'Server's gone down hill. It's dead.' Yep, very constructive. We now know exactly where we need to improve to get back up.
I'm not the one giving constructive criticism here, I was just telling Jess why Amanda was criticizing the server.
I can see the obvious discomfort you're causing here on this thread that wasn't even meant to be directed towards the dark corners of our server. I will agree with you that we do need to work on some things but throwing out your stripped opinion on this hard-worked and well-earned server is not anything that should be praised. You honestly don't know what's going on, if you did, you wouldn't be saying the things you're saying. It's a different world behind the face of the server, where all the mechanics take place and all the staff put their heads together to make this server functional. We might not have a desirable player base, but that's okay because we know that we'll have a groundbreaking comeback one day, we're just playing the waiting game. I've been staff for about a year and a half and still haven't seen it all, but I've seen enough to know that we're the closest staff team you'll ever come across, even if that means making decisions that result in debates or even slicing our player base in half to get one 4x bigger, you just wait. Have a good one, honey.
If it isn't obvious enough, people whom rate games, give feedback and/or voice their opinion, whether it be negative or positive, are interested in the game/server/etc but they voice their opinion because they want to see it become better and evolve. So to answer your question, I'm STILL here because I care about the server and want to see it evolve. And I WILL give positive and negative feedback when I see the situation fits it. If you're not okay with receiving negative feedback, then make it a rule on the forums or do what tickles your fancy. Put it, "you cannot voice your personal opinion", signed, dated, shipped, etc. And Jess, before you go look at my recent playtime, just know I don't care to log-in cause I haven't found anything worth playing. I love Survival and with the opening of Skyblock, Survival's population shifted to Skyblock. Playing on a dead Survival is not the ideal 'multiplayer' experience, if 'dead' is too hard of a word then feel free to find something softer. If anything this thread proves one thing. Anytime someone has a negative opinion, the reaction is to tear them a new one instead of trying to find why they feel the way they do. Cause God forbid someone has a different opinion on Noble Craft. I gave constructive feedback once, former players and staff loved some of the stuff I brought to the table. But they were either derived into something people hated or never brought to fruition. So, I believe I am one who can actually say that being constructive on here is a waste of time. As much as I'd like to see Noble Craft succeed and go back to it's former glory, it's very hard to begin to provide ideas, feedback, suggestions, etc at the moment.
If you'd like to point me in the direction of a thread that is purely constructive criticism and feedback, please do. I've always said I'm open to it, it helps us to improve the server. But you see, when we have people left and right claiming how this is a 'dead server' and that we're purely doing this for the money, do you expect us to tolerate that? I don't have nearly the time I used to in order to really get to know why someone claims such a thing, so if all they can waste our time with is by beating a dead horse, then it's not worth our time. Can you blame them? They're still here enjoying what we have to offer, yet like mentioned above, we have people constantly regurgitating the same dead argument. It gets to a point where it's beyond ridiculous. I couldn't care less that these people post those threads, but all it's doing is producing more negativity towards an already fragile community. Sorry, but did you not just say: Yet... So do we, or do we not listen to constructive criticism? Just because an idea you bring across to us is liked, doesn't mean it's gonna be done 1:1 as you wanted it to be. Yes, some ideas aren't well received, but that's the gamble you take with any kind of project. In regards to Survival, we realised what we did wrong with it, to which Skyblock is working exactly as we wanted Survival 2 to work. Our plan is to at least somewhat follow what we did with Skyblock and put that into new servers that will be coming in the near future. But hey ho, this post will likely not go anywhere neither, it'll just be contrived as me throwing a fit at you rather than trying to give our side to it. We'll see how things play out over time; good or bad.
Because the two quotes you're so confused about aren't clear. I'll go ahead and spell it out for you, John. One quote suggests a PAST TIME where a CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK was well received but, as you so bodily stated, wasn't 1:1 done, even though the populous loved the idea. This was the birth and death of your foster child, Golden Hearts. While I still enjoyed parts of Golden Hearts, there were some parts of it that should have never been made, like purgatory. The original idea was to have a custom difficulty hard mode where mobs roamed dominant. Instead a hard mode with lives was created, once you lost all your lives you were thrown into purgatory. That's where everything fell apart. Purgatory was explained the forums to be a death area where you had to perform a bunch of tasks in order to come back to life. Instead it was a graveyard where the only thing you could do was... Nothing. The other quote references players who attempt to voice their opinion but get flagged for either server hating or ridiculed for having a different opinion. People will always have an opinion whether it be perceived as good or bad is up to you. It's also up to you whether you want to listen or ignore. Finally, I don't care if a person's post is seen as a throwing a fit or not. I read everyone's post in the same tone and manner. However, if someone else wants to view a post as throwing a fit then by all means, be happy.
Since its caused a fight, I'm going to explain what I meant. I respect the development considering I believe both lew and noble started college this past year.However, I think the amount of helpers and admins and mods is ridiculous, and I believe that if your going to have that many helpers, maybe you should advertise more to get more players. For example, the server I work for, has about 50 staff total but we have around 150 people players in the afternoon. We balance it out. I love the server, but as I said I believe we could be doing a little more as a community to make the server more popular again. We can do it but it has to be a group effort. I think we should get rid of the dual survival
Hold on, There are 5 helpers, 1 mod and 2 SrMods. some staff are helping in other ways than being on the server. that's not exactly over-staffed. Honestly, that's being smart. Since there are about 8 staff 1 is bound to always be on, or able to get on.
Revamp Survival-1 --- Double Post Merged, Dec 5, 2016, Original Post Date: Dec 5, 2016 --- if there is 8 staff on and mid-day around 5 theres 8 players on, their overstaffed.
