Title: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: 1cec0ld on August 09, 2012, 10:21:38 pm
Current Mob Arena Class Names are changed.

Planned Mobarena Locations include:
Pokemon Tower
Power Plant
Ruins Of Alph
Tin Tower
Bellsprout Tower

MobArena's will cost 200/use. Vote if you need more cash! (Like thats an issue)


1.3 is coming soon. Expect whitelist/downtime.

EnderChests will be added in the PC location in all PokemonCenters in Johto and Kanto.
They will then (upon request) be exchanged inside the Bank.
How to get it exchanged:
Go to your bank chest.
Call an admin.
The admin Breaks the current chest.
The admin Places the new EnderChest.
You pick up your contents and place them how you want.
The End.

You will not be able to place EnderChests, we preserve the ability to raid and grief, while making the bank more accessible and giving a use to the PC.

The Wilderness' Boundary will be increased from 2435 blocks to 3000 Blocks radius.

We will try to host a Public Admin Meeting next week. Same time, 8Pm Central Time, Same day, Thursday. There will be no speaking except in chat. Afterwards, if we have something that will cause panic or rumors, we will move into a private channel. In addition, the day and time of the Admin Meeting may change to better support the Parent in our group. We will not hold or change the admin meeting time for onlookers convienience. Be here or don't.

Mob Arena costs 200 to use?

Alright time to not use it anymore.

Haha jk, I was hoping there could be a wager version of each arena so the top 3 players/top 3 most kills could get prize money.

The reason for paying to get in is so players dont hoard money.


Also, will enderchests be specific to that person, such that no one else can get into their chest?

I'm going to love seeing how Command Blocks, Beacons, and armoured mobs will be implemented in 1.4. The possibilities..  That must affect mob arena if the zombies have Prot IV

Can you nerf the boss of mob arena? Its like indestructible even when everyone is whacking it.

The only way to defeat it is to attack it with a special ability enabled, eg. Berserk and Serrated Stikes.

I think the charge of $200 would be suitable if you were rewarded in some way.

You get minecarts, gravel, dirt, sticks, feathers, gold, iron, swords and pickaxes.

gold, iron,
Only these are really worth something, the rest of the shit just fills up your inventory and puts you on a quest to find a disposal sign


Even at Wave 40/50, You dont win anything half decent

Stop bringing money rewards into it. It's a way for people to spend money.

You guys complain about having nothing to spend money on. Now we offer you a way to spend a little money (Remember how you get free 600$ a day?) and you complain. The point of it isn't for you to gain money. Or to farm up your mcmmo. The point is for you to have fun and be able to spend your money in a reasonable way. The rewards are there because you should be gaining something small for doing well, acting as a small incentive. I can try to set up leaderboards for even more incentive to be the best. But stop focusing on money, you already have enough!

what do you mean?you don't earn any profit from killing any of the monsters in mob arena,so hoarding money is impossible....I like the mob arena the way it was yesterday where you were able to do whatever you wanted in the MA. I think its kind of stupid you have to get 5 people to fight in MA  with you because then if you can't get 5 people to join you then you just wasted 200$...you see what i mean? i think at least one of those restrictions should be taken off(leaning towards the 5 people to an arena thing) ,so everyone can have fun in the MA no matter how many people are on the server at the time because some people are in time zones where there is no one online ALL the time.
Title: Re: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: Ichikunjii on August 10, 2012, 05:04:24 pm
Hp.

The money is only deducted when you BEGIN.

I checked it out for myself and my balance didn't change when I entered the arena.

And I believe the reason for having 5 in the arena is because of what Tene was doing. She hoarded the arena all for herself.

Fair enough reason to put a cap on it but maybe they could lower it to 2 or 3
Title: Re: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: Paradox on August 10, 2012, 05:36:09 pm
WE are adding more arenas that will take less people. Some arenas may only need 1 person, some 2. Poketower is too huge for one person to hog up, like tene seems to have done. I'm the one configuring all the stuff for MA. I have all the ideas to balance it out but I'm not fast like 1ce with configuring. You need to give me time to set it all up.

