Post: NGU Minecraft Server Suggestions
10-21-2011, 07:12 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello, Today I'd like to have an open discussion and collect opinions from everyone who plays regularly on the NGU minecraft server. We all know the server has its fair share of problems, some being more pressing than others. I am curious as to what other people think, and I would like to eventually make this into a poll and bring the most agreed upon issues up to Enzo for him to hopefully fix so the server can be better.

So as far as this thread goes, post what you personally find irritating about the server, and explain what you would like added/taken away, etc.



My Suggestions



  • Another Admin.
I personally would like an active administrator on the server. I love you to death Enzo but you don't spend nearly enough time on your own server to help with the small things. I do think that we should have at least one more administrator who can effectively handle things inside the server such as WorldEdit/Guard. It would just be generally nice to have more admin presence on the server.

  • Ditch the VIP world.
Simple. Nobody plays in it, and I'd MUCH rather prefer it be a nether world which is linked to survival.

  • Flint and Steel Permissions for Premiums.
As of right now the only person who can light fires is Enzo. Considering there is no fire spread, I don't see how it would be a problem in letting the people who donated to the server be able to simply use flint and steel to light fireplaces and such. At a bare minimum let moderators have fire permissions.

  • Clean up the Spawn.
The survival world spawn is atrocious. For some reason it isn't even protected, allowing anyone to freely break the spawn building. The area around the mall is protected for miles on end, yet the spawn isn't protected at all?

My Point in case:

  • Set Multiple homes for Premiums
Allow premiums to set more than 1 home. It's extremely annoying having to fly around aimlessly trying to find old buildings or landmarks when you could have simply set it as an additional home.

  • Disable Enderman in survival
Probably the most annoying issue with survival right now. Their pearls have no purpose and they spawn in pairs and aimlessly walk around and grief your buildings and land, making the moderators job harder, having to respond to more grief reports and it turning out to have no log. Disabling them would not be hard at all, here are a few links to plugins that should do the job.

  • Random seed for The next Map
For the love of all things holy, NO MORE GLACIER SEED!!! that map is so worn out it's insane. I'd rather have new places to explore in survival than the same landforms and biomes surrounding the spawn area on glacier

  • Fix some Permissions
By default premiums have God mode and OwnBlocks, However we can't directly use either command in the survival world, instead having to go through an annoying process of warping between worlds to activate a simple command. Allow premiums to use those in survival legitimately

I wouldn't go that far to say we make 2k extra a month.. We haven't even hit half the donation goal for this month and it's almost over. But you're right, if it had more active admins on and was cleaned up and ran more efficient it would bring in more players, resulting in more donations.


Well we used to receive that much at least... But hell, if it got cleaned up, things were active and up to date all that, people would donate left and right. Another thing to add to your point btw:

My only problems with the server:

Lag. Its ****ing crazily annoying when I can't play for more than 5 minutes without stuttering, removing blocks lagging, and placed blocks disappearing.

Griefers. I left because everything I built was griefed, and the new worlds resulted in all my old works being destroyed.

Loss of VIP. I reported that my VIP was missing, and my name was VIP color, but no commands worked ;p.

More Active Admins/Moderators. Anyone who was there back on the first world could fill this spot. They obviously don't grief if they are still here.

More Active Players. Everytime I get on, I see 5 people online [including myself] and 4 people AFK. Could just be my shitty luck, but who knows?

Fix the Grief Logs. Unless it uses IP Addresses, anyone could use a cracked username [people crack these accounts like crazy] and get them banned. I'm afraid of it happening to me.

Did I mention Lag? Lag is the biggest issue. Fix this, and all is well.

Keep utilizing the original server. When there were no NPCs. Sure, NPC's are fun and all, but I prefer building my home, my cross-continental rail-road, and such with friends more than I do slaying skeletons by myself all night. Spawning the items to build is what is missing. I know [or last I was on], there was the creative server and the survival server. My character is stuck in the survival server. I don't want that o.o.

New commands. Whether it be for everyone, VIP, mods, admins, it doesn't matter. More usability is key.

A command that lists the commands. Pretty straightforward, but really helpful.

Lag.

And that's about it. Seems like a lot, but most of it doesn't take much to fix. I miss the server. :c

My only problems with the server:

Lag. Its ****ing crazily annoying when I can't play for more than 5 minutes without stuttering, removing blocks lagging, and placed blocks disappearing. : Only you bro, My game runs fine on my PC.

Griefers. I left because everything I built was griefed, and the new worlds resulted in all my old works being destroyed.: Contact a mod and they'll roll it back.

Loss of VIP. I reported that my VIP was missing, and my name was VIP color, but no commands worked ;p. Only enzo can fix that, no one else.

More Active Admins/Moderators. Anyone who was there back on the first world could fill this spot. They obviously don't grief if they are still here. There's like 10 people that joined on the first day of the server that still play, including mods that played on it when it wasn't public there's prob 20 or so ......

More Active Players. Everytime I get on, I see 5 people online [including myself] and 4 people AFK. Could just be my shitty luck, but who knows? I always see like 10 online, maybe your time zone is different but around 4 PM gmt we have some nice furry nomads on there

Fix the Grief Logs. Unless it uses IP Addresses, anyone could use a cracked username [people crack these accounts like crazy] and get them banned. I'm afraid of it happening to me. there is BB logs, change your pass to something better and your account won't get banned

Did I mention Lag? Lag is the biggest issue. Fix this, and all is well. Ye you only said it 3 times..........

Then use creative..... Survival is for mobs, creative is mob free

New commands. Whether it be for everyone, VIP, mods, admins, it doesn't matter. More usability is key....... It kind of ruins survival if you have 10101010 commands

I was stating my problems with it when I last played, which, other than today and yesterday, was weeks ago.

Lag isn't so bad anymore.

VIP is back.

Griefing seems miniscule.

VIP is back.

It seems like most people are mods/admins.

There are about six people on, generally. Sadly, everyone plays survival ;p.

You clarified grief logs.

Make the commands strictly on the creative world. Its not that hard ;p.

A command that lists commands/mod changes would still be helpful. New players [of minecraft in general] won't know what lockette is or what it does. At least have a section on the main thread detailing everything.

I think a way to place water would be nice. I know its a griefing tool, but I really like utilizing water's beauty. I have fountains that need water, and am thinking of encasing my house in it.

Have OB on when you join if it was on when you left. I always forget to re-activate it, so most of my house is destroyable by anyone.

In my man cave
Some great suggestions by Matt there which really do need to be taken on board.

Few of my suggestions
The server needs to be more noob friendly, i.e there needs to be a way to get the basic commands out there for the newcomers since they won't all be from NGU and have a clue what to do.

When you first spawn in the world there needs to be something that will grab and attract the user, so an appropriate spawn & some sort of spectacular building would be much better than the current wooden box :p First impressions go along way.

One thing is for sure, alot of server modifications are really needed, just look at all the suggestions.

I just hope you can take control of the official server someday... Lol, even though you got bored of hosting your own because there was no "surviving" feeling to it. But idk, I just wish these changes would happen eventually with 1.0.0 out for sure
