Removal of mutants or addition of save zones

With the addition of mutants, the server has become one of the most unfriendly servers for new players. New players are unable to get anywhere without getting killed.

If we want more players, we need to do something about this ASAP.


*edit: safe zone... not save zone*

And creeper minions are able to break claimed zones with their exposions, something very annoying.

When I saw the update I thought "oh, this is awesome!" and I played with the mutants in a SP world (the server was down). But the very next day I joined the server and, wow, 2 mutants near my house. Obviously, they killed me and a minion almost destroyed my most important diamond chest :'(

It's because the minions that I'm rebuilding my house with warded blocks. I'd like a minor spawn rate in mutant creatures because when I look through my warded window I see a mutant orgy, mutant mobs spawn just like the normal ones :S

A decrease in spawn rate also would help. I'm glad I have a pretty safe area that I already have lit and fenced off, but I would think anybody without a safe zone would have a terrible time (especially with ender mutants)

I agree that at least a smaller spawn rate would help. I like the monsters, it provides a good challenge, but just maybe less of them lol...

Yes, I like the idea of a fun challenge with the infernal mobs and mutants, but they need to be balanced better. For new players that are just starting out, they won't get very far at all and will most likely just quit.

Yeah they pretty much jacked up my ranch

Hmmmm. Maybe people can be started with Iron armor?

Armor is a must for even beginners. Even higher level armor seems kind of useless. Maybe give them a mediocre armor from one of the new armor sets.

Also give them some kind of noob pack. That way they can build a safe place ASAP.

I'm new to the Forum but I have played on the server and I have to agree that the monster spawn rate needs to be lowered. I like to start with nothing myself and build up but for this server I think a starter pack is a must.
