Hi!
I've seen this topic being discussed multiple times lately, not just about Eggwars, but also about gamemodes such as FFA. New weapons, like the spear and the mace, are apparently highly desireable. So I thought I'd give my personal opinion on the topic :)
Adding the spear to Eggwars seems very unnecessary to me. As of right now, the game
feels perfectly balanced, and it being obtainable, for whatever crazy amount, would no matter what upset that, as
@yurisatori0312 said earlier. What's the point in grinding for good armor, good swords, good defense if someone else could farm, in your example, emeralds, and just one shot them, or keep them at distance and win the fight in the long run. The skill aspect in a very PvP oriented gamemode would take a huge hit.
To counter the keeping-at-distance part, you suggested making it so the spear has the same reach as a sword. Which, to give you some credit, is a good and fair idea. But it seems as if it would be very,
in my opinion, unnecessary development work.
And with the other suggestion of it having a one minute cooldown, then what's the point in even adding it and grinding to get it?
To me, it seems like it's not a great idea to add it, both balance and development wise. An item that would upset the balance
this much, and would need so many tweaks to begin with, shouldn't even be considered to be added.
I would love to see the spear in another gamemode though! I think, for example, it would be a great addition to PoF! (If this is already the case, oopsie)
Please keep in mind that this is just my opinion! Thank you for reading and let me know what you think
