[TMD] Suggestion - Shelters

[DeathlyIntimate]

Hi,
I used to play on this other server (not going to advertise it here) where they had this thing called Shelters. Basically, there are certain structures, such as some RV's, tents, shacks, caves, etc. that could be rented out to players as a form of housing and storage, hence the name of Shelters.
The other server I used to play on (HavocMC is much, much better so I no longer play there ) would have a sign outside of each Shelter that would display a time length that the shelter could be rented for at a given price, and, if rented out, the owner and when their rent would end.
These shelters could just have a few extra chests in them or something and could be free from zombies and other players, sort of like a personal Safezone.
Perhaps we could also add team members and friends so they have access to the chests and shelter. Maybe we could teleport there?
I don't really know if this would work, but there could be many neat options that would be a result of having Shelters on TMD.

Anyways, looking forward to responses and hope to see you all later!

(Psst, staffers... this could be a neat idea for donors! Maybe only allow the use of Shelters for certain donor ranks It could probably get me to donate!)

Shelters? You mean "Camper Heaven"... Its a good idea though for possibly another server. I think it would be nice to let teams rent an area similar to towny/factions.

Seem's Cool =)

Not a bad idea, although it might be a little op to have your own "Safezone", as issues would arise in PvP servers. One such issue may be getting damaged near a so called Safezone, entering and grabbing some pains/other equipment without being killed because of the no PvP area, and coming back out again to fight completely healed and loaded with weapons and ammo.

Doesn't really fit the theme of this server. It is a cool idea but I wouldn't like to see it become a thing.

What about a combat timer? Or just allow pvp in there and simply have it for storage or something.

Then people would camp your "shelter"

This is a horrible idea. Why tf would you pay for shelter that is clearly not used by anyone, in the middle of a zombie apocalypse...

Instead of "renting", maybe declaring your Shelter with a banner? I know another server incorporated something like that in their apocalypse survival.

Mm bases would be cool but I am not a dev so :

Ik what server your talking about and this server doesn't fit that theme. It would also seem like copying the server.

 

[saintsebastian]

i think i know what server your talking about....anyway, this would be a bit OP but not a bad idea.

 

[DDENGAR]

Nah

Good point.

Apologies; this was simply an idea that I thought might work. However, this evidently doesn't fit in on this server. I was only attempting to think of a way to create more of a ... 'goal' to reach for. While MineZ is a lot of fun, most players will eventually die or reach a point where they have all of the top-tier items. I'm not saying it's not fun after either of those prevents the gamemode from being exciting, simply that there isn't an overall goal you're trying to reach. I thought that Shelters might be a way to create this 'goal,' but apparently it's not in favor by the community.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

This is a nice idea, it just needs some tweaking, maybe theese "shelters" should be SUPER rare and free, so if you find one you can instantly claim it. And by rare I mean like 20 on the map. It would make a genuine "goal" and it would force people to leave the Berx-CDC area.

Yeah idk about renting but having bases which maybe have special loot which you can control would definitely be fun
