So, keeping this topic short. So you won't have to read an essay that I was about to make this as in the first place.
Nowadays, - if not since then EggWars got this update (Where the colored armor, blocks, etc) came from I've been all disappointed how the game looks like currently, and what its mechanics are.
To clarify this a bit, let me explain myself;
EggWars is, and used to be a strategy- pvp game with multiple strats to play as. - Now it seems like the game has gotten way less possibilities than it used to have, which is sad because now you can read your opponent way easier because they can't build under the islands anymore. They can't disguise as enemy's armor, - they can't build using the normal glass, which normally effected you to being more invisible like when building to enemy's base.
The update that removed such strategies, - Believe or not, has gotten the game way easier. And I don't like it, because it's supposed to be a strategy game after all.
This is how I see it now;
You can either stack at mid for as long you want to, or you can just rush to the islands.
Rushing to the islands usually is the same, and in my opinion it doesn't need a lot of thinking to get to opponent's base in the late game - Since enderpearls are now here. You can just get the best pickaxe in the game, enderpeal to the isle with your team and fight for the win. Punch bows and such stuff can't help here if you straight pearl to the island, and what I see it as is that the enderpearls are too cheap for the perspective how effective they're at the end. (EDIT: I'd recommen it to be twice as expensive. Perhaps current value in OP mode and 2 stacks in normal. Idc about HC)
EggWars although still has few strategies to use; But the fact is that the strats you get yourself to the opponents island have gotten a lot of less, and as well enderpearl is pretty easy to prepare to. (EDIT: By far it seems like in the late game ONLY way to get to the island without being noticed and shot is the pearl)
- And you see the players that build above with dark red glass and you can just shoot them down. - Blue and Light Blue team has an advantage because their glass is the same color as the sky is, so their blocks are harder to notice. - This is unfair for the other teams.
So here goes my first improvement; And it's that EggWars should remove colored team glass and return the normal glass for the block selection instead. - This doesn't get the teams thats color is easy to detect in the sky unfair. Of course you still see the armor of the players, but if you try to sneak- build to opponent's base they won't see the blocks that easily that slow by slowly gets near the base. - Hopefully you got the point.
Now as I before talked about the build limit. - How you can't build under to islands anymore, and how you can't perhaps build such in heights anymore that you used to being able to.
- This, good people, is one of the reasons why EggWars lets people that are new having a higher chance to win the game because they can see where their opponent moves without losing eyes on him. (EDIT: Not like it's a bad thing. But I tried to point out that EggWars doesn't need anymore the same amount of skill and knowledge that it used to give) - You can prepare for the enderpearl after couple of games, and you just can see the glasses that really notably aren't camouflaged in the sky - And that aren't that high anymore due the update. - So everyone that has played at least a bit can see your blocks in the sky, and they camps on the island waiting for the pearl. - There are few rare cases where straight building can get you to the enemy - If you bring obsidian with you to making some parts of the bridge unbreakable for a bit.
Of course, if this feature would be put back, that you're able to build where ever inside a map you want to, would make camping under the island a lot of more common. - But I see this as a tiny issue, because-
A; You can just build to where your enemy is and watch out with your place if they has a bow.
B; If Cube adds explosive bows that works as TNT you can't hold yourself limitless in an obsidian barricade because explosions breaks your armor. After all; When you lose your egg it's YOUR TEAM'S fault, so that off to count that it will be unfair if the last guy camps under the island when you don't have the egg anymore. - Camping is a strategy. - However, not mine and perhaps not many people favorite.
I as well know that currently camping in unreachable spot (Where you basically camp under at the height level you currently are able to build) is banable. - So what would of course makes this improvement to became fair, is to remove the rule that camping in EggWars should be banable.
So my second improvement goes on here;
- Make it able to build in where ever height you're able to. So in other words said making building under allowed and featured again - Because this is a strategy to build to the opponent, and in my opinion it belongs to a strategy game. - You can do this in SkyWars, however not in Eggy for some reason. - It as well seems much more realistic that you're able to build under the islands, because making it unable is against to the EggWars whole idea to being stealthy and getting the eggs for the advantage. - The whole idea you can't build that low is so stupid imo.
- Make explosive bows a thing, that you perhaps can buy with diamonds, if camping is decided to be allowed.
- Not allowed to camp in egg still, or making it allowed, I don't really care about it. - But making it featured to build under again as said above. - So what I meant here is that if you're able to build under again - However you can't stay there for long, or it will be considered as camping that'll be banable. I really respected this strat in EggWars and liked it much.
Talking about the colors now in armor, and I actually see this pretty fun so let me give my vision of this.
- I once was in a game of Rome before the color update, that apparently aren't that popular map anymore. Not talking about the map itself, but instead of the strategy I noticed in Egg through that map; And it's that I somewhat succeeded to get enemy's armor and got to buy stuff without them even noticing I was there, in the enemy's island. - Then just went and got the egg peacefully.
What I meant as a vision here, is that that would be pretty cool if you're able to wear other team's armor and use it as an advantage in building, or getting to the island. - So you're having a different armor than your team has, but your name is still displayed as your team's color. - You could only obtain enemy's armor if they have put some in the chest, or if they have dropped some. - So you can't buy them, but collect them if you pass by. Of course I meant leather armor.
This was just a small improvement. But the thing is, would it really hurt the game if this is put back in? Not up to me.
Here are my improvements for this time. Hopefully you got some agreements as I did, and make sure to leave feedback if you have same or different opinions about this. - Of course they're all same as valuable.
And btw; I suggested to revamp the map Area51 and Minions but it's been nearly, if not yet 2 years without any sign of them.
Minions, unfortunately was said that it isn't going to be added back. But @Efcluke94 said it as a positive chance to revamp and put Area51 back in. So just reminding here if that got forgotten.
And please; Add glowstone back. Cool block.
- peace and have a great day
