»Survival - What is going on?

First off I would like to say I understand things are being worked on but in 2 weeks I have only seen additional bugs cropping up and zero fixes.

Tree feller Mcmmo skill - leaf-blowers broken, cant take out leaves with an axe, and cant use tree feller on a tree.
-suggestion: put your coder to work on this and get it out of the way with a simple fix.

/Auc is gone and now replaced by /AH a useless plugin made even more annoying by the fact that it is no longer a donator perk and is spammed my regular members with cheap blocks for 500k in case you miss click.
-suggestion: remove until it can be fully implemented

/kit Spawner - Another kit donator perk removed, At this point its like why did i even donate when everything i donated for is being removed.
-suggestion: Either re-add or compensate donators who are at this tier, Since I donated claim blocks have been reduced 75% for donators, /auc removed, spawners removed, my pet Ender dragon was taken away.

/shop Overall this is pretty horrible. Full of overpriced items which i guess fine, but mostly everything is useless. None of the non-renewable blocks are available, like the temple stones, quartz, sponges, nether bricks, ect that kinda thing.
-suggestion: Update with non renewable blocks and resources in the mix, scale prices around stacks no one wants to pay 3 days of vote money for 1 stack of dirt

/jobs this one I'm not really sure. I see the limit as being useful but atm its an annoyingly unbalanced feature 1 hour to reset, and 2 minutes 36 seconds to cap out the limit again then another 57 minutes of getting spammed about the cool down, needs work.
-suggestion: increase limits 25%, reduce payment 25-50%

Spawners - from what i hear bugged so haven't touched them.
-suggestion: Fix them when you have time.

Plantminecraft Vote link is broken again
-suggestion: Fix or remove

Last issue is severe lack of enforcement of the rules. I don't know what happened but all the admins are so worried about doing anything because they fear getting in trouble or something. I've seen a ban dodger get 10 days then get unbanned. People are bypassing the redstone clock plugin by creating more complex clocks, which is pretty clearly a cheat or an exploit, same as bypassing the language filter by using symbols to cuss. Lastly lack of admin enforcement on the 1 claim around a warp. Currently /Warp Plains is completely controlled by a group of 3 people who have claimed the entire area surrounding the warp on all 4 sides.

-suggestion: Better screening, a complicated application process to weed out people that are unable to perform simple functions or find information on their own, and disallow players to admin on a server they play on, admins are to catering to their former friends such as the unban recently.

 

I agree with everything you said in this post especially the shop and jobs suggestion but I do not agree of what you said here.

Regular members only have 2 auc slots to work with(which prevents the entire /ah from being bombarded with junk) and while its true that some sell the most stupid stuff for a crazy price it is unfair to say all normal members sell worthless junk just because of that small group of village idiots, on top of this to there is a confirmation page that comes up when you click that certain item so unless you are blind, lazy or just flat out stupid you should not have the problem of accidentally buying the wrong item, Also saying that /ah is useless just because it is not a donater only feature anymore is very selfish. If you reply to what I have to say please give me a detailed,well thought out response instead of the common rage replies I have received thousands of times.

 

As to the confirmation page that's nice to know, I just completely avoided it for fear of being scammed. But as for donator only I still stand by that. Its a 5 euro donation which is nothing and supports the server, It always was meant as a low tier reward and was a huge reason a lot of people donated the 5 euros so it helped the server. Making it donator also reduces the amount of people loading up the auction and driving down prices and restricts the members to shops which are still efficient as I've seen quite a few members richer then me . It's just been a current trend to keep taking from those of us who have supported the server. I say this as a God since 2012 when I first donated here, I have only lost what I paid for in claimblocks, kits, privileges, and pets.

 

I 100% agree with tweaked, whole-heartedly on the issue with Admins. I understand its "controversial" to talk about this but it has honestly crossed the line. People are being muted for absolutely the wrong reasons, and when someone does get away with not getting muted 99% of the time it is because of favoritism, and we are getting muted for showing any kind of doubt, even if it isnt harsh, if the sentence includes the name of an admin. People don't even want to talk in chat now because of this. People are shown blunt favoritism and it isn't just like 5 of us who have noticed. But you never hear or see it because all of the posts agreeing in this way immediately get deleted, happened very recently. I dont understand why admins are able to be admins on more than one server, maybe thats just me and my experience as a head admin on other servers, but if you are an admin, you are supposed to give 100% of your attention to one server. and not avoid answering people who need help, then mute people who do help others because they seem like theyre arguing when they say theyre never present. I hope that this tweaked and all these comments are actually read this time before they get locked.

 

@aXed u guys do realize it sometimes is not as simple as that we do have other players complaining about other things on other servers i undersand the issues currently at hand but i dont know much of what goes on i only manage the chat on my server nothing else i do not show favoritism i treat everyone the same rules are rules no matter what plus staff do view these threads just tag us in em so we can see the issues and bugs look at ur servers staff wall and tag them for that servers appropiate criteria for example cyrus is head admin on surv and semi he handles them as best as he can and he is doing a good job so far not all staff can catch whatever is being said in chat i for one sometimes have a hard time catching stuff in the surv chat so pls be patient

 

You are an Ex staff on Survival so you know what the guidelines tell and what is shown on it.
We staff DO NOT Mute for favoritism. We have a guideline to follow and If this means muting your friends we have to. The fact that being staff on More than 1 server, I don't find a problem with it. If you have the time why not. There is a reason why theres more than 10 staff on a server. If There none and you need someone, pop by Team speak or the Forums. If you see a staff member do the Wrong things in Muting/banning there is a forum to report them and there Head Admin will be Notified and will react to this ASAP. I find it funny because people do chat in Public and Our chat normally gets spammed so I Don't know where that came from but If people have problems with staff report it in. We staff are here doing our best. I give My 100% to all the servers Im staff on and just because staff are not on from a certain time, They still reach the requirements and activity.

