Java Return of BlockWars

[_VaporeWalker_]

Eng: I think BlockWars is one of the games where cubecraft got new players, I think it would be a good idea for it to come back, but the vote is yours.

Esp: Creo que BlockWars es uno de los juegos por los que cubecraft obtuvo nuevos jugadores, yo pienso que sería una buena idea que regrese, pero la votación es de ustedes.

Waiting for Staff and members attention, i say Good Bye.

Esperando por la atención del personal y de los miembros, me despido.

If I am honest I don't think that it is a good idea. Being a featured game and only exclusive at times it's pretty what makes the game popular and I feel like it should stay that way so it doesn't get boring.

First, hiii Vapi! I haven’t seen you in CubeCraft in a while! Hope you’re doing great.

Now, big no. BlockWars is only popular because it’s momentary. If it is left permanent once again it’ll still be pretty dead.
The player base hasn’t increased that much since the Big Change so it doesn’t make much sense to think BlockWars will be lively again.
Though I would love to have BlockWars back, but logically it is counter productive.

You're right, but there are also many players like me who could play blockwars all day, plus the style of game could be competitive. I think.

i think it can be good. nice suggestion.

Its not possible, staff doesn't care about it

Many, but sadly not enough. Remember BlockWars on October before the big change? Almost dead.

I see that blockwars has gotten more players since the big change. Normally, for personal sakes, I would say yes, but for it being for the server, that would be a no. Blockwars needs updates first and good ones. Actually, all featured games need an update to gain players. I doubt that will happen though.

Hey!! I know you... do you remember me?

Ikr,featured games aren't gonna work if they don't get an update.(Though,as far as I know,blockwars got zome little bug fixes in a recent update)

The bug fixes were minor but not game changing in the slightest. I'm glad my original post about them was noticed and fixed pretty quickly which is nice.
The first one was to fix the crazy numbers in tab which was only a one line change in the code because the number (not the kills) was going to the wrong person. The second one was a fix to the ninja kit which when taking the flag while invisible. It didn't regain the glowing affect after the cooldown ended so they were very hard to spot and found it easy to hide, after the change, the glowing was applied after the end of the ability.

Why not yet? from player's perspective its a positive sum choice to add it to the regular games on CC.

For the people running the server - from what i understand - it would cost more to add any other game to the permanent games,

meaning adding block-wars let alone any other games in rotation would now have cons alongside the pros

pros being: (block wars being an available all the time game for players, and potential another reason for new players to keep coming back to CC)


Staff + Players, here's a question and suggestion:
Why not rotate every game on CC (like Egg-wars, Sky-wars and PVP)?

If you can apply your logic to block wars with out contradiction that would be nice :I

If your reason is the number of players that play said game, then why is Parkour still a permanent game, not Block-wars?

Why don't we do this with all the permanent games too then (Egg-wars, Sky-wars, PVP etc.) 'so it doesn't get boring'.

@Glitch_Kid_ things don’t work like you’re presenting them, EggWars and SkyWars do “get boring” but they have an enormous player base that’s is constantly being renewed.

About parkour, it is permanent because it’s the only game that doesn’t need a certain amount of players to start up, though it doesn’t make much sense considering you still have to host every single level a player is on.

The only reason why BlockWars is somewhat popular while it is being featured is because it had a big player base that had played the game a lot during many years. Most of that player base though, didn’t play Block Wars at all before the “Big Change”. But most of them still complained and disagreed with the decision. Those old players that didn’t play at all, combined with the ones that never stopped playing the game, mostly conform BlockWars’s player base. The only reason those players that stopped playing came back is because they missed BlockWars now that it got “removed”.

If there’s no reason to “miss it” then there’s no motivation to come back. And hence Block Wars would die again.

I really believe that the updates were the ones that killed BlockWars, and that the old players would like Block Wars to come back again.

Yes of course, but that’s not gonna happen. I don’t think they will update BlockWars any time soon.

Though they should... considering the potential it has. I mean, the 30k player milestone was thanks to BlockWars.

Yeah and there are still old members who would like to have the old skywars. But it’s not going to happen. With the old lobbies, blockwars lobbies were always pretty dead, more than games like Tower Defense. It got removed for an obvious reason and if it gets added back, it’ll probably be as dead as it used to be. The whole point of this update was that these less popular games would get featured after some time, so that their playerbase could still play them and BlockWars was probably the most popular one of them.

I would love to see blockwars, but it is slowly losing players even in featured. For example, CTF was beating Tower Defense and Pvp, but overtime, the players slowly decreased. I've been too blind to see why it should be featured I didn't see the player base of it. I do agree that updates were the ones that did kill blockwars though. They need more updates and ideas for blockwars, like at least some more maps.
