Helloo!
At the moment, custom hubs are very underwhelming. This suggestion is to add more (or improve current) settings in custom hubs.
Things that could be improved would be:
-
More access settings. - At the moment, there’s hardly any access mode features. It would great to have the same (or similar) access settings custom games have. I do understand this could be tricky due to the system (I believe) being different from custom games. Here are some settings that could be added:
-
The option to invite players via a friends list.
-
The option to change the access mode (access list, open to all, open to friend, and code only)
-
The option to remove players from the custom hub.
A current issue with given player access is their access being revoked when the owner leaves the custom hub. This access cannot being given back, even when the owner rejoins. A fix could be to resolve the custom hub when the owner leaves.
-
Additions to custom hubs could be:
-
The ability to modify the time, and possibly weather of the hub. - This would be huge on the customizability of custom hubs, and I think it could be fun to mess around with.
-
The ability to change the hub theme/season. - Being able to change the theme or season of the hub would be an awesome ability to have. Players have favorite seasons and themes of the hub. I do understand how complicated this could be to manage though like removed assets, previous gamemodes, reloading the map (especially when that’s not how the current system works), etc. But I do believe players would love this, even more so if they can revisit the old main hub (or even the Arcade hub, which could be a separate custom hub).
-
The ability to manage players’ permissions. - Having a feature to modify player’s permissions would be a nice thing to have, making custom hubs more interesting and fun. The options given could be accessed through an item. Some permission options could be:
-
An option to give a player ownership access to the custom hub.
-
An option to toggle flight, allowing players to fly around the hub.
-
An option to modify your player scale, giving players the ability to set their change their size, similarly to how Hive Team members can modify their scale.
-
An option to teleport to the players in the custom hub.
These permissions could be given in levels, rather than being given separately.
-
I believe that’s all I wanted to suggest! If I think of anything else, I’ll be sure to come back and edit this post.
I would love to see these or similar features added! I feel that custom hubs have the potential to be some sort or sandbox area for players and their friends to mess around in.
I do see how some of these could ruin the fairness of ongoing hub hunts, so it would make sense to disable hunts in custom hubs, or atleast disable them when permissions on modified.
I hope you find this idea great, and choose to upvote it. <3
Anyways, that’s all! Ciaoo.