 

1st issue - this is a MCMMO issue, Need to wait for plugin to update.
2nd issue - Honestly thought it was for donator plus.
3rd issue - Kit spawner was removed to make skeleton and zombie spawners "More vaulable", and axed didint like the fact that alot of people just joined to do their /kit spawner and give it to someone, sell it or leave.
4th issue - axed tried setting the economy with /shop, but players made their shops much cheaper, which is why many say its too expensive
5th issue - Yeah this stupid.
6th issue - No idea whats going on here
7th issue - use the VOTE feature on the website, PMC was removed and was replaced by a new site, with a annoying capitcha thing
Last issue - If you see staff "Not doing their job properly" Take a screenshot of it and let Cyrus know, or report it on the forums, Yes some staff do let their mates off, Which is no way allowed. and they are the staff that need to be dealt with.
And lastly, the "3 people at warp plains" have only 1 claim each, so its allowed

 

@Marine4121 for #3 kit spawner then don't remove something i paid for, instead implement something to stop the issue, kit spawner 14 day cool down and must have logged so many hours, or logged in 14 days in a row to get it something like that don't remove one of the main reasons alot of people upgraded to god or higher. my complaint with shop is dirt shouldn't be 6500 for 1 stack, that's 3 days of vote money for the average person, of 13 hours of base lvl job limits, Also that their are almost no non-renewable resources there such as temple blocks ect, nice blocks but with limited temples and poeple claiming everything day 1 their needs to be a way to get these. I use the vote feature on the website if you mean that side scroll in screen one, only have 5 votes and a blank page. Lastly the 3 people at warp plains have upwards of 11 claims each, fly around with a stick and see.

 

Also Update: Since last night when a certain player figured out a bypass to the plugin that blocks redstone clocks by creating a slower clock the servers have gone to literal hell with lag from people duplicating the feat, Gratz to Admins for not addressing this problem last night and preventing this from occurring even when they were on.

 

The most ideal would be if the /shop would not be expensive but also not so cheap that it influences the price free market or it will influence the economy.
But that's really hard to do so I think it's wiser to keep it too high than to search that perfect balance and risk pricing something too low or making something easier available preventing possible inflation of an item due to increasing scarcity.
Like diamonds for example, they probably will become more and more valuable because they're hard to get and voting isn't sufficient to keep up the demand.

 

@Tweaked83 Warped plains is the best looking warp and 8 players have front row plots not 3, and no player has 11 front row claims, a couple palyers have conjoining claims around corners and things like that you are clearly being deceptive.

There are no redstone clocks lagging up the server, the server has other issues causing the lag. Even slow clocks are only viable while the chunks are loaded, they all turn solid red after the chunks get unloaded it really is not an issue at all. Also a clock based melon farm causes 100x less lag than the current popular cascading bud/torch burn out design the plebs are using. I challenge you to find one currently active repeater clock on the whole server. Machines are a core part of minecraft for many players, I understand the need to limit the impact of certain things using plugins. But just because you don't like dooing it does not give you the right to try and ruin the game for those of us who do. It would be just like me saying that you should not breed animals any more because there is a plugin reducing the number of animals you can have so by breeding them you are trying to bypass the plugin and should be banned, oh and there is terrible lag on the server because people still have animals; your being totally ridiculous. The plugins exist and it is our job to have fun despite them. We would all personally love unlimited mob farms and villager farms for ourselves but we understand that for the greater good there are limitations in place, well there are serious limitations in place on redstone too but that does not mean using redstone should be against the rules it just means we need to have fun despite the plugins and if that means running a slow clock and having it break after the chunks get unloaded than that's what that means. Sometimes I want to run a machine to do things, clocks are needed for such machines, I have no issue with machines automatically turning off after the area is unloaded. Just to beat this dead horse some more do you get mad at players for using 9 hoppers in a chunck, there is a plugin limiting hoppers so dont get mad at players for using redstone just because there is a plugin limiting redstone.

If dirt is too expensive then make a shop that sells it, I dug up six dubs of dirt the other day it's really fast to do. It is counter productive and damaging to the economy for the shop to compete with players on items that any player can easily supply.

I completely agree with your on the nerfing of God and Titan, it is very disrespectful to the players who donated, especially the ones who are not financially well off; @aXed a very shameful move.

There is a forum to report admins who are abusing there powers or not obeying the rules, if you see those things happen then report it there. Complaining about it here with no proof is a serious accusation and if I where staff I would censure you for it.

"disallow players to admin on a server they play on" Absolutely worst suggestion ever, admins should be long time players on servers so they intuitively understand how the server works. To me one of the biggest problems is when admins and owners loose touch with what's important to players and do stupid stuff like removing all hoppers and totally kill the game.
