Hello!
So it's out... finally.
With so many changes to our internal systems, there have been several stability issues being investigated by our developer team.
We understand once we've fixed the stability issues, it should give you a
truer experience of CubeCraft. We thank you for your patience. We understand how annoying it is when a game crashes.
Playtesting
For the past week and a bit, we've been running public play test sessions on Discord. This is been awesome to get to know you all better!
- We have continued to gather feedback and stress test during our several play sessions.
- EggWars Season 2 has been a hot topic! This season is not set in stone. Prices can change. Seasons will come and go. We want to be able to update EggWars with the occasional significant change while still retaining the fun to keep it fresh. Once the network has stabilized we simply ask you to play it and tell us if it's fun or not, we want to use your feedback to help us shape the game we all love.
- Even stress-testing games with 50-150 people - will not compare to releasing across the network. Considering we've changed 8+ version changes in one swoop!

Top Priorities
Here's a list of 'challenges' we've been investigating:
- Chunk issues
- Fix crashing games/latency
- Region joins
- Making all games available
- Skyblock: will remain in maintenance until 21st July. The team is continuing to mitigate a severe server-side performance regression related to chunk processing and loading. You may notice chunks not loading or behaving properly as we push out various patches. We are monitoring closely but please do share what you are seeing.
- Parkour will not be available for at least a week, this was pulled so we could push the rest of the release.

I am only going to be talking about my experience and personal opinion with eggwars with the new update, since I rarely if not ever play any other CubeCraft games. Let's also keep in mind that the only game mode I've played in was normal so far, never played in Overpowered since the update, with that being said, let's get into my opinion.
Overall, I really hate this new eggwars update, the prices were changed for no apparent reason, making the steak prices and sword prices absolutely disgusting and never should have been changed as one person said in the comments, the terracotta (well, clay.) had been changed/removed to “Concrete” which I dislike but that isn’t the problem, the problem is how it’s 16 iron for 32. You used to be able to pay 32 iron for a whole stack of terracotta (Which I am aware, is probably more than the 16 iron if you add it up) but when someone is attacking your base and you need blocks quickly, 32 blocks is something you will quickly run out of, and isn’t efficient. Wool also being added was for no reason, why? What was the purpose? Things like Obsidian do have purpose and were originally gold, which seemed like a very reasonable price considering you could literally just buy a DIAMOND pickaxe with gold, but that’s not the case anymore. Obsidian is now DIAMONDS. Yeah, DIAMONDS. There is no reason for Obsidian to be “upgraded” to Diamonds, it was fine being 50 GOLD! People need Obsidian to protect their eggs, and with Obsidian now being Diamonds, it takes away a good material to protect your egg with.
Now, let’s talk about Emeralds, the value of Emeralds have completely been taken away…it seems like you are just giving out Emeralds to anyone. You destroy someone's egg? Emeralds! You kill someone? MORE EMERALDS! Emeralds have completely lost their purpose if you are just going to give them out for no reason, people like tryhards who go on an egg killing spree and speed bridgers would get emeralds for doing nothing but destroying an egg, which I get is part of the game, but you shouldn’t be rewarded for doing something that’s to be expected of the game. Not only is Emeralds value taken away, but it’s the fact you guys got rid of EMERALD GENERATORS. Now Emeralds just fall from the sky randomly..AND ONLY AT MIDDLE. This absolutely sucks considering a lot of people like to camp at middle to get things for their team, so they can just earn a bunch of emeralds too for walking around and hogging middle? That makes them want to camp there more..
Speaking of the middle, let’s talk about the new enchanting system for armor, It. Absolutely. Sucks…What are you going to need depth strider for? What do you need many of these enchantments for? Why does it only enchant one part of your armor? (I’m aware why, but why not make it enchant the whole thing?) WHY IS THE ENCHANTING TABLE AT MIDDLE? It’s so hard to enchant because of your constant paranoia that people are just going to be coming for you and you’ll be completely defenseless, lose all your items, then they come and destroy your egg, then boom you are out of the game. I wish you guys kept the shop being able to enchant your armor ALL IN ONE (or in separate payments if you needed) with one enchantment, projectile protection (No idea if I spelt that right fr) it was simple, and not out of the ordinary.
Now let's also talk about how some things were added and taken away in the shop, first being the enchanted bows, they were completely being taken away in the shop and replaced it in the emeralds shop for SEVEN EMERALDS, the 25 Diamonds for a bow with the ‘punch’ enchantment was a really good price and seven emeralds is way more overpriced and life risking because of the fact you’d have to go to middle for that, and I would rather not lose all my stuff due to people hogging middle. Speaking of overpriced, now leather armor is 10 iron, not the original 4 iron it was, 4 was reasonable considering how CHEAP leather is! There’s also new things like the trident and crossbow being added, as well as the new Netherite Sword and Netherite Pickaxe, what do all of these serve? I know I’m probably going to get hate for this but things like Netherite had no business being in Eggwars, Netherite is pretty OP, and considering you can only get things like Netherite Sword and Pickaxe is kinda lame too, if you are going to add it, atleast get the matching armor set..
Lets now talk about the generators, and how overpriced it is to fix it from being broken, for example, to be able to fix a iron generator you would need around 10-20 iron, NOW YOU NEED 30. People who actually fix the generators were already hard to come by, but now I understand why they WOULDN’T WANT TO. 30 Iron to fix one generator is completely ridiculous. Let’s also talk about how with the Diamond generator you needed 10 diamonds to fix it from being broken, that’s ALSO complete bull..you are telling me I couldn’t just swipe by the middle which is already infested with people who just want to kill you but now I have to STAY THERE just for 10 diamonds? I know you must be thinking “Oh but 10 diamonds isn’t a lot!” Yeah, it isn’t, but under pressure it sort of is, imagine you go to middle with your only goal to get diamonds and get the hell out of there, so many people killing others at middle, you hope to sneak by and you do. You get 5 diamonds but you have to stay there with a EXTREMELY slow generator waiting for 10 diamonds, then you get killed. It’s so unnecessary, why couldn’t they have stayed the same?
Now these two are smaller, but some maps have been changed..like the “modern map” has been altered a little, why? It doesn’t really matter enough to change, it was fine how it was.
-Also in another one of these comments, someone said this update sucks and to bring back simplistic Eggwars, and I completely agree..Eggwars was incredibly simple and kinda reminded me of Minecraft’s peak! I’ve gotten used to it and things being completely changed kinda makes me not want to play anymore.
TLDR; Eggwars update sucks, here are things that are changed
-Prices change for things like STEAK and SWORDS..
-Obsidian being “upgraded” from being gold to now being DIAMONDS
-Emeralds now serve no utter purpose and are just being handed out like they are nothing (which they kinda are now.)
-Things heavily overpriced
-Whole new enchanting system being located at MIDDLE..like that solves anything
-Some things like bows with the enchantment ‘punch’ have been rebranded from being 25 diamonds to now being 7 emeralds and located at the enchantment table at middle.
-Things unnecessary like Netherite tools, crossbows and tridents have been added
-Them taking away certain items for no reason
-Generators price being CHANGED and now overpriced, and for what?
That’s it on my little rant/opinion about the new Eggwars update, I know this might never get through to CubeCraft, but might as well type it somewhere. Thank you for reading!
