Prison Keys: New Item?

New loot item for prison keys!
Hello! Today i would like to discuss an idea i have for the ancient and mythical keys on prison. Many prison players are familiar with the struggle of mining out a plot, i propose the addition of a item that would clear plots for you! This thread will basically be my thoughts on how an item like this would work, what it would look like and possible draw backs involved with the idea!

Part 1: Naming the item.
The first issue i have come across is trying to name the item, for the remainder of this thread i will be referring to it as a "plot clearer".

This is a list of names myself and a few others have thought up!:

• Plot Buster
• Plot Clearer
• Mining Skull

If you have an idea for any other names please let me know!

Part 2: General Description.
Okay lets start with the chances of getting the item, I think the odds of getting one should be similar to that of a holographic skull, maybe a little higher. The reason i believe this should be an Epic or Legendary is because it would normally take a lot of work / resources to mine out a plot and this item would do it for you and as such it should not be so easily obtained.

Next up we have the properties of the plot clearer, It would be a head which you could place in the centre of your plot and right click it. After Right clicking it would come up with a GUI featuring a grey stained glass pane which would say "Please press confirm to clear plot or cancel to exit GUI", A red stained glass pane which would say "Cancel" and a green stained glass pane which would say "Confirm". Once you select confirm it will delete all the blocks from the plot and teleport you to the bottom, you will then find a deactivated version of the plot cleared.

Part 3: Active Plot Clearer.
Okay so i created a design for the plot clear so that people could visualise the item!
The design was heavly inspired by the design of the holographic skulls!
This is a gyazo of the active Plot clearer:

The active plot clearer could be used as a decoration or just help on to until you have further use for the item. It would be useful through the entire season as most players will be able to use it up till the closing of the season.

Part 4: Deactivated Plot clearer.
Once again i also designed an a skull for the deactivated plot clearer.
This is a gyazo of the Deactivated Plot clearer:

https://gyazo.com/6a97680e6918e34cdde8e4204403bb4a

The Deactivated plot clear is designed to look like a powered down version of the active plot clearer. The design is reversed having a dark top getting lighter as it goes down. The design is still similar enough that you could attempt to scam people by reselling it without it being super obvious that its been used. I think it should be obvious by name that it is already used as the way its not super easy to scam with it but still would allow the possibility to scam very gullible people.

Part 5: Conclusion.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post!
for now this is all i have to say on the idea but your thoughts and opinions would be much appreciated!

1. It'd probably break instantly.
2. I think it could be possible that they'd get around 200k when used (roughly the amount you get from selling to A mine when you clear a plot) or it'd appear in chests. There is way to many blocks for one inventory.
3. It would most likely clear everything so it would be best to make sure anything you still want to keep is moved to else where.
4. I think they could place them but they couldn't actually make it clear the plot, it could be used to grief otherwise.

Thanks for asking!

 

I think it would most likely be a one use item, other wise its to over powered. It would deactivate right after being used :3

 

The idea was actually inspired by the chunk busters on factions. I think they should make it a one use item and it should work instantly. I feel like making it have more than 1 use would make it too common and there for less sought after. I like the idea of it being semi rare as it will be very useful and that will mean there will be a demand for it. Having it be one use means more people would buy keys to get the item. I think it should be instant as if it takes a while that would take away from some of the reason you'd want to use it. An instantaneous way to clear out a plot once makes more sense to me then having something that could do it continuously would be a little to over powered.

Thank you for your feedback! it was very helpful, If you'd like to discuss this further feel free to message me on discord Abbiee#0001!

Thank you so much for the feedback boomrabbits! I too have come across the same issues with having to pay people to clear out a plot or doing it myself. From my experience with 2 people and 2 blast mine pickaxes (Levels 8 and 10) it still took around 2 hours to mine out a plot. I agree it would definitely make more people buy keys but i feel adding them to the voting keys would be a very bad idea, as of right now the only things available from a voting key that you couldn't get from working hard is a sell wand or an Ancient key. Adding an item like this to the voting keys would kind of ruin the current loot in it. Adding it would make it so people could argue all items from the Ancient and myth keys should be added. Making it be something you get from and ancient or Myth key seems perfectly reasonable to me. In regards to accidentally clearing a plot "Next up we have the properties of the plot clearer, It would be a head which you could place in the centre of your plot and right click it. After Right clicking it would come up with a GUI featuring a grey stained glass pane which would say "Please press confirm to clear plot or cancel to exit GUI", A red stained glass pane which would say "Cancel" and a green stained glass pane which would say "Confirm". Once you select confirm it will delete all the blocks from the plot and teleport you to the bottom, you will then find a deactivated version of the plot cleared.".

Hi Swaggle! I like the idea of it being a one use item from Ancient key and a 2 use item from the myth key (Or Possibly just making it so you'd get 2 from a Myth key). I do have concerns about it taking time to clear out the plot, Firstly would it taking a set amount of time cause lag? In regards to it taking time too clear and requiring someone to be afk / In the area, Not everyone has an alt they can afk with which would mean they'd be stuck at their plot for how ever long it'd take. This could be annoying especially at the start of the season when everyone wants to grind. Considering it costs $2.50 - $5 per key (with the exception of a sale) i'd say it wouldn't be too over powered to have it be instantaneous.

Unrelated to the previous Thoughts and or Questions, The idea could be troublesome to use for anyone below the rank of Emerald (No Fly). Any ideas on how it could work to avoid players falling to there death when doing /p h ?

I would love to hear more of your opinion on the idea, If you have any other criticism or thoughts please feel free to message me on discord and we can discuss it further! Abbiee#0001. Hope your having a lovely Day/Night
