So, the player count is raising wich is amazing but if i join a server i look if is there is a healthy economy and if it is possible to make a base (claimed) and i'm not the onlyone one that does that. we have fac fly wich is amazing and helps people with making their bases. to make it easier for people to make bases there are a copple things that you can do 1- fix sponges... i don't think i should explain why lol 2- add trench pickaxes, a pickaxe that mines in an area. trench 1 : 3x3x1 trench 2:3x3x2 trench 3: 3x3x3 (blocks) 3- faction power, you don't seem to understand it phill. a fac with 30 or 40 power can't do anything and your excuse of making a base that fits to your power is bs. you can raid them way to fast. unclaimed bases are not smart for spawners becuase you don't get them back and there are a lot of xrayers. so they have no option really. or an headmod gives his alt fly and starts raiding people .... (pulse) making it 20-30 power per person would be way better with 6 people in your fac you can make a decent base and the bigger factions will have bases where you need a cannon that can easy shoot trough 20 chucnks 4- 25 chuck buffer. becuase big fac will get massive power with this make a max of 25x25 chunks you can fit 160 walls in wich you need a cannon for that can easy shoot 25 chunks. we had 60 people in our fac and had 90 walls or so. we got overclaimed becuase we died 4x thats just no fun tbh. schemetica is allouwed so building the cannons is no problem for a normal minecraft player eihter. 5- make insiding bannble, it might sound weird but by doing this you can make a base with way more people without the risk of being insided 6- ftop reward. at the end of the map who ever is ftop gets an reward. this will motivate people to make bases and raid others to increase their chances. so far this is what i can remember that i wanted to suggest/ tell.
True mees but ppl cant stay immortal forever and as for that, the whole point of factions is to be at war and have your select allies isn't it? So its the fac owners fault if they invited the person.
I edited your post to put numbers on each point so I can reply to each one hope that is okay. Just want to say thank you now for your post as it seems you have thought through most of these posts 1. What do you mean by fix sponges, what is wrong with them and what needs fixing? 2. I personally think this is a good idea, hopefully we can figure out a way of doing this without custom enchants, I will have a look at some plugins/commands im sure I can find one that I can suggest to the head staff that they might like, its up to them if they want to add it 3. Now this has been a long discussed thing. The problem is the whole point of faction power is you need to maintain enough to be able to safely keep all of your claimed land. Overclaiming would become impossible if you needed like 10 kills to lower someones faction power. you have to try and defend your base without dying that is the whole point. That being said I do believe it should be raised, but so should the ammount of power you take off someone per kill, because that is the whole point in trying to kill people out in the wild at there bases, you try and lower their faction power enough to overclaim their base. You have made a good point though that you need more power to make bigger more durable bases. But as phil has stated changing the faction power mid reset causes a whole host of problems. I am all for this if we can figure out a fair way to do it that doesnt make big factions overpowered and unraidable, and that doesnt mess up to much stuff on the server mid reset 4. I agree there should be a claim buffer and im glad you put this in the suggestions considering you want to raise the power, helps to stop big factions being too op but as I said this needs to be discussed more 5. Just because you get salty over being insided doesnt mean we should make it banable. Although i have noticed that the biggest problem currently on beast is that everyone insides. THis is a problem because if a big faction spends a long time on a base and gets insided then most people think fuck it and leave. We dont want that, but as people say insiding is a big part of factions too. What i suggest is that we dont make it bannable but we make it harder to do. We currently have /f owner. I would suggest doing this to your base, only moding people you absolutely trust and then place blocks and water over your chests in your base so people cant cegg them. Perhaps we can figure out other ways to make insiding harder but not impossible if you have any suggestions 6. I like this idea we just need to make sure f-top is fair for the right things, ei blocks and spawners and money and land etc, we need to make sure we have the right balance but I think this could be a good idea, I have noticed some changes to f top and im sure phil has it all sorted fairly so I dont see why this couldnt be a thing
Smh they tried f owner and that didn't do shit, it's all about strategy and trust. I'd say treat your fac members good and it won't happen
Raise the power... @Conal #3, what problems do you suppose it causes? It doesn't cause any at all. Infact it is only causing problems to the people on the server right now because. A. People get overclaimed too god damn easily. B. Smaller factions won't be able to build any bases - making it difficult for them to get started onto the server. C. And if they can't get started on the server, they will just join the bigger factions. they will feed more power to f top #1 so they can become richer and richer. #2, Phil has already said this isn't "Op factions". Have already suggested stuff like this myself. I think you guys are scared that It will make the big factions even more powerful. But no, that is actually not the case because it will equal everything out and just be the same. Everyone gets 50 power. And as long as you guys make it so that bases should be unraidable (By setting a faction cap of 50/100 anything like that), and max buffer claims that we already have.
