Yes, but your reasoning still stands on the "if" portion, if you're successful, but if you're not, then that pickaxe is as good as nothing. I do not disagree with ya on the portion that you could sneak in there and break their egg in a heartbeat if you had the best pick, I'm just saying that "if" you're caught doing so, don't really think you can break the Obsidian in that "heartbeat" 'if' you're being attacked.I do not believe that obsidian price changes are conductive of decent gameplay. Obsidian is not hard to break. All you need is a decent pickaxe. It's reasonably priced in all game modes, including overpowered, and - as mentioned - the point of overpowered is that items have crazily cheap values. People might put hundreds of blocks of obsidian on their base, sure, but if you can successfully eliminate everyone and block yourself in, it's easy. The maxed pick literally breaks obsidian in a heartbeat.
Your reason is 10/10, I can't really disagree, except for one perspective, you kinda forgot to add to this equation. If you're the player being rushed, of course, you don't have any idea this is happening and gather all your resources, and are about to head to mid. But before doing so you look to your side or see that it said "your egg died", then you have a small chance at heading to their base, and getting their egg and doing everyone in the game a favor. However, half the time you die before even getting there, but more than often, you reach their egg, and without doubt, it's more likely already covered in Obsidian. "If" we're going based on the TEA PARTY MAP.I don't think you know what you're talking about.
If you speed bridge to an island, the enemies won't even have enough time to get 10 gold ingots, let alone 25.
You can speed bridge with 48 blocks in under 20 seconds.
Let's say you spawn, use your money bags kit to buy blocks (15 iron ingots x 3) that's 45 blocks, and then go to the side of your island and start bridging over. Let's say it takes you 5 seconds to buy your items and get to the side of your island, and 20 seconds to bridge over (Assuming you use all 45 blocks, most maps people rush in only require 20-30)
That's 25 seconds to reach the enemys base.
Now lets take a look at the obsidian perspective, you spawn in, takes you 3 seconds to reach the gold generator, you get 5 gold, now it takes 5 seconds for each gold piece to spawn, since it's a level 1 generator. You already have 5 pieces, and you need 10 more to buy the 5 obsidian for your egg. 5 x 10 = 50 seconds. 50 seconds. The defender has to wait FIFTY SECONDS before they can buy the obsidian they need. You're telling me it takes you more than fifty seconds to rush?
Then that's not rushing, that's called taking your time then whining when the enemy has obsidian.
Lets even look at tea party, the biggest map on tea party. Let's say it takes them 4 seconds to reach the generator, the level 2 gold generator gives 7 gold upfront, then it'll take them 3.5 seconds for each gold piece, since they need 8 more pieces, it will take 28 seconds (8 x 3.5 = 28) By the time they reach the shop keeper it would have been 36 seconds. 36 seconds for them to be able to buy 5 obby. I know for a fact you can buy blocks, speed bridge to your neighboring island in LESS than 36 seconds, so you can literally rush other people ON TEA PARTY.
My solution towards the problem helps balance the game mode compare to others, as far as rushing, that ultimately comes down to the "players decision", I'm not here telling, "Hey rushing is the only way to win if you don't rush you won't win", I'm simply suggesting, that if the price were to increase it kinda gives you a perspective where you gotta think more about it like. Would it be wise for me to rush or prioritize getting that protective layer over my egg, if I do rush I basically create a liability, that becomes an asset to someone else who will potentially/more likely use this to get my egg. I do agree, tho, it does change people's playstyle, more so towards people who enjoy rushing this game. Why should other people have to suffer wasting their time and efforts just for someone else's enjoyment?One of the solutions you propose by changing the price of obsidian from 3 gold to 5, is that it encourages people to rush mid. So essentially what you're doing, is forcing people to play a certain playstyle. You're forcing people to rush mid, not everyone likes rushing, some people like to enjoy and take their time while playing egg wars.
Um, are you ah stupid? Where exactly did I complain about people, getting a lot of Obsidian? If I recall correctly, I simply stated that getting Obsidian can be obtained easily as the price remains. As for the part where it should be an issue, I mean I'm not making it an issue, rather you are? Since you and your friends, if you consider them friends, are posting my thread everywhere and asking them to downvote it, because you're afraid that it may change your game style of playing rather than everyone else. You think this would ruin the game, as made mentioned by your colleagues here...You're also complaining how it is unfair that people get to have a lot of obsidian on the egg, it takes 5.5 seconds with the 5Gold Pickaxe to break 1 obsidian. This is nowhere near an issue, and shouldn't be treated like one. You don't know what you're talking about, you only want to make the game easier for yourself without thinking about others.
Onik what you want changed is literally going to ruin eggwars. Also don't call me baby like wtf
This idea is so terrible I can't get over it. One thing I've learned is you can't fix stupid and guess what ur stupid
Yet surprisingly you act as if you're not friends, yet surprisingly you "like" each others posts, and make mention of them to add to your reasoning...So I care to say are we really the silly gooses here, or are you and your bunches of friends who have been coming onto the forums just to downvote a thread that affects their game playstyle really the silly gooses here? But you know what rather than blocking you/ignoring you, I am quite grateful you made my thread public, it at least has gotten more attention than what I was expecting it to receive. But, Hey looking at it from the bright side, at least there will be more members in this community, and we can hopefully come to a consensus where both sides can give their opinions towards the topic, and potentially determine what may be good or bad for the server.Also, who is 'you guys'? You don't know if I know these people. Silly goose!
Anyways, all drama and toxic acid players aside...
Thanks for your opinion, I understand your reasoning. Also thanks, for trying to help out, I'd just ignore these "silly gooses" they'll be gone after this thread gets closed/locked or potentially implemented, if one can hope so. <3PS: I voted no because I think the obsidian price is balanced right now.
