Our Mining Dead Plans

[_Nickk]

Hello everyone. I'm making this post to let everybody know that we are now hard at work on bringing TMD back to its best days. It may take around a month, but the end result will be worth it. Changes are as follows.

Reorganized Map
The builders are making a reorganized map that is 6,000 x 6,000 blocks, similar to the old one. This should cut down travel times and allow us to have more zombies and players, so there will be more action. The map will use mostly the same builds as the old map.

Atlanta - The builders will be making a lot of changes to Atlanta. Firstly, it will be a lot smaller. Although awesome, the current Atlanta lacks a center of attention and conflict. We will also be removing a lot of the massive skyscrapers and scaling them down so they are similar to the previous map.

Old Locations - We are also adding back some revamped classic locations. For example, Hartsfield will be back.

We think this new map should allow us to have all the fun gameplay elements of the old map, while keeping the cool builds from the new one.

1.8 Support
Minecraft 1.9 is inherently laggy. Both the server and client run a lot worse than 1.8 did. As a result, we are switching our server version to 1.8. Don't worry, you will still be able to connect with 1.9-1.11. Switching to 1.8 will allow the following changes:

More Players and Zombies
We should be able to reach 150 players on a server, and perhaps we could have some massive Hell Nights. More on this later.

While making these changes we will scale down to four servers, two for PVP and two for PVE. We are still deciding on whether we are having an OP server separate, or having it as one of the PVP servers.

Also, if it wasn't clear earlier, no reset would occur.


What is everybody's opinion on this?

*Update: No melees would need to be removed.*

Also, congratz to Peach on Sr Mod.​

Some Questions:
- Will this new map require another reset of vaults/items?
- Will stats be reset?
- What effect will this have on safezones (I.E---> Will some be changed or removed?)
- What will be specifically changed as a result of adding 1.8 support?

Thanks,

Weapon camos and a few melee weapons will have be removed if 1.8 was added.

Will there be overrun safezones?

There will not be reset for items, stats, or anything else. All players will be teleported to a new spawn when we get the new map. As for safezones, it depends on the builders' choices, but I know for a fact Berxley will still be there.

The specifics of 1.8:
- Camos removed
- No dual wielding
- 5-15 melees removed
- We will have only 1 or 2 texture packs as opposed to 3.
- Players will need to be in 1.9+ for a visual effect of zooming down sights
- New Item: Bandage
- When bit, players will bleed and will need a bandage
- Supply drops added to TMD?
- 4 or 5 servers as opposed to 8
- Probably more I can't think of

Will there be overrun safezones?

Probably

More Questions:
- Will there be changes in the current resource pack's textures? (Basic Pack)
- Any effect on teams?
- Is TMD's "Spawn" still being redone?

Will Fort Garrison be overrun? Because that's something I've wanted to see since the new map was released.

Not sure yet. At the very least a bandage texture will be added.

Low chance

Is it possible for TMD to become 1 game and get rid of op mode and make it TMD 1?

 

[Jirache]

I was extremely excited about the new map, and since you asked us how we felt, I would just like to say, "ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME RIGHT NOW??? ;-; XJFOEJOGW" Just kidding. But, I am mostly sad because I did like the huge Atlanta, and the bigger community areas.
Questions:

Will the strip club still be around? ;-;
What melees will be removed?

 

[Rejante]

Here's some questions that don't really matter.
Will there be an aircraft carrier?
How big will Hartsfield be, and is it an airbase, or airport like real life?
Thanks,

If camos are removed, what will people that bought them get in return?

Skulls???

 

[Incineration]

Sounds great, can't it till it's out!

Low chance

What does this update mean for kit items? And for the people who have inventory items they want to store, will there still be an extra temporary server solely for storing items during the map change? And for the aiming, does this mean 1.8 users are stuck with bad accuracy? (because they cant aim) and will 1.9+ users still be stuck with that dumb hit recharge?

So are you reseting all servers and setting it to four or just Deleting every other server except for 1,2,3,4?
And if possible can you tell me all the old buildings that are coming back?

Mah dude,We need a PVP mode and a PVE mode.We dont want 50 players at berx waiting for someone to jump off and run their butts off trying to dodge all those barrets.

strip club will stay

4 or 5 servers as opposed to 8

What about vaults and inventories on the servers being removed? Will those items be transfered to another server or will those items be completely removed?

Hartsfield will be back.

The whole thread could have simply been this sentence and I would still be in love with it. <3 Hartsfield <3
So excited for this update! Keep up the great work.
