Eggwars: Wood planks?

[KatsisVi]

Heyoo!

I was just playing some Eggwars with my friend when I realized the lack of blocks. I love obsidian for your egg and all but in overpowered efficiency VIII pickaxes are just too good!

I think we should add would planks. These could be incredibly overpowered, so maybe they cost gold? I don't know, but they should be way more expensive than hay bales.

Also, I know they have chests, but I think would planks would be slightly better.

Thanks!

I really despise wood for gameplay in EW.
It's already a pain going through chests, and I don't want to carry an extra axe in case of people spamming wood around.
I really don't want this to be a thing, as I know it'll be more annoying than useful.

Wood wouldn't be such a good idea. Yea Yea Ok it won't affect the game play. But you have enough choices. Sandstone/Glass for bridges and obsidian for defence and I don't really know where glowstone and Wheat exist. (Glowstone maybe for light) And wood would be useless because, What can you do with it?? Unless you can get a axe to break wood blocks easy.

It definitely has its uses, (Eggshell, cheap spleef proof bridge, blocking in while mining into an egg, etc.) but It definitely DEFINITELY will impact the gameplay by quite a bit.

Totally agree witg @Gainfullterror, I'm happy with the eggwars how it is now.
Wooden planks will ruin the game for me. Just because of that ^^.

I'm not so sure about this. I mean an axe can break wood way to easily so if you cover it to protect your egg.......its not gonna work. Also, I don't need to carry an extra axe like said above because those players who just.....spam blocks will cause a problem.

 

[KatsisVi]

I see your point, but if we made wood extra expensive? That would stop spam.

Higher price won't really fix the annoying properties & uses of wood in Eggwars. It can still happen despite the higher price.

Actually, there is a method to blocking up eggs with blocks that need axes to mine. Chests, they take even longer to break than planks with your bare hands, by half a second.

In normal mode, they cost 10 gold per chest, basically same as obsidian. However, mining obsidian with a diamond efficiency 3 pickaxe takes 4.2 seconds, while mining chests with your hand takes 3.5 seconds, so obsidian is still better than chests. Also, chests are not full blocks, meaning if you cover the egg in chests, you can still take out the egg by clicking between the chests.

In op mode, however, a player can mine obsidian in under a second with the best pickaxe, so chests are not as obsolete. Each obsidian costs 3 gold, while a chest costs 2. Therefore, it is sometimes a good strategy to place 2 layers of obsidian and then a layer of chests on top, for maximum protection. Note that players can still click through the crack of the chests, but almost none will ever do so. You may place 1 more layer of blocks on the chests to hide the chests, so that attackers do not realize the need for an axe when going on the offensive. This is especially good in late stage, as many players will have switched to sharpness 5 swords, and few will be using an axe.

Do not ever overload the number of blocks on your egg, though, as players can hide inside that fortress and make it hard for you to see if someone is mining your egg.

Yes book planks are a great idea!! On mc-central you have that And also wool, I think can we take that also?

 

[IonCortex]

This would just become like Bedwars but in a 1.9 version

 

[je_moederisbae]

You have plenty of choices there are already so many different blocks.
They should not add the wood it would not help so much.
Have a nice day!

If they add that, it would be stolen from hypixel.

 

[DanDaDino]

Hmm. As others have said before, this isn't really needed. I think we have enough blocks in egg wars, sorry -1

 

[Komodо]

It will make axes more reliable, since almost no one uses an axe. So I actually like it. However, I don't know the consequences for the overall game aspect.

True, but badwars is just bed.
(Not to mention that bedwars is stolen, too)

I think the game is well elaborated and that won't be suitable option. Good try thought:P:p

It's wooden planks you see. May I ask why do you think it's a good idea?

 

[GeldHaftige]
