Map Discussion

I agree with the idea of having echests for a couple days before and after the reset, if it does happen. Like Brawler said, under water temples would definitely be the focus feature as far as map generation goes.

 

alright ritzy you have a point there but let me add in on a couple things, first of all i know how you feel as i have 15+ doublechests of diamond armor along with 5+ double chests of diamondswords and a whole chests of op swords and such, but if you think about it, the whole point of a new map is to create new and easier opportunities for new players. At the same time, adding in an enderchest would help secure at least a bit of a player's favorite items. I know how you feel as I own alot more diamond armor and such than you think.

Id like to add one more thing to this post: not even HALF of the current map on pvp survival have been used or sought. I know the majority of players would like a new map since they dont own much and therefore will not lose much but at the same time, it gives us old players a chance to fight more people wiith more teams and armor, assuming enderchests are aloud. Also, about the enderchest idea, I believe that an enderchest should be placed at spawn as not all players have access to the materials needed to create one, HOWEVER, it should be made so that only players with pvp protection can use it, or players that are not in combat.

 

it really needs to be reset in my opinion, fresh start.

 

The point of this reset is to get a fresh start for all the noobs, not for you to keep all you OP **** and beat the crap out of everyone so nobody can get stuff. I feel you though, Do you even know how much armor I have in my banks, way more than that. I'm not complaining, but do a reset putty. It gives people a chance to at least be good to show their skill.

Maybe 1 chest or a double chest, and 1/10 of gold like LuckyPop said.

 

I'm as rich as you atleast, but I still want the map reset if we can keep a few items (not more than one chest or inventory). Now you will propably ask why I'm not annoyed that I will loose all the items I collected and all the structures I built in the last 8 months:
I'm simply at the point where there is nothing left to do. I have vaults and alts filled with armor, OP armor, dia blocks, iron blocks and so on. I don't need anything and I don't pvp for fun, so the only thing left to do is raiding and even that gets boring.

 

That would totally destroy the point of resetting the map. Than you would only need to build new bases, not to farm all the items again which means that all the new players still have no chance.

1 chest or inventory is the maximum for me.

 

The way I look at it. It's good for the new people that just started. As for the older people like me and ritzy have worked hard for these safe keepings and would like to enjoy them. I'd like for staff to put about 4 ender chests for our valuable materials. Agree or disagree with me. This is just my opinion. Like if you feel the same way.

 

How about two maps? One old and one new. You could go to like a spawn and go through a portal to worlds one or two.

 

This would be amazing
Just give us a small enderchest or something and let us keep our gold
Or just keep our gold, I really don't care
If this going to happen will there be a date @chickenputty

 

If you do this reset and since I don't have an echest I'm pretty much screwed, oh well I'm just going to lose a sharp V dia sword, 20 dia blocks, 40 iron blocks and loads of armor but apart from that nothing....
Meaning that I'll probably never come back. Besides this benefits only the " noobs " altough as stated above, probably half the map hasn't been used. People just need to go out and find adventure instead of killing pigs all day or hoping to kill a full iron.

 

Will teams reset?

 

Our team has many resources (384 iron blocks, over 2000 gold, ~ 64 dia blocks and a lot more) too, but I think it would be cool to have a complete new map, which you can discover.

But one question: What about the sponges in the Ocean Monuments? Do you want us to get them and jump with them?

PS: I don't want to lose the stuff D; , one inventory pls

 

all i want it an chest and my inv items.

 

I think the map needs to be updated, so the new features in 1.8 can be added. As other players have said, you should create a command like /enderchest a couple of days before the reset so players can put their valuables in it. The gold shouldn't reset either.

 

How about items at shop?

Do we need buy valuables back?
or
Can we deposit stuff by selling them temporarily? (though it costs 15% tax to buy them back)

 

The shop will propably be reset with the map.

 

Id like to recognize the fact that more than the majority of the players who play on pvp survival are players who just camp in spawn and fist fight one another. I feel like a new map is comming but using the reason; so that new players will have a chance doesn't sit right, I feel as though even if the map resets, more than the majority of the players will still stay in spawn and fist fight each other. (they're too lazy i guess)

 

I really hope we can keep at least an inventory of things. If we don't I wont be happy XD

 

Without reading comments to alter my opinion, I'll say what comes to my mind:
I Had a Dream: Like most others, I've come to this server a complete noob. From making dirt houses outside of spawn to making hidden and uknown bases, I've progressed like the rest. Slowly a double chest at my base turned into a sky vault, then a single nether vault, and eventually a burden to my warps list (most of you know this struggle). Many of us, " the PvP Veterans" know the feeling of staying in a vault for to long. It's scary knowing someone could be watching you and soon, take it all away. A server reset poses the same threat. A threat that could make each vault, each base, each tracker disappear all at once. A dream destroyed.
A New Beginning: As most of us know, some of the pleasure from PvP comes from the hardwork in earning items. Items then become treasured like a trophy. However, many of us have grown filthy rich and these items have become as valuable as dirt. A strike of a new start could open up everyone's mind towards the hardships of what it was once like to be on this server as a "noob". The survival part of PvP comes back into play with a new beginning.
Cycle: This idea revolves around the "I Had a Dream". Many PvP Veterans will have everything (if an inventory is allowable to keep then just about everything) taken away. They will most likely stand on the border of the gate, deciding if it's worth going through days of work to get back to where they once started. Mining 1oos of diamonds and 1,000s of iron ore along with smelting is a hassle. Slowly chiseling into the 1.4175x10^10cubic/m to dig out what we've already had seems helpless.
Fresh Air: When walking out of spawn (512 blocks out), it's apparent that the place looks bombarded. The broken ruins of many houses and failed attempts at a happy stay can be seen. A new start could flatten the land and make it seem new. Not to forget the new features that will come along with 1.8. Although this would be good for the beginning, over time fresh air becomes stale.
Summing it up: I must say that my views towards a new map are quite neutral. All of my hard earnings (along with others) would be crushed but a bite into a new world could be refreshing. If the server restarts, I say everything goes along with the past. No inventory stacking, no gold, no enderchests. [Think deeply about it] Equality is something that needs taken into consideration. People like me and others have a lot more to lose. The only way to make it work is to let each person keep everything or a specific % of it (which is irrelevant). For the sake of fairness, I believe everything goes or everything stays to keep equality.

 

I'm okay with the reset only if we have some storage place for like 1 set of p4 or something
