My idea is something never done before. MINI FACTIONS. Details : - 5 Man Factions. 1 Ally only. - 500 Power each player (Enough for a 20 chunk buffer) - 2k by 2k border - End is disabled and Nether is disabled. - 2 Month Map - Some sort of f top prize (MUST NEED, OR THE SERVER WILL 100% DIE) - 50 Dollar Paypal. ^^^ Gameplay : - The server is 1.7 based (1.8 as an extension) - 1.7 Cannon Mechanics. - Kits stay the same - Trench/Blast/Shockwave pickaxes forsale in buycraft only, or winnable from crates. - Current players with /fly cannot fly in wilderness, only in their own faction territory and possibly allied(?). - Genbuckets. - Sand wall gen buckets. Economy : (tbd)
Tbh I somewhat like the idea, though if it were to ever take place it would be better off in another "realm" (like a hub server type thing), because for one /fly is NOT at all cheap and it is basically wasting someone's money to remove it - even if it is still available in faction and ally(?) territory. It would be a good idea for a hub-type factions server, but not the full on faction server that Beast is.
To be honest I like some of the mechanics of this, as in smaller factions and smaller borders and 1 ally, I think that would help in raiding and faction pvp etc, The only problem is with such big bases and such a small world I fear that would cause some issues. also if you want huge bases is 2 month maps enough time for that. I reckon with a bit of tweaking and negotiating this could become a really good idea. Keep thinking on it and developing it and you never know the staff team might impliment some of it
Apologize for spelling/grammar mistakes as I'm on my phone. To start off, thank you very much for the feedback. Star, on what you said. Beast cannot handle the concept of a 30 man faction, or a full factions server. Unless tom wants to dump 1500 dollars in f top prize and pay hundreds to you tubers to advertise a server trailer, I don't think he has that. That's why I'm still wondering why you expect a "full server", beastfactions will average 20 players a day and unless you want to get bored to death searching for a base in a 8k x 8k map in a 6 month map, go fucking ahead. Obviously you haven't learned your lesson from the last 3 maps on how it dies for the last 2/3 months and drops down to 5 people. /Fly needs to be nerfed, right now no one cares about losing their money, we care about saving the server and we will make any sacrifices possible. I bought fly when it was around 100 dollars, look at the price it is now. @xCeleritas you make a very good point, I think a 3k border may be the sweet spot. As for @Conal , bases can be made in a weeks time with gen buckets. That also brings me to another point, schematica printer should work amazingly on here on max settings, this improves overall player experience and is very good for cannons, farms, and overall base building .
Right now, I think you guys should shut down the server and put it under development. Start beastfactions over again on map 1.
