Here are a list of things that should be changed back on skyblock, or simply changed, to make skyblock more enjoyable and hold a strong, stable community once more. Feel free to comment below with suggestions to be added on Improvements: Put old auction plugin back Reset spawn nether world, fix zombie pigmen despawning Add wolves on the pet menu Fix animal despawning glitch Have a complete reset of money, items, islands, due to cheated-in items resulting in illegitimate money and items Revert back to auction house along with the auction plugin, but actually enable all the necessary commands Add back some old commands and things from the previous plugin, such as: The menu for the whole island Old challenges coupled with the new challenges Commands such as /is trust, which left a more lasting change /is info, which allowed a break down of island level contributed by each item(s). @vsteelcityv @Finalninjadog @surgetheurge
Tbh I like the new skyblock plugin thingy. Auction ones sucks and auction house would be nice to bring back. It's kinda fun to spam the chat with auctions in this new plugin tho lel @Finalninjadog
Also, I think the server still needs a reset, both island and economy. Reason why, people still have glitched in items from the challenge glitch awhile back, so islands need to be reset. Economy, people have money they shouldn't have. Mainly people either sold the glitched items or used alts to abuse challenges.
I think it'd be good if players had the choice as to whether their islands got reset or not though. I know that most people with the glitched stuff (if they actually still play) would opt to keep their islands, but I for one didn't even know about the glitch until ages after it was fixed and I don't want to lose my island. It's taken me a fair several months to get in its current condition and I've still go stuff I want to build on it. I really don't want to go through the trouble of rebuilding it all over again. Perhaps if the people who opt to keep their island have the whole thing investigated by staff members to see if they actually have glitches items and if they do then it gets reset, and if not they get to keep their island. That being said I do think a lot of the inactive islands should be reset, there's a whole bunch around me that haven't been built on for ages. But I don't want mine reset.
Honestly, I don't mean to throw you down or anything, but look at myself and vsteel here. We worked day after day to make our islands amazing, to bring in income, to be on top. My island group was able to get a hold on about half of the server money, 700,000. We split it up over multiple accounts, but then here come these glitch abusers, who go ahead and get 1000 over that amount and put themselves on baltop. I don't think there could be any solid way to prove that they did glitch abuse, so all islands should be reset. I of all people calling for a reset, that's certainly something: I've played for over 3 years now, racking in hundreds, maybe even thousands if you include all the time spent afk for farming mobs and crops. I, out of all people, have a TON to lose. I lose my first main island (not orig island, but first true dedicated one) and all the time and effort I put into it. That alone was about island level 1200 or so. I lose the island I put together with Fizzypie and TheCuteSparkles, as well as the copy of that made to preserve and improve it. The first being about 3500, the second being near 5000. I lose the island I put together with MrGold and XsFireStorm/TerraPhoenix over the summer, totalling to about 7-9 thousand, unsure, vsteel may know better actually? I lose TerraPhoenix's island and all the work we put in there, making our absolutely amazing enderpearl farm which can bring in a massive income of I believe approximately 20,000 per 2 hours, plus maybe 20 minutes to actually do the challenge. I lose all these and more, and all the hard work I put in. However, to give skyblock a new era, a new chance, we must be willing to change, we must be willing to knock down what we had to build something new, something greater. We must be willing to forsake everything for the mere chance to build it again, because that, my friends, is the American Dream. Putting everything on the line for a possible gain, a possibly overnight fortune, for being #1. We aren't meant to sit here, dillydallying and 'thinking' over this decision on our butts. We need to stand up and make a choice, a choice for the future of this server. A choice to MAKE SKYBLOCK GREAT AGAIN
I understand where you're coming from, but I really don't want to lose my island. I don't want to go through all the trouble of remaking it from scratch and losing everything that I worked so hard to achieve on my own.
