Bedrock More focus on the bedrock version

[themainevent]

It would be nice if the bedrock version got alot more attention considering it usually has 5x the amount of players on the java server.
There is only 4 gamemodes currently on bedrock and it has been like for quite some time. So some more gamemodes like the previously suggested ffa would be nice.
We need more maps for eggwars and skywars as there is very few at the moment and very little variety between them.

Bedrock gets wayyy more updates?

It’s not like Cube can go from 0 to 100 within some months. They update every gamemode once in a while because there are very few developers and every game needs attention and especially the standard games (so not the ones rotating at java). Even adding already existing gamemodes from java to bedrock probably costs a lot of time.

Bedrock gets wayyy more updates?

I disagree. Let's look at the major updates so far in 2019. I'll exclude seasonal updates for both networks since they're so similar, as well as minor updates like point multipliers and map or store updates

Bedrock:

• Chaos SkyWars - though very few players are able to experience this game so for the whole community this is an insignificant update
• EggWars Update

Java:

• EggWars Update
• Achievements + Challenges Update
• SkyWars Update
• 1.8 FFA
• Lucky Islands Update

Alternatively you can just take a look at https://www.cubecraft.net/forums/news/ and https://www.cubecraft.net/forums/bedrock-edition-news.78/ and notice how there are have been 14 Java updates posted compared to 7 Bedrock updates in 2019.

While there are more players on bedrock, judging from the amount of updates, Java is probably more profitable per player than bedrock is as java players tend to be older and with more expensive hardware in the first place, meaning they likely can afford ranks and etc.

I remember seeing a designer say they make more from bedrock with skins and stuff which is good but I agree with more updates for bedrock

Bear in mind that any comments non management staff make regarding finances is just their opinion, they just see their invoice getting paid each month. I'm not going to comment on it beyond saying that you'd probably be quite surprised at how the split falls. As for the question itself, we're all aware that we are in a bit of a content drought right now and it is something that we'd like to fix. Finding time to rectify it isn't always as easy as it sounds, we are doing updates regularly, they are just things that are not very player-facing. There has been a huge improvement in performance and reliability on our Bedrock network, something that has taken quite a while to do but as a result we're able to hold almost 100% more players than before. Quite difficult to try and 'sell' those kind of updates to the players, which is why it looks like we've been doing a lot less on Bedrock lately.

It’s already has a lot of attention

 

[YungLunchMoney]

It's hard to add more and keep it lag free especially for console players like us, due to this we have to be patient because I rather have less gamemodes and a lag free environment, I already experience minimal lag from time to time on SG but It's nothing major.

Change takes time, and patience :)

This new update for skywars 2s is good and I especially like the gravestone mechanic, keep up the good work with updates like these. I would like to see FFA added but skywars is pretty fun again now.

I think this explains it all: https://stats.cubecraft.net/

Look at Bedrock’s player base, then look at 1.9 Java’s. At the highest point of the day, Java has about 3,000 players while Bedrock has over 13,000 players!

And when you ask me, “Should cube update Java or Bedrock”, I would update Bedrock all the way! (Even though I haven’t played Bedrock in my life lol)

Skywars got better now! I love teams of 2 thank you staff team!
