As you know, the 3 Elytra wings have been found. You may also know that Gildor has already lost his haha. So this leaves 2 Elytra wings remaining on the entire server. I hope you all agree when I say we absolutely need an alternative way to obtain them. I like the idea of Elytra being rare but these 2 remaining Elytra will never been seen or used as they’re too rare to risk losing, basically they have become 2 rare unusable artifacts. Elytra wings are fun! We want them to become part of the server but with this little amount left, they simply won’t be seen. The suggestion of trading god apples for them was a great suggestion, this would encourage people to dispose of their unfair advantage in exchange for a new fun feature that we want to see people using. We could also have them as a donation reward.. Another suggestion is being able to buy them for 5k – 10k in game money.. What does everyone think? Yeah man, we all know that they are rare! I would like to keep them really really rare though. If they have all be found then maybe offering them at the cove or something is an option, just dousnt seem that well thought out though. each player only needs 1 set; so 10k isnt that much.
10k sounds really pricey. I think they would be better in the realm of donation rewards (or like the villager eggs, they cost extra) or a price somewhere in the range or 6-7k
Being so early on; just after the elytra being released, we still dont know how it can be exploited in multiplayer game-play, making it really available could be drastic if later on an exploit is found. I know that everyone wants some wings to fly around, as its so much fun! I think we should keep this thread open, so far the options that have been given are:
- Sell for in-game money at £10,000 a pop, at the cove maybe; not entirely liking this idea.
- Donator gift for extra £; Not a massive fan of this either at this stage, this is then only limited to donators.
- Crafting is a definite no no on my list.
1.9 Mending enhancement:
Mending uses XP to auto-repair your tools/armour; this is the next Gapple; the fact players can store XP in bottles on PirateCraft, and have mob farms, means they could have a home set in a mob farm/XP room, and TP to this in a fight to fix all their armour then /back! Whats worse is that mending can be found from villagers, I say this should be completely disabled.
Its a shame, for PVP on a server like this it would be OP, but, for mining, it’s invaluable.
I agree, but we all know it would be abused.
I might have an idea for the elytra:
We want to keep it extra rare and hard to obtain.
Plus buying it or donating for it would allow way to many of them to appear and limit them to some rich/donating players…as well as crafting.
I want to suggest an event.
Staff and some trusted players could set up a dungeon on a certain island in the end.
The dungeon could be filled with mobs and maybe a custom Boss-mob.
Finding the way through the dungeon and killing the Boss could grant acces to a chest which contains some rare loot and the elytra.Depending on how many elytras you want you could fill the chest once a week or only once a month or even rarer.
This way everyone had a chance and teamplay could get a boost.I hope you like the idea.
From what I can tell it seems that you may have nerfed the crap out of hoppers and played around with redstone a bit.
See this is an issue, players get confused when people make up complete crap from thin air like this, its starting to really annoy me; Obviously if I changed anything I would post it in the updates forum, I have no touched redstone or hoppers, so do not go spreading around false information.
Without sounding naggy, are we introducing some sort of musket plugin with 1.9? Since everyone is still getting to grips with the new combat mechanics, it seems the ideal time to introduce a slightly more powerful ranged weapon.
Yeah man; we cant at present, as mojang screwed up marjory with performance, we used to be running at 20/20tps with 50 players on; Now after updating to 1.9, were on 13tps with 30 players on, getting to 60 players and the tps is 9/20, which is terrible; and most likely explains the slow hoppers/redstone DanielMclachlen accused me of nerfing. The performance is 80% Tick entities, mostly hoppers; someone really screwed up at mojang with this update.
Depending on how many elytras you want you could fill the chest once a week or only once a month or even rarer. This way everyone had a chance and teamplay could get a boost.
I don’t like this idea; at least with selling everyone has a chance and its not timezone orientated, plus selling keeps a log.
We could offer elytras as the BOTM first place reward?
This is a great idea, but the problem is I no longer have a server photographer or blog writer, both are needed to handle BOTM competitions; It drives me crazy that I cant find a consistent good quality photographer, I would have assumed there would be tonnes! Not a single one has done more than 1 month of BOTM; I miss SuperGL running the show, me and him cracked out an entire years of BOTM while also running, maintaining and managing piratecraft services and players. I need a high quality, consistent server photographer & writer; Charlie has been consistent and quality but I think he’s decided to pack in PirateCraft 🙁
Redstone and hoppers are nerfed? Out of curiosity, how have they been changed?
No they haven’t, its @DanielMclachlen making this up out of thin air; see @DanielMclachlen when you start making crap up then people get confused.
I’m surprised that the new mending would make PVP imbalanced. All you have to do to fix your gear normally is grab a few diamonds, some XP bottles and use an anvil. The risk in PVP is not so much having armour break (God gear takes AGES to deteriorate), but rather being killed. Am I missing something?
About 10 mins after I posted that forum thread, I chatted with Vape and we decided that we wouldn’t touch mending; that decisions already been made, so no worry there.
For a sort of “Boss Fight” thing can u make a custom Ender Dragon that is more OP than the current one is, and have it drop an elytra?
Extra plugin needed or can this be done in Vanilla? I know you can edit the droptables manually now in 1.9; Its quite cheap to spawn a dragon though; which then makes the elytra worthless, as the dragon is very easy to beat too, it needs to be a hard to obtain item.
@GodsDead I don’t make things up out of thin air I have sources who I consider reliable. This also was not a question from just me but many players. If it’s not something you did then I’ll just but it out there as a statement. 1.9 came and redstone got stabbed in the chest. Just wanted to put the problem out there. I like to be helpful but please don’t treat me like a child when I get one part of it wrong. You not being the one who did it doesn’t mean it aint broke. Anyway I’m liking the other thoughts you’re tossing around for the Elytra and stuff and agree it needs to be very hard to get.
Whats your source? Im pretty sure I would know If I changed hoppers or redstone mechanics….then again all that rum may have taken a toll on the old brain. Don’t misunderstand; my point being, is that posting statements like that confuses players, literally case in point, paul was asking (sorry to drag you into this paul). And its starting to really piss me off people just keep making up crap out of thin air. Again, as I have already said, if a change happens, I post it to the updates forum, so people know about it. Do not believe everything you hear your “sources” say, maybe a better approach would have been to ASK me if I had changed hoppers/restone instead of insinuating that I already had and that was the problem. I have already explained what may be causing redstone/hoppers to act different if you read my reply, you may not have been online in the last few days I have mentioned performance issues with 1.9 in-game so I will let you off, you have made this forum thread off topic now; I have stated what needs to be done with performance, waiting on 1.9.3 and then switching to paperspigot once its updated.
