By Aloria! What is this madness? clearly something must be wrong, right?
Correct! I'm here to discuss, suggest, and ask your opinions on the role-play threatening issue that is "Ender pearls".
As we all know, Ender pearls are the very miscellaneous item that can make a realistically indestructible wall that Robin Hood himself couldn't break into, into a perfectly raid-able area, ripe for a bandit's pickings. I think we can all agree that Ender pearls are the prime use of all PVP'ers, and there is not one person (in their right mind) that would go into a raid without at least 1. Am I right? I know I've used them.
Though, think on it... Where in the Lore does it state where Ender pearls officially came from. We know where they come from in "Minecraft" but where is their place in "Aloria"? Do they even belong there? Is it's a mage's ability to craft such sorcery, or are we to simply to accept that it falls from a "mob" and that the most essential piece in PVP is as easy to obtain as finding a darkroom and pulling your handy weapon out?
I, for one, think on this a lot...
This is a Role-play server, am I right? Then shouldn't items like this make a little more sense, or at least shouldn't there be some form of page where we can read about these items? (where they were discovered, how they came to be, etc) - I guess this can be the same issue with portals and other things.
But I'm not here to banter, or blame the lack of information of highly prioritized items, but instead, offer a quick suggestion that I think would make it more "role-play friendly". However, I would like to note that this idea, hasn't been analysed much at all, and it was a quick thought, so I'm open to other people analyzing it.
Now, please, for the climax?! -Drum roll?-
Grappling hooks! - Oh blimey, I'm sorry. Not as exciting as DrFong's Abusement park, I know... but still a interesting idea, I would think!
So the idea would be that the texture, and animation of Ender pearls would be changed to become more realistic, as well as their overall ability, being nerfed.
So yes, we would rid Aloria of this completely un-lore friendly item (or at least it's ability to semi-teleport, as to keep it for Ender chests and such), and bring forth a new item of "grappling hooks". Obviously this item would have string (or maybe rope/leads) and iron combined into a combo.
The item would have a new "grappling" hook texture, and a animation which allows (with accuracy) hook onto a wall or the top of a block, and pull you up onto it.
I'm unaware whether we would have it able to reach the height of a ender-pearl, or make it more realistic, but either way it's a nice little addition. It would also prevent people from skipping over to catch someone running away, with the click with of a button (which is quite stupid, in my opinion). It still makes it so you have a prioritized essential item for raiding, but something a little more friendly to role-play.
From this we can see that my intent is to have Ender pearls banned from use for their main purpose, and have a new item implemented that allows for "lore-friendly" raids, with still the same thrill as ever.
Suggest, comment, discuss, and rate! Let me know what you think - Over and out.
