How to fix the turret tower problem

[Qin Shihuangdi]

Anyone who's played tower defense since the recent update knows that turrets are ridiculously overpowered. However, I'm worried if Cube nerds the turret it's gonna be useless like it was before. So, here's an alternative way to fix it.

In vanilla Minecraft, endermen can't be hit by projectiles. Let's take advantage of this in tower defense!

My first thought of fixing the turret tower problem was making it cost much more or decreasing its damage, but this is so much better.

Finally a creative, simple to implement, ingenious fix!

 

[ChasingRainbows]

I like this idea! Now to come up with something to make giants less awful.

:D

The price* is kinda rigged

Well its the only troop apart from spiders that I think has a chance of getting past the turret tower.

By sending 1 to 3 full waves of level 5 magma cubes (slimes), you can still win even if the opponent has 20 turrets. They will kill the first form easily, but then they will multiply so fast the whole track will be filled with red goo. The turrets can only target 2 mobs at once, so they will quickly be overwhelmed. Trust me, it works, I've won around 10 games with them in desperate situations. You will need someone to send you money though, for they are very expensive. I've still managed to solo it though with regen potions. Send a full wave of level 2 slimes first for the EXP. (Surprisingly enough slimes have good coin/EXP ratio).

The price has hyper-inflation because each level is a lot better than the rest

I like the concept though (yet I don't really understand the price of it), but maybe the Enderman should have something like a teleport ability as it really suits them. And if that's the case, they should also be invulnerable for mage towers since they will teleport a bunch if they get hit by fire

To go along with this one of my suggestions earlier in the month suggested a new mob and one of the traits was a new perk mobs could have and that was evasion, a chace at evading a towers attack plus your idea with an enderman could balance everything out, however how would endermen react to the shulkermancer?

dunno, test it out

 

[Twann]

Yesss!!
I really love this idea! :D

This is ̶n̶o̶t̶ a shameless filthy bump

This is a great suggestion! This will work but keep in mind this would probably be hard to do because when the endermen are shot they teleport away. So +1 but it will probably be hard to make the minecraft java code different. Unless you have a draconic bow, you cant shoot endermen.

I've seen other servers do it. (Mainly the one with player counts similar to cubecraft's and which ends with the letter x). When the endermen are shot by an arrow, they instantly teleport back, which is actually a nice visual effect.

The draconic bow is from the draconic evolution mod right?

I think it is a interesting idea. lets see if cubecraft do it or not

 

[bowpro]

It is a veeeerry good idea.
finally someone is thinking about this.
Yes we really need troops that are immune to projectiles.
I played Tower defense some time ago, and I was so angry, because an other player placed those towers down EVERYWHERE.
Also, every troop I was sending, got killed by this tower.

Try sending level 5 slimes.
