»[Factions] "Reset" Rant & Feedback

So, I really didn't want to make a big post about reset, I had a massive one beforehand, just simply never got around to finishing it. But after seeing the reset post I'm actually just annoyed. Here is my perspective on what just happened.

@aXed

My huge rant:

The reset date is a damn Friday. Ok, for one thing its a Friday, but then you make the time damn in the middle of the day for EST [I don't know what time of day it is for EU] but for NA players, that just means we're all in school while EU players can snag the corners meanwhile we're doing stuff we should be doing anyways. You clearly didn't think this reset through, and I can see that. There is no offense intended, but I think its time you fix the times so its balanced for NA and EU players for once, every reset, NA players stay up just because the times are set for EU players which I find completely bs, considering you should keep in mind quite a lot of players are NA too, despite most being EU there are still a vast amount of NA players, plenty of whom actually play a lot.

The changes are simply annoying, and just ridiculous. I know I shouldn't be calling this out but the changes aren't doing anything. Here is what it is in a nutshell 3 months down the road, all the factions on F top are now only max player factions, with 50 walls each and a 16 chunk base since you can only have 24 spawners in 32 block range meanwhile, your change for 24 spawners per 32 blocks just killed 100% of all small factions. You simply made it so bigger factions, the ones with more p2w will just succeed more. Congrats on doing the exact opposite of what normal players appeal to and look at when deciding whether or not to play on a server.

The changes continued.
We asked for a lot, we asked for different things, and I know I didn't hold up to what I had said, making a massive suggestion post, but I had expected time so I could really think things through this time, but instead of the 1-2 month wait during which the factions was meant to be REVAMPED you simply did small changes that no one takes notice too until they realize 2 days later when they can't play anymore spawners in their base and decide to go inactive like 60% of all factions players do after the first month of factions.

We wanted grinding, you gave us another reason to afk. We wanted changes, you gave us some petty ones. We wanted equality between players, you just increased the gap between the capability of members and p2w kids.

We wanted factions to not be based on numbers but based on skill, instead its still sitting in the same spot.

This is my request to you axed, post-pone your reset and take the chance to fix factions before the entire factions community disappears, we want reasons to keep playing 3 months into the reset, we want things that make our time worth working instead of afking.

We've seen a major amount of requests for a reset so here it is.

The following changes will be made:
More KOTH arenas.
Iron Golem Spawner EXP price will be higher.
Spawners per chunk will be changed from 6 per chunk to 24 spawners in a 32 block radius.

There might be some other smaller changes which I forget to mention so keep an eye on this thread.

1) Koth needs a pure revamp, fix it to be likewise other factions servers.
2) You seriously need to fix the balancing, 20 player factions are the only factions that can do anything on the server, some serious issues going on there
3) The entire economy needs a revamp
4) Add spawner levels, being able to level up your spawner to increase spawn rates using levels
5) Delay the reset for multiple weeks, make it on a SATURDAY so its fair to all players including NA.
6) Rework the power per player, add a maximum cap and make it so not only big factions can have control of the server
7) Fix spawners per chunk, no small faction will want to play with this 24 in a 32 block radius crap, its just going to make people leave because no one wants a trashy 20 player fac to be able to get somewhere on baltop.


Again this is our message out to you @aXed, we factions players are hoping you finally balance out the economy, spawners, and the reset itself so it no longer needs to reset every 2 months due to it being boring.

And yes I know, you can't accommodate everyone, but you should at least make it like every reset, on a Saturday where it is more time neutral to players. This will also give you more time to actually look towards what changes should be added and what shouldn't.

I agree with @BlueJay the only thing that i wanna say is >> Please do so we can join over 20 players in a faction its not fun with only 20 make it atleast 40-50 i beg u @aXed ifen <3 <<


-Kidifi wasent here <3

 

I agree, factions has become a place to afk, a lot of the people just afk igs and dont actually experience factions.

 

Remove casino!!

 

+1 bluejay, I totally agree with you, the time is ridiculously strange, like Friday? cmon make it at least Saturday so the NA players have a chance of getting corner claims.also instead of making this strange 24 spawners in a 32 block radius, why not keep it in a chunk radius so that small factions can become better without having huge bases, but make spawner limit 16 or 18. and about the spawner levels, if you were to add that, a lot of people would join back, and please axed, add new things, not useless add ons to pre existing things. revive facs, that's all I ask from u....

 

I completely agree. Though, I must say, your excessive use of superfluous colors gives me nausea. It's common sense, people will be more inclined to read what you've got to say the more effortless it is to read. (It also has a lot to do with psychology if you do some research.)

For future reference (as I'm aware you're fairly consistent with your use of light colors when voicing your opinion):
Really bright colors on a white background can be hard to read for many people. If there’s a glare on the screen from the Sun or a light bulb, it’s nearly impossible and extremely obnoxious.

You've made and continue to make excellent suggestions and points concerning the state of our servers, I'd hate for your casual use of font colors to undermine this simple fact. I'm aware this is an anomalous response but as it's been a common theme for a while, I thought I'd point it out. Especially if you'd like people to take everything you say seriously. Finally, I must say I appreciate the way you present arguments; rather than simply complaining and pointing fingers, you present solutions to aid in the reparation of the servers you assess to be ineffectual.

 

You made your writing small hypocrite

eaistest font my ass i had to sit up and read that

 

lol paddy

 

This must be brought to axed's attention @aXed

 

@aXed Agreeing with resetting on a Saturday rather than a Friday. Many NA players including myself are at school when the server resets.

 

I agree, especially with the fact that factions is being reset on a 2day notice. The reset should have like a weeks notice, even if there are less players on because of the reset when the final reset does happen many more players would show up
