I agree it sucks to lose a siege and see all your hard earned supplies disappear. It was like clock work when i was working through the ranks that a soon as i got a handful of daimonds and decent amount of supplies some op folks would show up and destroy meand take my stuff. I never had the good sense to stay inside and would always go out and fight XD.

Of course the first few times I did like everyone does and re-spawned naked ran around trying to fight the looters at least for a couple mins anyway. Eventually i just set home in my new obby vault and it didnt matter anyway haha.

Thats the thing though, your supposed to stop them from winning the siege to keep them from taking your stuff.

Plus it just causes problems since when you re-spawn your naked so you cant do anything anyway. Even if you could get to some gear if you werent able to defeat them when you had the entirety of your defenses your not going to keep them from taking their prize :).

So you can only annoy someone and at best its an attempt to trigger a spam killing jail trip or keeps them tagged and they cant tp out. That causes all sorts of whining and chat wars and pinging staff for an issue that shouldnt be an issue.

In real life, well in the days of actual sieges you didnt respawn to annoy the victors of the war.

Not to mention the attitude changes when your the winner of a siege and its your time to take home the loot 😀 then its all “so and so wont leave us alone blah,blah,blah”

So thats why the loser needs to go to a safe room and the winner needs to just loot and leave the loser alone.

It would be awesome if the dev could implement something that triggered the loser to be tped to spawn or something. It would make more realistic.

I tried something similar to this before, however, it didn’t exactly do it for me. Might of been because I did it in some strange armour I made for the Iborians, but it looked quite bad if I do say so myself ‘:), but I would definitely look into this myself. I wouldn’t mind if someone just uploaded a bunch onto the internet, for people to use as an ‘outer’ stencil. I personally want a poncho sort of thing, not too sure how I’d do it off the top of my head, just I think Mesa desert and all it would look good.

Check the server IP you are using. I’m not really sure what the problem could be off the top of my head.

It is already a community, it is just people interact with it at different levels, more than others and in different ways.

should (emphasis on “should”) build cooperative relationships between people and make this more than a server of lonely, underground farmers

A cooperative relationship on this server is @JUSA kills you when you have a lot of loot and takes it, and does not kill you again and until you have all your loot back.

-A better relationship would be that the PVPpers stop telling people to go ‘train on other servers’, and rather instead help people to get better. I for one wouldn’t care if it was a no strings attached or promises approach, and that just due to training, would not mean they could not raid me anymore, all it would do is make me more confident in my skills and perhaps stick about, take part in raids or even give a couple of kicks before I click the respawn button again.

The only way pvp can occur usually.

This is just going to be my last response. Setting up a ‘server wide war’ is useless unless that war can be set up by a group of influential people to target a valid group (of which I provide none as I enjoy being on practically everyone’s good side). I can give you examples again and again of why people do not pvp, instead of setting up ‘pvp’ events, which no one often attends like the seasonal ones e.g. Halloween and Christmas when PVP is turned on, fails because people do not want to lose their gear, its a guaranteed fact. The only way you can fix this, is by fixing people’s confidence in their own abilities and for them not to feel their loss is permanent (which it is not) and for it to no longer be fun and to turn into a drag.

Luckily for now, there is a lot less butthurt, salty, toxic players being reported (from what I can see) so this must be improving, though those who are not that, are going underground for the subterranean life, of no sunlight, breeze or rain. Ta la.

Minister..

1. No need to trash talk in a suggestion

2. That’s a terrible idea… This is taking a pearl cool down to a extreme hurting people for being in their claims and having it so you can’t pearl outside your base without opening a door will lead to even less pvp.

3. Idek if that’s possible since claims, detecting who is in it and stopping pearls when others are in the claim are diffrent plugins and would be hard to make them all combine.

Silverstone47, you can use my base. It is near spawn, I’m moving out of it, and it is pretty defensible if I know if someone is coming. It also has cannons on the top. If you want to borrow it, you are welcome to use it. If you need anything else, just ask.

