Deadlines are great, but don't make it a set day out of a month. Make it a set month out of the year (Ex: August 2016). It will cause you guys less stress, and still allow people to be hyped for what you're releasing. Not having deadlines shows that you guys are too busy with real life stuff, too lazy to accomplish anything, or have too high expectations for things on the server. Don't think of last night's "release" as a finished product. Think of it more as a test run. You had people on, you saw what was alright and what wasn't. Now you guys can fix the issues now that you have a better idea of what's wrong. Everything was pretty cool when I was on the server last evening though. Hope to see the server finished soon.

I nominate 24/7 Walmart server instead of TGH. Then everyone can just be miserable all the time.

so wheres the infomation?

I would be so down with getting rid of cyberpunk. And had I made the post Lan did I wouldn't have been so polite about it. I've hated the map since it's been here and I haven't even attempted to hide my dislike for the map. I think that besides abstract, which was bad for similar reasons, it's the most unpleasant map that has been in the rotation since I've played on N64tress/TGH. I would prefer it gone, as I think it makes the server worse, and while I'm sure some people have reasons for liking the map/wanting it to stay, and a few of those may even be halfway decent. I just don't care, I don't think a good enough reason exists to keep the map. And I would be happier if I never had to play it again

so this is a small map with tiny spawns what can be easily spawn camped but thats not why im making this thread the reason is people camp in the disco area and Spam buttons this soon becomes extremly annoying and people start leaving (i dont blame them) but the reason people vote for this map is to camp the disco and go around killing people but other then that this map serves no purpose and if the buttons were disabled i bet people will just leave and not play till map change.

Alright, so there is a lot of topics I want to discuss so I will be leaving this in general for more feedback and information from the community (specifically people that played today). Prior to release Prior to Saturday, we only had one builder(Rukibah) working on the Faction world spawn. The task at hand was rather daunting and large scale so it was taking some time while our deadline was coming up on Saturday. We had Klure (our creative spawn builder) come on and assist with building the spawn. There was simply too much to be done and spawn was not finished by Saturday. Owl and I had the simple solution to call any xG member willing to work on building. This basically assembled a team of roughly 8 builders. At this point on Saturday, it was very apparent we would not meet our deadline so we decided to release the server today(Sunday). Although all of the intended building was finished, spawn's quality was severely lowered due to the time frame that was given and everything straying away from the original builder's design. It was rushed and we should not have released the server. Deadlines After discussion between staff, deadlines were set for the server release. This is a bad idea, and I apologize for not speaking up on this matter. We will not give any release date or ETA for anything minecraft related in the future. It sets unrealistic expectations on people that have other things to do and also that do not have a drive to work on minecraft 24/7. In the future we will only provide a release date when we know the server is tested and ready for people to actively play on it. The release The release of the actual server today was fairly mediocre for several reasons. I had not been able to fully test permissions in an environment where players are actively trying to play the game normally. I resolved most, if not all, issues with permissions at the expense of causing the server to lag for almost a minute at a time per reload of the configuration. Some plugins were not configured properly, mainly factions. I did brief testing to see if the plugin worked and did not actually do a gameplay test. This resulted in people having to use faction ranks in order to allow other people to build in their faction (sorry). Spawn, well, did not look to good. I am no builder but the general concensus was that spawn did not look good. The actual town that spawn was hosting was rushed and it was very obvious (it was not your fault either). Do not take this as an insult to anyone that has helped work on building, I appreciate your hard work. The store of the server was not up, however this is somewhat irrelevant. Some people were asking for this though. I was going to throw up a buycraft page but realized we would not need it. There are more reasons but these were the ones that stuck out the most to me. Every other issue ties in with these. The future Releasing the server actually provided me with lessons in which will help me improve the server. With that being said, the server will be shutdown and return when it is finished. A short list of things that will be done before the next release: A new spawn will be built that will take the form of a hub. This will provide us with a re-usable spawn that can support server expansion in the future if minecraft takes off. Faction spawn will also be remade. I will work on the game content. This will include things people requested today upon release and anything people recommend in this thread. Specifically Mcmmo being the biggest thing people requested will be added. We will do actual live play testing. Today actually turned out to be really good for me and owl because we got a good understanding where the server stood and what we need to do to improve it. Play testing will also allow me to fix anything permission or plugin related. This will give us more time to come up with more EULA compliant donator benefits. Please post CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and feedback. Feel free to recommend ideas or themes for the new hub/spawn. I also apologize to anyone who wanted to play on the server, even though it is at a functional state we will be closing the server. Anyways, thanks for reading.

