Would be interesting to see how many people are living in Western Australia vs Eastern
There are also ppl in NZ, they would get terrible connection if the host is in west

Hi GBerry, glad you've made this thread, shows you care about us.Alright so I am from Western Australia, I get 79ms but feels as if it's 100ms. This could be a memory leak some where or even its just the pcs the network is hosted on. Should maybe get the host to take a look at the pcs, you guys could even go through plugins for leaks and maybe check the console for errors.
Okay well to in response to the prices of ranks, they seem absolutely fine to me. The reason they are so high is because of the cost to host a server in AU is around $15-20/gig of ram, where as U.S./EU is $5-10/gig of ram. And if you do the math, that's a lot of money per month. So nothing to be changed in prices, although what would be a good solutions to maybe create some flow is release some more cosmetics and cheaper ranks. This could work.
I'd love to see a new anti x-ray plugin re-coded so that this frame issue can be fixed. It's just honestly horrible at the moment, it's bare able, but only because we love UHC and how the server is ran. I'm sure people have stopped playing even because of it. Who knows.
Releasing all these game modes guys could be good, but also bad. You're putting more pressure on the bills for the month for little to no increase in donations. Sure it will bring good branding and promotion to the network, but I think maybe focusing on remastering UHC would be awesome. Up to you.
I like the staff team at Badlion. A lot of them are well trained and educated. There is just the small portion of staff in AU that could maybe get a wake up call or something, because a few of them do not care. They just simply don't. Maybe recruiting some more staff in AU would be better for us, especially since we just got some of the Kohi Network users over to Badlion.
Also in response to how many players there are in Western Australia(That are active per week) their is approximately 100-200 users of the 10,000. I know personally about 10 people from WA who play Badlion. It's ridiculous, obviously there is more though so that's why I gave a rough estimate.
Hope this was all some help to the people who asked questions, and enjoy my suggestions and answers GBerry. Keep up the good work Badlion.

G`day,I am an AU badlion pvper and would like an imput into the server and here is my opinions:
1) I have been rather annoyed recently by the UHC Hosts of AU games prodominantly being NA/EU Hosts such as iiTwins for example that yes its nice that they are able to host these games and im thankful for that but we have over 8 hosts and those 8 are able to host 1 game a day and leaving a few games unknown of a host or cancelled due to lack of active hosts and/or poor organisation pre-UHC
2) The addition of Mini-UHC`s to AU i have been wanting for over 1-2 months now and have been told by hosts it will happen but nothing has been done about it. I know you may think it would be little fills etc. But i have played a Mini on NA which was posted over twitter and filled in 10 mins with 28 AU players that wanted to have a good time with the community
3) There is very little cometition against AU Badlion although there has been a recent increase into AU Factions which has taken away some people due to badlions lag and Knockback
4) Increase purchases of ranks could be by adding new things to the ranks not just whitelists, specs and unlimited games just change it up occastionally and a few sales for people less off in the community
5) Increase number of hosts will allow for less hackers in both pot pvp and uhcs as i saw 3 fly hackers which i reported but nothing was done about it yesterday.
6) You will have heard this 1000 times but try and do something about the KB and Lag on the server that is really the only thing that has made people want to leave the community as i have had on and off breaks on the server due to this which yes is very hard to fix but is very much a key aspect you must keep looking into.
7) The addition of Kohi and Badlion merge will hopefully soon include a better anti-cheat system as multiple people have been falsely banned but very little obvious hackers are. The KB From Kohi would also be a great addition into Arena PvP and i hope this is being tested now as it would greatly benefit the server with more people wanting to play.
Thanks for your time hope you can take some or all into consideration

Maybe add in more mini games for AU as we're left out from the rest of the world (NA and EU )
+1 Lethal on this one we are 90% of the time on most introductions to badlion eg Minis, 1.9, SG came late only recently done, took 3 weeks for AU to add the parkour map and change the world spawns.

