dyn map hide

Dyn map hide is a VIP benefit, and it's a great benefit indeed. The people that donate to the server do deserve such a great benefit, but the benefit is becoming a too great of an advantage. I do not ask for dyn map hide for normal citizens, but limits to dyn map hide for VIPs. I suggest only being able to use it for 3 hours and then a 1 hour cool down, or something of that sort. Many VIPs just have dyn map hide on and are never on the dyn map at all.

This is a big disadvantage to us normal players because they can see us coming from all the way across the map and we cannot do anything about it. It would help if we could see them coming every now and then.

 

I'd be fine giving it up as a VIP.
And you can also stand in water or on a half slab and be hidden.

 

Same here I am willing to give it up but if this does go away would we get any other benefits?

 

I feel that VIPs have a ton of benefits and have a real advantage over other players. And that's speaking as a VIP, not as an admin.

 

Although this is coming from someone who does not have the benefit, I agree that this is too much of an advantage. The problem is that people use it as a big raiding benefit, allowing them to raid a town without anyone even knowing they are there until after they kill someone or get spotted by someone in-town. Which for new players as well as the players that are trying to build or even players are not prepared for a raid, it makes for a very crappy experience.

 

I'd be fine with dropping this benny.

 

i use it everyday, everytime i come on, i hate when people are near me, yes its smp but im kinda into living alone on a private island drinking a nice cold one looking off into the sunset without having to worry about others. its nice to chat with em, just not hang. :}

 

Yeah, I like that its not to big of an advantage over non VIPs.

 

I'm up with that.

 

That seems like a good trade if the VIPs are okay with it.

 

that's why i suggested the limit and cool down because it is a great VIP perk.

 

We payed to have these benefits, so we should be able to keep them.

I payed to help the server costs as this is a great server to be a part of. I would have done it without the perks. But that's just me. 8)

 

Dynmap hide is a huge advantage and I think the best VIP benefit. It doesn't give too much of an advantage, people are just over-reacting. The new dynmap where you can be under a block, in water, etc. gives way more of an advantage than dynmap hide in my opinion. When we added that it was like giving the players who couldn't donate a way to have dynmap hide and now how they're saying that we have too big of an advantage doesn't make much sense to me. Sure people can't see us when we're raiding, but it doesn't make us invisible. If they were in their town it would make no difference at all. I would be pretty pissed if dynmap hide was taken away, but that's just my opinion.

 

Theres no way in heck you should take this perk away. There are ways to stay hidden from dynmap without it. The benefit to hide yourself from the map is a privilege to people that want to help the server and has donated. This perk isn't out of reach for any player and frankly to be asking for this to be removed by non Vip members doesn't really seem right.

 

what if we gave em a choice?
do u want dynmap with your vip, or do you have 10 lwcs

 

^that.


And, I think this isn't the biggest perk. It gives a huge advantage over non-donors, but when I only pay 200r to lock a chest ($60+ category) I think that's a ton more helpful than dynmap hide. I'd be for losing dynmap hide and gaining 10 chests.

 

+1 I only donated for Dynmap Hide

 

Think there will be more unhappy players than unhappy players in the pvp world due to this. As a player is only visible during the day or not under a block with dynmap hide, doesnt give a huge advantage at all. Dont understand where this became such a problem. (and all this is comming from a user that doesnt even use it in pvp world, keep that inmind with my argument)