Told us what? Not to charge for it? I've seen one complaint and it was unfounded (belief that the money was subtracted before a limit was reached).

Tell me something smarter next time and maybe I'll listen.

Even better, tell me somewhere better to get money spent, instead of your silence and I don't knows.
Don't accuse us of doing something wrong unless you have an alternative. Got it?

Yo, I told you from the beginning it was a bad idea.
And; you REALLY think them spending $200 on a petty mob arena will fix whatever you're trying to fix. No.
It won't.
So, don't accuse me of being wrong until you can come up with a viable solution in the first place. Got it?
Title: Re: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: 1cec0ld on August 10, 2012, 07:10:27 pm
No I do not, i don't understand the 'it' because you seem to be under the impression that I accused YOU of being wrong, when in fact I was simply saying we weren't.
ANd you still have no reason for why its "a bad idea" except that you think (believe? feel? wish? i don't know what word you chose) that it should be free.

Well, actually, in all reality making it not free just reduces the general amount of people who play it. If it's free everyone (generalization) if it's not, less people will play it.

IDEA: We make some arena's with no entry fee and some with entry fee's.
To even it out the arena's with no entry fee would have McMMO levelling disabled and the arena's with entry fee's have McMMO levelling enabled.

I think it's just McMMO xp gain that's disabled, but I'm not sure if you can use abilities as the warp to it no longer exists.

Now that there is more arena's, it doesn't matter if the player limit is reduced.

What if a bunch of players want to play together?

Okay, I have an Idea.
Firstly, for it to work, the entry fee would have to be taken from the competitor/s when the game starts not when you join the arena.
The idea is: the more people, the lower the cost. This way we won't need a player limit, but a maximum amount of players instead.
Eg.
If 1 person joins the arena and starts the game alone, they would have $500 taken from them, but if 2 people join, it would cost $400 each and so on.. (The money would be taken depending on how many people join when the game starts) and the maximum amount of players could be 10.

With this idea, not only can people play alone when no one else is online, but it is also evened out with the price so people won't hoard too much.
 
Title: Re: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: ArchieSalt on August 11, 2012, 07:01:05 am
Not a bad idea, Could you post it in the Mob Arena Suggestion topic i made so people can see it?

All this would require changing the MobArena code itself. You'll have to post it to their bukkitdev page if you want any hope of this.
Title: Re: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: B_rock18 on August 11, 2012, 02:18:51 pm
I'm not so sure about this idea. With more people playing a round in the mob arena, there is probably a better chance that they make it to a further wave then if someone were playing by themself. I think it would be weird to charge more for someone to have less of a chance to get far in the arena.
Title: Re: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: Tactic on August 11, 2012, 05:13:23 pm
That's so they won't hoard the arena.

@1ce - What part of the idea is not possible to implement? I can try thinking of a similar idea that does not require changing the MobArena code.
Title: Re: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: Paradox on August 11, 2012, 05:30:49 pm
MobArena doesn't take money away when you enter, jsut when you start. It just says that, trust me.
Title: Re: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: Tactic on August 11, 2012, 05:52:02 pm
Okay then, what about whenever a player joins the arena, it checks how many people are in there and takes money accordingly.
Eg
Player 1 joins the arena - $500 taken
Player 2 joins the arena - $400 taken, $100 given to player 1
Player 3 joins the arena - $300 taken, $100 given to player 1 & 2
So on..

This idea is also pretty complicated, but if it works it would be great.

Title: Re: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: Paradox on August 11, 2012, 07:01:05 pm
Don't think we can configure that.
Title: Re: Admin Meeting August 9rd
Post by: Okieskinny on August 11, 2012, 08:49:38 pm
Possibly make the server announce when someone is trying to play a game of mob arena, so it's easier for games like poketower to recruit the people required to play.
