Your View: Bringing Diamonds Back (Custom Recipies)

[Aislin 4354]

I personally just want to see diamonds back in their previous capacity. They can fit into the nexus pvp plugin:

 

1. Leather armor can be given a speed boost
2. Chain you can sprint normally
3. Iron you sprint normally
4. Diamond you can't sprint

Then it should be coo.

What would give the ability to people which are in leather armour to run faster than people without armour?

[mmat 7460]

For me it all depends on the quantity of diamonds that will be in the mines. If they will be at the same quantity as before then I think diamond armour and weapons should not be re-introduced, however if they will be rarer then I think they should. Diamond armour should be the thing that people aspire to get, people shouldn't be owning a full set of diamond as soon as they join the server, that's what iron should be for. I wouldn't lose any sleep either way though, I'm fine with iron and I'm not too fussed if others have diamond.

How about this. Since mining diamonds only really gives you teeny tiny little shards, it should be that in order to make an item you have to use diamond blocks instead of raw diamonds. This would make diamond tools much more valuable as people will have to mine nine times as much to make their tools. Because really, diamonds are very rare and only form in tiny pieces.

 

This would also give even more value to the tools, as well as iron bars should be used instead of sticks for the shaft of the item. A wooden handle with a diamond axe head seems a bit dumb, ya know?

 

This is just my opinion on the matter.

Remove diamond axe... it may be used as a weapon and I just don't like it for some reason.

This. This so much.

No diamond swords...no point. Right now people die at a somewhat fast speed but giving everyone diamond swords without the next level of armor means everyone would die even faster.

 

In short diamond swords are way to OP and are not needed on this server just because people want them for when they pvp. At best anything better then iron should be so rare as to only 1 in 15-20 people on a battle field ever have one. If we add diamond swords and then diamonds as they were intended to be added diamond swords would be too common.

 

 

The rest I'm fine with

[Kaun 102]

Like we've been saying for the past few months, we're still interested in getting diamonds back into the server, moreso now that we have a mining system that could handle them.

 

I'll compile a list of all the suggestions in the OP, but for now:

 

No diamond armor or swords!

 

 

• Diamond Axe - same
• Diamond Shovel - same
• Diamond Pickaxe - same
• Diamond Hoe - same

-

 

• Grappling Hook - 1 diamond, 2 iron ingots or 2 iron bars? - 3 enderpearls (remove enderpearls dropping from endermen) - Ever

I agree with bringing diamond MCly, back into the game, but perhaps we can have another name for it RPly. Like Saphire or something. Something other than diamond. Because, diamonds themselves are to be VERY rare, no matter where it is. People running around with even a shovel, is just unbelievable. If you look at the IRL size of a shovel, its impossible to believe its real.

Support, but also it would be good for diamond swords or armor too considering you'd have to work your butt off to try and get a full set.

Grappling hooks should either remain siege only or... Become hideously expensive.

 

I don't think they should be siege only or expensive. A traditional grappling hook is fairly cheap to make....However

 

They should be extremely difficult to use, Someone with no training or even very little training in climbing attempting to use a grappling hook to overcome a sheer wall would be almost impossible, with the likelihood of falling to your death or becoming completely exhausted from the attempt. Military units around the world train on straight vertical climbs and even the smaller sized walls have a great toll on your body.

 

Then there is the issue of security, you might think you grappled a good place atop a wall...when actually its just slightly snagged waiting for you to shift the weight a tiny amount half way up...then come slipping down.

 

Walls can easily be made so that grappling hooks are completely ineffective. and we would trust the GM's to be fair and give a large possibility of outcomes for there use. Not just a "Roll a d20, anything above 10 succeeds"

 

How nice would it be to see a chest at the bottom of your wall some morning with a sign reading "Poor thief thought he could climb your wall.....seems the slippery slime ooze you placed near the top did its work" Enjoy the free loot!

[Raxxtus 24]

That's actually not a bad idea, domain. I'd be all for it. It could add a bunch of new RP, but I still think that they should be slightly expensive.

 

Perhaps add different tiers of grappling hooks, adding durability with the higher, more expensive ones. Also, with the better quality hooks, it could be made so that you have a better chance of not falling as you ascend the wall or something along those lines. But then the good grappling hooks would be "hideously expensive" as Supremacy puts it.

It just leads to min-maxing, as we saw with brews. 

[Saluka 0]

Personally, I do not see the point in ringing the swords back into the game..they"re just way too op and we should just stick with iron swords. However, I'm all for the diamond tools, work more efficiently.

[Destroyer_Bravo 1054]

You get min-maxing in everything where there's a possibility for "the best". The dump stat, the unused bloodline, the loss lf one good thing for sother better thing, you can't avoid it, just saying.
