Idea Hierarchical Organization of the Raid Society: Introducing Raid Points!

While the adorable 'But it's not vanilla minecraft!' argument may be used against this, I believe something needs to be implemented for Raid to have any chance at becoming a mildly populated server. New players need an objective beyond 'Make a house' or 'Get diamonds'. There needs to be an external drive that'll keep players active. The key word here is "goals". Goals that aren't offered on any other well known server. Currently new players stick around because A-This is their first server or B-They prefer a ghost town server over a populated server. You can see this trend when the server resets. Everyone joins in because the goal is to become established; to start from scratch like everyone else. The goal is to excel above everyone. But after the first few days that adrenaline sparked from the race dies. Interest is gone. There are a few people that stick around simply because they've embedded themselves into the small Raid community but it's a very small handful of players. Once the majority of players make their basic necessities to 'survive' the game becomes boring. They've essentially beat it. What's the goal now? Become the best team? Why is that so important? <<Goals goals goals>>

 

I dont really like this idea, because i dont think that this fits in raid.

 

Yes, something should be done. Not sure about this.

 

hmmm I see your point but it doesn't really fit into raid, I think it needs to be something else.

 

As I said in staff slack, I love the concept behind the idea. I definitely agree raid news a larger end goal, something to strive for. More than just getting diamonds and building a base. However this specific idea doesn’t really fit raid too well imo. I’d like to see the idea redeveloped or have another with the same concept behind it.

 

I love your idea to add a reward system. But as Anonymous said it doesn't quite fit the 'Raid' title too well. I'd love to see an idea constructed that'd allow for more raiding and PvP action ans as I've stated on many previous theads, I believe Brawl may have to dump some resources into simplifying trackers. Tutorials are great but there has to be an understanding that many players may not be the brightest and/or lack motivation to go through the boring task of mining one of the slowest breaking materials in Minecraft. Personally I think a plan should be developed to merge ordinary survival skills (through a point, leveling, or reward system) which will extend a player's ability to track further and/or more accurately. This would A) Establish a goal and B) Add onto the amount of conflicts and raiding. I haven't built a tracker since 1.7 because of the ridiculous amount of time it requires to build and use a new one. And recently I've quit because 'surviving' is no longer a goal. So extending my play time on Raid seems pointless besides waiting around for PvP (which I honestly don't care for beyond the long waiting period and having a slow computer). Where's on War I'm constantly trying to level up for new weapons and win matches every round to boost the speed at which leveling is achieved. To me the cycle on War is perfect until you've unlocked everything. Raid needs something similar.
