Hey everyone! I recently made a post about the Miscellaneous tab (if you haven’t read it yet, I’d highly recommend checking it out), and while I was chatting with a friend during a few EggWars games, something came up that I wanted to share. In multiple games, players kept building up to the height limit to avoid us. Now, I don’t have a problem with people trying to escape or stall a bit because that’s part of the game. But the build height in EggWars feels way too high. Honestly, I’m not sure why it’s set that high to begin with. At first, I assumed it was to accommodate large maps, but even then, most maps don’t go anywhere near that height—except maybe the birthday map, but that one’s not even in rotation most of the time. I know it might sound like a minor complaint, but it gets pretty frustrating. I don’t want to spend time gathering iron, buying stacks of blocks, towering up, getting knocked down, and repeating the cycle. It’s just not fun gameplay. Now there is an alternative solution. Cheaper fireballs (and a lower cooldown, and by lower i mean like 2-3s). Thanks for listening to my podcast!

You can report players stalling and they will get banned. Or you can just buy some ladders - they're cheap and faster than blocks. If you get knocked down, the ladder is already built.

The height limit is appropriate, because it gives you an advantage when you hunt eggs, and it's fun to build skyscrapers. If they bring back the elytra, it's also necessary.

I agree fireballs should have a lower cooldown, to fight stallers and hackers. I think 3-5s is appropriate.

For me the 2 easiest ways to stop them is by either getting ladders (much better than blocks) or threatening to report them ( 1-3 day ban if accepted) but it don't work everytime

The lack of a building limit creates an atmosphere of fun and challenge that I see.
There is no fun and challenge in no build limit. It takes time, and it almost always fails. Not fun for either party. People only do it to waste time. No legitimate strategy requires building up that high even if its for "fun."

To me, I don't see how there's an advantage in building up. I would get it if the elytra was still in the game, but its not. To me, it seems like people are only building up to stall out the games which is utterly pointless. I also don't find it fun to build skyscrapers, especially because they're useless in almost every scenario? If you were up on the skyscraper, you're leaving your egg unprotected, and if you didn't have an egg in the first place, they could just bow you down. Regardless, it is pointless.

That's fair, but I do still believe that the build height is a problem, as no one builds up that high to try and win, it's almost always just to hide and stall time.

It's not about winning, it's about having fun 🤗
Some games are like Mission Impossible movies, fighting people on skyscrapers and jumping off airplanes 🛩️
