Almost all of the new games that CubeCraft has added in the past 2-ish years has been removed. Money Walls, Control Point, the game that copied Master Builders, who knows if and when Skyblock and/or factions are coming back... What's next? The original CubeCraft games is what brought players to CubeCraft. I'm not saying never add anything new, but why remove all of the old? If the old is working and players like it, why make such a big change?

Surely they don't need to run on the new system. Just keep them the way that they were?
@Tacosbefriends Isnt this a great solution?? Look to our opinions and the poll. Everyone wants it back.
We know how to stay patient. We waited 2 years for a Party System, 1 year for Creative and we're still waiting for Parkour, Faction, Skyblock etc.
So for the next time: Finish everything before release!
Bring back the old Arcade games!

After testing out the new games, I will have to agree with this. Arcade would have worked better without this massive revamp.
Even though some of the new games are fun, they don't have the same feeling as the old games. The arcade was, for me, a place to come and play quick, fun and simple games. Some of the games there were really fun. Imo, they were, in their simplicity, better than most new ones. Take TNTrun. It was about running, jumping and making sure not to fall down. Simple. Now, with the new layer spleef, a mix of other similar games have also been added. The result of this is just a massive mess. There's no need to fix anything that isn't broken. The spleef would have been better if this was added as a new mode. We already had a few that let us select what we preferred, so why not just add another one like that?
The next game on the list is Paintball. This is one of the few games I like the update to. However, I have also noticed a gamemode was removed. Why did you remove the CTF part of it? It was a lot of fun, and had potential to get updated to something amazing. Another thing that needs a change is the spawn area. I have, on multiple occasions, been stuck in spawn because people have camped behind the walls, shooting into the spawn area. The spawn protection doesn't protect us enough to let us get out. Though, the positives outweigh the negatives. Good job on this one.
Ok, the next game is Barn Brawl. This is a game that might be fun for five minutes, but it gets boring quick. After less than a round of it, you get bored. There's not much more to be said here. Instead, I will go directly to the next game, Line Dash. It is a game that is oddly similar to Snowdown, a game I love. Though, it has become something that feels a little off. It might be that there are too many teams, or maybe the fact that you need a powerup to jump. Whatever it is, it's something that shouldn't be there.
Last but not least, Wing Rush. This one is fun, but I feel like a game like this should have more than two maps. It didn't even take me an hour to learn a strat that makes me win 4/5 times.
I would not like to see these games discarded. Some of them are still really fun. The thing I would do is simply adding the old arcade games as a Classic Arcade lobby. This would allow players to play the old games and the new ones. Just look at the numbers in the voting. They don't lie.

Agreed. Feels a lot like Call of Duty to me, so I'm a fan. I also like the new spleef, except that it isn't spleef.
Hello
I remember that @Snap had made a short suggestion: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/arcade-suggestion.190233/unread
What do you think?

Already posted here, but I post here too:
Hey, everyone. I'd like to make some things clear here to avoid some confusion and outrage. The newest arcade update not only brought us new games, but an entire new system with which to play them. A lot of backend stuff has been done that you guys won't see that enables us to have things like Mixed Arcade that quickly swaps games, as well as the instant-join lobbies you've probably seen when playing the new games. All of these games were developed with this feature in mind, and any new games we release will also be made with this system in mind.
Our older games like Quakecraft, Hide and Seek, etc. were not developed with this new system. They would be incompatible with the rest of the arcade, and would therefore need to be completely redone and rewritten to facilitate their addition to the arcade. As an avid fan of Quakecraft and the creator of Hour Glass's prototype, I am sad to see them go, but with the arcade revamped in such a way as it is now, I am incredibly optimistic at the prospect of new games being released and the potential to see old classics return, revamped and more awesome than before.

Couldn't you put them in a separate lobby, and give them a rotation/randomisation system?
Surely they don't need to run on the new system. Just keep them the way that they were?
Also, if you're going to revamp old games, I have a few ideas on Hide and Seek: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/how-to-bring-back-hide-and-seek.190247/#post-834725

It seems as if there is a massive argument with old games coming back and whilst I can see your points, arcade needed some sort of revamp. We decided to start by giving arcade five games. In the future, there may be updates to add more games.
In my opinion, the old arcade should be a thing on the 1.8 network.
This would fix many issues, including SCB kit balancing and also hide and seek. Plus, the old arcade games would come back for you guys to enjoy.

@Tacosbefriends Isnt this a great solution?? Look to our opinions and the poll. Everyone wants it back.
Like I've said before, you guys should have kept Arcade under maintenance till every game was compatible. Not just release a half finished Arcade. That is only creating outrage and confusion. People think the good games are gone. And they are (temporarily).
We know how to stay patient. We waited 2 years for a Party System, 1 year for Creative and we're still waiting for Parkour, Faction, Skyblock etc.
So for the next time: Finish everything before release!
Like seriously, there are 49 votes to bring back the old arcade and only 3 for no... Isn't it obvious from being on the server and seeing all of the threads, including this one, to bring back the old arcade that majority of CubeCraft wants the old Arcade back?
They aren't going to understand us, I don't think they can be bothered to bring it back. BUT, they will understand when they see after a few weeks that bar of anyone plays arcade. Cuz these games are literally stereotypical "minepl.x" games and if I wanted to play these, I'd rather go to another server.
Cuz although cubecraft may have brought "unique" games, these games cannot compete with the other servers with these mini games.
The older arcade games could and so would survive
