    This is going to make my life a hundred times easier working with only full set abilities but I am curious what you guys think because your opinions are what matter. Thanks

    (If you don't know what the plugin is please read the description really quick and vote. It would really help me out with this decision)

    If Everyone ( even people unfamiliar with the plugin ) can vote that would be awesome. Thanks!

    I vote no. My main reason is that I don't like the idea of not being able to customize my abilities (in-game, "What kind of armor would I need for this?" kind of customization). Mixing say part of a speed suit with a moon suit is great for exploring, but a full suit of either of them would be kind of annoying (sprinting at 50mph into walls, jumping 5 blocks up without being able to land more than 4 blocks away, etc)

    I cant find anything to say other than what motorman said. I like how you've got it now. it builds up and you get the full perk only when you have the full armor. Just downloaded today and still playing around. =3 keep up the great work.

    Okay. Well it sounds like people like the way it is. *sigh* Guess I will have to scrap all my code and start from the ground up. The reason I have to start over is I did not originally write this plugin with "expansion" in mind so it would be nearly impossible to read and edit the code when I wanted to add more abilities. I plan on adding dozens of abilities to choose from so it would be much easier to only have to focus on one thing but I will manage. May take a few weeks but I guarantee you will love it. So in short, I will keep the mix and match mindset of abilities and write the code over with expansion in mind. Thanks for the feedback!

    Thanks! Guess I will keep it the way it is and get to coding tomorrow. Thanks for your feedback

    Hmmm... well that would make my life much easier. Maybe I will make that an option since people don't want full set abilities. Or I will wait a few days and do whichever has more votes. Thanks for your feedback

    Its not that I don't like full suit abilities, its just that I don't like having that as the ONLY option. With both in the plugin, you can have people like me happy with being able to mix and match, and people like Adrenaline happy by adding bonuses to full suits. Thus there is incentive for both ends, and players are given even more options to choose from.

    Unfortunately, nothing as cool as that can be programmed easily. In the end, the decision is yours to make, it is your plugin after all :p

    Here is what I have decided. I am going to code using only full set abilities for now. Once I have polished that and added a few more abilities I will release it as version 1.2. Then I will go back in my code and incorporate mix and match for those who want it. I think it will be easier to add mix and match style after my code is clean and readable.
    I will just have to add integers associated with the abilities associated with the player. Should prove to be somewhat of a difficult task but a fun one as well. Thanks for all your feedback as well as everyone else.

    Sounds good. Could you explain some of these new abilities please?

    One is builders armor where mobs do not attack you ( unless you attack them ) and another is assassin's armor where if you sneak with it you become invisible. Others coming too but that is a small preview

    So the assassins armor makes you invisible... to other players? Sweet! Definitely gonna work well with PvP arenas. And the builders armor sounds promising, kind of like a cloaking device, but for mobs. Looking forward to the update!

    Also, did you squish that potion effect reset bug?

    I voted, both answers. Why? So it didn't help you make a decision.

    Not yet but I plan too. Because some armor runs on potions I have to cancel the potion when they take the armor off so I will have to look into that when I start coding. I will try my best though

    Alright. So when you remove armor, is the plugin calling up some sort of "remove all potion effects" function? Or is it armor/potion effect specific?