Read the forums Adzy? Whats going on?

Why are you just repeating whats already been asked? why havent you read the replies? I have answered these “ideas/questions” whatever you think you came up with flower.

Closed because of absolute retard.

Try to avoid suggesting the same thing someone else has already suggested in another thread. We have talked about this exact thing already. Fire-spread is already off for example. The removal of tp’s in the regular world would not encourage ship use like you think, it’d just annoy many people in the current world. The purpose of ships isn’t to force them upon people to transport themselves. It is to have a fun thing they can build and fight in battles if they wish. They can even use them to build bridges and think of new creative ways to raid. You say there is a huge lack of ships, yet most deckhands I see that come on end up building a ship in their first day of playing right outside their newly made base. It’s almost always the second thing they’re excited to try out. For now just understand the system works as is, and there will be something new eventually for those looking to change things up. Thanks

Here’s a link to the thread where Gods already addressed this: https://piratemc.com/topic/a-couple-of-suggestions/page/2/

/crew list is the overall crew database. These stats are based as a total crew kill death ratio from all the members. To reset this statistic you’d have to reset player kills and player kill/death ratio. I’m currently #1 on /crew leaderboard which shows the top player kill/death ratios. If you can find a way to reset crew KDR without resetting player’s KDR then yeah I’d probably go for that but I’d prefer to not have my year and a half with only 15 deaths reset.

As quickly as they can throw them to get away, you can throw them to follow. It’s really not hard. I don’t see a reason for a pearl cool down since you can throw them just as fast as they can to follow.

Um..I really don’t see a need for this as if this was implemented all history of pvp prior to a month would be lost..if you want to be top on /crew list or /crew leaderboards, hunt more and stop dying. It’s not really that hard.

As to the pearl cool down..it’s never been that high. 20-30 seconds is ridiculously long and would defeat the purpose of ender pearls in combat in general.

Yeah same here, there isn’t much information actually on what each cannon does at the end of the day.

Mortars shoot up, Carronade/Short Cannons shoot across, Doubled Barrelled Cannons shoot across twice.

Even then, I don’t know what the difference is between a Carronade and a Short cannon, other than their physical dimensions, or if the performance of the Doubled Barrelled is any different either other than having two cannons.

Also taking into account you can now make all of them out of different materials should also be noted in how they work, or is it just instead all to do with visuals, and how they look, rather than the differing rarity of the items used in their construction- the only cannon I believe I can think of off of the top of my head which is slightly differentiated is the Rusty Carronade cannon, which can only fire shrapnel which is the weakest of all cannon shots due to it being anti-personnel but only firing a single shot.

For people who come to the server and are new and discover the different sorts, I am sure it can be quite confusing as it seems like relatively difficult decisions on what cannons to mount, and which are better in certain situations etc. But even now, to someone like me I sometimes wonder and think about what could be better, just out of pure curiosity due to just not knowing.

Testing of the cannons to find this out may have to be commenced by players whom are willing to do the research (I would be, unfortunately I cannot as of right now).

SO piggybacking off of @elisapop it should be noted to include each cannon type and material type as it wont be included in this rough summary below of statistics which matter to this subject (and please specify if none of this matters also);

The range of each cannon (ideally maximum and minimum).

The effects on projectiles, such as if certain cannon are better suited for certain projectiles, but not taking into account personal choice for projectile use on the cannon.

The noise I guess, never really thought about the noise as such, but I’m sure that could be thought about.

Effects of certain cannons, such as recoil, reload time, aiming speed, accuracy, their weight and possible effects on ship speed.

I’ve tried to think up of every point of each of these cannons, I hope this could become clearer, much like how Elisa and I’m sure other members of the community would. Thank you. 🙂

*(This may come across angry I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it to, I was just trying to be formal (but I am pretty blunt) and list clearly the problems that people whom are searching for the properties of the gun types and their material equivalents face, I have in no way meant to offend anyone and if you have been, sincere apologies.)
