Java Eggwars: Normal/Overpowered

[Ruby121]

Hello everyone

I have been playing on cubecraft a lot when I was younger and now whit the coronavirus I play again. But I noticed that my favorite server is changed.

I love to play eggwars, a lot of kills, but the voting really needs to be changed. Every time the gamemode is normal, people leave. Every time it is overpowered people leave. I for exemple hate overpowered, I only play normal.

So I think the staff should really consider to just split eggwars in a normal, overpowered and basic mode. It is really frustrating if you can not play what you want. Sometimes I have to leave 3 games until it is normal.

If an argument against this is that people have the right to vote when they bought a rank, so we can't split eggwars then I say this: I have an obsidian rank, every time the vote is equal so I vote normal and a gold rank for example voted for overpowered, then I lose it. I mean if you really say the ranks have the right to vote so we can not take that away from them, then you should really consider to make sure that when it is equal the highest rank wins at least. I payed more and have the right to win.

I also think people will be happy whit a split because every game like 10 people leave.

I don't think this is a good idea, if you want to vote to whatever you like then just buy a rank. People buy ranks because of this.

If the gamemodes would split the value of the ranks will decrease

Exactly. :p

Well i have an obsidian rank and I tolled you that it doesn't matter. A gold rank still wins the vote from me whe nit is equal.

Yeah but it are mostly the ranks who leave first and the value is far away anyway

Hi there,
I disagree, If you only need to leave 3 times to play your favourite mode it shouldn't be such a big thing to leave 3 times. I like the different modes they make me use different strategies. And about the thing that gold rankers win, it's a random chance. I like the system the way it is now.

 

[Demotiverend]

Exactly. My rank would be worthless over the time.

 

[Goefy]

I disagree as well. I pay money so I can vote. If everyone can chose the mode they want ranks would be useless.

 

[Demotiverend]

I understand it bothers you, but without a rank you would never get what you wanted.

just seems like ranked players have an issue with this...

Yeah most of them, but I have an obsidian rank and I want it to change.

 

[Goefy]

Yeah most of them, but I have an obsidian rank and I want it to change.

Why? That would make the rank useless. I don’t understand it.

 

[Patrick Lynch-Brown]

because he would enjoy eggwars without it, he has a point. people leave the games when they dont get their preferred mode, so if you took that out it would lead to proper games with full teams

I have a simple theory on why people can't stand normal items, and that is the price of steak.
I do not think the people in charge understand how much steak you need to eat in 1.9+, therefore having steak costing 5 iron where most team maps only have weak iron generators at base (and other players like to sit on them for the whole game), makes the player wait around on their base for so long, only for a fight that will last 20-30 seconds.

I believe that if the price of steak was decreased to 2 iron/steak, normal items would be played far more, and would be more tolerable to the average player.

This isn't a very good idea imo. They combined all the arcade games and a few more so there would be less different games and more players per game so games can fill better. Splitting eggwars is going against that reasoning so I wouldn't do it.

Hey there!

I see what you mean. I still don't think its a good Idea. I bought my rank to vote for eggwars, thats the wgole point of buying a rank on cubecraft right?

Not only did I buy my rank to vote in some games, but also to support CubeCraft ofocourse.. ;):)

I agree with this, in normal items I spend so much time on my island waiting for iron, by the time everyone goes to mid, and over powered game would've been over. People chose over powered because it lends itself to very fast games, and most people don't enjoy camping for hours waiting for food.

Hey Ruby121,

Same thing here! I also played on Cubecraft a lot a long time ago and recently started again because of having more time to spend due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Anyways, I bought my rank a long time ago specifically in order to vote for the items in eggwars and whilst removing that right doesn't disturb me too much, I can definitely see it causing a problem for some other players. It's simply a principle of fairness: If someone buys a rank for a specific purpose, Cubecraft can't remove it without having some players feel like they have been mistreated. It's a simple fact and it just happens to be like that. When buying a rank, you buy all the privileges mentioned for a lifetime duration.

As for what you said regarding the gold rank winning a vote against an obsidian rank, it is random (as already mentioned by @Darkninja27 ) and ranked players (that are able to vote on eggwars) are given equal chances on voting. Also, you should remember that the value you paid for your rank does not only come from the voting ability, but also from all the other perks you have that a lower ranked player might not have. What I mean by that is paying more does not mean you get more chances to win a vote, instead it means you have more other perks and privileges.
