EU meeting 1/16/2017
Go over Meeting rules
Rule changes that will be in this wipe!
-No workbenches can block doors, windows as a in and out point.
-Nothing that can picked up by the hammer can block doors, Rugs are the only thing allowed to block doors.
-pretending to raid (hitting a door every so often) in order to KOS is a violation- raid or get out
-do not PM admins for help make a ticket or use discord support
-No blocking off TC’s you can code lock them and lock them with a door but you can not wall them in.
Fire Arrows are fixed and can only be on hv and reg arrows with the plugin.
-RP town has come to Dark Ages how does everyone like having it here??
  Crashing
  Maybe make it a little smaller?
  Look into the zoning see if its causing issues
-Go over the "bullshit raid" and how it's not allowed. Players that whack a wall or a door (with no intention of actually raiding) just to make a 'raid zone' so they can kill people are in violation of the rules. Doing this is a combination of door-camping, griefing, harassment, and trying to get around the KOS rules. Thus, it is punishable by a 48h ban, or more severe for multiple offenses.
-Specifically mention not poking at people that just got banned. It only pisses them off more and is going to make the situation escalate, probably in the form of harassment in the discord channel. If someone gets banned, keep your comments to yourself. Furthermore, stop commenting on past bans of active players. Bans are admin decisions and only admins know the whole story and all of the variables. If you feel a player should or should not have been banned, or if you disagree with players being unbanned, take your issues to the forums, or request to speak with an admin privately. By that, I mean privately ask to speak with them privately. You can ask, but admins DO NOT OWE YOU AN EXPLANATION FOR MATTERS THAT DON'T CONCERN YOU.
-Please reiterate that you shouldn't send private messages to admins in-game or via discord.
-NoMansLand farther into the map. How did people like this? Did they visit AirField even tho its in No Man’s?
Not really worth going in there.
Some do not like it being in the game, where you have to walk all the way around it.
When we add the plugin for gather rates can be abused by larger groups.
Make it where you can’t build in No Mans?
-Update on Rafts we are looking into seeing in a couple months new models of rafts and having some more fun with them yay!
Worries of stashing stuff in rafts and on themselves then riding out into the ocean
The chairs and campfires go inv. Sometimes
Becomes motionless while loading big builds then moves super fast
Sailing, when they stop stuff goes inv.
issue with zones and the campfires on the raft, not sure if it still exists, if you enter a zoned area on your raft ... if the zone has autolights.. then the raft keeps the autolights
Maybe issues with coming back to where the raft was before can reload wood in campfires.
-Update we are not announcing raid’s in chat.
-Things From US meeting not covered last week
    ADMIN ABUSE CLAIMS
Answering Questions ahead to friends first?
Higher up Admins have looked into this.
Please do not PM Admins if you need something done, Please put in a ticket or the support channel in discord.
If it is a serious matter (Time sensitive), then you may PM an admin. Or do the @Wizard on duty Tag on discord.
Admins usually respond Quicker to Tickets then just calling out Admin in Chat.

SHEET METAL COMPLAINTS
A lot of people do not like it. Does not seem medieval
We are working with Devs to make an adjustment to control the reskin function to control the skins allowed in Dark Ages.
If you have skins for sheet metal doors contact Ceib or Yog.

