Upcoming Gamemode Poll

  •   Hooke_


    The thing about a mmorpg.. is that we can't offer that. The intrinsic idea of the game is built into the definition. Massive. These games need, at worst, a few hundred players playing on them. They'd preferably want a playerbase in the thousands.


    This server even in its peak wouldn't have had the consistent playerbase needed to support an mmo experience. Nowadays an extra server would be doing very very well to have 10 players on during peak hours.


    And it's for this reason as well that I believe prison is the best option from the two in the poll. On a good day, freedom-01 has 15 players. And that's currently the only server that new players have the option to join. (Not including the skyblock as it's not accessible via the hub) Meanwhile, a bedwars game according to hypixel requires at least 8 players. Now sure we can drop that to 6 or 4, but itll probably make the game less interesting. And doesn't change my point - there will be many points where a game of bedwars cannot actually be started. You have 3, 5 or 7 players waiting in some kind of lobby and doing nothing until someone else joins. But with prison, you can have one person playing by themselves. 2 people playing by themselves. It isn't a gamemode that requires a certain amount of players.


    I'm not saying prison is this fantastic gamemode we so desperately need, but I think that anything we are adding in ways of new servers should be able to be played solo, since no matter how good it is, there's probably going to be many times when there's 1-2 players online. That's just the way this server is atm.

    Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

    also, imo if we go through with one of these ideas they would have to be unique in a way to keep a playerbase instead of them just going to idk hypixel for bedwars or (insert prison server here) for good prison, hopefully that's not an issue though because devs based

    Prison servers in Minecraft are not set in any of the massive natural biomes that are characteristic of the game. Instead, they take players into a map designed as a brick and mortar prison, where he/she must mine, gather resources, exchange them for money, and rank up to earn freedom.


    This doesn't sound fun, why did most people vote for this?

  •   ThePyroManActualAccount well my above post explains my vote. It's a more sustainable gamemode in my opinion because it doesn't need a certain number of players to play it. If we emulated hypixel bedwars, you'd need 8 people to have a good game. With the current servers player counts, I think it's best to have a gamemode open to the fact that there will inevitably be only 1-2 players online at some points. I feel prison fits that bill, whilst bedwars doesn't.


    Also prisons complete contrast to the idea of freedom makes it quite a funny concept that technically fits.

  • On the grounds there was no clear consensus, and that there are other posts out there discussing at least the Prison game-mode idea, I'm going to close this and "Deny" it, happy though if people have a more fleshed out idea on how either game-mode could work
