Potions in MCSG

[schnikes]

I was wondering if people would like potions added, I know I would. Imagine making a quick getaway or taking down that guy who keeps running for 15 minutes with a swiftness potion, or winning a fight as underdog with a strength potion.

So tell me what you think and stuff.

Sounds great! Maybe they will be put in the tier 3 chests.

they're adding tier 3 chests? Allright!
i think they should be kind of sorted by power, like swiftness in tier 2 chests, strength/regeneration in tier 3, healing in tier 1, etc.

I think people will think that people are hacking because they do more damage and are much faster, so I don't like it

I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be added.
Potions adds a hole new dimension to the game, which makes it more exciting.

You could drink a strength potion before a match to increase your damage.
You could drink a swiftness potion while running away to run faster.
You could drink a night vision potion when inside a dark cave to light it up.
And you could drink a poison potion in deathmatch to save your lover.

Yup. This should be added.

People always think others are hacking, If NoCheatPlus can't detect someone using a speed hack it should even be used... + Mods should be in the lobby doing their job watching the games not just leaving once the game starts or when they die..

We mods (I am not a mod on the forums yet) also have social lifes, and so we won't be always able to play a game. If you see a hacker you can just come on TS and poke a mod and he'll be happy to help you.
Oh, and NCP doesn't detect every hack, and it is not always accurate.

The problem with NCP is that if it's too sensitive, hacks will be detected easier, but normal players will also be affected. If the sensitivity is too low, players will not be affected, but hackers will be able to do much more.

Back on topic.

Even if players do get accused for hacking, it won't be a problem. People has always been accused for hacking, even if they don't. Potions may increase this a little, but there won't be MORE hackers.

Adding potions has more positive sides than negative sides. In fact, I don't see the negative sides.
Give me a night vision potion, and I might see them.

But if the Mods don't stay in the game, who can detect what players do.. If NCP is not 'always accurate' then there's nothing to detect what we do except for empty words of players who think others have hacked. And players who are using recording devices at the moment of the hackers, hacking. If you guys have social lives too, then what are you doing in the waiting lobbies, you can be doing the exact same thing in-game as you do in the lobbies. *Watching*

OT: I still think it would be cool to have the potions, I know I've chased a guy for 10 minutes around a map while they have 1 heart left.. and others have done the same to me.. Neither accomplish anything but troll themselves.

Is it possible to change the time each potion has an effect for? If so that makes this even more better!

I don't really think that EVERY potion should be added, I am just thinking minor ones like the Fire Resistance Potion and the Night Vision Potion. Potions like Poison, Healing, and Regen. would just be cheating, you know?

Remember, you have to be 18 years old or older to be a mod on MCSG. (I think) So these people have school (possibly), j0bs, social lives, MCSG, MCSG Forums, Family, ect. So, just remember that whenever you are asking where mods and admins are in EVERY SINGLE game you play. (I know I do)

But I'm not asking for where mods are in every single game... I just asking why do they leave before the game even starts? Why leave when you die? You can still monitor the game dead.. You have spectators in the game to help point out who is looking suspicious. Yes I know they do have jobs and social lives but you can't multitask, it's inefficient. If you need to worry about your job or something the do that. But don't try to concentrate on two different things at one time. Especially a computer game vs. your job.

By the way, I thought you had to be 16+ to be a moderator, most people around that age are still in school.
I know it's difficult to monitor many servers at one time, but isn't that what you signed up for when you applied to be a mod? And why there are others out there to help?