Look at it this way. With the current stuff, you have basically no chance of getting in top 3. If you were to even get close to a threat at that, the forces of old would be summoned and the island levels would increase magnificently, leaving you dead behind. However, this would be because of the current advantage we have, with such a great foothold in the server already. If we knock off this foothold, and whatever carvings one may have found, everyone falls down, together, and must start from the bottom. This time, it can be such a better race, a race to the top from equal footing. I don't believe skyblock has ever been reset, and I know for a fact that there hasn't been a reset that was not undone under Surge's ownership. So now, I bid you, wouldn't you like to be #1? Wouldn't you like to be able to strive to the top, to compete with others for the glory and honor of ruling skyblock?
To be honest I don't really care about the skyblock baltop or is top, i'm already first place on 2 of the skywars leaderboards and 2k points away from the last one. I just wanted to demonstrate my ideas of an efficient skyblock island and making large scale, impressive projects with the added effort of actually getting the materials. to me, the skyblock leaderboards are just an added bonus. I was gonna use my money to buy lots of villager eggs for my iron farm anyway.
I say it again revert to the old skyblock plugin. This new one promotes the use of anvils on other peoples islands, as well as opening gates and doors that you shouldn't be able to. Also, the /is coop command does not work, the equivalent of the /is trust command, which worked fine. These commands are confusing, jumbled, and turning away some of the delights of skyblock
Things like anvil use, opening gates/doors etc can be toggled in the /is settings menu, however the pvp settings don't work. And the pets menu is a lil' derpy, you have to click a couple of times to actually get your pet to do something. And from what I gathered the /is coop command is kinda like the trust command, whether it works some of the time and not the rest, I'm not sure. I wouldn't mind the new plugin once there's a setting to enable/disable picking up items on other players islands to stop people from stealing stuff dropped on the floor (like on a farm or if someone died)
I attempted to toggle the settings, and nothing changed. I tried to use /is coop multiple times, but it didn't work. This plugin is much for difficult and annoying, at least in my eyes.
Skyblock was great, it used to have a solid 30 active players on a daily basis, which was quite great. The community was amazingly positive, and there were 2-3 mods who were constantly active. So yes, it was great before
Well it'd be good if the command did work, or if you could have island staff like the other plugin. Anyway, just because there's lots of commands doesn't mean that everyone has to use them all. They can just stick with what they are comfortable with.
I wonder if there would be a way to incorporate both plugins, so we could have the ideal functions of each one, allowing for a working environment and the new protection with the old menu system and new challenges?
so i got the dev on the line of askyblock, and he is asking me what changes we want, and all I can find in this thread is "change change it back" Nice job blowing smoke up my ass -.-
lol thats exactly what i am trying to do but no one has the attention span to sit down for 5 seconds and write down what this new plugin is missing.
http://squadcraft.net/threads/add-s...tors-from-picking-up-items.19421/#post-250843 And while the suggestion's out there about merging ideas from the two plugin, it'd be nice to have a command like /is info again to see the levels and most used blocks and stuff, just to get a nice idea of the stuff involved on the islands.
As in it would only work should you be the island owner? Because I tried it on an island I am a part of with a friend of mine, and they could not do anything even after I'd cooped and it said I cooped them. I'll be glad to make a specific list of commands for you to add back in UPDATE: Please also comment any commands/things from the old plugin that you would like back, to be added into the list
I'm from everywhere sky wars, prison,factions,kit pvp and a bit of sg This was back when squad was at its prime, the whole server was great
Terra is in the air force now, he joined late March I believe and is going through training till September if I'm not mistaken. Everywhere, yet you neglect to say skyblock Actually, I'd argue that. Sure, when squad was at prime, it was great. However, this summer as well, when myself, TerraPhoenix, and vsteelcityv were all able to push some changes on the server, get a new map with Sparrow, get some long needed updates and stuff, skyblock started doing a lot better
Exactly, so you can't just say skyblock was never great if you don't know what you're talking about.. I still am really confused as to what you are saying
Yeah well I do know what I'm talking about, after I left squad went to shit, max players it got daily was about 40 and slowly went down
So either you're calling my claims wrong or you're clearly mistaken. During the summer months squad didn't max hit 40, it was much higher than that. Skyblock itself had a stable 25-30
