So this includes an idea / i dont know what this really is, so here it is: So basically I am unsure how this would work but I think GC needs a cannon testing server, whether it be as small as 20 players but I think recently after seeing we've hit 250 players on weekend that its quite clear we've put the past reset behind us and have gotten much more popular as for factions original. I think this would be a good implementation because I feel that the mechanics of GC is unique compared to other servers, therefor testing simply doesn't do good for us cannoners. I think that being able to test a cannon before raiding with it would prevent huge problems such as having a working cannon on one test server and then having it blow up on the first shot on GC, mainly because GC has different lag, and different mechanisms to be fairly honest. I think it'd be helpful as well because large cannons require lots of tnt, and to risk such large amounts of tnt wouldn't be very reasonable because we're already risking cobwebs (which are rare) to use the cannon to start with. I dont know this is just one idea, I thought of like maybe you'd need to vote a certain amount of times like 2-4 times to get world edit for your cannoning? And /tntfill, as well as preventing lava flow (to prevent lava monsters) and also some other fixes for world edit such as preventing changing certain blocks such as all the blocks to lava, tnt etc to prevent lag causing players. This idea arose from when @Tibo442 I believe, said something along the lines of fixing certain cannons, I think this idea would fit perfectly for such cannons to be fixed, as many players on GC carry the potential of creating large cannons however hesitate in wasting tnt simply to find out its incorrect timing and it blows up. One other thing is, if this isn't able to be implemented because Tibo mentioned that he needs to know certain cannons that need to be fixed is it possible that we can have some form of subsection under some topic on the forum simply to list such cannons? Although without a real GC cannon testing server, we wouldn't be exactly sure if they were truly broken, we can only make assumptions, which is exactly why we, even if its small, want a cannon server (we = some friends who I've talked with). Also I think this would be good because if 20/250 players decide to come on, and have to vote 3 times to get world edit, that means GC is getting 60 votes every day (assuming world edit permissions are reset daily for safety and efficient reasons which, if manipulated properly could give GC by far thousand of more votes within weeks). Still aren't convinced why we need / want one of these small servers for testing? Checkout the images below and if you believe that we can build such cannons, you should also know that due to the variable of timing from server to server, such cannons would blow up 99% of the time due to incorrect timing(which I believe many players on GC have such potential simply hide it due to such a large risk of losing it). Imagine building the cannons below and having it blow up in a raid, you wouldn't want that, nor do we, make it before or blow it up later, that how it'll be, test it in the test server before to be safe or you may end up with a blown up mess instead of a split base
GC will be so laggy with those cannons. But I just hope it wouldn't be laggy, I'll love to try those cannons on a testing server
Great idea ! Tbh faction black is dying it doesn't more than 60 player even in weekends so we can replace it with a 50 player cannon test server and if its full donators can always join ?
You all Say Gc would be laggy from these cannons not all have the resources and time to make them not all have so much tnt. And not everyone wuold build these massive cannons
Actually there are some players who take the time, and I think that it really doesnt have to be this massive, a simple lein would have to be adjusted to GC timing, basically any cannons you find have to be adjusted to fit the server's timings, and thats why it really doesnt have to pertain to such large cannons those are just some examples.
im kinda in but i dont think that #hater Tender Man(no offense Tender if you read this) wont accept and other global admins but great idea
Tagging for some admin opinions @Tibo442 @Tenderman @aXed @Kris @AsyFrost @Xandervanv Some admins I just included becuz y not?
Gc is already pretty laggy. The first thing they should fix is potion pvp which has become laggier, but they won't they're too much into anni to see future of other servers. Particularly aXed, he would never reply to any thread except anni thread, tho he gets the most money from facs. I've tried tagging him like 100times in different suggestions but he is too busy with anni.
That cannon is a beast! Even though it would cause lag,the idea for the cannon testing server is great! Without testing,cannons may not work properly.Great idea!
AC130 is nerfed on most servers. The cannon itself is one of the best out there. I don't think it should come on Guildcraft. It's too OP It would be nice to have a testing environment though. Especially for sandstackers, now that most ppl build countless cobble wall defenses.
I don't think there should be a cannon tester, they should just fix the tnt lag and cannon bugs so every cannon works like it should, there should be no "this cannon works in gc" and this 1 doesn't because a lot of cannons don't work for gc, even the small ones :/
yeah, I did try him once, also asked tibo but they wont tell about when it would be fixxed or something, only aXed could tell about that.
