All Networks Make that punch-bow cost emeralds

[Cyanlloyd]

My suggestion is to change to punch bow so it costs emeralds. This will greatly reduce camping, since people are required to go to mid if they want one, and thereby more easily killable.

They also need to go mid for diamonds, so it won’t change too much.

True, but i think what he meant was, that they only needed to go mid once for a diamond generator, that can create infinity diamonds. But if it cost emeralds, they would need to stay at mid for a lot of the match, plus with it costing emeralds it would be way harder to obtain.

exactly
also added a poll

I wouldn't mind some items moving to Emeralds, for example Punch Bows or God Apples. It could encourage players to use the Emerald Generator more, these items would only be a few Emeralds due to needing 10 Diamonds to originally upgrade the Generator.

Spoiler: New Prices

Punch Bow - 5 Emeralds
God Apple - 3 Emeralds

Overall, this seems like an okay idea.

Sorry I disagree, because of two reasons:

- Camping is a strategy, staying on your island while farming stuff for a fight later in the game. When you have to buy a punch bow with emeralds, there is almost no way to shoot other players if they are trying to reach your island. In this way only ‘rushers’ have a possibility to win the games, because there is almost no way to counter them.
- Also the team who claimed mid as first and get overpowerd stuff will win the game probably, because they will stay on mid by the emerald generator for overpowerd items. Other players wouldn’t have a chance to get a punch bow and shoot them off.

100% the punch bow should cost emeralds so only people who stay at mid can have access to it insted of noob campers who make the games last SO LONG insted of having quick games
maybe keep non punch bows like power bow or regular bow costing diamonds though so the noobs arent crying too much

Well on some maps, there are diamond generators on the semi-mid islands meaning they don't actually need going to mid in order to get diamonds.

I think that's really too expensive

 

[Felinesheep1982]

Raising the price of the punch bow wont do anything as there are many ways to go around the bow and many better things to buy than a punch bow.

 

[Cyanlloyd]

oh, Perhaps rather ender pearls for emeralds?

Nah, they are already a bit expensive, and they are the perfect tool for taking down campers, or if you want out of a fight, you can safely pearl away, i think they have the just right price.

Agree, so just keep everything as it is now?

 

[404Owl]

Agree. This would also help prevent skybasing. I would also apply this to power bows in normal mode, and god apples in op.

I really like this idea since nobody usually goes for emeralds but if something as valuable as a punch bow costs emeralds then people will finally start using them
