Implemented Bridge Cooldown

[Eli]

This suggestion was inspired by THIS thread by @smteesvsei. Very short and simple idea:

Don't allow players to use the 10 Block Bridge for the first 3 minutes of the game, so that they cannot rush to someone's island and break their egg in a matter of seconds.

Why? A lot of people have complained, and I myself have also been bothered by it. The 10 block bridge is extremely easy to use for rushing, and I really don't think teams should be getting eliminated within 30 seconds of the game starting. It of course is nice that the bridge allows for faster and more dynamic games, but in some cases you can get to your enemy's island with two bridges, and that's excessively fast.

(The 3 minute rule can be modified if anyone thinks it's too much time. What is important is actually having a cooldown)

Edit: Why not increasing the prices? To allow for these bridges to be used frequently for the rest of the game. The idea is that the structures become an important part of EggWars, not just another feature no one ever uses.

Perhaps make it so it has a cool down between uses too? 30 seconds between uses, for example

I agree, it is too easy to rush an egg in the new eggwars.

Maybe make the bridges a little longer and expensive?

I Agree! I was playing some Beta Egg Wars as well, the game just started it was like 20 seconds and my egg was already destroyed. Because of the mechanic bridge. (Or make it shorter then 10 blocks? for example 5?)

That's a good idea :)

I’d say don’t allow for first 2 minutes of the game and a 15 second cool down between uses.

I would definitely like to see some sort of cooldown. Though I indeed think 3 minutes is a bit too much. I think 1 minute would be perfect. Rushing will always happen in EggWars, but it shouldn’t be made that easy.

(Or make it shorter then 10 blocks? for example 5?)

5 blocks would be a waste of iron, especially for people who are able to speedbridge. A cooldown in the beginning of the game would be better. ;)

I agree with it being disabled for the first minutes, right now it's really easy to just get your egg destroyed almost instantly.
I also think that perhaps making it a bit more expensive would be great.

Great idea beta eggwars is now kinda like rush eggwars everyone is rushing each other in matter of seconds. So i agree. This will make the game more balanced and more fun:) so a +1 from me.

 

[Flqris]

Really good idea! It has happend way too many times that I just got instantly rushed. Hope this will get implemented into the game. +1

I think 3 minutes is a bit too long. I would personally make it 30 seconds. So it is still possible to rush, but not extremely fast.

Hi, I think it is good for using getting fast to the middle so then it will lose its potential, I think some auto bridge barrier between islands for the first 1 minute for example. (my discussion post went a much farther than I expected)

It would be nice to see that you can't use it in the first 2/3 minutes in the game, because it's too easy to rush now. However I don't agree with the cooldown since you will have a bridge of 10 blocks and then you would have to wait for 10/15 seconds to continue or you have to build yourself, but switching from an automatic bridge to a manual build bridge might be annoying. Maybe a bit more expensive would help since the automatic bridges are ovepowered.

I like this. I'm going to do something like this.