Hey Gberry, and yay change to au maybe :DSo this is what I think needs to happen
1) so if you go on planet mc there are tons of mc servers that are au, but badlion isn't there maybe make a au planet mc page, then change all the vote links to that for a while so it can get some more publicity, because honestly it's hard to find Pvp au servers so this would help a lot
2) ik this isn't really something badlion is in to but factions? Not hcf, but like mcmmo and people in au love that most of the good au servers get like 80 players at peak so maybe it would be good to bring there player base over to us and that could help with fils on the general au area
3) au staff. Au staff do a lot of favouritism, and that does make au players a little mad, they false mute sometimes. And they don't mute or punish there friends. And the staff is usually inreponsive when you need help. (Fearless is probs the only mod that doesn't do that - I don't even know him)
4) need way more au staff from NZ because the time when NZ people are on and not the au people yet because they are asleep is where all the trouble makers come and spam chat go toxic and hackers do there cheat bypass. And honestly there just isn't enough mods for au, the best I've seen is like 2 and 1 was afk. And as most people say au is more toxic we need more staff. And I feel people are toxic because of how some staff treat us.
Sometimes staff mute us not even for breaking the rules, just because they don't like what we said. No where in the rules did it say don't do that but they still mute for it. And if toy say "nice false mute" or something like that the mute you again. They don't even listen to the players.
5) maybe for s13 combine practice and arena so it looks like there's more people, because currently we are very divided, on na or eu this would be a bad idea but for naw and au it would be a good idea because we have smaller player bases.
7) au doesn't really have many streamer(rank) utuber (rank) famous(rank) people it only has 2-4 I think for au you need to just get some people that may be a bit less than the standard and give to them to help raise publicity, because it's more likely the will stream on badlion if they have the rank… (Wink wink - 1k twitch followers (wabmiran))
I think that's it
Thanks for reading probs didn't make much sense but Ye
Later

I live in Australia now when I used to live in the UK and I realise that not many people are even interested in games. And you cannot compare Oceanic with Europe because Australia is doing pretty good considering it overall only contains around 30 million people in total and on prime times it reaches 200+ players but expecting season 13 release I pressume that the knockback will be fixed and kohi players will come back to badlion and 300+ players will be online at one time.Posted on 09 May 2016 - 04:21 PM
Also having the feature like kohi had for kohi games and vault battles where you could globaly anounce a upcoming game.Posted on 09 May 2016 - 04:41 PM
What do you think can be done to make Oceania better?I believe the main reason people don't like to play on Au or even Host Au is the toxic people (I know me also) but basically give staff permission to not take any shit from these kids and just mute until there is no more toxic people in chat at all, secondly the amount of xrayers in the community is amazing, countless people going 0,0 20mins in 3/4 and full dia every game and it's the same people, so imagine a smaller server with double the hackers, no chance for anyone else to get close to winning or even want to try to win Au.
What can we do to increase the number of players in Oceania further than we already have?
So it sounds silly and you have all heard it but just better game modes, we get 2-3 games a day and if one of those games is a vanilla FFA or a diamond less it takes every other region out of play, no Eu or West people want to play an Au FFA vanilla or an Au diamondless game, If all games Au hosted were CC, West coast people, even Eu people would be more incline to join for a bit of fun, no one likes putting effort into non CC games especially not on AU.
What is the existing competition for Oceania Minecraft servers? How can we help bring more of those players to Badlion?
Im not sure about this one because idk if in America you guys have a way of advertising badlion but Mc is not talked about anywhere in Aus, we had an Mcsg server but it got shut down, there isn't really anything I can think of to bring more players to Au unless finding a way to advertise it.
For such a small player population what do you think we could do to increase the number of purchases in the Oceania region to offer better support to Oceania?
Maybe Kits for Uhc nothing massive but like Buy a few apples, or by starter tools, nothing to do with combat and nothing game changing just small things like Apples, Books, Stone tools that's about it for uhc just so people who are lazy have the option at the start of the game to buy if they can't be bothered to craft, for potpvp less hackers (I know I complain a lot) would incline more people to tryhard Au potpvp and possible more people would buy ranks.
What would make people want to purchase higher packages in the Oceania region?
If things listed above changed more people would stream badlion and this could improve the amount of people who wanted to play Au, I streamed a little bit and most people I averaged when doing well in a game is around 50-100 so if by fixing small things on Au like Kb and hackers more people would want to stream and those viewers would either want to start playing or the viewer base would grow and could possible bring different people from different regions of Au to seeing Au badlion games (more viewers more regions).

