. -zjobke ps. I'm not a big fan of MCMMO...
I also had another idea for the minigames. It would be really cool that if you do minigames you get points or something and that u can buy upgrades for the games so u can become better at it and stuff. And you can also buy skyblock-Money with these points. And with upgrades I mean things like speed in tnt run or snowballs in spleef and that kinda stuff.
I'm so excited for more mini games, I currently have a list going of mini games I want to put on the server. I'm also taking players ideas of what mini games they want to see; so if anyone has an idea please mail me on the server with what mini games you would like, and I will gladly look into getting them enabled.
