    Ahh, Youtuber's again. Don't we all love it whenever they record? It gives McBrawl more attention, thus increasing player count and let's not forget a little extra cash. But there's one thing that seems to frustrate us.

    They don't insert the goddamn ip in the description.

    [​IMG]

    A few of us brawlers, including me, have tried to comment the ip of the server somewhere in the comments only to be burried by the spamming fan-boys, or replying to every comment that asks for the ip. This is very time consuming, and it only hurts more that some people don't even bother reading the comments. What's the use of famous YouTuber's recording, which should help us, when the audience is clueless of what they were playing?


    [​IMG]
    It's been attempted to solve this by adding the ip at the top whenever the player is in the hub. Sure it works, but in some cases, YouTubers don't even record in the hub but rather start it when they are in the actual server. So how do we, once again, solve this annoying issue?

    The idea: Display the ip when you are in the servers, not just the hub.

    It's not super complex to do (just editing properties/values of boss bar), but it can be super in the effects it will have. Since some servers have a waiting period, you can easily smack the ip on the top screen and have a way for players and audience to quickly use as a reference to the ip.

    Now, here's the catch.

    To avoid interfering with the in game performance, the display bar will only appear when in lobby, or out of the game. What this mean is it will only show up during waiting time in Mc-War or when you are eliminated say in a Party game.

    tl;dr
    Make the ip more visible more often (but not during a game) so it will be more obvious and help get more people to the server whenever YouTuber's record.


    god damn about 5 people asked ip in a row :v

    It could always be part of the boss bar, or shown frequently in chat.
    "You are currently playing mc-war.com!" or something could work.

    screw sky and his lack of ips

    That's famous youtubers for you, they don't post for people to enjoy (not all of them), they just post to get money. If they actually posted considerately, they would take the 5 seconds to write the damn IP in the description. Anyways, this is a good idea, but I doubt that they'll actually write the IP down for their subs.

    I don't believe putting the ip in the boss bar would help to solve this problem. This problem really has to do with the youtubers not putting the ip in the video description. How is this supposed to help when the commenters don't even know what the ip to the hub is?

    Why not just throw in an annotation saying the IP?

    You should of seen BajanCanadian's War video showcase. All he put as the description was, "Really fun gun related mini-game server!" I would have never discovered McBrawl because he didn't put the ip in the description, until a week later where a commenter shouted the ip in the comments. :V

    This has been a pending update for quite some time, should be added soon.

    Or why don't the Youtubers just say when they're coming like every normal person should.

    Some people make their chat extremely small or sometimes even turn chats off. I think we should add the IP at the top middle (Where it sometimes says there may be lag due to hub updates)

    You're welcome for the idea admins
    If text was displayed using the boss bar, that could also work. Or it could be on a scoreboard.

    Even Pewdiepie posted the links of the games he played in chat.
    If you look at Bdouble's video in the comments, you see me spamming away that the IP was wrong :v
