Temporary Game Modes

[Deleted member 169486]

Currently most games have one or two options, like normal eggwars and speed eggwars, and most games having a solo and team mode.

My suggestion is for temporary modes to be added to some of the less played games. These would would be accessible from an armor stand in the middle of the game lobby. They would only be playable for around one month.

Some examples of possible temporary modes (please note, these are examples, do not focus on these when replying)

Spoiler: Stone and Leather

This would be a mode for survival games. All of the armor would be leather and all the items would be stone. Food would also be limited to raw meat/carrots and potatos

Spoiler: Only Diamond Items

This eggwars mode would work like any other, however the only tools/weapons/armor you can get are diamond

Spoiler: Projectiles Only

A mode for skywars where there are no swords/axes, and your only weapons are snowballs/eggs and bows.

Of course, these would not be possible for every all game modes, however if they were added to some of the less played games like blockwars and UHC, it might increase the players playing those games.

This could also be used for possible updates to games, for players to test it out and give feedback before it's officially released.

I don't believe so. I don't really play Hypixel though.

Something doesn’t add up here

I don’t find it very constructive if the time and effort put into it will only be for a short period of time it wouldn’t increase people playing that game in the long run
It would be better to put the effort into actually updating the game more permanently instead of adding a temporary gam mode

Those were just examples to get the idea across

If there is a temporary mode that might draw people into the game they could play it more often.

Sure may get people to play it more often but only really while it is there

The point of it is to draw people to the game. Blockwars is usually dead, so if someone tries to join a game it would probably take a while to start assuming it even does. If they see this new mode, start to play it, then once it's gone they keep playing normal modes, lots of people would be into it. Also, it's fun. After a while, normal modes get boring.

People wouldn’t be affected
Normal players who don’t exclusively play 1 game
Will end up playing those games If they updated
However if they only liked the special mode they stop playing
It is really pointless to do this instead of just updating the game itself

I am not saying Don’t ever add modes to games like Blockwars
I am saying it isn’t beneficial to spend work on a game to make a mode that you will remove whether or not it is liked or not

It would just be a fun mode to have to mix things up that would never really work in official updates.

If it wouldn’t work in an official update

Chances are it is either really unbalanced and broken
Or nobody would want to play it

All diamond items/armor in eggwars. Would never work for an official update, but would be a good twist to the game.

Similar suggestion that I made:

As for the suggestion itself yes +1

also somehow I didn't receive a notification from that tag

I put them in after I posted the thread.

I really like this suggestion, because it would contribute to the server, helping the "dead" modalities to resuscitate. I agree with you.
