Potentially Fun Idea!

[kking1]

Yeah the idea of defending the block breaker seems nice
we could have some basic people in heavy armor right next to them
and then archers or lookout people hidden around, kinda like snipers

Right I've been doing some thinking about this and maybe the best way of doing it is to have everyone starting with stone tools, that way basic stone/wood defences don't get obliterated with diamond tools within the first couple of minutes, I'm also hoping it'll prevent the "flag" being captured during the first combat zone.

However, mining resources to make tools will be permitted so as the bases start to get defended with better blocks and the walls get thicker, the game won't become tedious as people are forced to hack their way through 8 layers of cobble just to come smack against a flag covered with obsidian which is gonna take 50 seconds per block to destroy.

Also adds an almost class based element to the game as people in possession of better tools become high priority targets etc. whilst also forcing teams to delegate tasks (for example if one team focusses entirely on getting full armour and iron swords their base will be of poor quality and will be quickly wiped).

Anyway, I'm thinking of putting together a quick beta test of this idea this evening at about 8PM GMT (3PM Canadian time I believe) with 2 to 3 players per team so drop a post or let me know in game if you're interested (vent is a must)

This is almost something that i wish we had a separate map for.

Something rather small, as far as borders goes that we regenerate for every match.

I was wondering about the teleporters on our current spawn tower, i wonder if we could restrict access to them based on a user group... that way we could have a respawn point cuboided to prevent fighting or damage contained in adminium, so players are safe to respawn, then go through a red or blue teleporter that takes them back to their base.

with the mining idea, i kind of think that players should spawn with nothing at all, and make all tools from scratch. if this is a separate world as well, they shouldn't have unlimited durability.

the flag could be a chest with something in it, that cant be replaced. sponge or somthing. the chest would also contain some starting materials to make a basic base, but after that, you have to mine. this way if somone takes your sponge, you can pick it back up and return it to your chest.

just some brainstorming =)

if we'd make a separate world, we could use beds, since they work properly now. the only thing is: everyone has to sleep...

Yeah I really like this idea actually! I'm thinking instead of just giving them tools etc. We'll just start them off with a chest full of obsidian and maybe a stack of cobble? Then it'll be down to good teamwork and co-ordination to make tools for everyone and maybe adds a little bit of a class based element to the game (giving the decent swords to the good pvpers and stuff). Also having the place in some way self contained would be awesome as right not I'm thinking the arena is gonna have to be constructed almost overnight to prevent it being griefed lol

I'm down to do this for sure, I just hope with my busy work schedule on weekends that I can make it on!! I work nights this weekend but next weekend I'm on days so I would definitely be able to play when I'm on days.
