This server changed

I hope this is a bad joke here
There are still Players who started playing in Beta... How can you think your the only one with The_Arena_Master who remembers Beta just because we dont post every day threads about good ol' days :O

Correct! +1 point for gcb

I'm sorry, but I can't agree with much in this post. I played in BETA, contrary to your belief, along with around half of the people on the forums, I think.

I remember when there was Map 1 and it was an awesome map. There were no hackers and was all on pvp. No teams, just combat skills.

You must remember it differently than me. Oh, I loved MCSG with its 1 map, but think of how boring it would be if it continually had one map, even today? True, it was good, but wouldn't everyone get tired of it and leave?

Also, 'no hackers'. This is a myth. I remember getting completely owned by people who sprint faster than me, people with Smart Moving (remember that little cheat?), and people with aimbot/forcefield.

I for one tried to team almost every round. My PvP skills weren't that great, but my nooby friend-making skills were at maximum level. I would have a team of two or three randoms at least every round, as well as my IRL friends sometimes joining me.

The mods are too young for their age to even ban and judge people. A 15 year old thinking they know how to tell if someones hacking.

Without the 15 age cap, we wouldn't have as many mods as we do right now, and we'd have boatloads more of hackers. Yeah, we don't want that. 15 year olds CAN tell when someone's hacking (take it from a 15 year old who's reported a fair share of hackers over TS), and not all 15 year olds are lunatics. Especially moderators.

You say one cuss word and there goes a kick from a round you were dominating.

This is just breaking the rules, and receiving punishment for doing so. Remember, the chat needs to be maintained at PG-13, so no extreme swears/racial slurs


And for the rest of it, Chad is doing his best to run a business, in a way. You can't have no growth and profit. There's a massive demand for servers, and there's a massive demand for donor rights. He met that demand, like a good owner. Try Canada servers if you're looking for lack of donators, because US servers are overrun with them.

To this day I still enjoy playing MCSG and I enjoy the community. People opinions change, but right now mine is a positive outlook for the future

First of all mcsg didn't make that heart beating feel go away, that was just experience. Like when driving a car. At first it's scary, but once you've done alot you don't feel a thing. Second, I think mcsg really did screw up because instead of making mcsg what they wanted it to be, they made it what a bunch of 8 year olds spammed about in the new features section. If I were chad I would have kept it as it was in beta with just the variede maps and if some little kid doesn't like it then he can go screw himself.

I feel like one of the few old players who doesn't want mobs. This is not because they killed me: mobs cannot kill me. The only mobs that pose any sort of threat to me are wither skeletons and blazes. To me, the only things mobs are are a nuisance. They make scared players hide and distract me from finding those players, making games long. Now skeletons have super aimbot, and can break my sprint when chasing people. The only mobs I'd accept are low spawns of things like zombies and spiders, or wolves.

Ouch.

I respect your decision-- leaving is your choice, but, I will contradict most of what you're saying. Sorry if I sound rude here, but his entire thread is quite rude, regardless.


It won't be deleted, but it probably will be locked. Why? It's a flame war waiting to happen. If you wanted to prove a point, you've got to word it nicely, and that's just the fact. Yeah, of course, mcsg advocates don't necessarily appreciate negativity, but making the assumption something bad will happen doesn't help with something good happening.


As much as we'd all love this, and want to have it, it just isn't possible. There's always people who are out for their own personal gain, and aren't considered what it does to other people. You honestly can't expect any server anywhere to be hacker free ever, because it just isn't possible.

I'm not really sure what you meant by "all on PVP" either. We are playing a game where the goal is to murder 23 other people, so I'm not totally sure what you meant by that, but, to each their own


There was a day when there were teams? I find that rather hard to believe. As fantastic as it would be PVP-wise, people look to this for fun-- teaming with friends, clan mates, sometimes randoms-- teaming is a choice people have, and many enjoy. It's essentially impossible to prevent teaming, and I'm not sure how it previously didn't exist.


This one gets me rather upset. Myself, being an age exception to the age limit (13), felt I did a fairly good job while moderating, and honestly think what you're saying here is straight out disrespectful.

"A 15 year old thinking they know how to tell if someone's hacking". Your point is? Anyone can think someone's hacking, no matter what age. Age has absolutely NOTHING to do with telling if someone is hacking-- it's simply a skill.

Holding a bias, or grudge, making unfair bans for attention-- that has to do with age, and maturity, but nowhere in here did you even mention that.

Please, don't base anything on age. An 18 year old moderator could make worse bans than a 15 year old moderator.

Moderating is a skill, not something that comes with age. You don't just turn 18 and be able to liberate hacks, from no-hacks.


Ouch. Some of our newer maps might not be the best, but a game or two you have to skip, or enjoy a little bit less because of the map doesn't mean our entire map system is "crap".

This is all really a matter of opinion, which is why you're leaving, and that's OK, I totally respect that, but I'm expressing my opinions here

---

I've "dissected" the points I saw arguable, and hopefully shed a new light on some of your thoughts. I don't mean in any way to disrespect you, or your thoughts, but, hopefully allow you to see another opinion.

