    Update: Gold Nametags, Giant AI, and Balanced Armor

    Greetings
    Just have a few more updates that I think y'all will like. Additionally I'd like to mention that our developer DocCodeSharp has been hastily cleaning up and tackling issues in our code to try to reduce lag. Although we have not fully concurred it, we believe we are getting there and every day brings new excitement as we see how well servers hold up with our improvements.

    Gold Nametags
    Finally they are back. Not much else to say here other than anyone who purchased a gold nametag can finally show off their glory once again. Feel free to purchase yours here. Oh, and don't forget Bandit and Healer tags will be returning very soon. We've decided and they're going to look something like this:

    [E] Andrew_64_MC [Bandit]
    [E] Andrew_64_MC [Healer]

    Giant AI
    We are continuing to perfect giants and have adjusted their artificial intelligence some more. They will now stay looking at and follow who they are agroed to as well as travel up and down changes in elevation. Better watch out!

    Balanced Armor
    As brought up here, armor values needed a little tweaking to make every piece of armor actually valuable in their own way. So what have we done, exactly that! Check below to see exactly what we've done. Looks like chain helmets aren't gonna cut it anymore!

    Also, please use a brighter color on healer tag.This looks a bit dark.

    We've messed around with it and honestly I don't think you'll see a difference. We're talking a reduction from 12 to 11! Mix and match some chain and iron and you're good.

    Excellent work to the development teams and others for getting these things fixed. Achievements and stats after tags?

    That's a big project, but of course we will have to touch a bit of that while fixing Healer and Bandit tags. We will see what's in our best interest as we move on!

    Why use brackets for Healer and Bandit tag... It looks way better without.

    Do we still have to kill 6 people to get bandit tag and heal 16 people to get healer tag like in the old days? Or are the numbers changed?
    Also what happens if we are both bandit and healer at the same time? Will 2 tags display?

    I'm happy to see that staff is taking in suggestions more, and that they are making minez more playable. I might as well play more minez.

    6 and 16 is correct. Also bandit always overrides healer for obvious reasons.

    gold name tags are orange and it looks really ugly and not COVETED like it should be (revert back to the more yellow pls?). otherwise very good job

    The color is gold. It was never gold before, so what shows will be based on your texture pack has as that color.

    prefix += ChatColor.GOLD;

    As you see I am setting the prefix of the name to ChatColor.Gold. So its true gold now, not that fake yellow gold it was before.

    Thanks so much to the devs for working on minez. If stats and achievements could be fixed soon that would be great. Y'all owe me a bandage and a few other things in my spawn kit. Also plsss change my forum name to goh. My name was Juy a year agi

    Old armor pieces will be lost over time.So i don't think it's that big of a problem.
