CubeCraft SG - Trials of the Survivalist

[betty's oldies]

So far we have 4 people who have completed level 1. As per vinlir's suggestion, later challenges will rely less on RNG and more on strategy and skill. Next ones may have a timer and/or task you to manipulate enemies.

Level 2 will be posted today, September 2, at 11PM EST (approximately 21 hours from now).

Level 2 preview:
-Starting with this challenge, all kits are not allowed.
-You may be required to manipulate enemies in order to get unobtainable items.

Remember that you can post your videos here as well as on the official Discord. You can also discuss strategies, write feedback, and post your failed attempts here.

Level 2 has been posted a bit earlier. As we don't have many who have completed level 1, I've moved level 2 release date to now. All replays are under "challenge completed by."

I give up on the second challenge. This is the closest I got.



This challenge requires a huge amount of luck again. Even getting all the armor pieces and regular swords would be hard. But getting a Sharpness II sword would be rediculous. If anyone gets a Sharpness II sword they will definitely use it, so it won't be undamaged. So you'll have to find two Sharpness I swords and combine them on an anvil.

For me it was actually somewhat difficult not to take enchanted gear from chests out of habit. But that's an actual challenge, where I can change the outcome myself. So is not attacking people, it's not difficult, but it's possible to forget about it and ruin your run. Those are actually fun to do.

I'd rather have a longer list of rules like that making the actual gameplay more difficult than having a huge list of items I have to randomly get.

Changing it again. This time it'll be swords only. At the time I created it and played SG, I thought it was easy to get every set of armor. Turns out that I recall that it was easier to get the entire set of swords.

New change:
-Objective now asks you to obtain every sword (excluding wood).

I joined! Best of luck to all! I wish I was good at these games though. :)

-Objective is now "get every sword."

I'll try it again later then. Although It will probably still require some luck to get two enchanted diamond swords and levels to combine them or find someone that has one and doesn't use it.

Revised it again so it doesn't require you to get it enchanted. That's for a later challenge.

All right, we have one person who has completed level 2. Because not many have tried it yet, I'm considering releasing level 3 tomorrow and level 4 a couple days after.

Level 3 will be released on Saturday, September 9 at 11PM EST.

Preview:
-Timer between kills
-Crafting and cooking
-restricted to more specific gear
-essentially a bacca challenge but with added objectives, restraints, and conditions

 

[betty's oldies]

Level 3 has been posted. I couldn't warm up and start my run today, but I'll upload my attenpt next week. Level 4 will be up sometime next week.

 

[betty's oldies]

We're already halfway into the month and only 3 weeks are left for the event. I'll be releasing level 4 tonight at 11PM EST, level 5 on Tuesday at 11PM EST, and the omni level next Friday at 11PM EST.

Preview for level 4:
-Team game
-Requires a specific map
-All team members must survive
-Roleplay a wedding

EDIT: Challenge was uploaded Friday!

 

[betty's oldies]

Sorry for being a couple hours late. Level 5 has been posted.

I'll go ahead and give the preview for the omni level.

Preview:
-No objectives
-Inventory restriction like in level 5 but even fewer slots
-Time limit to beat the game
-No enchanted gear at all
-Essentially "realism" mode

The final challenge has been released under "obsidian - omni." As of posting this, there are 9 days left until the end of the event. A few reminders:

-The event ends on October 2nd, 11:59 PM EST
-You can still join the event
-You can partake in these challenges at any time (even after the event); however, ranking and points are given only during the event.

 

[betty's oldies]

As of posting this, the event is now closed. You can still play the challenges, but they will not count for points.

The event didn't fit my expectations. Given that, it's not likely I'll host another event like this in the future -- not many watched or joined as I expected. It was fun to host this event and watch people partake in it however.
