Elite Underpowered Now?

[Cole2142]

Lately I've been feeling like Elite has been underpowered. I honestly don't like the fact that the permissions always come and go and have left. I paid for gm, /I, super pickaxe and other commands like weather and time, and and the diamond kits. Could the permissions for elite that people wanted to get and paid their money for back please?

 

[Eeyore]

It would be nice to get those permissions back. But there are those Elites who abuse their power.. Killatrix also said that the server is now more survival.

 

[Cole2142]

But honestly, those who paid for Elite FOR those permissions and expected to get what they were told they were going to get when they bought it should be able to keep those. If there were elites who were abusing powers, you could just derank them or suspend their rank for a bit. It's unfair for other elites who were set out of powers. I miss //, and /i, and /gm. Elites dont have vanish anymore.. What happened to all the commands? I mean honestly, I paid for //, /i, /gm, /kits (diamond, awesome), /v.. Stuff like that

 

[Eeyore]

I paid for that aswell. And lost alot of commands..I agree with you now..Just demote the player!

Must i constantly repeat this...:
Ive been working the donator perks with joel for a few weeks now, and during that time, alot of things will be gone.
Along with this, some things wont be available for use by ANY donator staff, including changing gamemode and using other stuff...
and yes, im trying to make the server more survival oriented. the way we had it made staff have to constantly check up on donators, making sure they dont abuse their powers (just for us to find out that they do. and by them, i mean most of em.).

the way its reworked, we added more perks, removed some of the "Op" ones, added new prices and encouraged donating by adding 3 new donation packs, and individual purchases.
Check the donation tab from time to time, things are added there and isnt announced.

Also. It is a survival server. When players then see massive structures, and a bunch of diamond,iron etc blocks it takes away from that survival feel. Some may even feel that they can't possibly compete with other buildings if they do not have creative mode.

Now if a massive structure is seen, with the new rules in place, then it inspires awe because the player will realize that it was made through survival means.

Furthermore, I also found it weird that the donator perks that were purchased had no expiry. Most servers have a time limit for when those perks will expire. I myself donated just to get fly mode and after a few months was wondering why I still had it.

Under the new system the donator perks will not last in perpetuity.

That being said. If you are a recent donator that purchased a donator perk that is being wiped out you may want to contact joel directly to figure something out. If you purchased say creative mode 2 weeks ago and now its being removed then you may legitimately have an issue that needs to be resolved. In that case, like I said, contact Joel.

Green, those who purchased donator long ago and were promised it would stay forever literally get to keep Donator forever, and their title. Since we're senior members and we bought packages that were in a certain group o-o

 

[Gr33nfield]

I'm responding to the title of the thread not specific promises made.
Elites are not supposed to be overpowered in the new perk system.
For specific promises made, like i said, contact Joel.

*ahem* ^ became a mod

wether the perks stay forever for those who PREVIOUSLY donated to firetop, or everyone has a time limit, is joel`s decision.. The only thing certain being chnaged aree the actual perks themselves.
ive announced this hunderds of times on the server, and ive mentionned it in-game for at least a month now. i constantly said that perks will be chaned, some things will be removed, and that some may be added.
and yes, we did add a few perks (ill wait for you to see em, dont want to spoil anything yet) and got rid of creative mode for all perk classes.

In my opinion in the other server I played they do donators like this:

Silver Membership
- Silver Name Color
- 1 Building Protection
- Fly
- Priority Slot (you can enter even if the server is full)

Gold Membership
- Gold Name Color
- 2 Building Protections
- FLY
- Priority Slot (you can enter even if the server is full)
- Hide From Satellite
- Multiple Houses (/sethome)
- Town Mayorship

Diamond Membership
- Diamond Name
- 3 Building Protections
- FLY
- Priority Slot (you can enter even if the server is full)
- Hide From Satellite
- Multiple Houses (/sethome)
- Town Mayorship

All of this are per month, which means you pay for this monthly. Almost forgot all donators are always first when need help means the mod help them before they help non-donor

I dont agree at all that make the free player like second classpalyer like they dont worth the attention. I see it as kind of a dick ignoring freeplayer and only care about thosethat donate. People should be threat fairly as they came to enjoy they safe and they have the right to talk and get hel form stuff not just likesome knd of outsider that the staff dont care about just because they dnt donate

 

[Pulsefire]

I didn't mean it like no care to non-donor what I mean is they should more help donators because that's what they pay

I love the way Joel keeps out of this conversation XD

I understand cole's frustration, but the server just can't change anyhting for the few old-time supporters that are still on. You see, Joel and killa are trying to balance the donator perks and de-OP them. And they are not going to change that for that little handful of discontented donators.

That, people, was my opinion. I may be totally wrong . Just dont quote this!
