My Opinion on The Current State of Survival and Invaded

I understand that this post is probably gonna get locked, despite it not breaking any of the rules. I just wanna give my opinion on the current situation of the survival reset and the seeming lack of care from management. I have told others to be patient about the reset, but I believe this has gone on too much.

I honestly believe that this is just uncalled for. Every reset has been around 6 months apart. It is usually about 6, maybe 7, but come on. 9 months is just too much. That's a season and a half. Management has not even acknowledged survival taking so long to reset, and it is really just ridiculous. I do understand that it could be hard to produce a good reset at the moment, and there could be many different reasons. I think the majority of players would understand the reset taking so long if it were clarified. I don't even consider myself a survival player, but I would definitely play some if there were fresh content. I really don't want to be rude, but it does not require any effort at all to simply make a statement addressing why survival is taking so long. The Skyblock Reset post, published in late February states, "information on Survival will be publicized soon so keep an eye out". That was about 2 and a half months ago. Survival may not be the largest playerbase, but it is still a playerbase nonetheless. No one likes this silence from management, and it is starting to feel like a lack of care from management. It does not apply just to survival, it applies to every server as well. Invaded has not been fulfilling a lot of the promises it has been making. Invaded has stated that they planned on adding features during seasons, but I don't recall times that has actually happened. Kit's reset post gave a list of stuff they were going to add during the season, yet none were added. Other reset posts have been vaguer, saying they were adding more features to keep it fresh, yet they still haven't added new features. All of the lack of updates to gamemodes, and now the lack of a reset is just building up to make it appear as management does not care. I am not saying management is lazy in any way, I feel invaded is a great server, but I really dislike the lack of knowledge we have received. I am not saying Invaded is dying, but the game modes are getting stale. Invaded needs to make resetting survival its priority. I'm sure they are busy with other stuff, like possibly new game modes or new features, but I believe they need to get their priorities straight. In combination with a seemingly inactive owner, a single dev, and managers who don't inform us on what is going on, it just doesn't seem like they are passionate about the server as the players. I am not a dev or anything, nor am I an expert in Minecraft servers, but the least they can do is explain why the reset is taking so long. If invaded had committed to their promises, and added new, refreshing content during the span of the season, along with resetting within the timeframe they estimate it takes, we probably wouldn't be in this position. It doesn't require coding knowledge or a massive amount of free time to just apologize for the lack of a reset and for the lack of updates, and give some explanation. I am not calling anyone lazy or bad at their job, I just feel management could do better at making the players more aware. If they can't reset yet, please, give us some knowledge of why. This is not at the fault of the mods or admins at all, the staff team is doing an amazing job. They are extremely active and passionate about the server, and it's very clear they enjoy it. I am sure that the managers are passionate about the server, but the lack of updates doesn't convince me of that. I really love this server, but I don't like how it feels like the server is being neglected by management. If you can't reset, please just address the lack of the reset. Please.

TL;DR: If you can't reset survival soon, please at least give us some clarification.

This thread is not meant to bash anyone or blame anyone, I am just giving my feedback and opinions on the current situation. This is not toxic, nor is it insulting anyone, so it has no reason for it to be locked. This thread is in the survival section because it mainly revolves around the survival reset, but this does involve invaded as a whole.
 
Holy shit fucking harry potter novel

edit after reading: I do believe that survival is WAYYY overdue for a reset, however as you said, there is only ONE dev and hundreds of players, so can you really blame Neon for taking so long? He runs MMC, Xeon, and another server that I forgot all at once, so sometimes things like a survival reset get put high on a shelf, however it has been put up on a shelf for a VERY long time so I assume he's been working on it. It would be unfair to assume he's been neglecting survival this whole time, though I feel it just hasn't been his priority, and he's been working on it on the spare time. This is just speculation at this point though

Good thread, well said. I agree that the issue should at least be addressed. I think the server needs to hire more developers again. Sxtanna, while he was abusive sometimes, was the reason we got so much new content at the end of last year, and much of the playerbase was content with how management was handling the server.
 
Resets coming soon, Don’t worry,
I'm sure it will, it's just that they have not given any context as to why it has been taking so long
I was informed that the staff team does care
i never said they didnt

but it’s taking a lot of effort right now,
So they should give clarification instead of leaving us waiting without any knowledge
I am aware that reset is soon so guys don’t worry, you should expect it shortly,
I highly doubt you have inside information regarding the reset

i had wrote a small thing about devs but deleted it. the main points i made were about them hiring more devs by advertising the position more, because the only way u can find it on invaded forums is invadedlands.net/jobs, so I completely agree with ur statement.

to add on about the section i deleted, i had also included possibly lowering the apply for dev reqs, and making it easier to find the actual applications if no one is applying for dev. I do not blame Neon at all for the lack of a reset, but i do think that a post could be made addressing the lack of a reset. I am sure he is very busy, but a post regarding this would not take tons of time to make, and would be really beneficial for the players.
 
the main issue is that people say "oh, they're putting out good updates, it'll take some time!!!" but it's not like they only start working on reset when it's time for a reset...? that'd be like your teacher assigining you an essay and you starting it the day it's due. kitpvp has resets on time with a ton of updates so i just don't understand why people act like they're busy working on reset when they had a ton of time already.
 
I understand that the current staff may be busy considering the only dev on the server, neon runs multiple servers but the lack of any notices or announcements about why reset is so late or the current status of reset is quite annoying

this is amazing. ; D
 
Yeah indeed this is getting just ridiculous. The server management is simply dead. The only thing the devs care about is KitPVP and SkyBlock. Survival has been deserted (#AntiRickRoll) and they can not hide it. If the developers do not want to reset Survival then they could do the easiest move of all time - keep the Survival an SMP-type resetless part of the server. Make one last reset and keep it a semi SMP. It is an opinion not a must. I may have been away from Multiplayer almost two months now and still hearing about Survival not being reset shows me and us how neglected it is.

imagine a clean vanilla smp with the exception of maybe a few commands and rules.
