Title: Vote Discussion
Post by: DeeKay on March 02, 2014, 10:48:25 am
There was a discussion like this a while ago, but I thought I'd revisit it to get some feedback from new members.
We're going to be improving voting soon. We realise that simply getting a diamond per vote isn't exciting anymore, at least for older members. So that's where we need your guys input, what are the kind of rewards you would like to see?

Here's what I was thinking so far:
$1000-$1500 per vote as well as a random chance to be rewarded with an enchanted item or another 'rare' item/block.
I also really liked the idea of receiving 'vote points' when you vote, to spend in a second store to buy items you wouldn't be able to buy regularly. This was suggested in the last discussion.

So let me know what you guys think!

i do agree that the diamond reward is a little boring especially after youve gotten situated but the in game money reward should not be 1000, im thinking of around 500 nevertheless i do agree it needs a bit of updating

I vote yes!

The Idea of having 'voting points' is a good idea...

There would be a separate store with different things that you could buy only with voting points :)

I vote yes!

I'm glad you guys like that idea. In the next week or so I will have updated voting to give money and the random item thing, but the points idea will have to wait, as it will take a little bit of coding.

Great! I think this will make people want to vote more, and will help the server's name get out there! ;D

And more competition for top voter :P

The next part is what you guys would like to see in the vote store.
As it stands now, you would get 1 point per vote, and there would be a list of about 10 or so items to buy ranging from 1 to 40 points (numbers will probably change)

So lemme know of what you'd like!

To be honest this is a bit of a hard choice...

As seen as rare blocks, how about moving the player / mob heads to the voting shop? Seen as not a vanilla obtainable item, wouldn't it make sense to add these as a sense of achievement :D? Plus, been discussed alot before, but more of a high end priced object, but what about a nether star, know these are controversial, but would be better than a Beacon as then, people have the star to do as they wish with it, e.g item frames etc. Along with the idea of sponge protection, I know alot of people don't have the money to purchase the sponge in the shops, if people were to vote enough times, this would give them another way to try and achieve the sponge, along with buying it in the shop.

Yeah, I was planning on adding the beacon, but I guess you're right about the star. Things like protection sponges I can see happening too, as well as the mob heads. The beacon will be available to buy in the new shops too btw (spoiler!)

Was referring to the beacon being in the shops, not the shops themselves.
And the highest price something will be is around 200 points. I'm not that mean.

Post by: CollisionCourse on March 05, 2014, 08:35:35 pm
whats a beacon?
its a block that you place on a pyramid of either iron, diamond, emerald, or gold blocks and it gives you certain potion effects, you can onnly choose one but a top teir beacon allows for either the second stage of the selected potion effect for the potion effect and regeneration, the only ones you can get are: speed, strength, jump boost, haste, resistance, and regeneration all of which except for regeneration you can get the second stage (speed 2 and so on)

Just a small update before any of the new features arrive, and before I make a news post:
At this time, when you vote you'll receive $1000 as well as 1 diamond. You can vote offline and receive the money, but not the diamond, just a heads up.
This will be more fleshed out later, but I thought I'd get that done while you guys wait for the points thing.

The next update will probably be some time, as it will take some coding to do.
Keep the suggestions coming though, I'm always up for new ideas!

i was thinking and i think nether quartz (ore) and obsidian should be in the points shop, they are very hard to get...
Title: Re: Vote Discussion
Post by: leatherneckjr on March 16, 2014, 05:28:36 am
Obsidian isn't hard to get or find, it just takes time to get. Quartz would be nice though

its just the time, people would build with obsidian if it wasn't as time consuming to get
Title: Re: Vote Discussion
Post by: DeeKay on March 16, 2014, 03:17:09 pm
Just note obsidian and quartz will both me in the new market also. There's not gonna be a lot of blocks that aren't in the new market and the current shops.

How about enchanted items and books, if you don't have a decent xp farm it tends to be difficult to obtain the levels.
