Blockband Is Back

[Komodо]

Ever since the game came out, I've never really liked it. Not sure if there are too many people out there who like Guitar Hero, and most players in Cube probably find it as a bore. It's better to cut the game off and make new ones. You can add all these things, but the concept of the game is still unappealing.

So you want me to explain why I think none of these ideas would really bring more popularity to the game? I'm not saying these are bad ideas, but I personally don't think the community is interested. I can explain why the ideas aren't really going to be a big hit, but in the end, I think it's better to let Blockband go.

Than let's compare paintball in Arcade, before the update, to Blockband. Paintball still managed to get more players even though the game got repetitive. That's because people prefer it over Blockband. I tip my hat off to you for making this thread. It expresses your appreciation for Blockband, but I have a different view on Blockband.

What I'm trying to prove is the sentence you didn't include in the quote. People prefer Paintball (and most of the other games) over Blockband. Although the game mode of Paintball was repetitive after a while, it still got more players than Blockband. Why? Because the game isn't really something people wanted.

Could you please stop comparing blockband to other games? He defenitely told us not to do that. That you don't like a game, doesn't mean other people don't like it. Paintball got updated, Blockband didn't. This is basically an update of blockband, why wouldn't you agree with that? And btw, you're just like most of the others, you want cubecraft to remove old and golden games, which are full of bugs, since they didn't receive a freakin' update. (I agree blockband has never been that popular) And then, replace them with memeplex/memepixel-like ripoffed games which i personally don't like. Sure, go ahead, but that seems really annoying to me.

Amazing job bro.

Cheers,

Just saying to the 4 of you who voted no and didn't explain why you very well do need to for your votes to count... and for the 1 who just basically just said blockband sucks read the beginning of the extra note at the beginning of the message saying blockband is terrible the way it is right now doesn't help that is the same as me saying the party system would be a terrible waste of time to add because I wouldn't use it ever so nobody would
or like saying eggwars should never have updated and added speed eggwars because I liked eggwars was a good game before they added something that has no effect on normal eggwars it doesn't make sense

Well I'm trying to offer criticism, but you don't seem to get it. I'll admit, I've never liked that game. I know some people might like the game, but how many? I did notice that Jollow asked for other reasons why I don't like his idea. But that's rather limiting. He doesn't like those kind of arguments because they often don't go into depths about it. But did I do that? If you bother to actually go through every sentence I wrote, you'll notice I said the ideas aren't bad. I've also taken into account that this is a suggestion for updates. Yet, I've also mentioned why I don't think the updates will bring back players. Don't know what you were trying to prove, but: Calling me out as a person who wants all the old game to be remove is kinda weird. People, stop living in the past please. You may be old in the server, but that doesn't mean you're entitled to anything. This server is trying to maintain it's position as 'one of the largest Minecraft servers.' So if we keep things that aren't really popular. Go ahead, and see what happens. Dunno how you can call Blockband an old and golden game. When was it golden? When it was released? For how long? It hasn't been too long since it was released. You agreed the game isn't popular, so I don't understand how you can say that. :p

I haven't once mentioned what games I want Blockband to be replaced with. Neither have I mentioned any other games that are from other server. That's just an assumption you made, most likely after categorizing me as a person who wants to get rid of the golden games of Cubecraft.

I'll also let you know, so you don't assume anything again, that I haven't bother to vote yet.

Just saying to the 4 of you who voted no and didn't explain why you very well do need to for your votes to count... and for the 1 who just basically just said blockband sucks read the beginning of the extra note at the beginning of the message saying blockband is terrible the way it is right now doesn't help that is the same as me saying the party system would be a terrible waste of time to add because I wouldn't use it ever so nobody would
or like saying eggwars should never have updated and added speed eggwars because I liked eggwars was a good game before they added something that has no effect on normal eggwars it doesn't make sense

Guess I'm the one. I'll say it out loud, Blockband sucks. The developers did a nifty job. But I still don't like the game.

So you made an interesting analogy. Thing is, Eggwars was already popular before the update. Blockband? Not so much. People wanted party system, do they really want Blockband updates?

~

For those who seem to think of me as a person who likes to get rid of old and golden games of Cubecraft, think through it logically. The concept of the game isn't appealing.

Unappealing game -> Unpopular -> Updates -> No one plays. -> More updates -> No one plays. -> Waste of time.

Now, if you want me to make it even more simpler: If Cube was to add every ideas or things people like, then the whole server will become a mess. Kind of like why there isn't two president. One side always becomes the majority.

EDIT: Hey, I decided to vote no, and reason? Read everything.

Okay so I feel like we all agree blockband is dead however that doesn't mean that it will always be dead
This is a suggestion about how Blockband could be brought back (With a lot of new modes)
There will be multiple changes to the game for this suggestion as well as some new additions to it and maybe more than just it so let's just hop right into it
Note: If you disagree with all of them you have to explain why or else your vote cannot count and I don't like/play/want blockband isn't a valid reason I hate to have to put this here but everytime I make a suggestion with none of the above as an option even when I say explain why there are always votes for it when nobody explained anything

Small Changes & Additions

• New themes - So right now there are 6 themes and 5 ranks can buy with Vanity points, 6 is a small number and I personally think more than 6 would be great to bring it back. Some examples are an old time diner theme (referencing Jazz) or a DJ set with everyone's favourite DJ @Buuuddy (referencing more modern music)
• Only accurate notes play - okay so if you've ever played the game and been terrible like me maybe you have had problems with your playing
  Spoiler: Video

