Suggestion Permanent Build World

[Psychokhaos]

Well, me and some of the other Sires entrants were talking about our builds and other things, without a threat of someone coming to kill us for our materials. I got to thinking, and I thought it would be pretty cool to have a Building World up permanently. Just a place where the builders of the server could take their materials and build stuff together in peace, sharing ideas, etc.,

I know this was talked about with the Adventure Map, a PvE map, and maybe a few others before, so why not? I think it would be a nice addition to the server. Also lets people go and see what architecture is on the server.

I would love to see a perm building map. There is just too much risk trying to build out in the open.

Would you want to have to gather all your materials?

We're gonna need to build walls to contain all this win!

The point is to have a place where builds can be shown off, you would still have to gather your materials. That, or they'd have to make it so inventory doesn't carry back and forth.

I think players should have to bring their own mats.

 

[bfittipaldi]

I agree with this. I would love to see a world for builders just to show off their great works without fear that somebody is gonna kill them for their items.

it would be nice, except it would be a risk free way to mine for gold. removing all the ores from the world would be the only way this could work.

Hence it being a Flatlands, as it is for the Spires Build competition. Maybe same way to grant plots.

u beat me to the superflat suggestion and plots, my browser is f***ed up >.< had to download google chrome so i could post again. I was going to say, maybe make it superflat, give everyone a 30x30 plot or so, or something big enough for people to work with, have the superflat set to "tunnelers dream" preset, giving people the ability to have a basement made. restrict the use of chests in this map, cus people could easily abuse the PVE factor and store all their valuables in their chests in this new map. also like everyone wants, people would have to bring their own mats.

 

[mikehk]

this might also have to become a micro-transaction for a plot, cause then that would be taking another thing from donors perks.

Wouldn't necessarily have to be either - Just /pe for a plot. Maybe a cost of coin? Or the micro transaction. Either-or.

 

[mikehk]

if it was a cost of coin, it would be same as zeal plot, only in a different world.

No, not a good idea. PvP is dwindling down enough as it is. This isn't a creative server. I don't see anything hardcore about a pvp free map to build on. There's no risk.

true... true... so maybe we could make the map superflat, and have indivivdual spots that some plugin could create about 5 blocks apart from each other in a grid fromation throughout the whole map, and then people could go and claim 1 spot, and 1 spot only to be theirs, the hardcore factor about it is that there is PvP and the spawn will be allowed to be camped, so people would have to make a mad dash for their claimed spot and get inside quickly before anyone kills them.

Although there is a chance of loss from building in Bastion it is not hard to deal with. Setup an LWC(or 10) at your build site and only take out a few stacks of mats at a time. It will take longer but will have the "safety" you are looking for. If someone decides to be an ass and just camp you, either call in friends to help deal with it or take a break and go mine more mats.

Although I don't particularly agree with W0nder that world PVP is dropping off for any controllable reason(I would say that Veterans are leaving the server for whatever reason, boredom, school, life, other games.) I do agree that having players building their awesome brain children in BASTION for all of the community to enjoy is of a much greater benefit to the server.

 

[Kainzo]

If people want it, it can be done. We can get something that auto-gives plots out or something.. Maybe donor only

Circular logic. If people don't want to pvp they won't. You may want to ask yourself why you're here if your sole purpose is to find players who don't want to PVP to pvp them.

Games that have insanely active and "prime" PVP:
Chivalry
Planetside 2
HelloKitty Online

 

[mikehk]

WTF is HelloKitty Online? I've heard of the cartoon/toy character, but what?
and kainzo, that's what the TC live for, killing people who don't want to PvP and taking all their stuff... they're an evil guild... literally XD

ooooohhh OK, i think it's sarcasm XD the hellokitty thing...

I built a road from spawn to -2400 the west road. Got attacked 3 times lost 2 stacks of dirt and 3 stacks of stone brick. Took a week and a half.