Hey there,Kohi player here. I've been playing Kohi AU for almost 2 years. I was one of the first people on as well. I've been pretty active and consistent with the kohi community so I guess I can try and speak for them.
The AU community is not big enough two different practice and arena pvp servers. I'm not sure what s13 is bringing, but I'll suggest you this. Merge arena pvp and kohi practice. Kits should be normal potion pvp kits as well as UHC kits.
SG's and VB's do NOT work in AU times. If you want to do au SG's and VB's you need to have a timetable set just like UHC. No one will play a continuous survival games server for more than 1-2 games. Having a schedule for SGS and VBs just like UHC would mean people would actually look forward to playing it.
Add in a AU proxy located in Sydney or on the east coast of Australia when factions comes out. I cannot express how important this is. Map 13 Kohi HCF, there was literally only a handful of Australians that played HCF due to its lag. Not until I'm the later maps the Australian community started to grow on factions etc. please bring a proxy in for factions atleast
I completely agree with your statement of the AU community being more toxic than the rest. You need to implement more staff on AU times. I rarely see active staff on. And that's literally just fearlessplays

Hi GBerry, I'm glad you made this thread as au does need to sit down and discuss their problems..In my opinion one of the main problems on au is the staff, we need more staff.. We get 3 UHCs a day, 4 if we're lucky and when the games are being hosted, there aren't any hosts to help moderate the game, resulting in the host having to watch everyone to make sure someone's not xraying or hacking and the host has to watch chat and reply to any problems. AU needs more Arena and UHC mods to help grow the community. In general the staff isn't even that great at the moment, they false mute and or favour their mates. You said AU is very toxic yourself, yet mods don't seem to mute for toxicity anymore..
Some other flaws to badlion is the FPS in UHCs, the lack of organisation, fix knock back in next season.
My suggestion to help gain money could be maybe make an option that you can buy elo (make it expensive), make the ranks have more perks, have more ranks (maybe some sort of special rank for pot or uhc).
To help improve the player base, the only thing that I could think of is perhaps advertise somewhere so all the AU PVP players knows that the server exists and like I said earlier and add more little things, perhaps things that other servers don't have?

I am so Happy that badlion is doing all this for our AU community tysm really makes me wanna buy donorLast edited on 09 May 2016 - 10:05 PM by xUnZeZo_YT
I might have a reasonable request but I do not think it is going to be added. Since there are 2 Australian Servers on Badlion (ArenaPvP and Practice AU) Possibly would be considerate to merge them together. So on a daily basis (in my opinion) there are at least 300+ AU Players (Both Servers Players Combined) on ArenaPvP and Practice AU. Now with fairness, if these two servers were to merge, add the popular gamemodes. For example, BuildUHC, SG are very popular gamemodes on AU ArenaPvP, while NoDebuff, Gapple, Debuff are played on Kohi Practice AU. It would be considerate because of the amount of players, more players will play ranked and a much bigger community. Now, HIT DETECTION and KNOCKBACK needs to be updated a little on both ArenaPvP and Practice AU. If this were to be added, it would be a big change for the AU Community because there will be more then 300+ Players on it. P.S, this is just an option, not a demand but it would be very good if it happened.Sincerely,
Suspicions

1. We actually are going to install the MiniUHC's today/tomorrow. I just reviewed what we need to do with @SmellyPenguin
2. Not sure about the idea of making region specific social media accounts at the moment. Maybe we could add region specific forums in the future though.
3. Are there any other smaller servers (~100 players or so during peak) that we could help to bring in to create one larger Oceania region?
4. We can't allow for lower prices depending on region. We could add more incentives for ranks though.
5. Answered already.

Ever since the Knockback Update everything has been extremely random in terms of how PvP worked on AU. (I'm not sure if the Network causes this, or if the offer regions suffer from this.) Since that update rods do literally 0 kb on a moving player and when you engage in a sword fight its a pure stalemate with no one taking KB. I only noticed this after the update and was wondering if anything would be done about this and if this was a full network situation or not.Last edited on 10 May 2016 - 03:47 AM by Swilliams

I actually just posted a video about this thread. Would be nice if you took a look? Thanks.
