During a conversation in general today, someone suggested that Premiums need to be nerfed. Though I disagree, I would like to hear your opinion on this, as there are certain features that wouldn't bother me if removed from premium, but at the same time, there are features that premiums have that if removed, I wouldn't donate.

What do you think?
 
I disagree. You only keep your items if you didn't hit anyone, so it's not that overpowered. Besides, it's a pretty fair price for what you get, so I think very few people would donate if it was nerfed.

I don't think so. I'm enjoying it as-is just fine, and there really should be a strong incentive to support the server. While premium opens up new ways of playing and activities that otherwise might be off-limits, I don't think a lack of premium makes the game that much less enjoyable, so I don't really see that a nerfing would address any problem. I think this falls under, if it aint broke...

I would only remove /fix - fix is just a tiny bit completely OP. But even if they don't I won't complain, I spend good money on that premium :P
 
We must also take in to account that premiums get early access to newly released worlds. Well, most of them anyway.
 
Premiums don't need to be altered- for an array of reasons.

The biggest reason out of all- would be the fact of the money we spend goes to Run the server.​
 
I think prem being just a bit OP is good because it offers a nice incentive to support the server. Only thing I would say is possibly nerf the /fix command, but otherwise prems being overpowered is a good thing... Keep in mind this is a proud non-prem saying this...
 
Do you want to play on this server? If you do stop making stupid threads like this are.
 
I think people should stop hating premiums because of our benefits. I personally think they should be gratefull to us. We are the ones who actually support the server, without us those haters couldn't play at all. We keep the server running. Ofcourse, I understand not everyone could buy premium/donate to the server for many reasons and this might be unfair. Maybe premium is a little 'OP' but it is more than fair in my opinion.

If you even read the main post, you would have noticed he said he disagreed but wanted others thoughts.

As far as premiums go, I have pvp tested with my alt and taken down god armoured premiums. Granted, they were not great pvpers, it is premium that decides who wins a fight. For that reason, I see no need to nerf premium.

Server is making money out of the premium feature, and in my opinion if you don't like the feature leave the server or buy it with regals. Those kind of threads have been made many times and many times got many disagrees and flame wars on it. So I prefer not making this kind of threads about "complaining on premiums buffs".
 
@Phrowenia - The only flamer I see is you. Threads like these are intended to see if premium features can be balanced in such a manner as to allow all players on MassiveCraft to enjoy the server, even if they can't afford Premium. There is no reason to be upset with such a thread.
 
Anyone who feels they have too much power as a premium member can feel free to dump their inventory after death; right into my donation chest. ;)

Seriously, you'll feel a lot better about yourselves, it's only fair...
 
They must already be enjoying the server or they would be on another one. I know I didn't hang out on the first server I joined trying to get them to fix what I thought was stupid or could be done differently to my liking. I searched more servers until I found massivecraft……Here I am like a year and half later.

6 euros/$8.36 is not hard to come by at any age, you can even earn it selling regals. Instead of being jealous of what we have, go earn it. And don't start with I don't have a credit card crap. We live in the year 2014, open your eyes the next time you're in the check-out lane of any major store.
 
I think everyone is entitled to their own oppinion. The features are there to make donating more interesting. And like @Lady Rose said, it's all for the server. I mean, come on. I personally haven't seen a better server <3
 
The pvp on this server has gone so far and stupid that it doesen't even matter anymore. Not only doses it look stupid when you teleport around and spam potions, nobody cares wether they die or not. I personally stopped with the pvp around the time god armors were required in order to pvp at all. What is this server? A place were we fight as blue shiny wizzards for the title of being the most "swag"? Or a place were we fight as real nations, were we fight as armies and were the deaths actually matters. It's an roleplaying server after all, behave like one!

I remember the old times of massivecraft, were we could join the fight even in iron armor, and were you actually could win since one of the sides coulden't afford it anymore. You were cautious when raiding, used tactics, diden't just jump in and spam potions like a motherfucker. Everything was more realistic. It was becouse as many people weren't premiums.

The real issue on this server is the ability to keep items on death. I want to see it removed, so that we once again can fight without the immortal blue shiny wizzards. I want to see real battles, were non - premiums and premiums fight together. I want to be able to conquer, you can't in a place were nobody cares wether you die or not.

The premium features are many, I'm sure that we will still donate even if you diden't keep items. Maybe make you able to lock more chests as premium or something? But the ability to keep items on death is stupid, and it ruins the fun of the server. I personally are considering quitting of no change is done.

Thank you

Well, personally, I believe that many wouldn't donate if it weren't for that feature. No offense server, but, since I don't have a job (Due to age), I wouldn't donate if it weren't for this feature. That's why I pay people regals to be premium. Also, I am not on here for PvP and RP all of the time, I just want to do whatever I want. This server is good for that. When I want to RP, I will. When I want to PvP, I will. There's more to this server than PvP. Keeping items on death only works if you have pacifist activated, so it doesn't apply that much to PvP. Seriously.
 
The only time I would want premium to be nerfed is if it makes the game pay to win. I doubt the staff will ever let happen though since that would be detrimental to a lot of aspects of the server, and the staff are very intelligent people with generally more foresight into issues like that than me.

Sorry joshy, but premium already is "pay to win". It's quite clear actually, very simple. You pay, you can use god armor and you will win. ^^

Unless you have no skill at all, in which case you will still lose. Between two equally powerful players Premium = Win, between two players of different power Premium = / = Win.

You can use god armor as a nonpremium though. Yes, I know that you will drop it and it's not that smart to do, but if you have good strategy and pick your battles carefully then it would be good.

Solution
One step to fixing the whole 'nonprems can't PvP because they drop their armor' is to make it so nonpremiums never drop armor when pacifist true/false, but drop items when trule/false.

You can use god armour without premium. I know @togal300 went around as a non premium killing god armoured premiums.

Come on man that's the whole point of this, if you remove the ability to keep items people will stop. They will simply be to afraid to loose the armor. The same case is with the non-premiums, you just won't use god armor which is a good thing.
 
Joshy54100 said:
He knows that in a technical way you can, but in a practical way you can't, since most people can't afford to loose an entire set of god armor every time they die.

Then they'll have to nerf a ton of combat stats such as axes, or Sevrish will be able to three shot armor.

Or you just remove it fully since without god armor the massivecraft experience would be alot better. We could fight strategically and more realistically. Come on, why should we make verything so simple. Make it a challange to survive out there.
