Implemented EggWars beta bridge builder too overpowerd

[kristiankunc]

Hi, I was trying to play new EggWars beta mode and I discovered new meta of rushing, it took me about 20 seconds from the start of the game to destroying enemy teams egg. I think the enemies can not defend that fast.

I agree with you. The automatic bridge builder is a lot easier, but it is too hard to defend your egg.

It is a good item though but it has some good use, for example, getting fast to the middle, but have you egg destroyed in first 20 seconds...

It might be a cool idea to modify the length of automatic bridges depending on the maps. And the average distance between islands. Or perhaps just disabling autobridging for the first 2-3 minutes of the game.

Or they could make it so your egg has protection (just usual blocks) from the start, so you also would need a pickaxe (or there would at least be counterplay)

I think just building some barrier for first 1 minute for the auto bridge between the islands

The other possibility with this is slowing down the speed of the bridges, so while still quicker and safer than standard bridging it isn't just at the island instantly

Yeah, I think this would be a great idea... Just make it about the same speed as a decent speedbridge. I mean, yeah, there might still be rushers, but the same will happen in normal eggwars because of speedbridgers, so there wont be much of a difference!

I also think it is a nice item but it is too overpowered and I think that if you make it more expensive in the shop it will become less and that you also have time to protect your egg

A solution for this could be that every Egg has one or 2 layers off clay at the start from the game?

Hello smteesvsei!
Our game developer did some changes to the Bridge Builder some days ago.

• 1 minute grace period has been added to bridge builders.

• The price of 10 Block Bridge Builders have been increased.

Thanks for your suggestion!
