Vip doors and doors

Example: i have been spending my last 2 weeks on the server building cornerstone State prison
and on a vip plot now becouse of the door switches and more changes its just a crappy prison now becouse anyone can open it and it just lookes terrible if i place blocks to lock it.

RE: Vip doors and doors
I think that they were a stupid idea in the first place.

RE: Vip doors and doors
I think VIP doors and VIP block protection both makes no sense. Everyone should be able to open doors and everyone in a particular town should be able to destroy blocks in that town. Block protection is an anti-grief feature not a "this block of dirt = unbreakable safe" feature. Switch protection was bad and I'm very glad to see it gone. What we have is still suboptimal (for example the cornerstone vault's convoluded build permission scheme) but bringing switch protection back is definitely a bad idea.

If you designed a good prison then it wouldn't need magic towny-powers to keep the building secure. Learn some redstone circuitry and make locking doors it's not that difficult to put together a sime pass-code. I agree that it looks terrible if you block people in with random dirt-blocks block protection shouldn't be manipulated to trap people in the first place. Towny destroys alot of potentially enjoyable aspects of RP on the server by fiating the impossible. If people clearly aren't about to grief a town then we should have some kind of system where they get build rights to every town (for example RobertF isn't about to grief so why should he have to deal with block-protection?) Perhaps we could add another perk for sponsors where they can have build rights in every town? Someone who gives $30 (or really even $10) to the server isn't about to grief a whole town and risk getting banned as a result.

RE: Vip doors and doors
Yea, prohibit the placing of blocks to protect your stuff. Or yes, deactivate the grief protection of the towns so everyone
can stealing from everyone. Thats real good RP!



No, just kidding. That will SUX!
Why anyone should buy a plot, or join a Town if you cant protect your stuff? Just for Creeper and TNT protect?
Try it out and and will play alone in a couple of weeks.

RE: Vip doors and doors
You shouldn't have to rely on protection to keep your stuff safe!
Try hiding it! Alot of the time people won't be able to find it and if they do alot of the time they are X-rayers and will get banned.

RE: Vip doors and doors
On this topic, recently our guild was again raided and we were robed of about 20blocks of diamond some gold-blocks some iron and some sulfur. I know exactly who raided us and am fairly certain where they put it but the places where they put it are in accessible due to towny and or shop protections. This is ridiculous, if they get magic god-powers to protect their stuff they why don't we?

My understanding is that block protection is for the purpose of preventing people from leveling a whole town, not for providing unbreakable safes made of dirt. There needs to be some kind of way for thieves to remove blocks if they are not griefing. Perhaps as I recommended above making it a donation thing, perhaps allowing a limited number of blocks to be removed in a single day (no griefer is going to cause much damage only being able to remove say 20 blocks over the course of a day). Something needs to change however, and preferably sooner rather than later.

I am 100% fine with people being able to steal from the guild. What I am not fine with is that it is actually impossible for us to steal it back. For example there are shops that I have encountered INSIDE THE WALLS of Nosaka, yes that is right, we are just tunneling into nosaka and we come across a shop selling diamonds for 9 gold and the shop is hidden inside the walls. This is ridiculous. There needs to be a way for us to steal things back or some kind of limit on the degree of protection towny provides. In real life there is no magic spell you can say so that an "outsider" cannot break a window and get into your house, this protection doesn't exist in vanilla minecraft it's only there when game-crippling plugins like towny are enabled that change the way minecraft is meant to be played and they change it for the worse. The main reason I joined this server is because thieving was supposed to be allowed. Apparently that is not the case? Perhaps we should clarify somewhere that "Thieving is allowed but it is also impossible."
