As we all can see, after the end of the kit overload event somehow the gamemode died. There are about 20 active players, now, in holiday time and probably the number will drop when the school starts, so the whole situation doesn't look good.. So, instead of making suggestions about kits which doesn't help the current situation, you could think how to increase the players (for example i saw a nice suggestion from EnderGHOST - EXP bounty, the suggestion itself wasn't the best since it can be easily abused but the concept was unique, and it could have changed a lot) tbh compared to the evolution of the players there are too many kits/upgrades. Also the staff logic is something like: let's add more kits and upgrades even if there are 20 players online and no one has at least half of them. It's sad everything that's going on, Cats, you should do something before the game will die permanently, isn't a solution if you promote everyone, there are more staff members than online players, funny.. I don't know if i'm the only one who thinks like that, but something isn't going in the right way..
Well I definitely agree, about the kits, we wanted to add a few more because people were complaining we don't update that often, that's basically why Phantom and Warlock (and 2 more soon that are finished but need testing) got added. But when it comes to playerbase, i completely agree with you, we are on an emergency, but the only thing that can help us now is advertisement. For example, CosmicCraft players don't know guildcraft, and a lot of players play there: but if we look further into their anni server, it's just embarassing that they got more players than us when they got only 18 kits, no upgrades, bugs like placeable gold ores, and more. If we get advertisement, we would be able to revive Anni, because, complains aside, it isn't really a bad anni server; it's pretty good but it lacks players because other anni servers don't even know we exist. For now, we are planning to add Voteparties that will probably help the server (voteparties will be events like global boosters and overload). But i hope you understand it isn't easy to improve advertisement when we're on a dead spot; in my side i do my best to communicate with Annihilation community, from both discord and forums, but i'm not a youtuber and i can't get people from other Anni servers, atleast for now. We have been discussing over this whole week on ways to improve adv and we will probably do something soon, maybe an Anni trailer to send out. I appreciate any help to get more players, and suggestions are always welcome. By the way, about Ender's bounty system, i told you i'm going to look forward into adding it, but it's gonna get a lot of changes, as the suggestion itself wasn't really good as an admin-managed system.
The problem here isn't with people over suggesting kits, no matter how you look at it, these people are taking from their free time to think and write something creative that they believe will make the game more fun for everyone. The problem here is with the player count itself, having tested both MCW and Shotbow's annihilations. I can confirm that ours is the most advanced and by a big margin. They can't even provide a good PVP experience. So all in all we should think more about advertising. Making people COME to us, making people want to play OUR annihilation. Our situation is that of a hidden genius. Yes, we do really good coding and have a really nice community, but no one knows of us! I personally can't imagine a 10 years old kid waking up someday and all of a sudden saying ''Oh! The voices told me there is a wonderful server called Guildcraft somewhere! Let's check it out!" And the last thing I have to say is that the low player count is because of us. Yes. So one day I wake up, do my daily stuff, boot up my PC and start annihilation. What was I greeted with? The whole server was targetting a new player called ''vvvvvvvvvvvv'' because of his grammar and bad pvp... If they keep doing that we'll be left with our 20 good ol' pals, players are not allowing themselves to expand. Even if the rules right now allow it, you can't deny that by being rude, toxic, and all high and might, players are turning off new comers...
I told some of the Anni youtubers that i will give them idea about videos (clickbaits xd), but only 1 agreed and now he is off forever xD So I don't have a good pc, but If someone has good pc and want to youtube Annihilation, already got a lot and lots of ideas about annihilation. I will do my best, but find me a guy with good pc (can record with 60 fps or more). --- Double Post Merged, Jul 30, 2018, Original Post Date: Jul 30, 2018 --- That's exactly what i said before kitpvp reset, any new player comes, they litterly "r4pe" him, sorry for the word. like in kitpvp, a randi joins kitpvp, gets killed 24/7 (in the old days, if you don't have a kit, you die in 1 minute after spawn if u are lucky). and then he tries all other game-modes, all pure p2w not a single one is based on skills except getting staff rank lol. Annihilation is good but it's soo god damn p2w
