IMPORTANT: Death Drop Updates / PvP Changes!

[Migas]

Hey everyone  !

Since it was requested from a lot of people, Death drops are now changed and

Dying will now make you lose your items!

Those changes will occur at Saturday November 23rd, 7pm GMT time / 2pm EST time.

So, there will be a lot of changes that will be listed below:

01. Dying will now cost you money!

                 Death costs on Pern, Pern_Nether and Pern_The_End:

                       - Cactus = 5% of your balance. (Minimum 25$ and Maximum 1000$)
                       - Explosion = 5% of your balance. (Minimum 25$ and Maximum 1000$)
                       - Anvil Drop = 5% of your balance. (Minimum 25$ and Maximum 1000$)
                       - Fire = 5% of your balance. (Minimum 25$ and Maximum 1000$)
                       - Potions = 5% of your balance. (Minimum 25$ and Maximum 1000$)
                       - Mobs = 5% of your balance. (Minimum 25$ and Maximum 1000$)
                       - PvP = 5% of your balance. (Minimum 25$ and Maximum 1000$)
                       - Poison = 5% of your balance. (Minimum 25$ and Maximum 1000$)
                       - Thorns = 5% of your balance. (Minimum 25$ and Maximum 1000$)
                       - Wither = 5% of your balance. (Minimum 25$ and Maximum 1000$)
                       - Drown = 10% of your balance. (Minimum 50$ and Maximum 2000$)
                       - Lava = 10% of your balance. (Minimum 50$ and Maximum 2000$)
                       - Lightning = 10% of your balance. (Minimum 50$ and Maximum 2000$)
                       - Starve = 10% of your balance. (Minimum 50$ and Maximum 2000$)
                       - Suffocate = 10% of your balance. (Minimum 50$ and Maximum 2000$)
                       - Falling = 20% of your balance. (Minimum 200$ and Maximum 5000$)
                       
                   If you do not have the minimum amount of money your items will automatically drop on the floor (this may mean your stuff could be stolen or destroyed)!
                 
02. PvP will make you drop 50% of your items (not including armor or tools), and you will lose 5% of your balance (up to a maximum of 1000$).

03. If you disconnect after getting killed from PvP, you have 300 seconds to come online and grab your items or they will be dropped on the floor and you may lose them!

04. To prevent unfair PvP, /back is now removed from Members. Senior Members + will still have access to /back but if they abuse it for unfair PvP, it will be taken out.

Note: Flying during pvp will be taken seriously and can result on losing your ability to fly.

With best regards,
     -- Sentinel Craft Staff.

Great! Making Sentinel Craft more of a challenge is just what it needed!
(I guess I should go make some armor. Having a cmd block on my head wont help in any situation lol)

[Yeoldedogg]

So...If I die my stuff gets dropped on the ground in the world?  Or do I pay money to keep my items from dropping?

[Migas]

If you die from any cause, you get a penalty, which is 5% / 10% / 20% of your balance. (depending on the cause and between those 2 values listed on the start post). If you do not have any money, they will drop on the floor.

Adding to this, on PvP, you will drop half of your items even if you have enough money. You will still have that economic penalty but you will only recover half of your items.

[Meteora]

Yes but what happens if I don't have enough funds and I die from PvP?

[Migas]

You will drop everything and consequently may lose them.

[Fedgar_Lurch]

If you don't have enough funds and you die at all, except under certain circumstances, everything you had in your inventory will be dropped on the ground where you died. In some circumstances that is not a big deal, but if:

 - Other Players are about and pick up your stuff, they are not required to return it.
 - A creeper explodes near your items, then they are gone for good.
 - The items fall into the void. Poof gone.
 - Your items are consumed by lava or fire. Then the items are gone.

Therefore, I suggest you keep some kind of minimum balance on you at all times. You will not be refunded for your items if you lose them.

Lets say I get surprised attacked and die from un-wanted PVP. Half my items drop like they are supposed to, but the person who kills me doesnt give me my items back or even, destroyes the items (disposal sign, lava, etc.), will my items be refunded?

[Migas]

No. The person who wins the items can do whatever they want with them.

[gaintsftw]

Even if the PVP is unwanted?

[Migas]

Even if the PVP is unwanted?

You will only ask for refunds if the player(s) that kills you is(are) doing Unfair PvP.

If you do not find any staff when that happens, you can use "Report Trouble" board on forums so we can discuss it!

"Unwanted" PvP / Surprise attacks are allowed on our server, so it's fair for the attackers to win the loot.

[gaintsftw]

Ok, sorry for the repeated questions. I was a little confused. Thanks for the clarification!

[Fedgar_Lurch]

If you don't want people to attack you, You should keep hidden/ secure. They cannot kill you if they cannot find you =]

[K_Y_L_E_H_E_R_E]

Juussttt wondering.... Would doing /afk as a reflex in a surprise attack count as illegal, in terms of rules? Or... Will you guys change the /afk=no damage thing...?

[Richgotya]

that would be command evading just because u dont want pvp tough titties stay in a house and hide (griefing to enter is against the rules) even if u "place back" u can disable your self on dynmap to hide easyer u can be in a town that has it disabled

you people all complained and whined it was too easy and wanted pvpness you got it
