Java Improving Battle Zone

[Foxy011]

Hi, so I know this is a newly released game so it isn't going to be perfect, but I have some ideas that may improve the game:

The lag: Yeah this is a big one, I think the first thing that needs fixing is the lag at the beginning and sometimes during the game which makes the game temporarily unplayable. (Those of you who have played know what I mean).

Kits: I think adding kits that you can buy would be a good idea, or let everyone start with a weapon such as a pistol. Many people spawn in and they are unable to find a weapon due to not finding a chest or a chest has been already taken. I think letting everyone start with a type of gun (nothing too op) would be good. But then again, kits could be added instead that you can buy - just like you can in other games.

Add more chests/balance them out: From my personal experience I find it difficult to find chests as they are dotted around the map quite far apart. But then again, in other parts such as the beach area there are like 3 chests all together. I think the chests need to be evened out a bit more due to the reasons explained.

Teams: I think teams should be added to this, and I do believe teams are going to be added. It would be nice to add duos and squads at the most. Any team larger than a squad (team of 4) is too large. This also makes no excuses for teamers in solo that I have come across a lot.

That's basically it, I know Cubecraft are going to be making improvements to this game as it is new, but I thought I'd share some ideas. :)

I guess they're already working on it, I mean, the lag is insane

Yes

Yes, there are too many teamers. It would be nice to have a team mode

Teams would be cool... We're looking to fix the lag issues (there's only so much we can do with this, we're forcing Minecraft do do things it was never meant to :D ).

I only don’t like the idea of kits. The players who play a lot will simply have a little advantage because they’re able to buy the best weapon immediately. Also, I’d definitely like to see some more chests spreaded around the map, but I don’t want like 10 chests on every hill. That’s why you have certain places in the maps with a lot of chests.

I get what you mean with the chests, but there is a counter argument as well. Having locations on the map that are known to have more resources available will draw more players to those locations and create little fights around them. It's one of the ways the game tries to bring players together, the very obvious world border being another.

These (gameplay) suggestions are horrible, evening out chests will makw the games like SG; cities are supposed to have more weapons to lure more players so they all die fast. Going elsewhere to avoid fights is strategic.

Kits are a good way to ruin the game, spawning with a pistol and shooting everybody as soon as you land isnt fun at all, for the people using the kit, and the people who die to the kit user.

In the last few games I’ve played I have seen an improvement with the lag, not sure if this is just random though. :D[/QUOTE]

Hmm, I do get what you mean actually, but just thoughts :D

That is actually very true

Very true.

Yup @rubik_cube_man worked hard on improving the Pig Plane today so it’s performing much better!

I think as far as kits go we’re not looking to add them in the immediate future. We might add on extras such as more inventory space (like a backpack) or something...

As for more chests I think as more areas are added over time you’ll find more places to get resources. We placed them over the map so that you would have to move and explore.

Keep the suggestions coming it’s fun reading them all!

Really like this backpack idea at first glance (it won't be too usefull for weapons as people won't be saving inferior weapons in their inventory if they find better ones, it could be nice to keep a stash of potions in, if you would want this to be valuable for weapon storage aswell i would personallly advise adding in more types of weapons)

Also what about a rocketlauncher weapon? A tiny bit more variety (mainly as in more damaging) in melee weapons and lastly: what about grenades? Hmmmm?

I like all of the ideas (and pretty sure they're working on the lag and teams) and also have some kit ideas:
Builder:
Starts with 3 builds worth of stone and 1 build worth of metal
and other than that just have them spawn with a low quality weapon i don't actually have any good kit ideas
