Resource World and PvP

[PosterAnonymous Profile]

After some discussion last night, I thought it might make the resource world a bit more fun if PvP was turned on. It could potentially lead to group expeditions (1-3 protectors, 1-3 miners/harvesters) and possibly even makeshift open combat arenas between players.

Is anyone else interested in trying this and, if so, are the mods willing to try it? I promise I'll be good... Ish.

i agree. i say we make resource world pvp. we dont have to kill anyone we see and if we wanna go at it with someone we ask first maybe?

I like the idea, but I can see it as a way for people to troll other players.

Great idea Poster! The resource world started out as a PvP area, it was great! iPodparf and I had an epic battle using our best armor and weapons we've created in the over world. I still seek my revenge!

Unfortunately it would dissuade newer players from mining in the resource world, maybe if there was a safe zone near spawn about 500 blocks out new players could mine there. The rest of the world would be PvP and we could even organize fighting events!

YES! Lets make resource world PVP!

Thanks,

We discussed enabling PvP in Resource World several times before it was implemented. We eventually decided it was a bad idea (it being enabled on the first day was a mistake). I've played on a lot of servers, many of them having similar systems to our outworldland, with PvP enabled. One thing I've found in my time playing on PvP enabled servers is the sad fact that people have a hard time being adults when they're killed. If someone kills you in the Resource World, taking all your diamonds you just mined, along with your Silk Touch pick, chances are, you're going to have a hard time getting along with that person in the main Survival world.

PvP sounds like a fantastic idea on the surface, but in practice, it can lead not only to the discouragement of the use of our Resource World, but the undoing of the community we've built. I for one, would love to have PvP somewhere in TWiTcraft, but implementing it in a place where Survival inventories are linked might not be the best idea.

I think an arena could be cool. Have an area that allows PvP, and people can challenge each other. This makes sure that anyone who wants to fight can fight, and those who don't can avoid it.

As a very new player, just starting to build up resources, the the thought of getting stabbed in the back or blown up with TNT while mining and getting everything stolen, would be enough for me to move onto another server.

I totally understand that once you have enough credits and have built your ideal home, experienced players must be looking for something fun to do to keep you coming back, but I agree with Demonfive that resource world is not the place for it.

This is the first minecraft server I have found that feels like a place I want to make home. The community is fantastic and architecture right up there with the best I have seen. You are very tolerant of new players asking the same old questions and willing to spend quality time showing them what to do. I have even had people loaning me items, or selling them very cheaply, to help get me started... amazing!

i dont think pvp is a bad idea but it might be more receptive to people (including me) if it is kept to a certain area, like an arena and not outside that. there are people who would enjoy the pvp, but it looks like they are of the mutual consent group. if you guys can figure out a way to set it up so im not griefed while mining i'm happy.

maybe even figure out a tier system somewhere so someone can match-up with another player in their power bracket (no-items vs no items etc) in case someone wanted to test the waters of pvp, w/o losing their treasured silk touch pick.

I'm more of a "there's an always an inherent danger in walking out your front door" kind of person, but I could see a lot of people getting pouty about dying and rage-quitting.

The arena would be an acceptable compromise, but I would like for the combat area to be larger than most arenas I've seen. Maybe we could build a glass cube on an island somewhere on the survival map and create a small battle biome that changes frequently? We could have a handful of players create different combat zones (waterworld, urban streets, etc.) that we would then rotate through every few months.
