Introducing the Patron Subscription Rank

The initial hit might be bad but not terrible. Only as people leave and then come back will they understand why this Paton thing is what it is.

IMO it's the way to earn money to run the network - it MUST have good features or none will buy it but still I dont like feature where patrons can join server earlier than no-pay players, it is perfect example of discrimination or less harsh - Patrons are "more equal" than others.

As I said - it's the way to earn money to run the network but I always thought MyM is network where WE - the players, are equal to each other, but society proofs equality is a lie and sadly MyM do the same nowdays.

 

I like your argument lol. I think that things will pass. I mean ive always been jellous of donors that were able to fly and have more homes then I but I guess like you said society proves diffrent people who are able to benifit something in someway more than others get extra privileges. Thats just how things work. SirWill was brilliant in allowing players with less than 24 hours of playtime join in with the patreons but I can see your point.

 

Donor have kits and few features like more homes, /heal, /fly, thay are not essential to gameplay because you can make items that allow you to fly, etc., they make game slighlty easier but Patrons broke balance - ability to play 1-2 days before all others it affect gameplay as much as possible

I know new servers dont start everyday but as you said @_JakeZ_ it will pass although it will leave bad impression for some players.

 

What do you think about what SirWill said about allowing players with less than 24 hours playtime to join the server on launch?

 

It's only to lure new players, maybe older player will be offended by that - "why random dude that registered on MyM 15 mins ago can join and i cant? I play on MyM ....... time, @($..*@ staff!" but imo it's better to have new players in network cuz players are network not the servers or hardware we play on.

BTW. why since 1.10 amount of players drops? Cuz 1.10 is worst ver. of MC of all time imo - all 1.10 packs are so buggy and glitchy...

 

Lol. Dude 1.10 was a solid half-a** itl get better

 

Im not likely to back this. I would have re-purchased my rank for 1.10, but have no desires for this

 

Its like I said the patrons are basicly the ones who made the server possible by funding it. Guys it literally 2 days.

 

also WHAT? Can I not buy patron+ in bulk? so like 1000 euros for 100 months?

 

I have been a member since May 29, 2014 and have donated when I can to support the community. I gotta say I honestly don't agree with this at all. A server opening should be an exciting time for us to try something new. Now I can't because I have played more than 24hrs or I have to purchase patron for $9.99/month? So instead of playing on a new server possible meeting new people I have to wait 2 days....

Way to reward your members that have supported you over the years... Probably spent more than $9.99 a month on different kits and so on. I donated because I wanted to support this community not because I wanted access to a server a few days early...

Ill wait the two days and accept the punishment for being a loyal member.

 

How early access affect gameplay? Don't you think early access is HUGE affect on gameplay? Non-patrons doesnt have 2 days of gameplay at all! If not being possible to even experience gameplay isn't huge affect on it, so idk what it is in your opinion.

And Forever Stranded is a worst example you can bring on because it's a HQM modpack so bringing this as argument misses its purpose, but it's only available example and 1st server affected by new rank, so every mistakes and opinions will be tesetd on it.

PVP? I dont know any pack on MyM where PVP is ESSENTIAL part of gameplay so causes of PVP is mostly limited to inside of protection between co-op players so another argument send to trash.

" Besides that there will be more players and thereby more lag." - did you forgot about Hype-train? Every new pack is overflowing with players that wants to play in in. EVERY NEW PACK! Dont you remember lags on Ozone 2? Beyond? Direwolf's 1.10 when they came up?

And another argument against early access to patrons - that your lag argument above - so you just want to say you(staff) wants to give Patrons and fresh-new players ability to play on limited player amount server(i mean only they can join) just to keep them in buying Patron and new players to stay? If not, okay, but that's how it looks.

 

I think theres a missunderstanding somewhere. I think from the way I see it Slind was arguing the fact that beside having to wait untill full release it doesnt effect gameplay. Meaning the ones who get in a bit earlier then full release are not ahead of you or anyone else that gets in at full release. And as its a hqm pack it doesnt matter when you start. You were basicly reinforcing his opinion about pvp because he brought up that pvp is not essential to the pack and you argued the same side. Your right about the hype train but this acually prevents lag as theres not a burst of players at the start therefor lags at moderation. This also insures we get a premium server for the pack as it has more money backing it rather as Slind mentioned a min spec cheap server with adds and have lag. Beside if patrons was not a thing thereticly you would still get in on the current dated release and not the 2 days early (I.E early-access)

 

Patron and Patron+ access is similar to purchasing a game on Steam with early access options, you aren't obligated to, but if you want a head start, a retaliative term in this case, then you can donate towards the costs of running the server. If you cannot, or chose not to the server and all the sand will still be there when it goes public.

 

Unless someone veinminers it xD that is if that option is in the pack

no veinminer is not in the pack

 

Unless it's a pvp oriented server I see only two reason that early access would make any gameplay difference at all. One is if you are having a race with one of your friends in which case you should just both agree to start at the same time anyway. And two if it's that invasion modpack (which MYM doesn't have a server for because it would make a difference). Otherwise there's no reason to be mad that there's someone who is a bit further then you when you join. That happens anyway every time you join a pre-existing server (like if I were to go join the PO2 kappa server right now.) why do you care if there's others in the server that are further then you? Is it really that important to be number one?
