Stopping weather control completely!

Ok so along with other people, I'm still concerned that weather control items are still available. Vampires trigger rain sometimes. Everyone should follow the rules even vampires. Atleast make the config for vampires different so they stop triggering rain. Weather control is banned please fix this.

 

Then you must certainly ban sleeping, that removes rain, and changes it to daylight, no? look, banning some of this is impossible, just... let some things be, you can't disable vampires being able to summon rain either, so

 

Yeah, weather control is unfortunate on MP servers. The more players, the more potential for pain.

 

Whats so wrong with rain anyways? I am not a vampire, but its just one of those natural things that will happen, also as Chugga said, its not possible because people will always find loopholes to get past it without consequences.

 

Well, depends on the pack. On civ, folks with bees don't care for the rain. Within the last week, a player was grinding something requiring rain, (water elementals, or something?) and we had about 30 minutes real time of continuous rain. Every time it would stop, he'd start it up again. I don't do bees, and generally don't care about the weather, but even I'd had enough of it by that time. The point is, on an MP server, what benefits you very possibly is detrimental to someone else, unless the pack is very well crafted. As such, balance is key. If RNG is responsible for rain, in theory it will balance over time. Everyone gets a turn. When someone can upset that balance, some people will abuse that power and then you get one-sided results. It is what it is. Not much to be done about it.

 

You could disable vampires from getting the rain storm ability in 3 ways I belive 1. Ban "Blood Crucible" which would also make it imposible to get any of the 3 abilities "Teleport" and "Bat Swarm" 2. Ban Water Artichoke as that is what you use on a "Blood Crucible" To get the Rain Storm ability. 3. Ban vampirism completely as you would not be able to get any the Rain storm ability at all. There might be some workaround to this but thoose are the only 3 ways I see. Banning the blood crucible would probably be the smartest one but then again one of the main reasons I became a vampire is to be able to use the bat swarm.

 

could u explain what exactly the issue is do they use it excessive? or just now and again? if it is used excesively make a ticket and im sure staff will speak to them.

aka remove witchery disableing all this stuffs just so they cant make it rain really?

 

Yeah, it just feels like work and hassle for something that, at least on civ, hasn't become a real problem yet. Knock on wood. The one time it got really onerous, I said something in chat and it stopped pretty quickly. But, I can totally see that other servers with larger pop, or less accommodating players, might not work as well.

 

true but like i said im sure staff deal with excessive weather control so why dont we just put the ban hammer down

 

Civ also has ways to reverse these changes, which are generally cheaper than the 'negative' ones.

 

In the meantime on a random skyblock "Can admin pls make rain?"

 

ok i think that compressed mod has a few issues

 

ok i think you have the wrong thread

 

indeed i do im smart haha

 

Expanding on your moment about the water artichoke, to even BEGIN witchery, you need anointing paste to make your witches cauldron, and obviously, you could make a new recipe for it without water artichoke and then having to go through all of the rituals and other recipes etc to just make a tiny change. Also, whats so bad about rain. Its just rain its not going to make you melt like the wicked witch you aren't. Yeah it may be annoying but seriously you do not have to start a conversation over RAIN, if rain is what you are going to complain about, if it is just the sound, or don't like the weather particles options>music+sounds>weather>OFF.

 

rituals to my knloage cant be changed very easily as witchery is closed source and has no api

 

The effort of the staff changing the rituals is still there so I mean this mostly has been about rain being annoying to SOME players.

 

I don't think there's a config, basically you'd have to request a feature from the guy who made it to do that, that's why they won't, too much hassel
