A possible camping solution?

[maxminoS]

Sorry, but I think camping is also a strategy for EggWars, Skywars, etc.

If the moderators didn't want camping, they could easily just put it as a rule. So, I think that camping isn't a problem at all and this shouldn't be implied. -1

I quite like this idea. Yesterday; I was playing with a camping hacker... Nightmares ;_;

Perhaps after 30 minutes a decay could be voted for? Kind of forces players to go to middle and fight. :P

Camping IS a rule though. :p Look at the specific game rules in the official rules thread:

SkyWars (Solo)

• No skybases (camping): For example if you are at the top of the map, surrounded by lava and pretty much in an unkillable position forcing a stalemate.

Just an example.

Some people forget that if they camp then they CANNOT get to you if you also decide to camp. Additionally, longer games hurt your rewards per hour (less XP, points, potential cubelets per hour) compared to playing several fast games.

I like how you have an idea to combat camping, but I was thinking of another solution. What about we have the islands gradually shift towards the center of the map or safe bridges automatically built after a long time?

Look at how the community replied, but i did not think of the moving island thing

Before we start, not that this only applies for normal mode only.

We all know what camping is and most of us just hate it. We know it takes forever to just get to that team or plsyer, kill, then break their egg. My simple solution is to add an Armageddon mode. Basically what this is, is at a certain time, the shop gains better pickaxes, cheaper blocks (except obsidian), and an epeal in miscallaneous.

I would recommend the time to 30 minutes, during that time, players have a choice to vote for Armageddon mode. If the majority of players vote, the game turns into Armageddon mode. If the playersame don't vote, the vote comes every 10 minutes until the hour which then it starts automatically.

What happens? The shop gains 2 items. In the pickaxes section, the shop gains a diamond pick with eff 8 for 64 diamonds. The misc section gains an epeal for 64 diamonds. This is only to keep camping down. Comment below if you have something to add or any questions.

I like it, but sadly there is a lot of bull-dejecta drama around it, here's my word on it: (warning huge text wall)

Yeah apparently this community seems to love camping, just look at how they replied here: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/add-enderpreals-to-normal-eggwars.102153/#post-470149

This is not necessary. I hate campers, but just build a safe bridge to the team or you could suggest:

Bridge Building!
What this basically do is creating bridges to all the islands and they can not be destroyed. This could be added 20min in game. And it shows up in chat like:
Bridge Building starts in 1 minute.
3
2
1
etc

This would reduce the campers.

The solution to camping is launching your self with TNT :P

 

[Spyridon Agnew Dragon]

Campings allowed unless its skybasing, as for safebridges yes you can do that unfortnetly if the enemy has either a punch or power bow it can be annoyingly difficult, if its eggwars op mode or skywars you can just epeal instead

You can't. Is does no knockback to yourself. (eggwars)

Camping is a strategy, but it's cancerous to the game. There is one reason and one reason only to camp, to ruin the game for others.

In a way it actually is they dont permit skybase camping

I mean, some campers eventually win.

Yes they do, but base camping is just as bad imo.

 

[RockBob4]

I don't like this. Just build a giant bridge in the sky and most of the time they don't even see you. I kind of like the idea of the unbreakable bridges, but I'm not sure. There are plenty of ways to beat campers. I will admit it takes time.

Hackers and crossteamers win too, what's your point?

I mean, they campers aren't cheating (unless in the rules it says otherwise. It's not against a rule to camp in Eggwars). I camp too, if someone has full diamond and I have Iron. Going into a direct fight is just suicide. I camp until I'm decently geared, and then try killing him/her.

 

[Pandrai]

I don't like campers, I think its stupid, but its also part of the game. Campers are what makes the game about strategy, my friends and I usually build underneath their islands for bance

 

[CptSwollhouse]

Sorry, but it's not against the rules to camp, and I am one of the players who prefers longer games, which would be destroyed with the Armageddon rule. I also love a long game with a single camper.. Figuring out how to get to their island and destroying them is half the fun of Eggwars ;)

That's not camping though, camping is when you completely isolate yourself with no intention of leaving your island. If you stay at your island to get gear you aren't camping, you're just getting geared up, big difference.
