Java Trying to revive blockwars! *New Gamemode* Get the points!

[GabrielFoxerd]

I have an idea about another game mode in blockwars, we have "capture the flag", "break the core", we could have "get the point"

Explanation:

it would be a combination between CTF and BTC, each team starts with 25 points, when you kill someone, your team wins one point and the other loses a point, if you capture a flag your team receives 5 points and the other team loses 5 points, but if you take the flag and they kill you your team loses 5 points and the other team wins 5 points.
The winning team will be the one with the most points after 7 minutes, or when the other team has zero points.

With this you can include a top of "pointers" or "killers" and in turn implement a top of "core damage" so that more people play this modality.

About new kits or maps, other people have already made suggestions, but I think blockwars would change a lot if they added a new game mode like this, it would be fun and you could even vote for 3, 5 or 7 minutes since getting points would not be difficult and they would be fun and dynamic games, or also start with 15, 20 or 25 points to have a greater variety in each game.


*NOTE*
If u die in the void yourself having or not having the flag, this will not affect the points of your team or those of the other team.

Why?
The only way to get points is by capturing the flag or killing those of the other team, not dying in the void (unless you are thrown into the void)



Thank you for reading.

It sounds interesting but honestly, we could do without a another pvp based update to the game, it's gotten more and more pvp based with every update, taking away the emphasis off doing the objective of taking and capturing flags and has become increasingly about getting the most kills. It's a nice concept but you only really get points for kills and the 5 for capturing is basically irrelevant.

The biggest flaw in this game mode is the massive number of backwards incentives there are, basically promoting cheesy strategies that are the opposite to what is intended so they win.

Your first flaw is that killing someone with a flag will reward you points, so the first thing player swill do is build absolutely no defence just so players take their flag and kill them for extra points.

The second flaw is that 25 points is much too low, a good team can get 25 kills in less than 2 minutes.

Third flaw is that capturing a flag is completely not worth the risk whatsoever, you are more likely to die than capture it so the most likely outcome is that you lose points and time even trying it.

Fourth, the other team getting zero points will happen in the vast majority of games and the teams will have to be completely equal for it to last up to 7 minutes and thats not going to happen in more than 1/20 games.

Fifth, the voting options are just a waste of time, people will always vote for 15 points and 3 minutes no matter what because it's the quickest way of getting a win and no one is gonna drag out a game unless they are trolling.

Sixth, the falling in the void thing is just gonna be how people get up to max health again after getting low and purposely jumping in the void all the time is stupid, the same thing if you think you will die with your flag.

My next thing is why people wont play it.

The fact that your teammates can lose you points is just going to be frustrating for you when you put in the work to get points and your teammates get constantly killed and undo all your work. People don't like that.

If you think about it, there is really not much strategy whatsoever, you can spawn kill, open your flag so they take it and jump in the void to avoid point loss, it will be repetitive, extremely frustrating when you are on the weaker team and honestly just kill farming.

That's why I would not like to see this

This would just turn blockwars into an hibdird of FFA. No thank you, the games would be awfull, everything would be pvp based and the essence of the game would be lost. What cube need to do is add new maps, kits, original trap blocks, or maybe even change the meta by editing the kits, buffing some and nerfing others. Your idea, even that it's nice, it's not a good idea for blockwars. It has a low based community, splitted in two, no need to split in three. If they added this it would get killed instantanely (Or after two days as all the games.) This gamemode you suggested could pass as a different game, with new kits, and fresh new community, but it's not a good idea realising this as a blockwars mode, sorry. No.

Its easier to get 5 kills than to get a flag. Make getting a flag give you more points
