Java The update

[Priley]

Another one of these threads, but it needs to happen

- I don't really like the idea of removing all lobbies and just putting NPCs instead, but I'll probably just need to get used to it

- Despite the fact that I like this leaderboard change, I do think most players which were going for leaderboard are pretty upset as they probably wanted to keep it a secret

- This is probably a bug, but remove the NPC names from the tab list

Spoiler

- I already suggested temporary leaderboards a lot, but with this new GUI menu where statistics are shown, what about being able to view weekly/monthly statistics?

- I fully agree with what Tacosbefriends said in the spoiler below, but there still was a small community that played Blockwars, Arcade and other removed games. But I understand they will not be brought back any time soon

Spoiler

Would've been nice to see this enthusiasm for our dead games before they got remove

We updated BlockWars and it was still dead. We updated Arcade and, unfortunately, it was still dead. We added nothing but community suggestions, mostly from Thefty and other big SG players of the time, and it somehow became more dead than it already was. There's no necromancing dead games back to life. People simply lose interest.

- Just add /leaderboard <game> me (or shorten it to /lb <game> me) so you can see what leaderboard position you have

EDIT: Execute the /leaderboard suggestion in a different way: if you go to the last page of the top 200 players, your head is listed as 202nd (leave a gap)

A few simple suggestions, statements or just some opinions!

Donators lost the ability to select what map they'd like to play: should be readded. This was one of the main reasons I bought my rank

You're still able to select the map you'd like to play, I think

Jup, instead of left clicking, right click

Just noticed, but can you reply to the whole thread? :p

I really liked this one but they never added it :d

I agree with everything you said actually c:

As... a surprise?
I mean... what?
Players can do anything as a surprise, whether it's visible to players or not.

Probably doable, but not a priority. What they did now is just lay down the infrastructure.
(not really relevant to the big change, but that's fine)

We're glad you understand, but my question is: Is there a suggestion connected to this? or is it just a nugget of information that you'd like to share?

The different way is the best way imo. Much more player-friendly.

For example, Megaaa is going for the Skywars leaderboard and has been tryharding for a while. Higher ranked players will now easily be able to see how close he is and start playing if they need to

Nothing to say, it's indeed not really a priority but it could be nice to have

This is related to the update as a lot of players are angry because their favorite game got removed, just sayin' that I do understand and I like the idea of making them temporary (featured game thingy)

I don't think this was really supposed to be a surprise since he posted it for everyone on the forums to see.

Not talking about him specifically

 

[Gainfullterror]

Not talking about him specifically

For example, Megaaa

Though... you did specifically mention him ^

There's 0 other examples I'm aware of, and 0 reasons why someone would keep it as a "surprise" that I can think of.

I said "For example"

And take a look at this situation, I can imagine this is definitely the case for most players

Okay, and what makes that different for the previous 1st through 4th place? They can see the ones behind them. Only one player had that uncertainty. Now it's the 200th player instead of the 5th player.

Great point actually, didn't think of that XD
