Hi! I saw your thread yesterday:
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/lets-complain-about-lucky-islands.202682/ Honestly I can't wait to reply, however I want to play more before I do (Only have 4 hours after update). I only play on my alt (stone player) so I can experience more from a players perspective and it also helps me find any rulebreakers. Lucky Islands is my favourite game on the network, I think I'm one of the few staff that love it. I've only had a chance to play the update at Christmas so I'm coming across quite a few issues you've raised.
Anyways since I'm that map builder guy, I really want to improve our maps first since I can actually tackle these issues.
Your map feedback
(Solo) Snowglobe:
Am glad snowglobe is one of your favs, with this map I really wanted to implement more mining into lucky islands so you aren't totally screwed. Curious if implementing this across more maps would make it more fun and balanced? One thing I quite like is the depth, you can keep going up and down, across the icicles to get into the snowglobe or underneath, so many ways to approach a player.
(Solo) Clouds:
I haven't played clouds all that much recently, from what you've said, if I made the cloud bigger would that fix the issue?
(Solo) Frost:
I'm not a huge fan of this map myself, if there was dirt or stone underneath the snow blocks do you think that would provide more building blocks? This should make it easier to attack people, also having a source of stone would be nice to make some basic tools.
(Solo) Bridges:
I hate this map, burn it with fire! I really want to remove it. There is just so much wrong with it that makes me want to start over and revamp the entire concept. The island is cluttered and messy, the bridges are awkward to fight and parkour over, the middle is too far and OP as hell.
Maps I want to remove
(Solo) Bridges:
The reasons I said above in response to your feedback.
(Team) Elven:
I like the trap in this map, however I feel like everything is too tall and encourages camping. There is too much random crap scattered across the starter islands, I feel like everything could be smaller and just be revamped for better gameplay. The layout is nice, maybe moving the islands closer together, at the moment I just feel too much is wrong with this map and outweighs the positives.
(Team) Temple:
Stupid map! Starter islands are interesting, however the middle is just... Y U DO DIS. I made this map so am allowed to be angry at it lol. Future me is not happy about past me. Just no real gameplay thought, I can make maps so much better now, I'd rather a persons first playing experience not to be on this map.
Maps I want to edit/revamp
(Team) Steampunk:
It's one of the originals, it has some good gameplay aspects, being able to mine ores etc, however the constant change of slabs and levels make it a nightmare to PvP on. The starter island is a bit of a death trap, I feel a lot of the issues could be fixed in a nice revamp.
(Team) Hell:
There just isn't enough luckyblocks, maybe adding more will make it more fun on your starter island. Also I want to change the red sand so there are only patches and a more useful block to break so it's easier to bridge across islands.
(Team) Orc:
It can be improved to be cleaner and easier to get around, feels like there is just so much uneven ground. I want to get rid of a lot of hills and add more luckyblocks to starter islands..
(Solo) Crossroads:
Adding ores and more luckyblocks to starter islands, also making the train more accessible.
(Solo) Frost:
Adding more lucky blocks, and depending on what feedback I get on my dirt/stone idea.
(
Solo) Western:
Adding more lucky blocks to starter islands, make the tree all one log type, make it easier to obtain building blocks.
Adding more crafting tables and furnaces on all maps due to the new lucky blocks.
Can't think of anything else at the moment. Anyways I'll tag a few people I've seen using the lucky islands forums to get your feedback on my idea/suggestions.
@SanCookie @SleepyLiv @Kloska @Xeahnotto Also if anyone you know people that play lucky islands, I'd love for you to pass it on and make sure they reply and give me as much feedback as possible, Thanks!
