Should Alice be reset

at this point, the server is about 70-80% creative, with or without equivalent exchange, meaning all stuff is geared toward endless building and nothing else. reset is almost meaningless to me.

i'd love a reset, but at the same time, please leave a backup of the old server for us to download...

 

I think that if EE is disabled or nerfed more, that a reset is needed. I know a guy who has two large chest fulls of diamonds. If EE is not going to be changed or nerfed, than a reset would just be a little irritating.

 

i'm assuming you dont like EE? while it's true he has 2 chests full of diamonds, the fact that he's not spending it on anything seems to be the worse part.

 

I personally don't think it should be reset considering the effort you have to make to get those nice EE things. I mean, you need almost a stack of diamonds to get those nice things, and considering this, I think that person deserves to get nice things.

 

Alice definately MUST be resetted. I reported critical item dupe exploits and I know of some people who use/used them (including me, but I just tested and reported since I don't play anymore on the server until EE is away ). And it would just be unfair to the other players to let them have every item possible.

 

I think it should be reset; I was robbed anyway... and there are practically no ores down there so its almost impossible to make anything now as you get like 0 tin and copper or anything-its all been taken already and burned up in lava when poeple get burned up (like me with a full stack of both ores)

 

I hate to say it, but I've been mining, pelunking (pardon my spelling), and doing things wrong for almost a year, and only 2 or 3 times have I died from a lava flow. And as far as item dupe, I don't know what you'd expect from a Technic Pack variant, but with macerators and various EE things, you have to like these sort of things. I know the traditional crowd with this server is pure vanilla SK style, but there are those who like pure SK vanilla and like something that is haxish vanilla. I don't mean to rage, but I hope this "minority" of sorts doesn't get over looked.

 

Actually, I do like EE, (in some cases its very OPed). I'm saying that if EE is changed or removed, than the server needs to be reset. If EE is to remain the same, then the server should not be reset.

 

I have to like what sort of things? Item dupe bugs? (I'm not talking about any macerator dupes I really talk about duping every single item in game as many times as you want with no effort... and these ARE critical exploits) We still play on a survival server... not on a creative server...

 

and anyways there is another thing that is OP... lava cell generation. you can make them. Or just use redstone and gem of eternal density in a deployer. then the lava is sucked up by another deployer with a bucket for geo gens. a bit OP?

 

I'll find a video on that so you can see the exploit

found one:



anyone else notice the collectorMK3 on the floor in the timer?

 

I shall try exploit myself to find out if he has modded his technic. technic has all the normal stuff in alice (forestry... everything). the only difference really is that no SMP and all addons there... and mo' creatures.

it works. and I exploited it for mass-recycle and mass-fab. easy UUm.really, really easy UUm. just so long as you can make all the mats needed (which is a heck ton)

 

That's not an exploit, that is a smart combination of every mod. But IMHO it's OP.

 

I would like to see a reset with some more balance tweeks and a much better organized and larger spawn city without giant holes and tunnles all over under it. with the such small house plots and no seperation of housing and shops and factories instead of one giant laggy mess. maybe have a setup like the following.

- Spawn for server inside a large nice looking "capital" building
- large main strees with largeish lots for shops and stores to be built on (the server uses industrial craft so having a more modern looking city would make more sence)
- smaller plots for personal houses with smaller side strees and allyways
- factories all on the outskirts of city limmits to keep things localized and running when ever any player is on and working on thier factory and also would reduce lag inside the city for people working on thier house.
- last but not least the mines for factories all far outside city limmits so that they wont effect city buildings and subways and just making a bunch of dangerous holes.

If that heppend then I think the Alice server would run much better and look alot nicer as well as accualy giving reason to staying within or within reach of town and not 15K away like I currently am.

 

Cain nailed the issue on the head with why I fled spawn town, plus my general distrust of people. *goes to put up more no trespassing signs on Vincent*

 

add a kick-ass railcraft signaling system to get around town and it is perfecto

 

i was in the server today, someone said EE actually takes a lot of cpu, which adds to the list of reasons for it being taken out... can anybody confirm?

btw dave that's not really an exploit. mad ness, i dont consider it op cuz the lava cell is at a fair cost IMO

 

Also, I don't think you can use lava cells and lava buckets are way too inconvenient, trust me, I tried. And I'm not sure about CPU usage. I haven't noticed any more lag or any more errors than usual. In any case, it would make more sense that IC or BC would cause more lag because there are more factors. I mean, quarrys are large, moving machines that load when you get in chunk range.