If you do decide to leave, best of luck in future endeavors

Like she said. MCSG was never perfect. There's always going to be hackers, people who team and rule breakers. You can leave and go to other SG servers that have more hackers and rule breakers then MCSG. Our MCSG staff is trying there hardest and making right decisions on Banning or kicking players. Most of them have video evidence of the Hacker or Rule breaker.

 

[TimmaaaaH]

Dude who the hell do you think you are stating that MCSG has 'crashed'. Don't go around bothering people with your raging opinion about the change MCSG has been having. Because a lot of people don't want to hear it.

To be perfectly honest, the days he were referring to were MCSG alpha days. These were pre beta days. You were able to obtain full diamond.
Seeing as there were only about 3000 forum accounts when alpha ended its short but sweet run, the odds of people playing during the time of full diamond is slim to none. None of my friends remember it because it was that short and that long ago. I'd be amazed if you were around then.

II'm probably going to get this post deleted because mcsg doesn't want people saying bad things about this server.

Nope. The only threads that get locked are the ones which end up with a lot of arguing and flaming among the community. They never get deleted.

There were no hackers and was all on pvp. No teams, just combat skills.

Trust me, there were still hackers and teams. They just weren't as widely-known back then, so you would not encounter hackers or teams as often. That is not MCSG's fault; it's the fault of the people who hack and team.

The mods are too young for their age to even ban and judge people. A 15 year old thinking they know how to tell if someones hacking.

So, you're going to be prejudiced here and instantly say that there isn't a 15 year old who can tell if somebody is hitting somebody without aiming at them or have sprint particles while interacting with the environment? Because trust me, it is not hard to spot hacks if you know what you are looking for, and there have been very, very little problems with younger staff members. It also says on your profile that you are 15, so I do not understand why you are talking down to other players your age.

You say one cuss word and there goes a kick from a round you were dominating.

That will only happen if you have been warned multiple times about swearing, and if you end up doing it again it is your own fault.

When I first played this server, I was excited to even start a round because of my heart racing everytime I ran to get corn chests.

Yes, we all felt that when we started playing because it was a new novelty to us, a wave of emotions and excitement we hadn't felt before.

There weren't that many donators in a server so if you got in a server, there wouldn't be 24 other iron donaters kicking you and frustrating you to quit everytime.

Yes, as there were not as many servers. Without donators, these servers wouldn't exist. They are absolutely needed to maintain this community. If you want to play in games that are easier to get into, don't go for the lower numbered ones, e.g. 1-20. Go for the later numbers, such as 30-50, as there is very rarely donators in those games.

I'm still going to play a little to see if the server got better in any way, but most likely Chad and their developers will not succeed. Therefore forever quitting.

I don't see how they can succeed in your opinion when you're not really giving any legitimate or fixable complaints. I've given a reason and explanation for everything in your post.

Moderators used to be somewhat more uncommon. I accept that there has been more mods recently. The community has grown, more hackers., more mods to keep control of them. What i am gonna do now may seem a bit radical. It may be unfair even. But i'm going to bring up some examples of the people they have unfairly banned.
ExKing Canziano And last, but not least. Myself. The newest wave of moderators has been a complete mess-up, since they are obviously not fit for the job. They accuse and ban players for non-guilty reasons. I guess 14 year olds aren't emotionally mature enough.

If you wish to discuss ExKing and Canziano's bans, feel free to message me, because frankly neither of them deserve to be unbanned, due to the extreme amount of rule-breaking they have continuously done. I'm not going to bring it up in public unless they wish to do so. You also requested to be banned, so I don't see how you have been unfairly banned...

I am now gonna discuss the matter of NoSh#tplus. I don't see many people complaining about it. Just to make this clear. I do not wish it to be removed. I want it more tweaked. the current verision does not block any sprint and aimbot based hackers. It only blocks clicking, and flying. I wish it to be tweaked to a level where it is weaker on the clicking part. I mean, 3 clicks a sec is not much to ask for, but obviously i am forcefielding when i do that.

If we turn the sensitivity up so it blocks sprint and aimbot hackers again, people will be complaining because it will block certain things that they do. There is no way to perfect NCP, there will always be people complaining if we block the hackers, and they'll complain if they're not being blocked.

teovald I completely agree with you post. I have to say that I do not know so much about the new moderators because my ban was in december. I have to say that one of the problems are not the staff but some of their decisions. I have been hearing a lot lately from people that moved at hive that they did that because of the "sh!t staff on MCSG". I am not going to agree with that because the problem isn't the staff members (ok maybe sometimes that's the problem but rarely)but their decisions that sometimes cause problems on the community. And then the staff members are trying to find what caused that problem. I know that sometimes things like that happen because everyone makes mistakes but also you should learn from your mistakes right?


I do not want to offend anyone with this post. Just my opinion

Any wrong actions are very quickly dealt with. Of course, there are some that take a little bit longer and get more publicity and attention from the community, but any issues are normally very swiftly tidied up.

 

[Cat_On_A_Poptart]

You know, nothing stays the same forever. Yeah, I miss the old days of MCSG, and yeah, I agree that a lot has changed. That's no reason to hate it. I know this is your opinion, and believe me, I respect that. Also, if we didn't have donors, the server wouldn't be running, and we wouldn't be here right now, and if you have a problem with being kicked, then donate.
