Disguises in PvP areas

I just had an encounter with a player who disguised as a baby chicken mob at the supply drop in the wild. I have no problem with and expect PvP when going for a supply drop, but what disturbs me is that Meepcraft allows players to use disguises which not only alter their appearance but also modify their hitboxes in areas where PvP is enabled. This player selected the smallest mob possible to "disguise" as in order to be essentially impossible to hit, lending a significantly unfair advantage to them given their specific donator status on the server. Per Mojang's EULA, ranks are not permitted to provide advantages such as this and I recommend that Meep restrict the usage of disguises to areas where PvP is not enabled such as within Town limits and the Spawn world.

Please consider this seriously.

I'm not upset about the items lost, just the method in which the disguise feature was exploited beyond being just a cosmetic enhancement.

A better option would be to make /near a universal command.

 

Are you positive that the disguise had an actual effect on the hitbox? If so then maybe they can just remove the differences for the various disguises.

I don't think this would help out with his hitbox problem? He seems more concerned with being able to pvp equally rather than knowing who he's pvping against

 

How about when combat tagged remove disguises

 

does that mean disguises break the eula?
uh oh, better remove /dis in wild or have another sale.

 

If anything, just make all the hit boxes the same?

 

If you get lured, /dising chicken and running away is one of your few options, though.

 

100% positive.

This seems like a reasonable solution. People could still be allowed to sneak attack starting with a disguise, but the advantage would be gone as soon as they attack. Maybe even VIPs and Cits could be allowed to transform into sheep or something to help with the balance.

This just bolsters the fact that it is being used as an advantage by players who have received the feature by donating (albeit in defense).

 

Or you could make being in disguise also put you in a passive mode.

 

It's true, I used dis chicken baby whenever I was supplydrop hunting.
This happens so infrequently that I'm not sure it's worth the work. But if it does happy I wouldn't mind turning off the dis when you're tagged. Seems the most fair.

 

/back is a lot quicker to type than /dis chicken baby and if you're non donater /spawn

 

Inadvertantly, yes. However you can't tell at surface level. +1 for whoever the hell said undis when tagged.

 

That's a good idea in theory, but we'd have to not allow /undis. I've seen it too many times in Grand Theft Auto, players using passive as a tool to get behind others and ready to get out of passive and strike them. There is a 10-15 second cooldown on it, people simply wait and then surprise attack someone.

 

+1 to being /undis once you are combat tagged as that will make the most sense.

 

Thanks for the suggestion but we are already working on this! https://trello.com/c/zAf3gQvw/872-meepcosmetics Have a nice day
