Petition to investigate and possibly ban Draconic Pickaxes

[UN_Owen]

Lately the server's been dropping to about 3 Ticks per Second for short bursts of time.

 

From what most people are suggesting, this is largely a result of individuals mining with a draconic pickaxe at sizes 49x49 or above for as short as 30 seconds.

 

This activity, if actually this load-bearing on the server, is unacceptable as it makes the server unplayable. If the maximum radius cannot be reduced to something reasonable such as 10x10, I humbly request a ban on Draconic pickaxes.

 

Countless alternatives are available, including things like using quarries - which are typically considered to be a cheaper alternative as well.

 

This is just someone showing off, and it's making the server unplayable.

Please Ban. Or figure out a way to fix them So they don't drop the TPS to unplayable levels.

seems a fix is more usefull for this to prevent the large area's to be done in 1 go

its a nice pick, and worth making, but an area that big is just  of no use to anyone, upgrade limit be better if thats at all possible ?

 

maybe @brunyman can take a look to limit the upgrade limits of this ?

I third this suggestion. this pick is op but it is very expensive. banning the selling of it in the market along with staff of power might also help curb the issue.

[brunyman]

We have tested and have this as the lag source confirmed?

[Direwolf20]

How do you make it do 49x49?  I added cores and the max I can get is 11x11.

@UN_Owen if you got the answer to what Quartz asked, please PM me. Writing it here in public is against rule 19

[Dagonine]

I think what was they mean a staff of power but even 11 cubed is 1331 blocks in one hit

I support this even if it can't be confirmed as the source of lag as 49 by 49 is just crazy, a 10 by 10 limit is already really big, so I would agree on nerfing the pickaxe for sure.

 

 

Edit: just noticed how old this post is, and am unsure whether it is still a problem.

[Henk]

It never got patched, this was prior to this world save so around then more players had these pickaxes I presume... This will likely become a problem soon again.

[ManYouForgot]

It can be a source of lag for sure, glitch or not I've tested it before if one was to try they can easily drop the TPS.

It mines so many blocks and drops so many entities at once, but I don't think banning it is anything we wanna do either, and if we nerf it why even grind for it everyone would stick with TiCon Hammers. 

 

But if the glitch reoccurs again then that could be trouble down the road, which I guess we will have to cross when we get there as of now we don't know how to repeat the glitched AoE.

So how do you get it above 11x11?
