Suggestions for AoD 2.0/New PvP Server

[Excepted]

I believe I'm right in thinking there is an AoD 2.0 being worked on (correct me if I'm wrong) so here are some suggestions.

1) New name
I like the name AoD but I just think it could have a better name which more clearly says its a PvP server. However I don't think it should be EscapeRestart PvP but something which obviously relates to PvP and isn't dull.

2) More variety of game types
I think it would be good to have a few different modes rather than one. For example it could have an AoD type mode, A team death match mode and maybe a mode something like TNT? There's other modes I haven't mentioned which I also think could work. I don't think there should be more than 3-4 modes though as that may be too confusing.

3) Keep some old maps if possible
This isn't a massive thing but I really liked some maps such as Cubism and some other maps which I can't remember the name of (it's a while since I played AoD) which I think would be welcome on a new server along with new maps.

I miss having a server focused only on PvP and would like to see these ideas on a server. Thanks for the feedback in advance.

I thought it was just updating to 1.8?

I'm not sure but these are just some ideas which I think could improve it.

I really like the idea of having gamemodes like tnt mixed in. There's quite a few people who really miss tnt wars so to have a mini version of it on AoD might satisfy their needs and it hopefully wouldn't be too much to code considering it isn't a whole server! :D (But I know nothing about code so sorry if I'm wrong D:)

We could add Infection mode to it, as it got axed out.

If the code isn't possible a merge with TNT is. Do you remember that map on AoD that was like TNT? More maps like that could be implented.

I was thinking of suggesting that but I decided against it as its too similar to AoD for me. I'd much rather prefer an AoD game mode due to there being much more PvP.

SMP and AoD will go, BUT because both servers are being "redone" in a sense (New SMP and AoD 2.0) these servers will be down and the new forms of the servers will be presented when they are ready and run as event servers - if popular enough they will be permanent servers. I personally would prefer if we had both back at some point.

AoD is in fact being worked on and all of these ideas have already been brought up, it's just a matter of whether it will be implemented when it is released. (aka I can't say much about it atm) :)

Thank you for the input regardless!

Okay, thought I'd seen confirmation of this somewhere, annoyed ideas have been already suggested but oh well . Might be a bit of a stretch but is there any idea on when to expect a new AoD (There are literally no mc PvP servers I enjoy playing at the moment)

That I do not know/have been told. Perhaps I will update a message for when I will know, but the only thing I can say is - not anytime soon.

Wouldn't that make the server even more laggy-er (not sure if AoD 2.o is gonna be less lag but still)

Good thought, I hope not :c

I'd love for it to be less laggier :)

Oooo nvm keep the lag, it weakens __blade

Of course, our goal isn't to make AoD laggier, I'm sure we'll make attempts to reduce server lag wherever we can.

why would aod have tnt as a game mode

Because then there is a better mix of modes on AoD rather than the same one over and over whilst also providing a form of TNT for the players that miss it. I get its not as good as TNT having its own server but it does at least provide some form of TNT.

 

[Hunter]

...and where would you get the tnt?

...and where would you get the tnt?

AoD had pre-set kits for each map, map makers would just need to specify it was A TNT map and players would be given TNT for the round. There was a map like this on AoD that was basically TNT although not as advanced.

ExplosiveArena was pretty broken

No it wasn't! I mean....it just functioned less then other maps.....

What do you mean by broken? I didn't play AoD for its last year pretty much but I never had an issue with it, in fact it was one of my favourite maps.

Hold on let's go back to that TNT thing like it somehow wasn't the most bizarre thing you could've said.

All our servers focus on one type of game mode

True, but it wouldn't hurt to try something different imo.
