Big Plans for Herocraft

[Kainzo]

So... we've recently been doing a lot of sweeping changes to Herocraft and I wanted to let you guys know what's on the plate and the immediate plans for areas of our community.

• Centralized Hub server all players will connect through
• Boss mobs / Custom Drops / Dungeon Integration
• NPC revamp (Quests!)
• Outpost / War system
• Karma logic revamp
• Mini-games (Either on separate server or world)
• Protection Revamp (Merge Residence / BuyRegion and HTTP to a uniform protection system)
• Datacenter move
• Races / Attributes (A bit further off but still in planning at this time)

We're slowly working through these and setting things up to hold more players 24/7. If you have any questions or want more details feel free to ask.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the many people who work long hours to make this server great. Thank you staff. Admins | Moderators | Coders

I love all those changes except for maybe the raid idea I like the outpost but I've had bad experiences with raid plugins if you know what I mean Kainzo I think you should remember. Also, if it is coming soon what are we doing about jump backflip forcepush forcepull and those skills that kind of get messed up with no cheat I would love for them all to be working 100% again would be awesome

• Boss mobs / Custom Drops / Dungeon Integration

Can't wait!!!

If the was war plugin isn't about raiding then we shouldn't definitely have a town wars every week on sat or sun where 10-15 members are selected by your towns leader to participate.

You have a area where all towns get together and as soon as you enter your permitted to leave with the items you have gotten from it but you can't enter the area again if you don't mean to walk out that's your fault.

You bring your own items and you fight to the death or until it gets to long so we have a king of the hill. Maybe every other week we can do capture the block/flag

War system should come first PLEASE.

Also I think the greylist should be removed. I think it brings alot of confusion to new players. I think it ruins the community.

You don't know who may times I've recruited some one and told them to walk 3000 blocks. They get there and are like...I don't see you. So they then have to warp to spawn and then walk another 3000 blocks.

We won't be removing the greylist unless we remove the whitelist as well.

Because it's nice having players trying the server before applying... right? :s
...I applied before I even... y'know... played... of course, I joined on HC's birthsday so yea.... Dunno really where I'm going with this :i

In my opinion removing the greylist is the worst thing we can do. Reasons being.

1. Complete removal - It prevents a large number of griefers/hackers from even being able to get whitelisted in the first place.
   • There is a reason we disabled chest interaction on bastion for greylisters it wasn't there origionally.
2. Going back to a whitelist would prevent players from being able to try our server before deciding whether this is the place for them.
3. The grey list gives us a chance to test run players with an iffy background as a chance to prove they can abide by our rules.

In short the Greylist is the best of the three options in my honest opinion.

I know stealing can be fun for the thieves, but it is very frustrating to new players if a lot of their valuables are stolen, if lwc was a little less expensive or another protection was implemented, I think more of the newcomers would be very pleased.

We are moving towards a much faster "whitelist" server... where you log in - are on greylist - then register with a unique forum name / confirm and then get pushed to a whitelist.

It's the best option and automates the system entirely. Still planning on a way to track and monitor the griefers though

 

[Jasquan]

Kainzo - are you ever planning on making a Herocraft: The Game? :>
It'd be awesome...

 

[Delfofthebla]

Cool stuff on the horizon! I'm especially excited for the hub / dungeon stuff. I have a concern regarding the NPC's though. Have the lag issues been sorted out with that plugin yet?

Its like the machine that put the man who screwed on the toothpaste caps out of a job.....nooooo!

I guess it will be better for the server..but what about all of people who have/ lie about recent bans, lie about their age, etc?

The lag issues only arose when we broke 100-120 players so we cannot say for sure until we do some live testing.

Does that mean Proctors will be taken off the job?
