What do you mean "No render"? I will not add a click nuker. I'm sure it would qualify as a greifing tool and get removed. What do you mean "Player tracer"? I'll add in water walking.
No render- Making it so dropped items don't appear on the ground. involves editing about 1 line of code.
Player Tracer- Lines/ boxes that show and follow nearby players.
Both really easy to add in. And not considered griefing tools.
Now this isn't a "Looking for players" post. This is more of a survey to see what makes people play, and stay on a server. So really all you have to do is answer that simple question. What makes you play, and stay on a particular server?
Is it the plugins?
The staff?
The type of server (Survival, Creative, PvP, etc)?
How much freedom you have?
Also does the server having Anti-Cheating and Griefing plugins affect your decision on playing? Because from my experience it seems that the servers I have run that have No-Cheat or Anti-Xray plugins seem to get less players than those without said plugins.
Not only do I agree with PigBacon and Jonalu (Love you guys <3) but it looks like crap. I mean I hate to rain on your parade guys, but this thing looks bad. It has the exact same features as a hacked client. Its just that the package he gives you is the modified files rather than a whole .jar. You hardly modified the main menu at all, and the GUI looks ugly.
Slenderhold is a 24/7 dedicated server. We are hosted through Beastnode so there is hardly ever downtime with the server itself. We have a nice dedicated staff that gets along nicely and doesn't abuse any powers they are given. We also have an official website here: http://shadowsofdiscordia.enjin.com/ where you can get information on the server, updates, and all sorts of other relevant details you need to know.
Like Stated before, We are a 24/7 server with minimal downtime. Usually we only go offline to tweak some plugins and such.
We are not like most survival and PvP servers. We consider ourselves to be under the category of "Extreme Survival". Now what is Extreme Survival? It takes heavy use of the Monster Apocalypse plugin. All mobs are stronger, Zombies are Faster and do more damage, and they can smell your fear from a mile away. Mobs will run great distances to hunt you down and kill you. Currently they also break torches to make you quiver while you hide in your house. Though some people (Including admins) have wanted me to change this feature. And if enough people dislike it I will change it.
We also have the Herobrine Plugin coded by my friend Steaks4uce. It adds Herobrine (though without Spout it just looks like a zombie). He appears at random. Sometimes he will just say a cryptic message to only you, or he will light a fire near you. Other times he tries to bury you underground or even Kill you. He cannot be killed, and is very determined.
We also have a great staff. The Owners and Head Admin know each other personally. The others are very trusted members that have been by our side through everything and are very loyal. Also please don't take our sarcasm seriously. We can be serious from time to time, but we are also very sarcastic. Please don't take offense
NOTE: Take the time to read the signs at spawn. They are all very important. We took time to line up rules and whatnot in order to better the experience for all. So please take time to read them. A lot of questions you may have will be answered at the spawn rules. So read them.
Just to give a sense of how many mobs WILL swarm you:
Our server has these plugins installed to maximize fun and security:
-No-Cheat +
-CoreProtect
-Lockette
-TreeAssist
-MONSTER APOCALYPSE
-CATACOMBS
-HEROBRINE
-ChestShop
-Factions
And a few more....
We are also all about the players. So if you want a plugin installed that isn't on the list just let one of the Owners know!
Thankfully I also watched ALOT of tutorial videos when I started playing in Beta 1.1. Those were the days....
But I had the same issue teaching My girlfriend how to play. I tried to show her the youtube series I watched, but she did;t have the attention span for it. And she also had a hard time overall because the learning curve was so steep. She jumped into in with absolutely no knowledge. She got frustrated. ALOT. But after about 3 months, she is a little lower than me on the knowledge side. The only thing that I can do that she can't is make awesome redstone contraptions.
I agree. See the problem with so many games nowadays is that multiplayer is always unbalanced. Obviously CoD and Battlefield fall into these categories, but so does Reach. Yes reach is good, but everyone has some sort of special ability that makes it more confusing and unbalanced. I likes the fact you had to find powerups on the field rather than having one constantly that recharges. I am a huge fan of the old Halo games as well as Call of Duty up to number 3.
when minecraft eventually comes out, i will build a massive house with a secret hallway hid behind a wall(pistons) that hallway will then lead to a massive underground rollercoaster ride
It's being released on 1.6.6 so there aren't pistons last I checked...
But I plan on doing a lets play with a few friends.
you seem to think you know everthing, sorry but you dont know if they will add mods or not same goes for all of us we dont know if they will or not, but you carnt go around acting as though you know for a fact they wont cos you dont know that
Well you are correct. I don't know everything. But I have been around long enough and read every topic in this section, and every offical article that has anything to do with the game. I aim to provide as much truthful information as I can. While some of what I have said is speculation, and noone knows, I still use an educated guess.
OT: The only reason I said it won't happen is because I am a pessimist. Would I like somehow for mods to be incorporated, but there would be so many hoops to jump through. Then the developers have to get permission from the creators if it's even possible to convert them. Do I want there to be mods? Yes. Do I know if they will not be in the game at all? No. But this way, I wont get my hopes up n a cool feature that will never be incorporated.
They aren't endless, but still fairly huge. But that shouldnt matter because most often people don't go past about 1000 anyway unless they are really weird or get a terrible terrible spawn. Plus they can't be endless. The Xbox has limitations on memory, and therefore cant support infinite terrain generation. But the worlds will be big enough to seem infinite.
