Hello there! as most of you all know, invaded is very anonymous of what happens behind the scenes, and isn't the most well-rounded server. What do I mean by that? A well rounded server should have 3 of thase traits, good at hooking in players, good anto-cheat and moderation, and involvement in the community.
-Have good way for a income of players and keep the old, examples, (youtube (skeppy), ranks to hook players in, resets, new gamemode every year or so ect. basicly content to hook players in to playing. Id say invaded does a decent job at this, hooking in players with youtube, having ranks for players to work towards wanting, and resets to keep it fresh. Not much to say here, good job!
-a proper punishment system. Invaded has a really nice and fancy anti-cheat, very similar to minemen clubs "anti gaming chair" which is thought to be the best anti-cheat in minecraft. But with a good anti-cheat leads to many false bans. People who are lagging, have a bad ping, slow connections, server lag, or any other non-sever side connection issues are often banned on invaded for the anti-cheat failing to tell if its hacks or not. This is not really ok, but its almost un-preventable without tweaking the anti-cheat to be less effective. Another thing I am going to add to this section is also active moderation. yes, Invaded does have very active mods, but appeals on the forums lack moderation. Blacklist appeals have been herd to take up to 6 months and even a full whole year to be appealed! escalated bans take a bit to long, but mute and ban appeals, have great service. I get the admins and up can only see the blacklist appeals (I think might also only be managers no admins not sure) but 6 months? really? how rude it is to make players wait 6 months just for the manager to accept their blacklist appeal because they got charge Backed or used a vpn by mistake. It's unfair and losses many players.
-Community interaction, The only community interaction besides basic things such as bug reports and appeals is very low, and unhealthy for the server. what do I mean by that? Games such as fortnite and single player minecraft are so successful is because they listen to what the community has to say. In fortnite, the community almost picks 50% or what happens and minecraft take peoples ideas on their reddit and other platforms and implements them into their game. on Invadeds side, you can't even suggest things to the server. The most you can do is make a good looking forum and hope a admin or moderator sees it. in fact, I highly doubt a mod would even come across this, yet, they spent all day on the forums. This is invadeds biggest weakness, and it is what makes players unhappy the most of all things. So many good ideas that would help my first topic of well-rounded are never seen by the mods and its sad because these people have hope on the forums for their suggestion to be taken. its not fair, and their should be a suggestion sub-thread area for people to put ideas that get checked often. An attempt for this to happen was the invaded council, so many ideas, prob in the thousands, got ignored by Invaded staff, yet, the owner of the server was a mod on invaded. sad.
@Mega @Zelkam It would be much loved if you took your time to try and listen to what the community has to say, and we all beg, try and make blacklist appeals a bit faster. you guys work so hard to keep the server to sray away from things like 2b2t or keemstars YouTube channel, (drama). And I thank you.
