Okay, today has been especially lag heavy, and I lost sooooo much money because of the server's stupid habit of freezing me all the time for no damn reason. It knows that I'm in the middle of fighting a boss. It laughs to itself while it tacks on 5 f#@$g seconds of helpless imprisonment. Well, laggy server, you can go eat poop, if that's what you want, huh?
Why does the freezing feature exist? Get rid of it. If it's to prevent projectile lag, well, a malicious projectile spammer (may he burn in hell for eternity, should he exist) could slap on a Hand Warmer and crap all over us anyways, so what's the freaking point?
And whatever's in the server's plugin that causes a prefix to be lost every time I join, somebody address that. It drives me absolutely batty. This is seriously a major turn-off for this server.

About the freezing..
Yeah, most of us had that problem (I shouldn't really find it weird, being someone who uses melee-speed accessories equipped with Vampire Knives). Sure, it is annoying at most times, getting frozen for 5 seconds in between 2 seconds of using the weapon, but unless you're impatient I don't think it's really that much of a problem. As long as you're frozen solid, you won't be able to take damage, so I don't really think you have to get mad about it.

Tbh its all an easy fix. The projectile/damage cap could be raised a little and i dont know what you mean about the prefix change but im sure its just a sqlite bug. If it just requires a log on every time then most likely your ip/uuid changes on restart. If not then im not sure what to tell ya. Hopefully the crashes get patched soon and panther can make some changes when hes off of vacation.

That's just not true. Not true at all. Completely, completely. Once you're frozen, you're fresh meat, and if you're in a Pumpkin moon, you will die, guaranteed. I took a Mourning Wood to the face and lost 30k, because of @#%$ freezing. I don't even think I broke even from my attendance in the arena battle. I've seen people freeze right above lava. It makes no sense, but the server's determination to screw us over doesn't have to make sense.
Why does the projectile cap even exist?

Hackers mostly. Prevents one from lagging the server. If it doesnt freeze them it simpy prevents the projectiles from registering on the server.

I don't post if I don't know what I'm talking about. I've survived a ton of golem shots (Getting frozen again and again), lihzahrd gangs with low health, Triple necromancers(This wouldn't really be much of a challenge, but I had 0fps for a long while), etc. while frozen due to projectile spam. Once you take damage, it will return if you take more. You're invulnerable. Maybe if it consists of a 1hit shot (Like Daylight Prime), you'd get killed, but if you could survive, you will survive.

A ton of projectile spam could cause lag, especially with the hankers escaping ban island and running loose lately. Unfortunately for us, even legit items could freeze us bad.
Although, I somehow agree.. Projectile spam doesn't deny the fact that people could just spam flares and sticky glowsticks all over the place. I have to say, it's kinda useless once you think of the cons. They should add a cap for throwable projectiles instead.

No you are not invulnerable after taking damage while frozen. You are invulnerable for 1 second after taking any damage anytime. Being frozen doesn't increase this. Also removing a projectile cap completely would be a horrible idea as the spam you think you see now would be nothing compared to the chaos a 0 cap server would be. The crashes we see now would become an hourly struggle.

So the easy fix is to just stop the additional projectiles from registering altogether. Ain't that right? This ought to be punishing dorks with flares and glowsticks, not someone who happens to have a Magnet Sphere, Frost Hydra, and Raven out while shooting a Bat Scepter and wearing the Spectre Mask, in an honest effort to defend herself, and not ruining things for others.
And can someone confirm that the Hand Warmer protects projectile spammers from freezing? if so, we got a problem... Houston.

It can. I used to use Hand Warmer to block the freezing of things like this and other things in other servers... Probably this one should work, too.

Well, that's rather dumb, isn't it? The ones who want to maliciously projectile-spam can just pop a Hand Warmer on and give us all the finger while flooding us with flares or glowsticks or bees or eaters, while the ones who are suffering from it can't benefit from the Hand Warmer because we need our darn accessory slots. Here's my setup:
Vanity/Equip
Sniper Scope/Celestial Emblem
Frostspark Boots/Destroyer Emblem
Ranger Emblem/Ankh Shield
Ice Skates/Hoverboard
Sweetheart Necklace/Celestial Stone
I can't afford to give up a slot for an otherwise-useless piece of Christmas trash, but a projectile spammer can. You see the problem here?
