Java CubeCraft should quit the hollering and bring back CubeCraft

[Jesse<3]

I know Blockwars is a featured game, but screw that. I want it full time. Also, why can't you pick your own skywars map anymore, I get that it may encourage people to buy ranks, but you cant join any map of which there is no active server, so its pretty much useless. Why is this? Cubecraft used to be so good.

You're saying:
- "I want to be able to choose a map"
- "Being able to choose a map is useless"

Why do you want to be able to choose a map when "it's useless"? I don't get it

I believe @Elivat already said this before. Blockwars was pretty much dead apart from its peaks before it became a featured game. Now that it had became a featured game, the popularity increased a lot and that’s why it should stay like that. Making it permanent again would result in a decrease of members that are playing it at the same time.

This is because there can’t be servers of every game online all the time. This will result in games not filling up entirely. By limiting the online servers for games, it’ll fill up faster and result in new maps, included the ones you want to play.

I would like to point out that what I said is true in relation to the total player count. The more the players, the less accurate my statement is. But as I said before in another thread, I don’t know how much is enough to be able to support another game mode, and that’s entirely on management’s hands.

I think there is some toxicity here,it's that true (I didn't read anything from here)

Sadly I was wrong :c

What she is trying to say is that even if stone rankers had the ability to choose maps, there would be no point because theres no servers for those maps

If that's the case, it's positive that only rankers can choose maps.

If BlockWars shows that it has a large enough player base to support it being a full time game, we'll obviously review it as we have done in the past with other featured games. As of right now, BlockWars (either flavour of it) is not the most popular featured game, but that doesn't mean we aren't going to continue to review the situation.

As for the ability to select maps, this is possible, as a ranked player you right click on your chosen game instead of left click, this will then bring up the map options available. Yes, that does mean that this is a perk locked behind a rank, there are precious few things that can be monetised while staying within the constraints of the EULA, this is one of those and we've made Iron rank cheaper so that getting access to this perk is easier than ever, especially when ranks are on sale.

Edit: I should probably clarify a little on the current best performing featured games... BattleZone (admittedly it's new) -> Survival Games -> Wing Rush -> BlockWars Core

If you ever bring it back please don’t bring it back together with core. There’s a huge amount of people who don’t like core but still play it because it’s the most remotely close thing to CTF.
People like me only ever play core to continue to get more bw wins or to have some fun with my friends. During the time when BlockWars was still a permanent game, core games were almost impossible to start, because people don’t really like that game mode. It’s horribly boring to have to break a block of wool 25 times while spawn killing the enemy.
Plus it would be better for CTF to not have a second game mode that deviates attention from the main one.

Yep, aware of the CTF vs Core thing :)

I know, I have a Diamond rank. The point I'm trying to make is that the ability to choose maps is useless, as you cant choose the map you want if theres no server for it open, which defeats the purpose of a rank
My Minecraft account is xGrind btw.

Keeping 1 of each map open for every game constantly just isn't feasible, the result of trying to do that would mean that games would start a lot slower than currently and some may not start at all. The playing experience would be terrible, something that we'd like to avoid. I appreciate that your favourite map may not always be available for selection but we have to strike a balance between the convenience of being able to choose your map with the play experience of having games start quickly.
