Dear Lotc, Why Remove the Nexus


Cornivore

Recommended Posts

Dear Lotc, As you all know Nexus is being removed in 6.0, Why is this a good thing, It is not a good thing. It turns this server into all the other Minecraft servers, with rp. Have you ever gone onto another rp server and found Nexus, the answer is no, and thats what makes Lotc a special place, removing Nexus, removes the Fun aspect of grinding your gear for days, being able to fight, and have to think about your choices. Taking out that grinding makes the server like all the other rp servers. All the Rp crafted items, like all the Food Items, you can no longer be able to rply make your food, so no more difference between Canolie's and pumpkin pies. 

 

Another big factor was Lotc's pvp, it was not like all the kit pvp  servers, or a regular faction server. Taking nexus out gives the pvp goons, the ability to run the server and turn it into a factions server, wars will just be a kit pvp server basically nothing really matters because it took two minuets to mine and craft, it is too simple to just make the regular iron armor. All the fun of being able to grind your gear just to be able to fight, will be gone. Diamond armor can go, but Nexus can not, We all love Nexus the way it is, allowing rp professions so we can have multiple people to do all the tasks, it makes you want to be together not apart, it was a well built oil machine removing it, makes one person to make everything. 

 

 

I was told something that really enlightened me how much nexus was needed, Without nexus the satisfaction or the devastation is gone for losing or gaining gear, now theres no issue in losing gear because it is easy to make, and gaining gear those need because its so easy to craft, nothing would really matter. What would make Lotc different from a factions server. At least in a factions server it makes your loss of gear something, I would rather keep nexus just tweak it in the ways it needs to be tweaked, just remove diamond armor. 

 

 

 

KEEP NEXUS IN 6.0!

It's a good concept on paper, since it gives roles to different members of society. But it was executed so poorly. Thank god its going to be gone.

If you are curious about this decision Sporadic has explained in more detail in his "RNC 4" as a part of the Remove Nexus Club. It goes into details that lead us to such a decision around time constraints, design discussiion as well as the talk of "Minecraft PvP";

We apologize for the inconvenience this update has caused. We have plenty of exciting LotC unique stuff coming down the line that we hope everyone will enjoy and 6.0 will be coming with a host of updates to the rest of our plugins like shops, personas, and a variety of other things as well.

I think it's Cannolis, not Canolie's.

 

Anyways, I don't see why people like the grinding aspect of lotc. How is it fair that you have to grind for 10 hours in order to be competitive?

please, please my man. we have been, as a general community, begging for the removal of nexus for years. While the concept is nice, nothing like this ever works as expected, or works at all. Nexus was neat, but it was not the best for the community. I understand that it is a pain to lose the **** you grinded into for months to gain, yet thats the real reason why we should get rid of it. We shouldn't HAVE to grind like that to get anything decent and to have fun on this server. I, for one, am completely for the removal of Nexus, and I'm glad we're stepping in that direction.

The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for grinding different armors, weapons, and materials.

but greg, why would you want to grind for days to feel proud for some minecraft pixel armor, just to be lost in a WC? why not rp and develop a persona like is the intent of the server? I have nothing against pvp, I enjoy it, but grinding serves no purpose besides keeping players online, and not doing anything beneficial for the heart of the server

 

((btw i just like debating u know i love u greg

I think Nexus really gave PvP (or AFK grind) goons the upper hand on the server. Removing it will be a good thing for all parties involved.

 

The problem with everything being easy to craft can be solved with resource scarcity like in 3.0, but why is it bad that gear is decently easy to obtain? It means that fun skirmishes are more readily available and people can fight without fearing for hours of their work evaporating. Without diamond armor and 30% arrow velocity bows winning people ridiculous 3v10 pvp fights, we can finally relax raid rules.

 

Overall, this is a great change and I like it.
