The 1.19 update was an overall great update, with revamped lobbies, an insane skywars lobby, and lucky blocks is now more than just an afterthought. However, than comes eggwars season 2.
The main issue with eggwars season 2 is, overpowered doesnt feel like overpowered anymore.
Eggwars season 2 completely removed enchants and leather armor, pickaxes are now super slow, and generators start once the game starts. CubeCraft essentially just killed the speedrunning and grinding community for eggwars. Games now take upwards to 5 minutes for duos or solos if you're trying to grind (the world record for duos is 31 seconds). Not only that but grindy items like Enchanted Apples are very overpriced now.
The emerald system revamp is the only thing that is a little good about this update. The new enchant system makes games take much longer, and you die so much quicker. Instead of having fair 1v1s, the person who get a 1 or 2 lucky hits wins because the unenchanted iron armor just isn't enough protection.
The old op eggwars made the game feel separated from all of the other games in its genre, like bedwars or cakewars. Prot 4 armor made a very overpowered cheap armor but the games were way quicker than bedwars. Now eggwars just feels like any other bedwars clone.
The solution:
Bring back the old shop items and prices, the new shop completely removed any familiarity that I had with eggwars and it feels like a whole different game.
Keep the emerald system as it give players an incentive to break others eggs and actually fight, instead of camping on generators for majority of the game.
The enchant system is a great idea, but players should still keep protection 4 armor and sharp 2 swords, as well as enchanted pickaxes. However, the max level pickaxe could be a efficiency 2 netherite pick and you have to use the enchanting table to upgrade it further. Sharp X and Sharp 5 swords can only be obtained by enchanting. You can get prot 5 by enchanting. And Trident enchants stay the same.
Another solution is to bring overpowered back, make the current op normal mode, make the current normal mode hard, and keep the current hard mode called ultra hardcore.
And the easiest solution is the ability to choose between new and classic eggwars in the voting section.
It would also be cool to here ya'll suggestions if you agree with this post
