Recently the skyblock server has been updated. This was for "temporary maintenance to improve our servers backend setup." Alright, that is ok, IF THE SERVER DOESN'T SUFFER FROM IT. So many issues have come up, directly due to the maintenance.
Commands:
Some commands no longer work, some replaced.
/fly - has been replaced with /is fly, which only works on islands with fly perms.
/chat colour - something winable in crates, and said to come with ranks, no longer works.
/warps - don't exist no more
/m - no longer works, /msg or /message only
Big Problems:
Issues that caused major problems in previous seasons are back. yay.
Sign editing - they can be edited once again (by anyone, island member or not).
Shops - shop signs can't be edited, that's because they don't work anyway.
"Help" Warp - the place that people that don't know what they are doin' can go to learn. people now get confused, laughed at by a non for being confused, and leave within the hour.
information? - there was no proper list of changes, no warning. reboot was changed. (ty for making it earlier.)
Random command prompts - I want to find a command that I forgot the name of? That's gonna take at least eight minutes. Oh Well.
Y'all should update the shops, not only with updated blocks. add something near a "misc building supplies" section with, take a guess, misc building supplies. add lanterns, lecterns, grindstones, item frames, chains, campfires, etc. things that make building with those items not a nightmare after running out of supply. also add observers to the Redstone list, please.
while on the topic of suggestions, lower the money output of spawners. make them something that is a good side money maker, or for inexperienced players, a simple main source of income. cactus farms and melon farms were a pain to build and caused lag, but somehow, they are better than the current player methods. "The Meta" should not exist, playing in a preferred way should be doable without negative effects. players should not be forced into a few methods of money-making.
make island challenges something more. an easy way of rewarding people for what they want to do. when people asked for a better experience with challenges. not many people wanted whatever happened that time y'all tried. in fact. I am pretty sure there was more time that season where Skyblock had 0 people on tab, than time with anyone (season 8 btw). you guys already have a challenge system, and it is fun to do. just make it more rewarding than 13 Redstone and a gold ingot.
make diamonds and high-level blocks worth less. that's it. making building blocks like dirt, cobblestones, wood, and all of the sorts will encourage players to want to build. if a player sees that the only way to get high island levels is to multiply spawners and place blue blocks for hours, they will find a server that doesn't reward that. if people see that they can build, and be competitive, they will enjoy their time.
you guys need to, like, please . get . player . testers. people who know how to exploit and manipulate the server using methods that normal player testers would see past. some players, myself included, purposely search for these anyway. I have found lots of glitches, and reported them, some of which y'all haven't even bothered to fix. want a list of stuff still wrong?
- I can still bypass the outer barriers on islands and go to others.
- gamebox is still broken, and it goes invisible.
- on reboot, (only sometimes), all Redstone stops.
admins, y'all gotta stop letting people advertise, then sell ig stuff for irl money.
that's enough complaining from me. i go bye bye now. :>
