MAINLY PARKOUR
1) percentages
only seasonal crates provide %s for the items. ancients, elites, and legendary crates only mention “common, rare” etc. adding %s would help a lot since i’m hunting the rainbow tag in ancient, opened about 90 ancient crates and still didn’t get it (but got everything else including the other rare tag; so is it ‘more’ rare? %s could help in this situation, surely theres no way its THAT rare?) it says “rare” but having it provide how probable it is to obtain would help massively.
EDIT: swrds fixed the elite %s, however they dont show in leg/ancients
2) rewards
mana potions:
1 cubit = 5k mana, the elite crate is 3.75 cubits. some mana potions give 2.5k mana from the elite crate, assuming i bought the crate with mana - cubit trade, thats a massive loss. so maybe increase mana amounts.
wardrobe items:
whats the point of crowns/masks/tails, etc (basically the entire wardrobe - which barely ever works anyway) - which are the majority of the rewards if theyre only visible in newer versions and not 1.8 which the server is typically used for? yes it works in some of the versions above, which arent good for parkour. its basically a waste since none of them actually work in 1.8 its not worth switching to a different version jsut for cosmetic stuff which will limit my playing experience. in addition to hex tags which look horrible/don’t work in 1.8, mentioned in depth in this thread: https://manacube.com/threads/new-elite-titles.84703/
EDIT: Summer Crate - y i k e s... this is the best example of a crate that should be revamped for parkour exclusivity, its extremely underwhelming.magenta chat color? mana potions? portables? resets? pearls? feelings? exp bottles? 50+% in a seasonal? massive scam. wow, imo some items look like theyre just there to make up for space.
what i won: extrmely buffed % of pearls, portables, and mana potions. the leather stuff are cosmetics - dont care. sure maybe its hard to fix it or add interesting things (ask the community for ideas), but at least remove the constant rewards that you could get in /ah or ancients or in all of the other crates. took me a few to get the titles, SPLASH! wouldve looked better with & 9, sunburnt is very bland, poolboy/girl is alright. make the swords/axes actually have a purpose and not knockback etc - my brother in christ it’s a parkour server. have it so that maybe it gives off particles? sets off fireworks? gives a trail? for example in other realms the sword gives a huge jump boost (obviously this isn’t applicable in pk but at least it has a purpose). additionally, spawn fly perms as a reward?
community posts for crate rewards ideas should be a thing, and i wish staff listens to the community,
i’m sure dacon is aware of these much needed changes as he posted a thread regarding survival s8 asking for feedback, yes this is not a full season but it’s still a MUCH needed change. there are tons of ideas that staff can get from the community, but parkour feels extremely isolated and little to nothing is being added that’s fun to play around with (rewards). designate staff members that work solely for parkour crates to lessen stress maybe? at least this gives exclusivity and makes it MUCH more fun. the reset just happened and people are already getting bored, especially with maps being more difficult to get accepted now due to strictness and much higher expectations.
i really really wish these get fixed, as literally all of the rewards are a waste of money since they 1. dont work (wardrobe), 2. look horrible in the intended server version (hex), 3. not worth the risk (mana potions, pearls, etc)
