TOPIC: [TTT] Remove Pointshop

Server Name: Trouble in Terrorist Town

Suggestion Title: Remove Pointshop

How would it benefit the server:
-This will reduce the problem of hitboxes, and overall anime silliness that is cluttering in the pointshop as will somewhat minimze the downloads.

-This will also void a invalid KOS reason:
Potential Issues/Exploits: I played Tekkit and I don't know much.

Additional notes: N/A

BUT THE TAUNTSSSSSSSSSSSS

I like the pointshop, sure the player models can be goofy but there has to be an extent of customization on the server.

The pointshop is one of the only unique features we have left it would be a terrible idea in my opinion to remove it.

The taunts may be kept and should add more variety to that and remove the more unused ones.
A option may be that you can change to default player models.

I just thought of this..

The auras are pretty much the only thing that VIP's can get and they are in the point shop. So if you remove the pointshop, what bonus' do the VIP's get

Uniqueness was what drove the server off the charts. It's not how much content you have in the server, it's the community that brings players back.

I'll think of that and come back to you.

I summon Blocked as I want to see his perspective of this suggestion.

Pointshop is not unique nearly every server has it

I tend to disagree on this one. Having a Pointshop gives players something to grind for and to come back for. It must, however, be decently updated & maintained which it hasn't been in over a solid year apart from random holiday stuff.

Im not sure what to say to this, im neutral.

The pointshop is something to work for.
Then again, the point-shop is the thing that takes the most DOWNLOADING time.

Maybe not remove it as a whole, maybe just remove some models, like the 5+ anime models or whatever, we only really need like 1 or 2.

Maybe, remove the most unused taunts?

Hmm no thats the only content left that is original and its not that original

Removing the Pointshop won't change the state of the server as is right now, if people want the gamemode to become so competitive and grindy, choose ranks. The Pointshop however is badly maintained with people complaining about hitboxes and such.

As I previously said, if you're so inclined to leave the Pointshop, remove all player models and add in default ones, and unused taunts - If anything the Pointshop should be different to Deathrun as Deathrun doesn't concentrate fully on using weapons as the gamemode.
The content isn't original and isn't original. Most people see a Pointshop server and are reluctant to join it.

If all of you want originality, then start thinking - that's how originality starts but be aware of uniqueness. When it was modded, the playerbase dropped, you need to start thinking about its audience. The thing that brought players wasn't just putting a hashtag and thinking that you're doing something, it's going on it and inviting friends.

I wonder if you can take the fancy dancing moves from SSRP to TTT unless it is there already. I don't play TTT much but i'd like the server to keep going and therefore more content should be added and some should be removed. AKA uppdating it. ples

Any more feedback would be appreciated.

not going to happen

Shame none of my playermodel suggestions got added. Although it was accepted a number of times. (2015)


As for my opinion, I'm unsure since having playermodels/hats and masks allow players to recognize each other through their different looks and whatnot. But then again, it does increase download times and allows players recognize the other and call out an invalid KOS. (You could also disguise as someone else using a disguiser and the same pointshop items they have equipped. Which I like but never happens because of the slow loading times for the pointshop when pressing F4)

Removing the pointshop would make it somewhat more boring but also gives a more fair fight for both traitors and innocents. Maybe you could have the default playermodel switch at every round so at the one round you're a CT and the other a custom playermodel (with good hitboxes). Or maybe have every player spawn with a different playermodel every round, similar to the Murder gamemode where at every round you have a different name and color.
