it depends on what you think the realism : mechanical convenience ratio on the server should be; when players can make their own gear quickly, losing it in a fight isn't so big a deal, but when only certain players can make it and it takes time, it's more precious, so people are less willing to get in a fight because they don't want to waste that time investment. I'm not advocating for this, just pointing out the reality
 

 

But shouldn't this be the case? Weapons and armor should be treated valuably like they were in mideival times, not thrown about in any skirmishes they can get into

While I'm all for some realism in muh rp Lotc is not a real life simulator. Sure we have some similarities to Medieval times but we're also a server of Elves, Dragons, and Cat people so when it comes to making fun over realism I think most of the server can overlook it. Nexus, while a cool concept is just still way to restrictive and skill plugins that restrict so much always leads to triggered masses over losing minemen pixels. If war would be more enjoyable for all parities and people took loss less seriously because of the time investment then i'm all for further editing Nexus in conjunction with War Zone changes.

Maybe I'm just being dumb so feel free to yell nice and good if you find that I am.

 

I personally would like to see wz changed, as a good number does but I want a complete change. Like to a system we had for a very short time so it should be easy to try out.

 

Obviously an issue is people like themselves their pixels which is fine cause let's just be honest here pixels get us all going. Meaning that people won't fight to save their pixels.

 

If any of you recall for a time when the server was switching to 1.9 we had a separate server that had gear that was pre spawned so we could screw around and click each other. Implimenting this would be easy to just have 2 pressure plates in spawn that warp to a war zone.

 

But haunter people bring gear or could steal the gear. Don't you worry friends because this fancy pressure plate uses a command block that also wipes your invintory! Go command blocks. Now to address people stealing from it you simply have it be the only way to leave this area is death. Meaning you can't steal, however there are those crafty buggers who know they have a soul stone. Our crafty team of (who ever the hell made it) actually  already has a server solution to this. Goldstone pillars block ssing so really you can't leave unless you die. Should no one be in the wz there can be a pressure plate that kills you then warps you to spawn so both sides are all nice and pvp'd out.

 

To address the issue of points I personally would like to have it done like this. Done of the teams has to know when the busiest server time is for players. Meaning that you take that chunk of let's say 4 hours. And somewhere in that 4 hours each day gm watches for their 30 or 15 or whatever minutes. This forces groups to be logged on over a spread out amount of time and actively fighting because no one knows when the time for counting is.

 

Anyway this is the two cents of a guy who really shouldn't be listen to have a lovely day.

I don't want to be dismounted over some goober bringing his 12m/s to a warzone and refusing to leave.

The timer will only be active during a set period of time, for example, 5 pm EST - 6 pm EST, in order to avoid the whole capping at midnight issue.

 

Are you forgetting that there are GMT players playing on your server as well? 5-6  pm EST would be like 11 pm to 12 am for us... Which some of us can't do because of strict parents or other stuff happening...

Yes that is not the final decided upon time at all, I simply used it as an example for the discussion is all.
