The relaunch of Hail is closer than ever, with real progress being made very quickly recently. That being said, you can all help with making the relaunch a massive success by contributing some ideas you have! There are a few things I'm really looking for in these suggestions:

New perk ideas, and what should trigger them [Hail perks are divided into 4 categories: On Kill, which indicates that the effects of the perk will trigger when you kill a player; On Bounty, which indicates that the effects of the perk will trigger when a bounty is placed on you either from achieving a high killstreak or becoming a beast; On Respawn which indicates that the effects of the perk will trigger when you enter the arena (example, the Shield perk which gives you 2 hearts of Absorption when you enter the arena); and Miscellaneous, which indicates that anything else that doesn't fall under the previous 3 categories can trigger these perks]
New powerup ideas [Hail powerups spawn at the Powerup Spawner towards the left of the arena near spawn. Powerups can do all sorts of things, for example, fan favorite and an icon of Hail is the Dragon Rider powerup, which literally lets you gracefully fly around the arena atop an Ender Dragon, devastating any poor soul near you with automatically firing fireballs, the possibilities for powerups are near limitless! Just make sure it is not an unlimited thing, since the Powerup Spawner spawns another powerup 5 minutes after a powerup has been collected, let's prevent multiple people from having powerups, or the same person having multiple powerups at the same time!]
Event ideas [events can happen periodically to spice up the gameplay and change the rules of Hail a little bit, this is an entirely new concept and I don't have any ideas for events currently myself, so if anyone here would like to give a suggestion, it would be much appreciated. You could be the cause of events getting added to Hail as soon as it relaunches!]

I'm really interested to hear everyone's suggestions! You can submit a suggestion by replying to this post directly, or by creating a thread in the Suggestions category!

My suggestion/idea for this:

I think the perks should be triggered when you enter the arena, since I believe that perks are suppose to help the player to stay longer or to help them to perform better. Entering with the perks should really help the players to get into somewhere safe, therefore they can perform better. Not everyone has the ability to kill people easily, so I would think that on kill isn't a great option for people who are either new to Minecraft or bad at pvp. On the other hand, people who are really good at it might be able to dominate other people with their perks... In a bad way. Same with on bounty, which I think that people might be able to get bounty really easy. If you trigger your perks when you enter the arena, there won't be any differences between each other, except their pvp skills. Everyone can fight fairly without someone just basically kill someone, get perks, the other person comes back, killed them, get perks, and so on.
For the powerups, I think that if we could add something like regenerate 5 hearts or speed boost for 1 or 2 minutes. I don't know.
Event suggestions: There could be a Sunday event, like double coins for that day.

Sorry, I am short of ideas for the second and third. I hope you like it. ?

Dm123321_31mD Sadly, I believe you've misunderstood the point of everything here. For perks, the choice was not for what should trigger all the perks, you were simply given the list of triggers that exist already. The berserker perk for example, gives you strength (very briefly though) on kill, and the Double Dip perk has a chance to double the coin reward on kill, both would be completely random and out of place as an on respawn category perk. That powerup idea is so boring too, powerups are meant to really spice up the gameplay, you can take them in any direction you want, why limit yourself to Minecraft potion effects. And for events, you once again misunderstood what I meant here. Events in this context would be something that triggers on the server automatically every few hours or so that can drastically change the gameplay rules, such as for sake of quick example, the map becomes night time, all players get speed and jump boost changing how PvP works, but there are also skeletons or something trying to kill them.

Um. In one sentence please.

Also, I thought my ideas was too over powered (just usually).

And I don't have any ideas. Please wait 1241 hours 12 minutes and 13 seconds for a new reply. Thanks.

These are some of the suggestions/ideas I came up with:

Perks
Hider
- Trigger: On Kill / On Bounty
- Description: If triggered by Kill, there is 5-10% chance to become invisible for a second. If triggered by Bounty, player would become invisible for two or three seconds. (In both cases only particles are shown)
Second Chance
- Trigger: On Respawn
- Description: With 45%(or so) chance, player will be teleported to their death location with only three hearts. (Won't teleport if player fell in void, cause that'd be dumb)
Malfunction
- Trigger: Miscellaneous, hit with an item
- Description: Disables the use of Enderpearls, Slime Launchers and other gadgets of the hit player for four seconds. Cooldown of two minutes.

Powerups
Enderman (better name for this would be cool, but couldn't think of any better ones so :Kappa: )
- Description: Allows the powerup holder to teleport to any solid block on LoS(Line of Sight) in 25 block radius of the player by sneaking. Powerup runs out when all 10 teleports are used or after a minute of the activation.

Events
The Day of The Beasts
- Description: Everyone on the server automatically becomes a Beast upon entering the PvP zone. As for the requirements of "winning" this event, it could either be most kills or highest kill streak. And for rewards? That's up to Nick.

That's it. Hope any of my suggestions/ideas sparked new suggestions/ideas to others, write them here so Nick gets to see them! :v