NPC TOWN IS COMING BACK
But in a small way.
We don’t want you to rely on them.
Trading, not a lot of resources.
Side note Ceib is collecting 1 week wipe themes if you have any we can collect some to turn in.
Game Of Thrones theme
Suggestions
-Make ladders /s only and unlearnable, will make people worry less about roof defence, and make raiders use them more sparingly. Also increase drop rate of either satchels or bean cans to balance with the removal of ladders. At the moment bases are impossible to even slightly call Roleplay with the amount of overhangs, spikes, and drop boxes to prevent ladders. -Potato
NO NO NO NO NO NO
Against this
If they do this Increase RP if we do this.
Add Ladder hatch to daily kit?
Maybe see more compounds bc of this? ^^^
Have ladders in loot boxes but unlearnable?
-Get the factions plugin so clans can claim land
Some say No some say yes
Tax’s?
Land upkeep cost?
Unfair to solo’s and Stop RP
-Wb a king of the hill type event where there is a tower on the top of a hill and there are 2 or 4 teams trying 2 raid the tower and get to the loot room on top and they have 2 hold it for 15 or 20mins And if the event doesn’t go anywhere and no one is able to hold the tower long enough after like an hour or so then the teams are able to raid each others bed rooms and destroy their beds (aka wiping a team out of the comp) in an attempt to lessen the competition of holding the hill, once there is 2 teams left there is no more raiding bed rooms And everyone starts off with like roadsign armor and each floor on the tower contains some better loot like armor upgrades (metal) and like meds and raid mats maybe even have beds in the chests and at the start everyone has sleeping bags so it makes it not a constant flow of people unless you got the bed The teams could be of any size as long as the numbers are even Or even better have a shop on the bottom floor of the tower and have the currency on each floor and the floors have more of this currency the higher u go in the tower, and players are able to get this currency and go downstairs to vending machines and trade it in for armor upgrades or raid mats (The vending machine should probably just be at each teams individual castle to make people have 2 risk running back with it and stop people from just buying meds, raid mats, and armor at the cap point and  make them have to run back to the base instead) Maybe even implement a life system or like limited armor and gear sets to make people play smarter with their  set and make it more strategic Idk honestly just spewing out crap rn lmk what u guys think if it’s good upvote it if u don’t like it downvote it if u have a suggestion or something to add to it just comment below and tag me if u want to I’d like to know what everyone thinks as this could be a new alternative to castle wars, as it can be played with fewer people and could be shorter than a game of castle wars
I mean we could also just do a PvP tourney make like a solo, duo, or even a trio. And like their is a ladder system and shit and people can use research paper and place bets on who they think will win the tourney or match and have the entire tourney random and have like a random match up ladder where some teams have bi matches
Maybe even get some people to stream it on twitch and be a caster, winning team could maybe get research paper or something, I feel like it could be a solution to the trash talking between clans on who’s better at the game and who’s the stronger clan idk feel like it would be a good way to include the community and make the events feel more like an RP event kinda like a gladiator event
Oh shit just thought of something else u could hold a competition/event for the nonpvpers where they have to build a gladiator arena and the admins will pick the top 5 or however many and have players vote on which arena they like the most and the winners arena is what’s used in the PvP tourney
Any event is welcome.
-Reduce med stacksize to a maximum of 4
-Remove the F1 raid plugin. (being abused to find the whereabouts of players)
  Remove owners name and just give cords where the base is that got hit
  Maybe tell the grid?
  Having issues with it working at all

-Remove caves as kos zones (if you can build somewhere you shouldn't be able to kos people who live there, also a good environment to rp)
 Sounds like a good idea
 Making a town in a cave.
-A rule against excessive smack talk in global chat (a stricter one than the one we have right now anyways) and a rule against OOC personal attacks
Adding more key words
Adding rude names
-Take away people’s name in the F1 but give location of the raid
-Quest Vinder More quests/more reward remove it all together?
-would it help the raiding situation if you took away crafting of satchels and instead transferred it to beancans it would take more work overall to raid but bigger clans would still be able to do their thing and smaller players would still be able to function unless they are really lazy and in that case they shouldnt raid anyway or eco raid
Several think this would be a very good idea
Make it more interesting
HELL YEAAAAH
-Animal Farming plugin?
Asking Admins to be more strict. When people repeat and we have to keep saying it over and over to do something about them.

-Pet plugin not working
-Spotlights being removed
One disagrees Carl doesn’t want it removed
Make it in /s
Admin only can place?
Like for LightHouses and Theaters
-Ceiling Lamp and making it craftable
uncraftable
For growing plants
-External wood gates being in loot boxes.make them unplaceable all over the map?

-Horse riding plugin is said to be fixed and asking if we can see about bringing it back onto the server.

-Furnace Stack Mod-See if its been updated?
