• Inventory Split Incoming

    MassiveCraft will be implementing an inventory split across game modes to improve fairness, balance, and player experience. Each game mode (Roleplay and Survival) will have its own dedicated inventory going forward. To help players prepare, we’ve opened a special storage system to safeguard important items during the transition. For full details, read the announcement here: Game Mode Inventory Split blog post.

    Your current inventories, backpacks, and ender chest are in the shared Medieval inventory. When the new Roleplay inventory is created and assigned to the roleplay world(s) you will lose access to your currently stored items.

    Important Dates

    • April 1: Trunk storage opens.
    • May 25: Final day to submit items for storage.
    • June 1: Inventories are officially split.

    Please make sure to submit any items you wish to preserve in the trunk storage or one of the roleplay worlds before the deadline. After the split, inventories will no longer carry over between game modes.

Please consider taking 5 minutes to read and respond to this poll. The current Sihai race design has hit a bit of a wall, and we need some community input to move ahead with some decisions that have not yet been resolved internally. Please keep in mind that the statements on the poll will not necessarily reflect what is going to be implemented, and that no great hopes should be established on what he poll indicates. Results may very well not be posted and simply taken for granted, to allow quick resumption of the lore construction.

RED PANDA CHI
 
I relate to the Middle Chi. Fat and happy. I love the design outlines so far! Can't wait to see the finished product
 
I would severely discourage any visual design of a small cutsie fuzzy ewok animal, as I feel like it would just transition into another kleinfolk-case where most of the characters exist to be solely one of three things.
Uwu, annoying, or industrial scale cookie distributors.
 
@MonMarty, I have a question. For the second to last question on the poll about the new Dimensions and Special Abilities, when the question referred to Special Abilities, did it mean a racial ability, or magic schools?
 
We have 115 replies already and some notable conclusions:

  • Red panda has crushed all other designs for Middle Dynasty by 45%.
  • Middle Dynasty seems to be suitably playable at 75% (17% overhead) so it stays.
  • Lovar Dynasty seems to be suitably playable at 80% (14% overhead) so it stays.
  • Wild Dynasty has a relatively low playability, less than 50% in fact. These are changing.
  • There is a lot of support for Sihai based dimensional abilities, but there's a number of complications and there is still a sizeable group of people who disagree with the suggestion. Normally in a democratic system the majority would win, but in relation to so many people having a problem with it, we will most likely choose not to implement it.
  • A call for the return of the Thylan is almost 75% with a suitable playability at 30% overhead, nearly crushing both Middle and Lovar Dynasties in player commitment. As such, the Thylan-like will replace the Wild Dynasty, and we are retiring Monkey people altogether.

Even if you don't add more dimensions, it would be interesting to have races that conceptualize the Void and Exist differently.
