add gaps and totems then

I’m not trying to sound condescending, so sorry if this looks like it. But pvpers don’t use knockback in pvp, except to push people into ganks. The knockback resistance is the main reason why netherite was disabled, it’s not as fun as diamond. I’m not saying everyone thinks that ofc, but majority of ppl did which is why it was removed. Also it makes sets way too expensive and only the rich would have enough for sieges, which is discouraging for new players
As for axes, idk why they’re removed. They are fine to me. The damage definitely does make a difference in pvp tho, but not many players use axes except to break shields. It’s a pot pvp meta so axes aren’t too viable anyway

Why is it not fun as diamond? Knockback 2 got disabled so I am assuming people is having hard time pushing diamond people to the gank. Also, you said enabling netherite can discourage people. But, at the same time, it can encourage players to grind and spend more time in ccnet which is good for the server. And about the axe. Pretty sure that netherite axe do tiny tiny more damage than diamond axe.

Also, use exploding crossbows to push them into the gank.

Netherite pvp is unfun because the kb is random and very low, which makes it almost entirely crit spam. Diamond pvp allows players to combo and change stuff up instead of just crit spam
Most players don’t want more grinding, and I believe a lot of players are upset with the amount of grinding already. Most big sieges use 1-2 dubs of each piece of gear, so that is entirely too much grinding. some players will definitely do that, and because of the nature of the server, this will cause the other side to have to keep up and grind this much too. This will only frustrate old players and discourage new players that have more stuff they have to grind just to stand a chance

Adding a new "superior" armour which costs more that most towns do makes it entirely inaccessible to new players and further decreases the likelihood of nations using their own native members (instead opting for printed ones) since they would now be costing 10k+ per death, instead of 1k+ (not good)

And as turtle said, nations WILL grind for this. Which would cause the price to skyrocket due to excessive demand, so your 10K set could become 20k.

Smartest and most well thought sugestion in sissynet forums rn
Server pvp is balanced armor wise
Richer nations would start stomping on every smaller nations that cant afford full netherite sets
There's like 10+ factors (the more, the merrier) you need to consider before even writing a suggestion because everything is interlinked with eachother

KB is not random anymore turtle with the 1.18.2 update, nor is it that low as it used to be. The grinding is hella annoying tho yeah

I believe that netherite should be only accessible to rich people. It's not meant for players who has 2 hours of playtime. Also, price of netherite may skyrocket but this won't matter cause players can grind them for themselves using the alter. Also, if you can't afford netherite, don't get it. Rich nations may get dubs of netherite armour but do consider how much effort and time they put on the server to get enough to money to get those dubs of sets. Also, if you don't want to loose netherite set, get binding runes.

Also, don't take pity on poor towns or nation. They did not put the same effort as the rich nation did.

cringy ah suggestion, netherite is just way too expensive for sieges, It litterally makes sieges cringe. Imagine bunch of laggers with litterally no kb at all. ruins the purpose of ganks.

Netherite is trash dont add this

>Also, if you can't afford netherite, don't get it. Rich nations may get dubs of netherite armour but do consider how much effort and time they put on the server to get enough to money to get those dubs of sets.
