Is this a permanent inclusion to the server?
If you think this will stop lag then you are mistaken.
the problem is multiple servers on one host - not certain commands.
If you keep on taking away server functions then I believe players will get bored with standing around unable to do anything but chat about how they used to be able to play minecraft and find servers that can actually let them play.
Rant over!!

 

I agree that the server needs at least 2 hosts for the server

If skyblock and economy/classic were on 2 different hosts, the lag would decrease by a lot.

 

Although I do not agree with this...

I do see the reasoning and logistics behind it.
Players are sitting for hours on end using there afk stone/cobble generators and fish farms which both cause a lot of lag due to the amount of entities produced.

This stops players being afk using resource intensive redstone contraptions for hours on end since they cannot do /auto fix anymore.

I believe the cool down shouldn't be soo long... maybe every 3 minutes

 

And after a trip to the nether it will now take me 80 minutes to fix my armour. Countless players without ranks will now not get their tools fixed for free. I agree with cutting down on lag but taking away a basic, well used command, will only detract from the gameplay. The bigger question is, what will be taken away next? Will the server become so restricted that it makes normal gameplay impossible? That is when players will look for alternatives. When that happens, the lag issue will be solved as there will be very few players left.

 

Perhaps a more reasonable delay like a 1min delay would be better as a pair of iron shears won't last 20min between /repairs or /fix if they are used heavily. Or allow the more shears mod on the server. Nerfing functions that people have to pay to use is just bad business. Why not add a type of mod which can tell when a player doesn't move for more than 15min and then it sends them a auto message asking if they are still there and if they don't respond in 60 seconds it then boots them.

I made a thread about the hosts here Ideal solution to fix lag | Skyblock Forums
instead of the only solution which is upgrade to multiple hosts they keep removing our powers and core aspects of the game which makes no sense at all.
the problem isn't that something is wrong its that we are trying to run too much for 1 host we need to spread it out and give us our core Minecraft functions

 

I am not a fan of the fix command having a gap of 20 minutes as if people were to repair 2-3 tools they would need to wait an hour just for three tools. If it was throttled down to 2 minutes at the least it would be much better.

This is a personal opinion but the computer the server is being run on really needs to have an update in the programs it uses to run. Might be wrong on this but ill take a shot; The computer the server runs on needs to remove unnecessary programs, files, etc that is taking away the power and resources that are needed to run the server. If there is an absolute need to store all those extra programs, files, and what not use another computer or place them on a flash drive. So if you do need it you can take the things that are needed and move them into the server computer.

I'm not a computer expert, but I have taken computer classes and know a thing or two to run a server efficiently.

 

Instead of limiting us for simple things that any server won’t be able to handle why not upgrade to 2 hosts? That’s the only logical solution not to take away the perks of ranks or the aspect of the game the problem isn’t the big farms and all that but the amount of data being hosted onto 1 host


And why is the cool down on all tools when the “problem” is only afk stone gens why do shears have a cool down why do axes have a cool down?
I can’t get coal to smelt cactus for dye anymore and now I can’t repair my shears to shear sheep anymore? Or repair my axe to chop trees anymore?
Limiting players is not the right way to solve this problem but expanding the server and storage for the data is

 

Skyblock has been the way it is for so long, taking away what we are used to won't "change our habits", and also doing it without a warning. No-one had a heads up so they could find a way to adjust or something, it was just like, "Oh, goodnight lovely skyblock player, tomorrow we will add an AFK timer, then next without you even knowing about it, we will lower it, then again, we will lower it, all without you being aware until you overheat your computer running it afk at your mob farm or your gen". (Which is quite stupid in the first place, because it is literally bypassed by an afk pool, which typically is just a little like 4x4 area or a 2 long trench), and then ontop of that you now make it impossible for us to do anything related? Oh, are you not afking and mining but you're just sitting there instead mining? Well, sucks to be you, you have to wait 20 minutes to repair your pickaxe! Going to the nether to get quartz or blaze rods? Well, sucks to be you, you can't repair your armor or anything like a one and done, nope, you now have to wait one hour and 20 minutes! One hour and 40 if you wanna repair your lovely pickaxe or sword. If you don't want it to be an AFK block, make rules against it, don't make everyone suffer because no-one can figure out how to press "edit" and type out a rule.

 

So basically you are telling us that a feature we paid REAL MONEY for is no longer going to be available in the form in which we purchased it. This really is bad business. I have spent quite a bit on the server between upgrades, ranks, and keys. And now you are severely limiting one of the MAIN perks I utilize when creating map art as shears just aren't nearly as durable as all other tools. This Nerf is cheating people out of the money they spent to be able to use the repair/fix command. So very annoyed right now. Kinda feel like my money was taken from me and now it's like thanks for your cash but we will no longer honor our end. We won't totally take it away that way we can say if we are sued that we still offer it we just limited the select few from exploiting it. Lame.

Yeah, some people use shears a lot to farm leaves and Vines for their shop, or maybe just for building. They aren't causing lag, but are under the same burdern afk miners have to face. This is so not fair.

Not to mention that Vines and leaves will get more expensive.

I just realised something. If donors need to repair more items at a time, they will buy alts to repair items more often, making the game evenore unfair to those without alts. They will then, naturally, use them to activate automatic farms 24/7. THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE AND WILL DEFINETLY FIX THE LAG.

 

Imagine having to wait 60 minutes to repair 3 tools :rofl:

 

"I believe players will get bored with standing around unable to do anything but chat about how they used to be able to play minecraft and find servers that can actually let them play." Regardless of what the lag problem actually is, I personally believe there is more to Skyblock than just dedicating all your time grinding away and using up precious tools. I believe people should take a break from grinding and do something else on SB such as interacting with the community, building, etc. or in general, like get off Minecraft for a bit. Even though there are limits, you can still achieve what you need, it's just slower than what you are used to or what you want, which I can empathize with. Things are fast-paced nowadays, and even I get impatient over waiting a minute for something to load. But let's try to be mindful of everyone as a whole. New players are not enjoying their experience on Skyblock due to lag (also players who have already been here).

"Countless players without ranks will now not get their tools fixed for free." I don't see a problem with this as this is a survival based game anyways. Deal with it and get a new tool.

However I do agree the wait time is over exaggerated a bit.
