Archived Auto-smelting For Premiums

[dwarvenname]

So premiums get special abilities, and some are overpowered, some are not, one of them that I came up with is that Premiums should have the ability to auto-smelt things in their hot bar for a certain price. (Maybe 1 copper?) I believe this is a pretty good idea, and think it's mostly fair.

I honestly despise the premium features we already have other than always connecting.

I would not like this what-so-ever.

 

[dwarvenname]

I think that premiums shouldn't be able to get on whenever they want, but this would be a nice thing to have.

Premiums are overpowered they shouldnt be able to beat one faction full a noremal people by there self out smelting will just make them heven harder to beat

 

[dwarvenname]

Perhaps de-buffing premiums could help solve that problem.

The only time being OP matters is in direct competition, basically combat. This means that features like exclusive access to diamond armor, 50% shorter cooldown rates, keeping inventory and experience on death, etc, are the traits that are OP. Features that in no way affect combat, like joining the server when its full or putting random blocks on your head, do not make the Premiums OP. Auto-smelting using copper or silver doesn't affect combat at all, so I think it seems fine. In fact, replacing some of the OP features mentioned with non-OP features like this seems like a really good idea to me.

If it cost silver would anyone actually use it?[DOUBLEPOST=1364675115,1364675094][/DOUBLEPOST]They could just use a normal furnace for no extra cost.

thats not a premium thing thats just someone who is good at pvp, ive been able to own premiums before i was one, not all premiums are tough.
Also i would hate auto smelting, hell i hate it when i do it with mcmmo, sometimes people want the ore instead :/

Before people start ranting on how OP Prems are, just consider the fact that we already have a workbench (/wb) and a backpack (double chest (/bp)). So maybe having a furnace aswell for a command (/fn?) I don't know, just throwing ideas around, but Overlord made a good point, why would you pay for smelting when you could do it for free? There's no logic in that.

As a known dwarven hoarder (to those who have been inside my workshop/warehouse), and known to nearly never spend money on something I can get/make myself, I wouldn't use this feature.

For those who shout everything is OP:
No, it is not. A long time ago, we made tons of testing, evaluating, polls over the whole community who prooved that the current system is abalanced in PvP and normal combat. You are only representing your point that is just atm and probably biased because you made some bad experience with a few premiums. Most of your complaints arise because the others have better mcmmo stats thatn you, which everyone can train without a problem.

To the Idea and the suggester:
A magical furnance is not really what we though about yet and it doesn't really seem to be realistic either. A furnace is something pretty heavy and hot, so carrying this around with you wouldn't sufice really....but sure, we might add new aspects to premiums over time. But we ensure those additions aren't too powerfull and fit in the set-up we have right now.

Premiums still loose inventory if we manage to run away for a few seconds, but saying that is OP is getting silly.

As for auto-smelting with a high enough Mining skill anyone can do this, so why add that as a feature for premiums?

People who are premium are people who have donated to the server for future upgrades onto the server. For donating, premiums get the ability to get on the server when it is full as a perk for donating.

Not every premium is considered "powerful". The only reason these premium are so strong is because they have the time to grind up McMMO skills, get god weapons and armor. To this day, I've still seen numbers of non-premiums be able to kill a premium or a group of them. Diamond armor doesn't make a premium strong, its his/her skill that counts.

As for the ability to smelt things for premium, it isn't very role-play-ish in any way. A backpack is RP-ish and so it the ability to wear a hat.

To add on to what ulumulu said, sh4z0r was a non prem, and we raided together a while back and he destroyed 3 premiums by himself. In iron armor. Train you Mcmmo and you can also be "OP"

I like the furnace idea. I've been thinking about it for sometime

Premiums may have a some what advantage, but "OP" doesn't come into terms at all, we pay for it, we don't find it lying on the floor, just pay for it if your annoyed, but then again the usual excuse for people like this are: My parents won't let me. Also I know people say, there should be a way to pay over phone. So you can pay without your parents knowing ... That is not only illegal but stupid as you can be detected. Honestly some people , also, no need to add a feature like that as we have many already and you don't need to smelt things portably, you could just use /wb to make a furnace.[DOUBLEPOST=1364765272,1364765105][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, a prem with no stats against a non prem with stats would win against the prem, its about the mcmmo, stop looking for easy ways.

Actually, I'd say premiums can seem extremely op. Considering that they can come at you every 20 seconds without losing their diamond armour. However this doesn't mean you can't kill them. There is barely a difference between iron and diamond.

The premium demographic is stronger, richer players. This is why a lot of newer non premium players assume they have some kind of overpowered pvp advantage. Most of the players who play the server enough to buy premium also play the server enough to get stronger, get richer, etc. The root of your problem is not that premium players have premium, it's that they're older, stronger, richer, etc.
