Planning For The Future - New gamemode and meaningful updates!

[JT900]

Let me start off by saying, I hope everyone is having a good morning/afternoon/night.

HavocMC is built on ideas, it's what gives the devs and staff something to work towards and the updates help grow the community.
Right now, this server is currently known as TMD to many. The other modes are minor and some have even reached the graveyard already (r.i.p. MW, HH and HN). But we need to lay the groundwork needed to improve the server in future updates. Someday in the future, The Walking Dead will end, all of its hype will go down the drain with it, and the fandom won't be there as much anymore. It's the natural cycle of fandoms and the like.
So preparing for a new gamemode will help this when such a situation happens.
And no, I'm not saying this will happen very soon. Who knows, it may get another couple seasons. Or this current season may be the last. We don't know yet.
But I digress. What do you consider to be a popular fandom that will bring in new players and make everyone happy? Feel free to mention them in the comments.

The meaningful updates is also an important subject to touch up on. Staff time and time again have mentioned that updates can't please everyone. Players have even left because some updates didn't go the way they wanted. I did the same at one point simply because the owners never listened to any suggestions given.
We need updates that actually feel new. Not the same old stuff we've been given. Tweaks and small hotfixes are not updates. They're called what they're called for a reason. So we need something that will make the community go "Wow, this stuff is cool and new. Thanks for making the server more interesting now, staff/devs!"
And there's so much that can be done. The suggestions parts of the forums are chock full of what the community wants. It just actually needs to be looked into and have approval for them to be worked on. That's what has been lacking here at the moment.

Don't think this is a complaint against the staff team, lack of progress, or anything of the sort. I'd just enjoy seeing new stuff finally come to this fun server. It's been too long since we've actually had something meaningful come to this server and I hate that, and I'll help however I can if need be.

Thanks for reading.

GTA should get a gamemode.

go to a GTA server where they have the time and resources to cater to that kind of gamemode.

I haven't really been around in the Havoc community anymore, but from a player stand point who has played for 3 years: Everything has it's ups and downs, and everything also eventually dies off. HavocMC reached it's prime time awhile ago (1,000 daily players). Over the next major updates the playerbase has died dramatically. Players seem to blame this on the Owners not listening to players and that's partially correct; however, Minecraft as a whole is dying off. Other servers have died down in players too such as Mineplex. As of a stand point now I feel that Havoc really doesn't have much of a future even if they did plan something big. Every update they do the playerbase goes to 120-200 then days following drops to 80.

GTA should get a gamemode.

GTA servers are quite popular and HavocMC wouldn't gain any players. TMD part of Havoc is unique and their map is probably one of the best/most adventure multiplayer maps. Along with their gameplay style.

Havoc has shown that they are capable of making good games. If they took TMD mechanics and made a GTA server with them it would already be a better experience then other GTA servers. Havoc will go down in players regardless, TWD is dying and will probably never be popular again. GTA would be a great community to jump on. It’s one of the few mainstream games right now that could actually cause the server to gain players. I think there are other ideas too, but GTA is easily the best option.

I mean, this server does have the necessary gun plugins, NPCs/enemy mobs can be easily made, and textures shouldn't be hard to set up. Hell, making a city shouldn't be hard to build either considering the staff team doesn't have much to work on now.

I support this idea.

This post is a joke, “planning for the future”..? “Asking Owners to read Ideas and Suggestion thread” should be name of this post. You’re asking for peoples ideas and didn’t suggest anything.

Let me do you one better:

You're posts are a joke. All you're doing is being rude and spiteful for no reason. Get out, nerd.

I only meant good intentions with this thread.

Although GTA is a popular game style cat is right about there being multiple servers that exist that already have this type of gamemode. We wouldn't benefit that much if we made a game mode like this which we did have plans for long ago but it was for a Breaking Bad gamemode that would of fit the server best. Sadly after post and polls players shot down the "Mining Bad" movement and we may one day again start the gamemode creation but for now we feel its best to keep our focus on the game modes we do have and gets those fixed and up to par before we start venturing off into the other game modes we would like to do like mining bad or throne legacy (game of thrones gamemode).

Like I said we have a book full of things we want to do with this server but for one idea we bring across the table 100 obstacles stand in the way and for our ideas to actually benefit the server we have to go through and eliminate every obstacle we come across for the game to run smooth or the gamemode will end up like where we are now with tmd which is wasting time that shouldn't be wasted playing tug of war with players by adding and removing and adding what they ask for then doing it again multiple times even though its what they ask for but apparently it wasn't but it actually was but they don't care because they don't know what they want by now so we remove and buff then get yelled at and add and buff then get yelled at then remove and buff and get yelled at some more then add and buff..........

Minewars we are still looking at hope that it will make its return one day, we did not remove it just to be evil, it was eating away at the servers resources and becoming a constant need for patch work and in its later days it just started breaking down. Horizons I don't know what the plans are for it/ Hell Night we have ideas for it such as a multiple map system players can vote on while waiting for a tournament to start.

I got a crazy idea!!! What if the owners made Dev applications so we could try to find more devs... more updates and faster

You are correct, and I think I may be able to give an option.

well we currently have 6 active developers, and whenever we need a new developer we always send out a hire post on spigot
