MCSGv2 - First Impressions

[MJM239]

*edited post after hearing good news*

I like everything in MCSGv2 except the sponsors.

I want to stress here - MCSGv2 is in "beta" stages, thus why it's been released only on three servers in US. (Not sure about other regions.) Nothing is final. There are bound to be bugs - NCP bugging out is one of them. We never got rid of NCP, (unless I'm completely mistaken.) we simply adjusted/fixed it - all this adjusting needs to be done again in the new plugin (which shouldn't take as long as before since the fix is still present.) - be patient. People wanted it immediately, and they got where it currently laid, in it's slightly buggy, non-complete stages. Understand that bugs like NCP and features like sponsoring are incomplete. Feedback is nice, but calling it out as the "worst thing to happen to MCSG" or anything of the sort is unnecessary for something that's not yet done. These incomplete features are placeholders until it's finished. MCSGv2 was released early for you guys to test and see what it's all about, it's not finished yet.


Side note: All information in this post (us1-3 being MCSGv2 now, etc...) is what I've heard over the forums today in numerous places. Some information is subject to be false. Regardless, the main point is still valid.

So, what is the new voting system like?

So, what is the new voting system like?

Essentially, you'll never have Breeze Island and SG4 every map.

So, what is the new voting system like?

The last two maps voted on the server will not appear in the voting the next game. Essentially, this means that if SG4 was played one match, Breeze was the next, then people would be forced to pick a new one this time. When this new one is picked, SG4 will appear in the voting again next round, and the last map played won't show up for two more games, just like Breeze and SG4. This means at least one in three matchs will have to be something else.

Not a whole lot better, but certainly an improvement. Better than 95% Breeze and SG4. xD

I wanted to try out sponsoring, so I went on EU1 and gave a random steve skin guy in full leather a potion of invisibility. I didn't watch but my friends told me he drank it while still wearing his armor and was crushed into a fine pulp.

Yes but my main point about sponsoring is valid as well.

That sucks. Make sure to clean your pants so you don't stink up the servers later.

haha, no one will want to come near me with my loaded leather pants :S

Oh, and you all seem to forget...This is only the beginning of MCSGv2 (well, CA and the network donations were, technically...)

Chad has announced numerous other things that have yet to be seen, like:
New leaderboards! Including daily, weekly, monthly, and overall/yearly stat tracking!
MCSG Pro! Little information on it yet, seems to be tournaments of sorts!
New staff panel/ban dispute process/etc!
48 player servers!
Achievements!
And who knows what else.

Read through threads like these for a refresher:

Provided Chad and the developers pull through and get all this stuff done...what we've seen isn't it yet. The new plugin may be a seemingly minor change, but there's lots more in store still.

Don't pressure Chad to get this stuff out right away though. Who knows what state these ideas are in right now.