Now, I know that one is able to donate for in game things such as a constant killstreak and no-clip, but I have an idea. Since it's possible to buy no-clip in game, I think it'd be a good idea to make a constant killstreak of 10 available in the in game shop. I know that me along with a few others on this server would really enjoy being able to get a constant killstreak in game. It's just an idea to consider. Thanks for reading.

Wow, thats the best starting room ive ever see, keep that shit up bb <3

You do realize that you have vouched already, correct?

Yeah, thanks to Nomulous it's fixed for now. Haha.

+1 has been around for quite a while and I don't remember having any issues with him then or now, A: 8 M: 8

Regardless of the age issue, it's a "No-no" for me, yesterday was the first time I saw him in our servers, precisely jb1, and he made a pretty good impression by starting insulting me and people on the server for no reason, you can check the chat log. -1 NO-NO A:1 M:-1

Age isn't that personal, there are thousands of other people your age.

So I might be gone for like a week, again. I know its dumb.

All I want are the hallway maps gone, please god. Two maps, only two, drive me to the point of insanity. Frantic Factory is so fucking boring. It's literally just a bunch of extremely small, connected hallways. People either just camp the teleports, or abuse the boxing ring glitch. Furthermore, it takes hours to get our sorry asses out of that map. People are so damn reluctant to rtv out of there that it physically pains me. I'd be ok if people were like, "Yeah! Let's go box on frantic", and then after an hour or two, chose a different map to go to. But no, what happens is; The competent people, (people who know that !rtv is a command) get there, they box for five minutes, then they get bored of it, and they leave, emptying the server, and making the map even less fun than it already is. Even if you find the Horseless Headless Horsemann and Monoculous fights fun, they're basically only accessible if you're on the red team, leading to bunch of people sitting in spectate, because they don't want to play on blue, as they'll likely be killed while attempting to make it to the boss room. But this isn't even the worse of the two, Cyberpunk is a literal hell. It's literally just a giant fucking hallway, with a bunch of small rooms, and tighter hallways attached to it. I have never seen a better map for explosive spam to thrive, as you have close to no wiggle room to strafe or dodge. Another problem with this sorry shit-show of a map would be the spawns. Who the fuck created this map, and why did they think that having random spawns was a good idea? Oh yeah, I just love respawning halfway across the map from my designated spawn room, only to realize that I'd like to change loadouts or classes, and have to traverse the previously mentioned "hallway of infinite explosive spam" just to do it, or suicide over and over all while losing credits. Oh but I'm not done yet, there's more to be told about this map's poor design. The fucking map creator had the gall to create two huge-ass fucking inaccessible sniper towers on either side of the narrow little hallway that most classes are forced to traverse. Yes, because the constant unavoidable explosive-spam wasn't enough, you now have to pray you don't get shot by a nest of snipers, impervious to all threats, (except for other snipers, niche sticky/jumper strategies, and random spawns) while not having any wiggle room in the tiny choke-point down below to even attempt dodging. Still not done. In the tiny-ass hallway, there are a multitude of props with extremely poor clipping, often leading to players getting stuck and being unable to move at all. Are my complaints finished yet? Nope! The music room is actual cancer. Any map with playable music is bad imo, as it often is just bad music (as is the case with PTC's "Enju City" and "Megalovania"), or the music just tends to conflict with anything a player is listening to themselves. But Cyberpunk takes it a step further, by not forcing a song to finish before another one is played. I don't know, maybe people think that this map is fun because they just like hearing the word "Sentry" spammed over and over again, but quite frankly, it makes me want to get out the ol' noose. There's also ways to place a teleporter on the bottom of the map. Touching the bottom of the map results in an instant death by the way. So yeah. There's always an engineer thinking he's the "next level top troller xd nislt" by doing that. Some people have claimed that there's a world above the cramped hallway. That there's buildings to traverse over, above the shitty little choke point. I have not been able to confirm this, as every time I try to rocket jump up there, I inevitably slam my head into some anime sign or light-post that's been placed above the hallway with little to no thought. And although I've already touched upon the problem of random spawns, I'd like to point out that spawn protection + not actually being in your spawn is basically just free godmode for a couple of seconds. Yeah, real "fun". Finally, the map's eye-rape-y, seizure inducing, and in general, just looks bad, with it's constant smash of puke-green and plum-purple combination. Nobody knows what the fuck any of the "anime" constantly spammed around the map is either... "Oh yeah, sweaty-water-bottle-girl? I remember watching that one!" Please for the love of all this is good and holy, remove cyber. Remove it forever and never let it return.

Bye Felicia.

Why take all AP classes if you are in the 4th percentile on the SAT @Firewolf ?

Appreciate the post, we can discuss further actions we wanna do to mine craft when I return to bring it back up in a timely manner.