  I personally find that it playing notes when I get it wrong messes me up when it comes to beat wise especially when you are listening to the actual music at the same time. My suggestion here is to only play notes when you hit the right note
• A leaderboard - I don't think I need to explain why so yeah, it's just to see the top players there are in the whole game
• New titles - Okay so currently if you hit tab you will see [your name here] the rockstar. So that's it we can't be anything else? I am suggesting have other titles you can purchase with (vanity) points for titles like: DJ, Pop star, Jazz man, and more
• /Pause, /Play, and /Skip - Okay so imagine you are about to 3 star a really hard level than the blocks start lagging okay instead of just being screwed you know what you could do? you would be able to do /pause which will pause you in your song so you don't get screwed over and /play which continues a song after it is paused. /Skip will skip the song you are on in case you didn't mean to join in

New Modes

• 1v1 mode - This would be a huge new addition to the game where you can go into a certain place and challenge players to a 1v1 game of Blockband where the highest score wins (You can't gain anything like stars from these duels but you can win experience) you can also chose any of the modes after this one to do 1v1.
• Bass mode - Okay so you may be thinking "what is base mode jollow?" to that I say a different way to play using a different instrument. Right now you are playing guitar when you normally play but what if there were also a bass. Okay so the Base is similar to the guitar for this but instead it has another string this string comes in your 4th hotbar slot and it is orange here is a small version of what it might look like View attachment 133768This bass will also have a 7th which comes before orange when you get to the last song on this mode the string would be pink and it only appears on the last level for hard songs in this mode only

• Piano mode - Okay similar to the base mode it is supposedly using a different instrument this time it is a piano and it that is also very different. Piano is a different type all together here is a small representation of what it would look like (but much bigger)View attachment 133761how you play this game type is by hitting the note blocks at the right time to score more points this mode also comes with it's own custom settings you can also chose to have buttons on them if you want (chances are the note blocks will move a block further apart) this game type would make for a more exciting and movement based game. since it is movement based though you do have speed 1.

• Mirror mode - This mode is basically the same as normal except the colours of clay in your hand are in the opposite order while the board stays the same way it is. Basically instead of both the board and the colours of clay in your hotbar being ordered 'yellow, blue, red, green, brown' only the board is ordered 'yellow, blue, red, green, brown' but the clay colours in your inventory are ordered 'brown, green, red, blue, yellow' like this (but bigger)View attachment 133770
• Blindness mode - In this mode you have blindness but lucky for you the blocks have the glowing effect, the glowing effect will give all blocks a certain colour either yellow, blue, red, green, or brown there will also only be 1 row so the colour that you press is determined on the colour of the glow in the block
• Lava floor mode - okay now this mode is actually like lava floor basically it is lava floor mixed in with Piano mode blockband the ground will turn yellow, orange, red if you fall you are above in a glass cage for 3 seconds if you step off of a block it turns back to brown

Custom songs
Okay for this addition the name says it all. with an obsidian rank you can do make a max of 3 (emerald has 2 and stone rank+ with 1). Now unfortunately, you can't use these for 1v1s in this suggestion (to avoid any problems) what you can do however is make your own songs for you to play through by yourself this would be mainly for the fun of it and it works out perfectly for everyone. (you don't gain anything like points, experience, or cubelets) from these obviously

Tell me what you think
Also once again you can't say that this game will never be fixed as an excuse to say no

"why not replace it with something we like"
This is why people flipped out at the return of UHC saying it was terrible
because players are so descriptive in what they want added

I'm saying like a game that's super popular amongst the community that would give us some traction

you brought up some actual reasons why you wouldn't want to see an update they just said it was a bad game and didn't say anything about a new update

I'm not entitled at all. I just don't get why so many people hate the game. I just really like it and when a lot of people say they don't like a game, it basically means a remove. Maybe i read something wrong, and you could be right at some points, but i was talking about the overall. Everything is just getting worse... Also, I'm not very handy at making things clear, but you didn't get my point all... You should just respect the thing that other people like other games. But Hey, who am I? At least, i can say, im happy i've known the old cube and you didn't! Good night!

Well, I assumed it was me. Two people have pointed out why my argument isn't needed, so I assumed. But my point stands.

@komododragon 2002

You like the game, your opinion. But on the marketing level, Blockband, is a waste.

Actually the reason I was arguing with you is because I didn't understand your logic if you haven't noticed I stopped arguing with you

I think blockband has reached it's ceiling and it's time put it in a little wooden boat, set it on fire, and push it into the ocean. Cubecraft has a limited about of resources to go around (builders, devs, etc) and the more they put into blockband the less they have to put into other projects. The problem with blockband is it doesn't have any zing. There's no action, no strategy, the music quality if severely limited because Minecraft, it's a fundamentally flawed game, they can update blockband all hey want but it won't fix the flaws in the basic principle of the game.

[PleaseReferToMyRealSelf]

This is a good idea, although, if it doesn't work.... I really think Blockband should be removed by a vote. If this works I might change my mind though.

Let it go. I dont believe in saving it. If you are still persistant on it then get popular songs on it . C418s songs dont suit the guitar hero feel . They arent adrenaline pumping , theyre more calm

well 1. Copyright
2. it may not feel like adrenaline pumping fast, because the game is just hitting different keys if you didn't notice moving is actually more interesting
I have that on here

 

[Simbaaa]

I think the reason blockband is dead is cause the idea of the game isn't very fun. Therefore, I feel adding new modes to the game won't make abbey big difference
