Hey guys, GH4 here, and I have recently (in the past month or so) been playing on this server after taking a break off of all of MC for almost 4 months, and as expected, there are changes. Now, I don't think this is a negative change or anything of that nature, but I am somewhat confused as to the ranking system. In my beloved creative branch of the server(s) there use to only be 4 ranks; Builder, Constructor, Designer and OS (over-seer). Now that I logged on again, I noticed some new ranks; Surveyor and Engineer. I understand as to what surveyor is and what they do, but my real curiosity is based around Engineer. I noticed that it is a different rank from' Designer' (which is what I am currently) but when i go on the forums and server applications, it now says "Designer / Engineer Application" and I am wondering what the difference is between the two. If you could respond telling me whether or not one is higher/better than the other, what extra/lesser permissions Engineer gets, it would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks for reading all of this,
The difference between the two is very minimal in terms of perks of each rank, the only differences are the individual ranks private chat channels and the disguises each rank receives, however they key difference is how the rank is obtained, an Engineer can be obtained by building, a cool redstone contraption, roller coasters, water ride, mazes, parkour courses, basically anything technically clever as opposed to a great visual build, which is needed for the designer rank, it just allows two possible player paths to similar ranks, however with very different requirements.
Hello, Goldhound4! It's so nice that you've returned to the server! To add to what Natbyte said, I wanted to point out that we have a wiki now that you may not have been aware of that goes into the specific details of every rank. You can check out the wiki by clicking on the 'Wiki' link in the navigation bar below the "Minecraftserver.com" logo or by going to http://www.tinyurl.com/mcswiki . Look towards the bottom of that page and click on the 'Creative Ranks' link. From there, you'll get an overview of each rank and be able to click on each one to learn more about them! However, for your convenience, I've prepared the below graphic that will show you a side-by-side comparison of the ranks. I still encourage you to visit the wiki, though. It's neat. Anyway, welcome back and I look forward to seeing some neat builds!
Welcome back Goldhound! Anyways, I'll fill you up with some basic information. Builder - Basic rank, can only use //wand for WE commands. Can only rank up to a Constructor. Constructor - Middle rank, can use several WE commands. Can disguise as a horse, cow, pig, and sheep via /d Example: /d sheep yellow /d horse skeletal saddle chest iron. Those extra words add to the animal. The last command would turn you into a saddled iron armored chested skeleton horse. Have //set //replace //undo //redo. Can upgrade to a Designer or Engineer. Designer - Previous highest rank, has //sphere and many more commands, but you probably know about them. (Gained /thru /ascend and /descend) If not, read the designer rank wiki. Can disguise as all constructor animals, as well as a chicken, squid, mushroom_cow, ocelot, spider, and wolf. Can upgrade to a Surveyor, Engineer, and Architect. Engineer - Same level as Designer, has most designer commands. Earned with redstone, parkour, roller coasters, etc. Can disguise as all constructor animals, as well as a bat, blaze, enderman, zombie, and a magma_cube. Can upgrade to a Surveyor and Architect. Architect - Highest non-staff rank on the server. Can use many many commands, I don't think I could list them here. I'm trying to make this short. Anyways, they can disguise as ANY mob! They can vanish with /v. In order to become one, the wiki states that you have to have a good standing on the server. Can only upgrade to a Surveyor. Surveyor - New staff rank on the creative server, You don't apply, an Overseer chooses you. Can use /kick and /mute. Other commands include but are not limited to: /v or /vanish, /time set, /spawn [player] (teleports that player to spawn) and /pex promote <player> (promotes the player to constructor, only if they applied). Can disguise as any constructor, designer, and engineer mob. Overseer - Oldest creative MCS staff rank. They have EVERY command and disguise! They require amazing staffing ability. They are not part of the community, unlike surveyors. I think everyone here knows them well Thanks for reading this! I enjoy it!
I don't need correcting Ricio, but thank you for doing so. However, the only thing you edited was where I told what the ranks can upgrade to. Surveyor -> Surveyor(Chosen by OS)
That I would disagree with as I don't see any surveyor becoming one as it the top survival rank and that's the reason the OS's on creative are the same as survival
