Hey! I am very new to this server having joined just yesterday. To be fair I didn't expect much going into this but already upon joining I was absolutely amazed by the quality of the city of Orth recreation. This first impression set the bar really high and I can't express how excited it made me for the adventure ahead, its something i haven't felt for.. probably years. Seeing the different custom items in the trading menus of NPCs at spawn made my imagination go wild and I couldn't wait to explore the abyss myself especially having learned there is a custom climbing system!... And then I looked down to see the custom environment looking like the 2b2t hellscape with big ugly player made platforms along with among us crewmate statues. Not to mention countless player made staircases making the journey to the bottom feel... trivial.. All of the built up adventure vibe was gone and throughout my journey to the forest of temptation I wished the landscape would be untouched by players basically the entire time.

My suggestion is to make a version of the server where all players are put in adventure mode instead of survival. The climbing mechanics are great and I'd love to have to use them all the time. I can see how not being able to place and destroy blocks could make the journey harder but that's the point! Perhaps extend the stamina bar or make the players not lose stamina when they just hang from a wall not moving in any direction. Adding some custom climbing equipment would also help like maybe short distance grappling hooks, ropes to hang down from or climbing picks to traverse the cave ceilings etc.

The potential this server has is incredible but because of the survival world player made stuff the only thing i feel is disappointment. Just thinking of what it could have been with little changes makes me sad.

I really hope something like this could be arranged especially since running an adventure mode server would bring many more benefits to the project.

Adventure mode is on hold

Having a server just in adventure mode has no point, what's the goal? If it's just to explore the map you can do that on the build server. We also don't exactly have the server resources to run another server just for the sake of it.

We had plans for an 'adventure' server which was more of an RPG experience - where the world would self-reset so you wouldn't have the '2b2t landscape' and you would have a more challenging experience trying to go down. With quests, progression, dungeons, etc etc. (Even custom climbing equipment was planned lmao)

This idea basically got put on hold and isn't probably what we will work on as we simply do not have the Dev team to produce this vision, we are incredibly short-handed.

So instead we are working on bringing our ideas from that game vision into our current server to improve the experience.
(This includes potentially having a self-resetting 1st layer so that it looks better for new players as it's the worst off with the '2b2t look')

I see, thats understandable. So its something you would like to do if you had the resources for it.

#

What developers are you most short handed on? is it the coders
