Mobs (Not what you think) [READ]

[Danielbess]

Since a lot of people like mobs, and some don't, I think I came up with a pretty good solution.

Why didn't players like mobs?
I think players didn't like mobs for the following reasons.

1. If you didn't have good gear or a weapon, they would murder you to death.
2. In maps such as SG 3, spiders would hog up corn and make it imposibble to get to refill / crafting table.

What's my solution?
As subv3rsion once said in a home page post, the server / plugin knows what items you have in your inventory, and what armor you are wearing.
Would it be possible to edit / add a new feature to the plugin were certain mobs would attack players according to the player's gear / weapons?
Ex:

*Player 1 has a stone sword and iron boots*
*Player 2 has a wooden sword*
*Player 3 has full iron and a diamond sword*

A zombie would attach the Player 2.

A zombie and a spider would attack Player 1.

A zombie, spider, and skeleton would attack Player 3.

Your thoughts guys? Also I need a developers opinion, since I am not even sure if this is possible.

Nope. Even if you have good gear, you could be getting ganged on by a bunch of mobs and then other players come by.

Better suggestion: NOSTALGIA SERVERS! The Arena Master Your idea could be good, but as PowerhousePlayer said, better players would literally be swarmed with mobs and it be unfair imo.

Well, it would add a little more strategy to the game, since people would have to make the choice of getting attacked by mobs, or having worse armor.

EDIT: Nostalagia servers would honestly cost too much money.

Mmh... It would be interesting trying to get a good average so that you have decent equip and less mobs. But I think that's gonna be a bit of a gamechanger.

And nostalgia servers would just be a few, maybe 3-5 of each region.

 

[PowerhousePlayer]

There is no strategy involved. Its either die or die, as leaving no armour on would give a much higher death probability to players.


also, my apologies if that came out a little meaner than needed.

If you guys can seriously get killed by mobs when wearing armour then I am disappointed. The new skeletons, they're pretty tough so I understand that but zombies? They just walk in a straight line. Come on guys!

 

[PowerhousePlayer]

Who said anything about dying to mobs whilst wearing armour? The real problem lies with the fact that you will be getting attacked by mobs and you wont see a player come up from behind and get good hits on you. It isnt the mobs killing us, its the players.

 

[Matthew83610]

It's a challenge, hunger games is easy enough as it is. You have to be able to focus on the mobs and the players. Mobs themselves move slow as hell, if you can't outrun them then how are you meant to outrun a player? Just man the heck up, it's easy to dodge mobs. In the "real" hunger games there were plenty of monsters ready to kill you, make it authentic.

 

[PowerhousePlayer]

This isn't the real HG buddy. This is a computer simulation.

 

[BlackHead]

This will be hard to make...

 

[Matthew83610]

Why not make it realistic? Besides if you really can't outrun mobs and see a player hitting you then you really may have some "problems" that you may want to fix rather than playing video games.
