Add more perks to donor by DaGoldBrick July 26, 2015 at 10:07 AM UTC

Don't give me all this EULA bullshit like it's still even existant anymore. If avicus needs money, add more donor perks, as far as I can see diamond and emerald are complete rip offs.

FrozenSolstice July 26, 2015 at 10:07 AM UTC

I agree with this. There really isn't anything special about the donor ranks, apart from a fancy tag.

FrozenSolstice July 26, 2015 at 10:07 AM UTC

Yeah and you can't really join full games as sometimes the team comes up to its "maximum capacity"
That's a new thing. Very annoying.

PokerFace July 26, 2015 at 10:07 AM UTC

It's pretty hard to think of donor perks with the EULA.

Petlas July 26, 2015 at 10:07 AM UTC

Care to list some of your suggestions for more perks?

SnowSX3 July 26, 2015 at 10:07 AM UTC

Regardless of your personal opinion on it, The Avicus Network abides by EULA's policy.
That's a closed case, so we need to keep that in mind when discussing perks.

I do agree though, that we need to increase the appeal of our perks. 
Now, how we're going to do that is a much harder question to answer.

Cyanide's perk post.
Lots of really good ideas to make ranks more appealing ^^^

The EULA was completely scrapped.

There's your answer

What would be cool is if players can buy "armor" for use only in the lobby. Maybe have regulars able to buy dyed leather armor with credits while donators have access to all types of armor. Basically, some fancy clothes for the lobby. Plugin-wise, you would need to make it so that players do not lose their armor after the lobby restarts. The gold chestplate from completing parkour would be an incentive for non-donators. However, we don't want some full diamond people running around so, I suggest having only helmets and boots as options for donor perks.

Lol all ranks are rip offs now.
Gold & emerald are a certain amount of months only.
Not worth purchasing any of the ranks. But if needed tbh diamond is worth the most.
In a year diamond & emerald have the same amount that you pay but diamond has more perks (barely) and you still have to pay more after that year.
Gold is simply bad. In a year you pay $10 more than emerald & diamond and it has the smallest amount of perks.

I don't know, but I heard myself it was scrapped and to be honest it's common sense. When they got bought by Microsoft I heard in the subreddit that Mojang wanted to reinstate it, but when you're bought out by a billion dollar company you have to make rearrangements and they never got around to it and eventually people were saying it was dropped and was swept to the side due to no updates, and they aren't enforcing it in the first place and won't for a long time, if ever.

AtditC July 26, 2015 at 12:07 PM UTC

+1 I bought diamond to teleport in walls-games :(
and to get xp faster

BoldAndBrash July 26, 2015 at 12:07 PM UTC

I agree.

The ranks right now are awful, in my opinion. Credit boost is cool, ended chest slots is kind of useless since nobody needs that many, the TS channel is ok since lots of people go there sometimes, joining full teams isn't really even athing anymore.

I don't really have ideas for this, but I support it,

GrapeSmoothie July 26, 2015 at 12:07 PM UTC

When Microsoft bought mojang, mojang's EULA idea was never passed, thats why larger servers that are pay 2 win are still doing what they have been doing for years. EULA was scrapped as he said. :P

  1. Gold get to change one letter of their name to &6 / Emerald change two letters to &2 / Diamond change three letters in their name to &3
  2. "/alarm -/+ (map name)" 1 map for Gold, 4 for Emerald and unlimited for Diamond.
  3. Instant exclusive badge either &6 (gold) , &2 (emerald) and &3 (diamond) will be different badge depending on rank.
  4. In lobbies you get trials right? Then why not let donors have trials enabled whilst spectating a map + when games end/starting process?
  5. Emerald+ get /joinlate in Walls matches.
These are my ideas, I'll make sure they get sent to the devs if you are in favour for them.

Glitchaye July 26, 2015 at 1:07 PM UTC

How about Balanced kits that are donor only and /surface?


also fuck eula

Jahaj July 26, 2015 at 2:07 PM UTC

How about joining full games again?

OriginaI July 26, 2015 at 2:07 PM UTC

All of this needsto happen especially what aruatix said, /joinlate would be cool

steven5703 July 26, 2015 at 4:07 PM UTC

Its kinda necessary

aw :c

Infivix July 26, 2015 at 6:07 PM UTC

Couldn't agree more. Possibly add the ability to color your name in chat? Basically like /nick but with signs like &2, &a.

Good thing I got emerald while it was permanent.

BoldAndBrash July 26, 2015 at 6:07 PM UTC

aw :c
Sorry :^)

Pavlo July 26, 2015 at 7:07 PM UTC

Could be a restricted nick, one that only allowed you to change the name colours

That'd be nice. :3

Great idea, should get added.

- Whatever we currently have
- Kits (small ones that don't completely destroy gameplay, but just make it a little more interesting)
- Exclusive tags, badges, trails, and other cosmetics that only donors have access to (overall just higher quantity of cosmetics, some of which would only be available to donors.)
- The ability to use any colour on signs (why not, it'd be neat)
- When you first get the rank, you get x amount of credits. Ex. Gold would get 1500 credits upon first entering the server, Emerald would get 2500, Diamond would get 4000. Of course these numbers could change, but it's an idea.
- Talk in chat with colours (Lobby only)
~ An alternative to this is to have the option to talk in one colour all the time. (Diamond would have access to all colours other than dark, unreadable colours, while the other 2 have access to less). That way, we don't have people that talk in those unreadable colours. Idk, that can be figured out.
- Have the option to have a different colour name (Ex. Diamond players have access to all colours other than dark blue, black, and other unreadable colours, while the other 2 ranks have access to less. This would be lobby-only)

There's been discussion about some other ideas for donors, so I won't mention those. Some of the ideas that people have given here are also rather neat, and I'd love to see some of those ideas implemented as well.

YES PLEASE

NolanDalton July 27, 2015 at 5:07 AM UTC

It costs a lot of money to run a server, let alone an entire network of them + web hosting, we need money now, and this EULA shit isn't enforced at all, and what happens if we somehow get caught? We change it back.

steven5703 July 27, 2015 at 5:07 AM UTC

What about team colors though :(

PokerFace July 27, 2015 at 6:07 AM UTC

I like how nobody has anything to say about my lobby armor idea xD.

IcyCode July 27, 2015 at 8:07 AM UTC

I'm in favour of the EULA as a server owner myself it's not that difficult to abide with.

You could easily make loads of these lobby cosmetics available for donors or something

EULA is only to make servers fair so people with little money don't feel left out so stop insulting it

Have it only in the lobby

Robin_DD_J July 27, 2015 at 9:07 AM UTC

Just no colours. Colours in chat and in names are confusing, annoying for the eye and makes the server look unprofessional.

Have exclusive kits for donators?
