(April Fools!) Patch Preview (P2.5)

[James Undercroft 129]

Finally some sense!

What were they thinking when they introduced all that fancy... store floaty item stuff and their shout channels. All with their cool custom tailored economic system and all that jazz, this is what I am talking about, this is what I came to lord of the craft for!

Skill System max level has been dropped from 275 to 200. Any accounts with more than 200 levels have been reset and given 200 skill credits. This is for game-play balancing.

I was so excited when I read this! No longer do I have to decide on where I should spend my extra 75 points. I no longer have to dabble in mining or fishing, I can just keep to having 100 of two skills!

Map size will be shrunken down to 4,000 x 4,000, just like the Aegis map; this is both for fixes to the latency and to centralize role-playing more on the GM-made structures.

I loved this idea! Player made structures are silly anyway, the whole server is about what the GM's do, not the community!

Keep up the great work Admin team! :lol:

Vaquxine, I'm sure that you feel dropping the max skill level to 200 instead of 275 is better for RP, but to me, and i'm sure there are others who agree, it is far too much. I think that if you did drop it at all, you should drop it to a minimum of 250. I personally want the max skill level to be increased to 300, but i'm sure that won't happen. I want nothing more than better RP (plus more minas for each vote) and more indepth characters.

Hopefully you will take this into account and we can make this server not just the #1 RP Minecraft server, but also the #1 server of all time!

Ahaha, love the changes, Vaq~

Especially the character rerolling, lower map limits, and name changes! :D

Oh, and I love how the people who actually believe this just make it funnier.

[Salamandra 1136]

I think we should make storms last MUCH longer, to provide better RP. I'd say an hour at least?

April Fools trolololols.

Nice touch on all of these, I think they'll give maximum pissing-off effect to those who don't notice it's April 1st XD

-tips her tophat- top drawer gentlemen, I lol'd

[xFrozt 14]

April fools? Cause that actually scared the crap out of me

[Gamil Irongut 4]

I don't like how you have to reroll your character I mean I die a lot from things coming out of nowhere and I don't want to have to start a new character because of that. I don't think anyone will go outside ever again because of fear of death people will have less Rp then.

makes me wonder what people were saying...

Also, I vote to change the alfelfe name to "alfalfa" or "alpaca" is these are much more suitable for the species I will describe only as "Those legolas types."

Here's what I specifically do not like about this patch.

The removal of shout and whisper - Believe it or not Vaq, those channels were actually useful. Two or more characters want to have a private conversation in a bakery.

Increased local chat range? Honestly. I'd rather see it decreased. When I'm RPing with my friends I do not want to get spammed by other players who are not part of our RP, and I'd rather not have other players eavesdrop on our secret conversation. Go somewhere else? It doesn't matter, especially with the increased local range, because someone can just walk by and eavesdrop on our privacy.

The increased mob spawn rates - The mob damage is just too great to increase the spawn. It's not fun to deal with being chased by 4 zombies that hit you with four hearts each, it's going to be insta-death, regardless if armor was involved or not. Either nerf the damage or keep the spawn as it is.

The required reroll on death - People have put months and months of developing their character. No one wants to permanently lose their character because of a death that was from lag or no-rp. This is going to be abused griefers and trolls, and to make matters worse players will powergame their way out of a death.

I've put a lot of work into my character, and I worked very hard into getting my VA for her, hell, maybe I got lucky. I refuse to give it up over a little death from a poisonous spider.

If it's an RP death, then yes, I can understand that, but I refuse to give up a my character because she got attacked by four zombies, or a troll thought it'd be funny to kill me for no reason.

---

You know what? I've noticed that many people are leaving the server. Unfortunately, due to these changes, I may have to leave also. I'm not surprised that many of you considered me as an unimportant person, but if Vaq doesn't change his mind on the required reroll on death, I may be leaving.
