In my eyes, both PvP and RP seems fine. PvP may not have been as great as it was but I still find it enjoyable. It's better than the few other servers I've been on. There are cool downs for ender pearls now and people with large mcmmo stats and iron armour can take down god-prems.
It was said in general and ill reiterate it here.
Premium is meant to be op
your paying your hand earned cash to get a lil extra out of a game.
So lets put all on the table
Significant things that people seem to complain about:
Dropping items on death
15% damage reduction
/fix power
Now lets go over these.
Dropping items on death.
-Its vanilla complain to mojang, as i stated, when you buy premium you are becoming a bit more op.
Ive never really got why people complain about losing all thier items on death, is it really that difficult to not die? im pretty sure we all have played vanilla survival at one point and know the dos and donts of minecraft enough to understand when you enter a dangerous situation dont bring your entire life and bring what you need in a fight. Pvp now (especially with the addition of all these glorious potions) makes combat soo much more strategic, regardless of how high an axe level is, they cant hit you if you douse them in blindness potions, decay potions and furthur hinder them with starve pots. You can simply hop around beating on people as they flail haplessly in the darkness that now envelops them. Just need to think out your battle plan properly and dont try and solo it.
Id reccomend plenty of practice in our minigame maps and have some fair fight rules with someone.
Let us not forget aswell when in combat premiums can still lose thier items and inventory on death (bar the armour) and 9 times out of ten if your hardcore in pvp your armour is going to get smashed a fair bit aswell which leads me nicely into..
/fix power
-When do we use our fix power? more or less after a brawl and our weapons and armour are destroyed. as it currently stands we can repair one set of god gear and a weapon (roughly) a day. before /fix i was personally toiling away with repair skill and destroying mobs in the darkroom to gain xp and fix all my equipment. even without /fix its fully possible to do more then the amount /fix gives. I still, to this day rarely use /fix and more often then not its repairing someone elses stuff.
Damage reduction
-I will admit this does stack up to be a touch op but not invincible bare in mind the amount of skills you have at your disposal. All of those mcmmo skills and the byproducts you gain, makes pvp Veeery interesting, An old tactic i used to get around such things is to counteract thier damage with weakness and str 2 myself. instantly thier buff is nulled and the odds are evened.
Races aswell can assist with this by buffing your damage to overide this. for example if your battling a premium human, hop into a dwarf and have a lovely 15% boost to even the score, even when they choose the old route of going undead. Pots and numbers are always an advantage.
What id suggest when it comes to combat (i say this as most of the time this is whats complained about) Just be smart on how you fight and dont be afraid to ask for help.
-Always fight on home turf when possible for that boost and knowledge of familiar terrain
-Choose the appropriate race for the job
(Tanking? go undead, Smashin faces? go dwarf or orc, aiming for the disarm or support? Tigran or Elf are great choices)
-Carry only what you need, got loot? get the hell out.
-Pearls and golden apples are your friend
-Alchemy is an invaluable skill, get brewing!
-Dont try to assault a faction alone, alliances are there for a reason, numbers always help the odds.
( just watch out for skull split)
-Teamspeak, For the love of god communicate.
-Dont taunt the wrong people, see a faction full of seasoned pvp'rs? lets not go bang on thier door and call them scrubs.
-Premium players pay to play the game we enjoy, if you spend less time spiting them for thier purchase and ask them for help. Most of us are more then happy to. ( I love siegecraft and am always happy to help make fortifications and defences )
I guess after this horrid wall of text
TLR - We pay for premium because we love minecraft and want to get the best experience possible and we want to support the server any way we can, its not to lord over others and theres only 2 sides of this whole prem/nonprem conflict because arguements like this are made. I wants all to live together without this crud :c
-Monkles <3
I thought this argument was about if Premiums need to be nerfed???
(of coursewhen i buy it, might or might not happen anytime soon)non premium can wear god armor to, some do it. just recently i fought with a premium friend in my god armor at aqua and actually beath him several times before he could kill me
Since this has now become a heavily RP based server, why shouldn't it be realistic? You are repeating these questions that rooseus has answered time and time again with valid evidence to back up his point of view, read through rooseus's previous comments carefully and you will get an answer to your questions
i think premium is fine as it is, honstly i don't care about the advanteges of it, i would buy it just for the flashy green nametag
non premium can wear god armor to, some do it. just recently i fought with a premium friend in my god armor at aqua and actually beath him several times before he could kill me
The 15% bonus isn't really that much, it doesn't stack with what you are wearing, but rather applies to what damage you still take. If it did stack, someone with a say, 95% damage reduction from god armor bought premium, he/she would have a 110% damage reduction from attacks, which is absolutely OP and unbeatable, regardless of any battle tactics. If you apply the 15% damage bonus to the damage you still take, you would have a 95.75% damage reduction, plus undead, would equal 96.375% damage reduction total. All in all, the damage bonus really isn't OP.
Not saying this to flame, and I agree on this, but Premiums from the massive PVP factions do seem to target the weaker factions. It's not a rule, but there's still the overpowering chance that eventually you will be raided by the factions. You don't have to fight, but there's a pretty large chance that a large raiding faction full of them will probably raiding your faction.

Premium shouldn't be nerfed though, it's fine as it is.
Ah, good point, I kind of forgot about that.
Same.I have some 20 sets of god armor. -dies 20 times- I still have 15 left!
