Difficulty (Lots of Monsters on Lots)
« on: May 24, 2014, 05:47:45 PM »
People have been upset about the amount of monsters on lots and the difficulty and whatnot and stuff so people told me to make a poll. Yeah.

Spawn less mobs on lots and move them to reszone

I am not sure that this being on the forums will really cover most of the community, considering a large number of people on the forums are either A: Old Players who have a lot of tools and ores thanks to them donating for tinywe and using it in the reszone before it was removed. Or B: Don't play on Innectis much anymore.

I think there is an issue with it being on hard. If it is too hard, then it would be difficult for new people to stay because they have 0 armour, and if they go in the reszone at night, then they will probably die 5 times due to 1 hit exploding creepers then rage quit.

So either A: Normal difficulty, or B: maybe make there be less mobs at least around lots.

We changed the difficulty to hard a few months ago because for most, it felt too easy. This is a survival server after all. If you dig underground, you won't find many mobs unless you find a cave system. With that, getting armor isn't too hard.

The problem isn't in caves; it's mostly above ground at night. With people just starting out, I see them die several times within a short time period. Getting your first non-leather armor is really hard because you don't have armor to face monsters in caves and on your lot you die over and over trying to get your stuff back after the first time, probably losing many of your items along the way. Getting mobbed by 10 or so zombies, and a few creepers and skeletons can be impossible without diamond armor as well, which is the case on many lots. I have full diamond armor and enchanted weapons, and even then doing anything at night on my lot is a challenge. I have to spend the whole time trying to not die rather than getting any work done :L
(Sorry for lack of flow in the sentences, I was sleepy when I wrote this.)

Well really I noticed a LARGE number of death increased since we made it hard. But yeah the hard difficulty is making it very hard to even build at night or in rain. So often I am stuck waiting inside and until the weather clears up or it is day since I can't convince 3 or 4 people to sleep in a bed, and I don't want to pester for it being day. Believe me, this "poll" won't really show everyone on the server's opinion. This is very mixed because we have to find a way to balance it and make it easy for new people, but a challenge for those who are "established" on the server. That is what needs to be done.

Minecraft is easy, Innectis and IDP make it even easier, i'm sorry but if you can't survive in this game I think you need to rethink your strategy.

Well so far it is 6 saying it has become too hard, vs 5. Frig, I don't want it too easy, if anything I am not overly challenged atm and am handling myself decent. But I know not everyone is able to keep up, especially newer people, so should it be a little easier in some way, yes. We have to find the middle ground of being easy and hard.

It's been hard for a while now, I'm pretty sure you've died more than 10 times.

It's easy because you already have diamond and enchanted swords and full diamond and enchanted armor!
How are you supposed to get to that point if you die 5 times a night? You cant exactly mine on hard without armor and a decent sword.
I don't even know anyone who STARTS minecraft on hard in singleplayer. Some of the best people at minecraft I know start on normal for a while, or even peaceful for the first night.
Another thing, Innectis is trying to get new people. Starting at hard is going to drive people away! (if it hasn't already) Noone wants that ):

Exactly what I said. Which I have seen a few people die a few times and not come back. Those people who say "suck it up noobs" like I said have been playing FOREVER so it makes sense that it is easy for them. We have to find a way to balance it for new and old players.

I was expecting Adam to suggest torches. But that works too.
