Java Layer Spleef Suggestion

[Sweetenerera]

Yes this is another change a featured game into a permanent one. But hear me out.
Currently, the gamemode list (Not counting featured games) is:
Tower Defence, Lucky Islands, Skywars, Eggwars, PvP, Mineware & Parkour.
Notice how none of these games are arcade games. That's why I suggest making Layer Spleef a permanent game. If not Layer Spleef, at least an arcade game. Because there are no arcade games atm.
And, bonus points! If you permanently add Layer Spleef, there's a spot open for a new Featured Game, which could perhaps be bingo? Many people really want Bingo to come back, so not only will you make arcade players happy, players who used to play Bingo will also be happy!
It's a win win situation really.

layer spleef is not so popular, I at least did not see it hits 60 players

Not that many arcade games are that popular. But as I said,

Deffinately gonna vote no. Not cause it sucks, but rather cause Arcade as a whole didnt go too well, almost every gamemode was dead and the only that could hit a considerable amount of players was Slime Survival, and it didnt get that many players anyways. Yes it may look like arcade games can be semi popular but they are not, being only avaliable for a short time is what makes them appealing and it should stay that way if we dont want to have a dead game.
And also you kinda base your opinion on "There are not enough non pvp games" which is actually false, we have 7 permanent games 3 of those are non pvp gamemodes so its clearly balanced since PvP appeals more to the public, and also we have featured games, where there are more non pvp games than pvp games, so yea, nothing wrong with balancing between pvp and chill.

Hmm, problem is arcade wasn't too successful. Well, it could still work though if management were to actually update it instead of focusing on the big games. I'll go for the 3rd option.

 

[Andyyy]

Problem with arcade games is that they are so simple that there is very little replayability for most people so most people end up playing them once or twice and end up getting bored

Let’s be logical here please, firstly Minerware is already an “arcade’’ themed game. We don’t need more of those, also could we take a second to look at the numbers:

Layer Spleef is... surprisingly very unpopular, other games get over 100 players when the server is at 1k players in total. This is not viable at all, if we were being reasonal (pls don’t hate me for this) and we mandatorily had to make a game permanent (which isn’t the case, we don’t need more permanent games), the game that deserves the most to be set as permanent would be BlockWars (now again, I’m not saying it should be permanent... that’d be a bad idea as well).
But if you insist on adding an arcade game because why not while there are other much more popular games, then it would be Line Dash or Quakecraft. 20 players out of 1k is just shockingly low. But again Minerware is already an arcade game, the most arcade-ish of them all may I add.

I'd prefer to add smash bros or paintball

Blockwars being a permanent game is a discussion for another time.
Mineware is not an arcade game. There is no way I would ever say or agree or even think about Mineware being an arcade game. No. It's not.
Last but not least, I said in my thread "If not Layer Spleef, then another arcade game" so if they think LS is unpopular, then they should add another arcade game. But there is no arcade game atm.

Doubt Super Smash Bros will get added. If they add OG games,Parkour Minigame ;)

It’s funny how many times I emphasized I was saying that BlockWars should be permanent, yet you didn’t understand.

How is it not an arcade game? Just because it wasn’t put together with the “official” arcade games, it doesn’t mean it isn’t an arcade themed game itself. You want layer Spleef? You got mini Spleef in MW! You want Wing Rush? You got Fly Through Hoops!
Arcade games are meant to be simple and short. MinerWare is 16 simple and short mini games put together. How is it not an arcade game?

Yeah ik xd

Not because there isn’t an arcade game as permanent it means we need one, they aren’t the most popular games in the server. Considering that most people play PvP-related games in this server, any arcade game would serve the same function as MinerWare, it’s some sort of “escape” from PvP. We already have MinerWare we don’t need more.
Plus, if Layer Spleef has such a low amount of players while it’s featured, then imagine it being permanent, no hype, no excitement, no players, dead game in two weeks or so.

If management ever considers setting as permanent an Arcade game, they should be Linedash or Quakecraft.

Basically yes.

 

[Deleted member 352903]

Maybe there should 2 rotation systems: one for featured games and the other one for arcade

I think that proposal is too risky, CubeCraft’s player base hasn’t grown significantly, then why should we divide it even more.
If CubeCraft’s player base grew by 100-200 players, then this could be viable in the future. But not right now.

Its not like we need 100 players to start a paintball game

You can't choose which microgame you play. With Arcade you can. Mixed Arcade would show you which game was playing.
The games took quite some time but you could leave pretty much anytime, yes you can leave Mineware but you won't get points (or as many) for winning a Microgame.
Mineware is one big game that exists out of multiple microgames that you can't really leave. You can't just play a Microgame making it a non-arcade game.

Plus, if Layer Spleef has such a low amount of players while it’s featured, then imagine it being permanent, no hype, no excitement, no players, dead game in two weeks or so.

I'm 100% fine with having LD or QC as permanent game. Tho I enjoy LS more so I suggested LS.

Ooo then the permanent game should be mixed arcade. Problem solved lol.

That'll only take more work for Cube tbh.

But this is the same with Tower Defence, That feeling never exceeds 100 :o

It could be successful though, maybe removing barn brawl would be a good idea tho.
Sadly...
