    Nya! Hey!

    I finished reading up on the changelog and I have to say I'm pretty happy with what's going on right now! Skyblock is staying almost the same, except for a few changes like the upgrade points, custom enchants, and tokens. What I see happening right now is that instead of changing the game up completely, the new season is giving us more options to do to earn tokens and money. A lot of the patch notes are fixes on bugs and whatnot. It really looks like work is going into the small things about skyblock and it shows the care going into this subserver.

    Byebyenya! Have a good one!

    First, that wasn't very polite or respectful. I'm pretty sure there have been changes to reduce the pay to win aspect of the game. Obviously paying is an option that people choose. You really shouldn't be posting on a server forum that you don't like. Join another server if you don't like this server. Most servers have a paying aspect. So basically what I heard from you is that you continue to play on the server, and post on the FORUM, despite hating this server? Doesn't really make sense. I'm just respecting the fact that the people who work on this server actually work on this server.

    I'm getting excited for the reset! Hype!

    the only problem I have is that some blocks will be removed from /shop as a result of the generators. I think you should be able to buy them if you don't want to mine them all. Seems too tedious to get blocks that will be used mainly for decoration.

    I like most of the stuff in the change log except for a few, including there isn't any chunk loaders, the blocks being removed from /shop, and not being able to craft hoppers,

    i don't really see a point in the blocks being removed from /shop cause they didn't really do much except if someone wanted to make their island look good, you've basically made it that you need to spend Sooooo much more time grinding out a few worthless building blocks.

    i honestly think the chunk loaders were needed a fair bit, for people who cant afk they would have been a huge help, paying people to afk for you doesn't really work all the time, they usually leave mid afk or just cant find anyone to.

    not being able to craft hoppers is going to make it so much more annoying to get your spawners setup, especially now we need to pay for hoppers, spawner limit and hopper limit.'

    the rest of the change log i think is pretty good.

    That person who you replied to saying "oh come on, quit being such a kissass, its terrible! this server is completely pay to win! what ever happened to skyblock actually requiring some skill?" does kinda have a point. if you don't have a rank you can't mine spawner, fly, have kits, it's honestly such a huge disadvantage, even to the point you cant misplace a spawner.

    booo block generators booo
    we're hypixel now

    boo more farming manually boo
    isn't econ growth and math the point of skb? Could we not have just fixed the upgrade prices to start out brutal and not increase, making not having an alt island less of a "disadvantage"

    Also why do we have to buy hopper if we have to farm for the upgrade points? Why can't we just craft them? I look forward to explaining this to every new player

    boo mob tokens boo easier tokens. Why not just...throw away what made tokens work so well- yah know, the out of control inflation.

    - Brand new plugin in place which handles the generators (this fixes bugs such as pickaxes not taking any damage)
    oh great now I'm gonna have to actually pay more attention when I use my alts to mine for the blocks I cant buy now cause it's all about mining now...yah know why not just make it prison like hypixel's skyblock sure. More bedrock rank upgrade for mcc i guess

    - We have now implemented a /HeadShop which allows players to purchase custom decorative heads using tokens
    boo that's what decap is for boo

    - New island upgrade has been implemented 'Token Buff' allowing players to receive more tokens whilst on their island
    why....why

    rest of it is either good or ok, or some of it, like the island descriptions, I have no idea how theyll be until I see what it actually is since there's no description of how it works.

    Which is where player ran shops come into action. Having all the blocks for sale in the /shop removes a big aspect of Minecraft, and makes all player ran shops pointless. I am sure there will be lots of island shops for those who are not wanting to use the generators!

    At one point in the season I offered tripple what everyone else was selling or buying cobble for. Barely got any.
    The only way I was able to get enough cobble was to use auto chat ads, which...barely. Eventually someone would come along.

    It's hard to say if it's a bad thing until we see the generators and what blocks were taken away.
    hopefully not value blocks.

    actually overall on a lot of these I cant really judge much until we get to see it. But I dont like the sentiment of trying to prevent "buying your way to the top". Isn't that the point of the gamemode?

    Everything seems cool, except I wish tokens & coin flip were being removed.

    I definitely like the new things added, though I'm a little disappointed that Skyblock isn't getting a 1.12 update. It would be nice if we could take items from our shop chests with hoppers too, but we don't know for sure yet if that will be possible. Overall, feeling pretty hype!

    I think this season of SB will be very well balanced from what I read in the log. I will be very curious as to how the spawner aspect of it works now, and with the lesser drop rate of some mobs, I'm curious as to what will be the META of this season.

    I did like the fact that there will be an island upgrade that can help get more tokens from doing things on your island, which will reduce the AFK aspect of it a lot. Plus making island upgrade points does just that as well, you actually need to do things on the island in order to upgrade it, not just log on and AFK.

    I would like to see the skyblock go back to the old ways of Huge Farms, not so much automation of profit shops and AFK spawners. That just takes the fun out of it. I know it'll be more grindy, but that's what will make you Island #1 rather than Island #192.

    Super Hype for this season!

    My issue with he change log is tokens coming from mobs. i feel like this is going to be very op. Also I am against the higher level books for fortune and looting. Especially fortune. Reason is you can buy ore from the shop and brake it for blocks on your island. This will make the eco more op.

    Hold Up! "Only players that place spawners are able to mine them. Island leaders can break any spawner....." But what if a rookie needs a spawner removed to be picked up that they placed? Was this intentional?

    I don't play skyblock to terribly much, but I do like that the tokens were added. They add so much more to the game, and an extra thing to go for.

    yeah but 90% of the player shops were islands that had the 15% shop discount perk, thus selling them between perk price and original price. Plus, not even those guys had the inventory to sell me 50 double chest of dirt at a moments notice. I highly doubt that players will take the time to go to the (crowded) generators just to sell blocks at their shop, especially with the plugin change, which means tools will take damage. I don't see any practical way for me to buy basic building blocks in bulk, as I tend to go through a double chest of dirt in 20 minutes or less when I'm building mountains or terrain. I like the idea of the generators, but I think the blocks should also be available in the shop, maybe for a higher relative price than in the past. Of course I would need to actually play and see what blocks were removed and use the new features before I make a final judgement, but from what I'm hearing so far, i'm not even sure I'll have the time or patience to mine all of the blocks just to make my island look nice. Please consider keeping naturally generating vanilla blocks available in /shop.
    Thanks:)
