Ok hear me out.
Firsty i love the THEME of this server and I know I am technically new here to be making huge change suggestions and this will be met with some hostility and scoffed at by some of the “established”, but I see a few issues that IN MY OPINION could improve the server. This is not an attck of the how the server is currently running as obviously some ppl enjoy it. These are purely my thoughts and may not even be a good idea all in all, but I feel it could work for the better and increase the server participation with an increase in players and action.
PVP-
The PVP on this server seems to consists purely of those with fully godded up diamond gear armed to the teeth with gapples, crapples, EXP bots, potions of healing, regen etc. hitting each other occasionally over a silly length of time while talking smack in the chat waiting for the other person to run out of health boosts.
No one else need apply.
Everyone else is open game to be hunted down and rage quit once a few days of grinding effort is blitzed out by some winner all geared up hunting noobs who are still trying to build a dirt house and find food. The new players quit rate seems to be huge because of this.
1. That is generic Minecraft PVP and adds nothing to the pirate theme, actually it detracts from it a lot.
2. It is non inclusive. Yes this will sound like a cry but it is reserved purely for those established with massive resources who can resource that gear in the first place, let alone risk going into a battle and god forbid, losing any of it. The time investment to attain that gear is ridiculous for anyone without an infrastructure of grinders and farms etc and of course this will be poo poo’d by those with the monopolies of the resources who say “its easy, nub”.
My suggestions- bear in mind these are suggestions i would like to hear counters to without being abused etc.
1. Get rid of most/all magic health boosts- apples, healing, regeneration etc.
2. Get rid of Diamond gear. WHHHHHHAAAAAAT!!! Why not? There is nothing piraty about blue diamond gear. Its silly. It will also, god forbid, lower the playing field to so that more players more often can engage in skill based combat that isnt Diablo3 button mashing boost based.
3. Limit/remove (at the extreme) gear enchantment. (ok that would make things too boring) but maybe reduce sharp, prot, etc to level 3? Once again this would make combat more inclusive and allow those without the full standard god setup to engage in the game more fully more often and take away the sting of losing enough so that they can bounce back without being ruined after a big loss of gear and rage quit.
Summary-
Get rid of the OP crap that is pushing the fun out of the server.
Ships-
I joined this server because of the ships.
Now i find like everyone else soon realizes that they are purely pretty ornaments and can be outrun by a row boat, etc useless. And you better not take one out for a spin because you are utterly exposed to attack and loss of the ship by godded up clowns. Awesome fun. I know there are a few threads on this already and it seems tricky to balance but the most obvious is that row boats should never be faster that large sails boats (unless the row boat is a large crewed galley with slaves to row).
Your thoughts?
Agree diamond armour in itself isn’t a big problem. Diamond god armour (although still OP) in combination with the apples and healing boosts and make PvP unbalanced. And the lead up time to getting those things from scratch for newish players to participate is massive.
But as expected no one is seeing the forest for the trees on the issue.
Minecraft is the most popular game in the world. This server gets about 35 pl max on it. That says something. New people join all the time and soon leave. They want to play, but the learning curve to participation is too massive.
I think this world would be more fun with more players more often at a greater participation level. Does anyone agree with that or happy with the small community of regular players?
Any changes could affect the economy as well which would have to be taken into account and ultimately Gods has to be able to keep the the server running or there is no debate.
I think its also a debate between those who prefer stats based combat over skills based combat.
1. Get rid of most/all magic health boosts- apples, healing, regeneration etc. 2. Get rid of Diamond gear. WHHHHHHAAAAAAT!!! Why not? There is nothing piraty about blue diamond gear. Its silly. It will also, god forbid, lower the playing field to so that more players more often can engage in skill based combat that isnt Diablo3 button mashing boost based. 3. Limit/remove (at the extreme) gear enchantment. (ok that would make things too boring) but maybe reduce sharp, prot, etc to level 3?

God dammit where do I start.
- When someone joins a minecraft server without mods, they expect the basics to work, don’t mess with the basics. you got beef with the mechanics with minecraft? Then take it up with Mojang. Yes Its flawed, I’ve covered this before, use the search on the forums. This isnt a PirateCraft problem mate, its Minecraft terrible design.
- Get rid of diamond gear? read point one.
- I don’t think you understand how a server works, read point one.
This is ridiculous, Im closing this because I don’t have the patience.
“get rid of diamond gear and enhancements” While i’m at it, lets give all the banned players OP.
