FFA is at it's worst right now.
I think FFA has potential to be the best FFA on Minecraft, but It just needs to be executed correctly. Lately, FFA has been kind of horrid to say the least. There are so many things I can say to constructively criticize FFA, but I will get into that later. The Hackers: FFA some days is unplayable. There are sometimes 2-3 hackers in one game. I report and they get banned but not after they were in the game causing people to want to quit. Sometimes I have been wanting to quit FFA because of it, but this isn't the main reason. I know some are going to disagree and I may have a solution.
The Main problems
1. Samurai: I think this is one of the main reasons why I am doing this, and I know some will disagree, and most will agree, but this kit is a pile of hot garbage. I know what you all are thinking, but it gives no protection, no sword advantages, but all it gives is speed. FFA is a game where you are supposed to fight and kill other players. This kit encourages people to run away from fighting. I know some of the staff are going to say that it gives an advantage for new players or something, but all it does is makes people run away and with speed, it is impossible to catch up with them. You all are also saying that wizard has speed as well. It does, but for a short period of time, but whenever they kill someone they get it back. I say maybe give only one speed potion for the same duration of time? Back to samurai, when people are on mobile with 500ms ping (exaggeration) It is near impossible to get a hit on them.
2. Teaming: Teaming is a big problem on FFA. I know people are going to say, Its free for all, its everyone versus everyone! There are other servers that you probably know that were smart enough to find a solution for this. I know people are going to say get better, but this goes for not only skilled, but new players as well. Like I could take a 2 or 3v1 from some players that are not as skilled, but I sometimes have been teamed on by 7 or 8 players or a few players that have been playing a lot longer or are much more skilled than me. I will address a solution later, as it will be similar to another servers.
3. Featured kits: This was made when the featured kit "Assassin" is out. This kit isn't the best either. It gives a huge jump boost that allows other players to get to previously unreachable places. It also give full iron armor without leggings. Why without leggings? I don't seem to get why no leggings. Its so random, like maybe you can give chain leggings at least? Back to the leap feather, this is also encouraging players to run and not fight. The stealth featured kit is also really bad in my opinion. The invisibility is just taking it too far. once they are invisible, You will never know where they are and is yet again still encouraging players to run away. Other kits like Poseidon need an upgrade. The weapon is unique and I like that, but armor could use a huge upgrade. The Blind luck is the only kit in my opinion that somewhat deserves a thumbs up. I like that It doesn't do anything crazy, but once someone gets full netherite, Its over if they are somewhat skilled.
4. Events: Most events are fine and involve actual PvP, but others have nothing to do with PvP. The one "event" I want to address is Rocket "PvP". This event should have never even been an idea for FFA, because It is so unbelievably dumb that we have to fight with firework rockets instead of regular swords. At this point, they should make rocket PvP its own game. It just doesn't fit in to FFA at all. Thats all for events.
Solutions
I think there is a lot Cubecraft can do about this. First off, they can reset your health after you kill someone so someone else doesnt come in and finish you off at the same health you were at because if you just finished winning a fight at 1 heart, with little to no health boost, someone else can sneak behind you and kill you before you have a chance to react, so a health reset would be great. Second off, for samurai kit, give a temporary speed boost after killing someone, Maybe 30 seconds? Third of all, maybe give only one speed potion when starting for the wizard kit? Fourth of all, Remove rocket PvP. Too irrelevant. Fourth of all, Remove assassin kit, or nerf leap feather to maybe a few blocks of distance, not height? Nerf stealth kit to once you have used the crystal, remove it from their inventory until they kill someone? Maybe upgrade armor for many other kits, like Poseidon, maybe half iron, half diamond? Last but not least, Maybe add a no interrupting fights thing, and combat is in effect for 10 seconds, and players cannot attack one player simultaneously? Other servers have figured it out, why can't we? FFA has potential to be better than others.
I know this was long, but It's all constructive criticism against FFA, and showing solutions that could potentially make the game better. Feel free to give feedback. I know some people will agree and others will disagree. I will be responding to most.
