    What can we do to improve McBrawl? - Make sure all the staff are on the same page. It is critical that with this complete overhaul of staff that everyone is 100% certain what they can do, what they can't, what they can't say, what they can etc. This doesn't just go for the new moderators and super moderators, not to point any fingers and bring up old issues but Admins need to do there jobs, and coders need to do theres and coders need to let admins do theres and not try and do it for them. Just an example.

    What is one main issue you think we need to focus on?- There really isn't one central, pressing issue that needs to be particularly adressed. The day to day managment of McBrawl needs to keep running smoothly. All the little things that need to be picked up on just need to be cleaned up. (If you need to know what these are just drop me a message, I am sure you are aware of a few yourself)

    How can we make your daily play on the servers more enjoyable? - Contests and Updates to servers. Updates - Simply adding new guns to MC-War / MC-WarZ, or adding in a couple of new commands every now and then keeps the servers interesting to players and keeps the player base what it is. If this doesn't happen, servers get repetitive and boring, Give people new objectives each week to keep them playing. Contests - Bringing the community together in a big event once or twice a month which I know you have been trying to do but perhaps run them more regularly as I am sure you are planning on doing. This'll just give people things to talk about on the forums, spark discussions and friendships etc.


    To keep my peace at mind, more twitter updates as well! Keep the community aware of what McBrawl is doing and what's going on

    Overall, I am a big fan of what you have done here, overhauling the staff and that, I've been wanting a change in the staff system here for a while but couldn't do anything about it myself anymore, so I am happy to see what is being done, I just hoped they can all be managed efficiently and effectively.

    I was waiting for this promotion. Congratulations to all the new Super Moderators. You all deserve it and have put the appropriate amount of time into Brawl. Do your jobs well.

    Ok there are a other things that I don't think you fully understood in my post. First off, I do not want mcbrawl to completly get rid of all killing gamemodes. I think that they should keep them as they are, but add another aspect of the game in so that people can work together and hopefully, that might improve the community.

    Secondly, I am not demanding 24/7 updates. However, I would like to see some small changes, as updates are very rare and not too much happens in them. Hopefully war 2.0 will change this.

    As for the warz teaming aspect of this, I don't know very much about warz, so maybe this is not a very logical solution, but I do think that when you unfriend someone on warz, it should give the person a alert, and then you are still friends for 30 more seconds before you can kill each other.
    Thanks you for your input though!

    People dont really care about objectives. They play war or WarZ to shoot players. If you don't demand 24/7 updates then what small updates do you demand? You can't just want small updates. Coders need ideas.

    Do you have any idea how hard it is to be Brittan right now? He is the lead developer, with only one other partner, for 8 major gamemodes. If you would like to help, give ideas, or contribute some code

    Putty said to give ideas on how to improve our enjoyment on the servers. That's exactly what we're doing. If you read the thread, you'd seen the part where Putty said they were going to eventually expand the coding team.

    (If I say something that is already listed above Sorry, Also if you want to reply to what I am saying make sure one you are acting mature and 2 try not to flame , thank you)
    What can we do to improve McBrawl?: I know on Mc war the server isn't pay to win ( Witch I love btw that's why I quit WarZ) But In Mc-WarZ It is two things you need to do too win, one buy a MVP and two Get a 20 man team. I want that some how gone because I think it will make non donators not want to play on the server because they can good stuff because the teams are camping the zone 6 and 5 ( I think these are the highest zones :stuck_out_tongue: Haven't played WarZ in awhile xD) So If you guys can think of some way of just controlling the amount of team members or people online I don't know but please somehow do something because for me and a lot of people it is ruining the WarZ servers and the peoples
    experience. ( I know it did for me that's why I stop buying MVP and not playing.) I would come back if this was changed.
    What is one main issue you think we need to focus on?:The maturity in chat. What I mean by this statement is the words that come out of peoples mouths in chat,I have be playing Mc-War for about a month ( Server 2) and the only staff member I have seen on a server is @XxIronRavenxX like twice ..... The chat gets out of control and really just is stupid how a 8 year can say some stuff and get away with It cause no one is watching, I think the staff is spending to much time on TS than on the servers . Heck I don't even know the Mc-War mods cause I never see them at all. It may be time zones or something else but I think it's the problem they spend to much time on TS or they stay one server.
    How can we make your daily play on the servers more enjoyable?: Get more updates flowing. I have been playing war for about maybe 8 months in all and I haven't remember any updates that It can get stuck in my mind except the SMGs which really didn't do anything cause they all suck they do no damage so it's useless. I would like if like little updates come out like every month like tiny things ( Like a new spawn or a new gun or little things) instead of waiting 1 year for a giant update which might not be worth it!

    ER my gurd, I'm just suggesting some ideas, and because there might be more coders joining the team, then that would mean that there could be more updates.

    What can we do to improve McBrawl? - What I was thinking was almost exactly what you have done. Promote people to SMOD, Moderator, GMOD, etc. This way, a lot of servers can be moderated at once. This will keep chat clean, members happy, and most importantly, make the servers fun!
    What is one main issue you think we need to focus on?- As I stated some above, keeping chat clean. By making big moves with the chat. For example, maybe, make the server be able censor da.mn, but not, "good a mom" instead of, "goo* * *om." If you know what I mean. :v
    How can we make your daily play on the servers more enjoyable? - Definitely contests. Probably, 1 a month and try to keep that pace. But, try not to do it like all in Creative, or something. Try to mix it up like, January - Creative, February - McWar, March - WarZ.

    Glad to see the promotions.

    What can we do to improve McBrawl?

    You know how most of us are here on the forums? Because we found the servers first. The servers are what needs the big change. You know what I mean, the community of the servers. Even if you censored every last cuss word on the servers, people will always find a way around it and everything reverts back to it's original state. If there is one thing you need to fix up, start with the Brawl servers first. More importantly your most threatened servers which are McWar, WarZ, and Pvp Survival.

    What is one main issue you think we need to focus on?

    As of now, the servers only. The chat brings the huge atmosphere of idiots and kids roaming around McWar and WarZ so possibly a better way to shut people up rather than censoring?

    One more thing though is something about staff. I do have something about one staff member that I will bring up upon request or whenever it is appropiate.

    How can we make your daily play on the servers more enjoyable?

    Since the only server I play on nowadays is McWar, I would say balancing every weapon starting with donation weapons on the server. I just can't stand seeing a goddamn Crossbow in a player's hand everytime I'm on Capture The Flag or a Raygun in Infect.
