What is midcamping and why it might be a problem.

[Lightning McQueen]

Mid camping is essantially locking away all other teams from the middle island and farming resources there. This could be called “controlling mid”. Its essentially that.

When you have a coordinated team, you’d be able to do what you need to do and mid camp easily.

Why does Mid-Camping happen?

Obviously because people want to win. Rather, how often does this happen? Very infrequently. Only really happened once to me, and that was only because our team got killed by the end of the game and we didnt have a generator running when we respawned.

Why is it effective?

Simple, because people suck! They dont build to mid and are always complete noobs. Mid camping isnt very easy when you have multiple teams buulding to you at once.

Even if they do build, mid campers can use power + punch bow combination to eliminate people building over.

If they do manage to build over, they’ll just be killed anyways. It requires more than one team actively trying to reach middle. They also have to be good at PvP. No, they always suck at PvP in reality.

Also, it happens on older maps which are really made differently, like UnderDaSea.

Solution:

This isnt a very serious problem, since everyone sucks at eggwars anyways and lack necessary communication and skills to midcamp.

Mid camping cannot be stopped. Nobody does it often anyway. But when you do try it, it does get easy to win.

~Decrease shield cost.

You can pay either 8 diamonds or 20 gold.

~Chainmail is pretty useless. I propose adding projectile protection 2 to chainmail on normal, and 3 on OP. Chainmail will have 1 on hardcore.

~Knockback T.N.T

Costing 30 gold for one piece, it wont do all that mich knockback either. You’re going to have to build out a bit, then place th TNT then jump.

Why should it not deal too much knockback? Well, simple put, because it should not replace ender pearls which arent supposed to be early game.

With this in place you’ll have to build put and them jump usinh TNT. Will only effect user and not teammates.


~Invis potion 20 seconds.

You’ll still see particles though. 60 gold for a piece.

~Encouraging smart play:

Players should be rewarded for playing games by having a high egg break number (per game, not all time). They should be rewarded more points and experience and a slightly higher cubelet chance. By being encouraged to break eggs, players will have less incentive to mid camp. It’ll also encourage people to get off their bases and learn to play better making the game more fun for all.


I dont want anything to go overboard with this suggestion. Mid camping doesnt happen too often (thankfully).

I had no idea anybody even did this anymore, but this does not need to be stopped. If you don't like the fact that some people actually realize that this was designed to be (almost/mostly) a strategy game and not just fancy skywars then just leave the game. Besides if you don't think it's a serious problem anyway then why did you make a thread about it?

Because its a broken gamebreaking strategy that makes the game boring for everyone? No you leave the game. The silverfish rush was a strategy on TD wasn’t it? Then why did it get patched?

It may not be serious because eggwars players are not into the game and dont know how to play it. Nobody does it, but its a problem nonetheless. Plus my suggestions are useful for ither things too.


Your response was the cringiest thing I read today.

 

[Facelurite]

I fully agree. Quality thread keep it up!

 

[Ruisedeer]

people suck!

Lol true

Oh I didn't actually pay much attention to the post the first time :confused1:. Sorry .
But really other than the egg points thing (we have enough eggrushers as it is, making everybody do it would break the game) they're actually good ideas that would still require a skilled team to beat midcampers... so yes to them all! My only concern is people camping for the invis potion because it costs a bunch of gold. I don't know what else to make it cost because it's a pretty op item but there's a good chance of people camping for it if they aren't skilled enough to rush players. You just put armor in your hotbar and you can use it to ambush people or attack eggs, and even though it would add more strategy to the game (I always want more strategy in this game) it would make a lot of people mad and make it so you don't have to pvp at all. Maybe it could be an op only item?
