@SharpSerac it's not much of an issue because it doesn't affect him, he's not a pvper
According to whom?
Are you the authority on defining who is a pvper?
Anyway, your suggestions affect the server as a whole, therefore, anyones opinion is valid.
@SharpSerac instant teleports are cheaty, if you're falling into the void you can instantly teleport and not die, adding a delay would change this to make it more fair and less cheaty.
I don't find them cheaty in any way and I don't think people would be here if they found them very objectionable. I see no issue.
@SharpSerac combat tag has no real repercussions, everyone forgets that you're a logger and moves on. there should be consequences, it is called a "pvp arena" not a "log arena"
I don't think people forget, they just don't care because it's not a PVP server and adding something that would make it harder for them just to counter this isn't something people would want I think.
@SharpSerac as stated before, it's a serverwide delay on teleports. every server has delays to prevent abusing the teleportation system, why would you want people to be able to abuse this system?
I don't see it as abuse, and no every server does not have a delay on teleports. It's an option in bukkit configs the default of which is off. I think people see it as a perfectly valid system and I certainly don't see how adding a delay would benefit anyone but a minority while annoying everyone else.
@SharpSerac as stated before, combat tag does absolutely nothing. it was something to try to keep us pvpers from complaining but it wasn't implemented properly. the arena would essentially be the exact same without the combat tag. the chances of being disconnected mid fight are miniscule. here's a tip: if you have a shit connection, don't go in the pvp arena. it's that simple.
It only does nothing because no one cares if anyone logs, it's not an issue on the majority of players radars. I don't see how it wasn't implemented properly either, it was implemented exactly as Crafty wanted.
Just because you don't experience regular timeouts, doesn't mean other users mainly in other countries don't.
Okay, so you are saying the Arena should only be for those with good connections?
@SharpSerac the server where pvp, raiding, and griefing are all enabled and people think the one place where pvpers have in the server should be keep inventory? why not just add plots where people can't grief or raid? i'm sure people would love that, or does it take away from the "pvp raiding and griefing" on the server?
Once again, this isn't a pvp or raid server it just happens to have it enabled, mainly due to the fact having a vanilla server otherwise is next to impossible.
PVPers have the whole outside world, some people think there should be a spot where they can fight without worrying about being outgeared or losing all their items which is fair enough, it's just as valid as your own uses.
