Voei's opinion on the chest update

[Mlpoknzaba]

If you see a moderator ignore their job or act how they shouldn't report them to a higher up. If you see members bashing on other people's opinions and causing arguments, report them.

This section of your post is something that is very wrong and something I strongly disagree with. I'm not saying that because you're voicing your opinion or speaking your mind. It's because there is no opinion in this section, only assumptions. You claim that the MCSG Developers are working against what the members want and are ignoring their ideas. This extremely wrong. To start off, the community complained the diamond armor in chests were too op. The devs listened and changed them to iron. The community claimed there were too many arrows. The devs listened and reduced it. So far the threads that basically repeat the same complaint has been taken into account and impacted the chest updates. With the pictures of the polls posted. People didn't want less items in chests, so there aren't. The devs did exactly what the community voted for. The amount of items spawning in chests are still the same. The second poll is a live poll that was put up after the chest update beta was out. The original reason everything was nerfed a bit was because of tier 3 chests coming into the game and with the v2 chests, there wouldn't be much of a difference between them. In addition, they'd be way too op. Which is something many people complain about. Teir 3s were a long time promise and now that it's in, they want to balance the game out so people can still have fun. Now with the recent poll up, it's a matter of tweaking it so it wouldn't be too op, while at the same time, pleasing majority of the people. The MCSG staff do not change things to make the game more fun for us. We do it so it's more fun for the community. That means everything we do is largely impacted by the community. Saying that we don't listen, and the devs don't listen, is a very large and untrue accusation that basically throws everything we work for in this community out the window.

​

There is no need for drastic change, but there is a need for improvement. MCSG needs to improve as much as it can and as long as it can. Putting in new features and aspects to the game makes it more fun and interesting. If we keep improving then our community will keep expanding. That is our goal. To have as many people enjoy our servers as possible. If we keep everything the same, then the same people will continue to play and they will eventually get bored. The community will slowly die down due to the repetition of the games. Keeping everything the same will also steer players away from the community and more towards just mindlessly playing the game. If we have updates and new features, people will be more inclined to voice their opinion and join the forums to talk about it. If they do, they add on to our community. Staying the same is boring and will get us nowhere but down. Updates will help us, if we listen to the community.

"Get a tier 3 or be killed by the guy who got"

I disagree, I won a game on an US chest beta server (bearing in mind I am in EU so US lags like crazy, also I'm a bit of a pvp n00b) against someone with TnT from a Tier 3.

I think that the new update is good, but leaves to much to chance. I have opened 5 Tier 1 and 2 Tier 2 chests on a map in beta and not had a single weapon, and I have also had 2 weapons in one chest.

I do understand where you're coming from, but I still disagree. If MCSG carries out a survey to get opinions from the community and the majority votes against updating the chests, I honestly don't understand why they're doing the exact opposite. Although I'd prefer the amount of items in chests to be reduced (arrows, iron armour) and I am happy with some of the changes, it is clear that most of our users aren't. As you can see in the photos above, 70% of players don't want the survival aspect to return. Developers wanted to know what the community thinks and they got an answer, so if nothing changes by the time the poll expires, staff members should just scrap the idea and either go back to the original V2, or think of something that most of our members will be happy with.

Everybody should be like me, unbiased and easy going. I played V1, I like V1. I played V2, I like V2, really we just need to merge the good of both and then add tier 3s, simple, OR IS IT!?
xP

Exactly!
Just make the tier 1, 2 and 3 balanced. Less items or more, it's whatever. I rather have less though.

Again you're assuming things. We are not doing the exact opposite of what the poll shows. The chest update came before the poll was set up. The poll is there so the devs can know what they should tweak. As I've said on my earlier post, the reason things were nerfed in the first place(this being before the poll) was because of tier 3s coming out. It would not make sense whatsoever for the devs to code a poll feature, a page for the poll feature and post polls if they planned on doing the exact opposite. Also we will not be changing everything back to v2 because, as i've already stated in my earlier post, we don't want to stay the same forever. We want to make changes and improvements to keep things interesting.

Finally, someone who is cool and chill. Although I disagree with you, as I loved v1, you stated your opinion... Right!
