Double Xp For Vip Feedback!

Discussion in 'Wynncraft' started by Salted, Dec 4, 2015.

?

What should we do?

  1. Bring back double XP for VIPs

  2. Bring back double XP for VIPs but reduce the XP bonus

  3. Make it so VIPs receive a pet allowing them to share the double XP with players nearby

  4. Don't bring back double XP

    I believe the sheep would be the best idea, but you'd have to increase the distance. I mean, 50 blocks? Nearly anyone can travel that in a matter of seconds.

    If you look up further, Salted said that they would try and fix riding the sheep, and ONLY the sheep.

    Salted,
    the person with just over 1k posts and over 9k likes.

    No but seriously, I think they should add it back after the Gavel update.

    For double XP, Golden Sheep seems like the best and safest option for double xp sharing, but it could backfire if not done right.

    I need a better idea on how it would work to ensure that:

    People would consider buying a donor rank instead of just leaching the perks from a current donor. (Perhaps give the owner a flat 2x multiplier and the rest a lower multiplier depending on the amount of people.... or make the sheep emerald powered by feeding it emeralds. (I'm not sure about that idea, since people have a lot of emeralds these days and might not fix anything.
    ))


    Would this also give 2x XP for quests too? Also, it would be nice to have a ride toggle for pets in general.

    As for attacking pets... I could see issues with them picking up items like potions, boats, tossed items that get added back to your inventory right away, item bombs, enemy item entities, placeholders such as arrows from relics, etc. As for attacking... idk.

    (For those of you who know me, this is really hypocritical of me to say this I know)

    I strongly disagree with the sheep idea.
    Why?
    Simple; non-VIPs didn't pay for double xp, why should they get it?
    With the sheep idea, people would tend to swarm VIPs; reducing their total XP gain. Why should VIPs pay to have people invade their grinding spots?

    This change would be so hype lol. I think sharing XP with others through a pet would also be a great way to create a little more community. I'm a VIP and I'd rather share with people than keep it for myself. Awesome idea!

    I agree, we already have a ton of vips so what would this do to get more?
    I mean really, if anything people will not want to get vip if they get the perks already
    for free??? @Solaire
    Also what happens when we do get shut down because of this, I mean i'd rather just not
    take the chance and vote no for the whole thing.@Salted

    I really like the pet idea, but 50 blocks is a little much... I say it is around 25-30

    That's why we made it a pet, so you can despawn it if that were to happen.

    Yeah, but then nobody gets the benefit.
    Why pay for it, when whenever you use it you lose out on total EXP gain?


    Exactly my point; if there were sheeps, VIPs would lose out on total XP gain.


    It's even in the math!

    Let's say there are 100 mobs in a cave, and each of them give 100 XP.
    In scenario 1, VIP gets double xp alone.
    They kill all 100 mobs, netting 20,000 XP due to double XP.

    In scenario 2, VIP has a sheep. Let's just say 1 non-vip comes in, and they split the mobs evenly.
    VIP kills 50, getting 10,000 XP, half the XP they would get if they were to farm alone.
    Non-VIP kills 50, getting 10,000 XP as well; HOWEVER, they get TWICE the XP they would normally achieve if they were to farm the cave alone.
    Granted, however, this is a 50/50 split; if the VIP were to get more farm, they would still end up getting less than if they were to farm alone, however, making the idea of a sheep kind of unappealing.
    This is also with only ONE non-vip. Imagine multiple.

    In scenario 2, only the Non-VIP benefits from this.

    Given that, why would anybody want to use the sheep?

    the sheep just seems like a beacon saying "Want to steal my xp, then come on over here!"

    The only problem is, is that the majority has already chosen sheep
    and we can't really do anything about it except raise awareness.
    Also, in all honesty do we really want Wynncraft to become a pay
    to win server?

    You still get the point though, the idiots
    that want double xp will vote for it every
    single time without thinking.

    I think x2 XP shouldn't be added because then VIPs will be the first ones to endgame content and it would be unfair. I like the challenge of having to go against the whole server to race to the endgame. However the idea of pets picking up items sounds neat, and I personally think that it is worth getting a pet just for that. Maybe a toggle for the pet to pick up items would also help. The idea of a pet giving regional exp is ok too, but it will cause people to swarm an area and then it will be like getting regular xp at the rate that everyone kills mobs.

    There is no poll, so how can you vote, once again this is feedback so they can get a scene of what the players want.
