Staff have talked over your request Shaun. Welcome back to PirateCraft matey. Just make sure not to go inviting people to other servers again. 🙂

Accepted and Closed.

It’s your own fault for letting your “friend” play on your account.

X-rayers don’t usually get second chances.

But its new year, and there may well be some truth in your story.

As such staff have decided to give you one final chance. If anything like this happens again, you will be banned permanently.

Appeal accepted and happy new year from the Piratecraft staff

the server has a very diverse group of players, each with different play styles. some enjoy nothing but stabbing peoples faces in, some enjoy farming or collecting resources, some enjoy just building. it’s hard, and aslo in my opinion, unfair, to cater solely or more heavily to one play style, or group of players than the others. if the server tips heavier into pvp, the people that pvp the most will be overjoyed, but the ones that just don’t have the skill; or even time to build that skill; (or even the fucks to give about pvp in general) would be put off, since they’d just become the targets for “ez killz” or even KDR stat farming. ive been a pvper, I used to enjoy going out and raiding/killing, so I cant really say much against it. but I also enjoy the other, less hostile play styles this game has to offer. its also difficult to create a happy balance between the groups. but its also that not everyone can get what they want. compromises must be made, and one group shouldn’t be favored most over others, to keep the diversity Piratecraft has.

TL;DR: not everyone can have their way.

just my 2 cents.

@wiskey_waters no offence taken.

All I was saying is that it could offer up more politics and more talking on the forums, which to me, have been rather as of late, inactive of that sort of talk, which I enjoy reading and partaking sometimes.

@oktacraft the loss of OP gear is what a fear people have, but like you’ve said and others have said, it is the existence of the OP gear that makes people think ‘what is the point of fighting?’ especially when someone can just bound up to you and kill you before you can react.

I know it WILL (not possibly) prove unpopular with much of the PvP player base, but if we want to see more battles occurring, such as more wars and sieges, you might as well give the often under siege player a fighting chance perhaps.

I also know that many of the greater pvp players on the server are known for their skills in PvP, and so instead we should encourage them to sacrifice better weapons, for more mediocre or weaker weapons and provide a bonus to those players who attack a rival crew in that fashion, as more often than not, they attack those of a lower skill and lower armament.

I know someone will turn around and say ‘its piratecraft, not princesscraft’, but if they’re going to use that excuse, they can take into account that pirates take risks (well those whom are under Hollywood’s charm which most people like to try replicate) so by possibly using not as good weapons against a target who has better weapons, but not particularly better skill, they’ll take their risk, but their target would also take the risk to wear better armour or weapons, especially if they know that those who may attack them may be wielding gear which is obsolete compare to theirs. There would then be a much more levelled playing field, with both sides playing it like a ‘pirate’, one risking possible death to either get a better bonus for themselves and better stats, and the other just going about their business, but risks losing their stuff if they cannot neutralise the threat at hand.

This could also slightly work in the pvpper’s favour, as they could then save their better armaments for times when they need it, such as when they’re being sieged or in a battle with a rival crew.

But then again, I’m not a pvpper, but rather the ‘going about their business’ kind, so I don’t know whether it’d work or not, but I’m sure the temptation of a reputation of having skill, rather than how many godsets they own.

I saw disbanding crew, though it’d make defeating others correct as it would in theory be “the destruction of the crew”, would possibly prove to be unpopular as it could be very upsetting.

Though I’m afraid of stating the pint that it would bring money out of the eco as people remake their crews, would encourage more banding of people as well from different backgrounds so a greater more interlinked community and less crews and more politics

But it’d be annoying if one large crew suddenly disappeared, so rather perhaps like in factions, a “power system implemented” and every time a new member is added (whom is active) adds to that power and it gradually regenerates for everyone, but goes down a each time a member dies, and let’s say if a crew member of a crew with higher power if killed by a crew member of a crew with a low power- loses more power, i don’t know about that one though as it’d again encourage small, overpowered pvp crews to form.

There could also be a factor that the longer a crew member is offline their power eventually goes in negative numbers (like perhaps -10 as the lowest limit) encouraging crews to perhaps regulate their members, and maybe have a way of freezing certain important members (like me) power (to like 5) so they can keep them but can only do it to so many members (which HAVE to be inactive for like 5 days, and only after those 5 days can have their power frozen to a limit of 5).

I do see the focus on encouraging pvp, perhaps there could be a way that if people once they get so much of their waring crew’s power down, or if they get their power down past a certain mark, their entire crew gets an exp boost for a couple of days. Killing people could instead invoke an reward, rather than just adding to their statistics or whatever that person holds. -just an idea

Allies could perhaps come in somehow with the crew power thing perhaps also? Making people tactically think about who their allies are could encourage them to think more about who they add as an ally, and allies which perhaps are more detrimental could reduce their allies crew power.

I think this could make it slightly more complicated though, as I know it took me a while even to understand how PirateCraft worked, and I’m yet to understand game modes such as towny (which i don’t know how people find that fun).

Maybe something like what CrazyPirate said about levelling the playing field, which I can see is what the  anti-cheat is there for, but maybe again, bonuses if people use weapons in war which are weak, such as maybe leather and gold, instead of things such as iron or gold. This could perhaps encourage crews who are good at pvp, whom have good skills, to perhaps ‘take the risk’ against crews and player who may not have the godsets or skill to punch above their weight but can get basic diamond and iron gear, perhaps levelling the playing field(?).

But I know some people spend a lot of time building their vaults etc, and building up resources, which yes can be annoying if people can’t get to them, but perhaps with these ‘levelling the playing field’ tactics, which can encourage higher pvp crews (or any crew) to use (and carry) less powerful gear, to get boosts in exp, get random prizes (like spawn eggs, books with enchants, saddles, horse armour, blaze rods), but no money prizes.

I don’t know, I know there are problems, but whenever I get on PirateCraft they surround pvp, which don’t bother me as such as I don’t play to pvp on the server.

What Max says.

A server wide restart would also lead to a server wide need for new players restart, as many longterm players would just pack up and leave, and it may encourage those copycat servers to spring up once more. There is a plan in the pipeline also for other worlds, which will probably be reset every once in a while perhaps, and will probably be able to influence the (current/original) PirateCraft world as it is (e.g. cross item transfer, movement of exp and achievements, economy there which influences the economy here and vice versa).

We also don’t know whether or not Gods may decide to give the server a bit of an expansion, even though it may or may not add these additions and others.

There was a thread not too long ago about this when the whole update showcase happened at Minecon Earth. I believe from what I remember (because I’m too lazy to go look) that the staff team have thought about building reefs on the server, and (I am guessing so they’re authentic) making them ‘reef biomes’ (idk if that’s even a thing), areas that are also bound to get regens or are practically empty, will probably have a reef set up in it also.

frogsandturtles, take a little bit of a chill and please take what the server has to offer as of right now. It is a beautiful varied landscape, and I would also recommend doing some research before coming out with something like this.

If you found the thread unclear (which dw, it was kinda) bring it up again, as it’s what the forums are about.
