Arcade and HUB were removed last year.
However, the new HUB has many self-made blocks and is not very interesting.
On mobile devices (smartphones, etc.), “pretty leaves” is often automatically disabled, but the leaves created by HIVE ignore this.
On some devices, you may not be able to play properly due to loading textures and processing the graphics of your own leaves.
This is off-topic, but overall, the new HUB has been poorly received, and there are many voices wishing for Arcade to be revived.
Main topic
Arcade is well-designed and resembles Tokyo, where I live.
Arcade is full of memories for many people.
When I was feeling sad after losing consecutively in Skywars, I would explore Arcade with a friend I just met, fly between buildings with a car mount, or just stop by even if I had nothing to do.
HIVE has deleted such Arcade.
Players like me are still waiting for Arcade to come back (Windows 7 and XP are still widely used…).
Having minigames in Arcade may be a bad thing.
However, as of this writing, Block Drop has 81 people, Ground Wars has 43 people, and Survival Game has 126 people.
HIVE is never empty.
Skywars has 702 players and Murder has 415 players.
A former Arcade game that doesn’t have many participants, even though HIVE isn’t empty. I think the number has increased somewhat with the new HUB, but I don’t have the impression that it has become that popular.
Looking at this situation, I think it would have been better to just move only the game's NPCs from Arcade to the new hub'' instead of delete Arcade.‘’
I have some suggestions in case HIVE corrects its wrong decisions.
-
Secretly revive without announcing anything
Concrete example
Set up a portal to Arcade somewhere
I think a good place would be behind the chairs in the castle or inside the castle building. Many players will be walking around the castle, so I think they will find it during that time.
However, if you hide it in a too strange place, it may not be effective.
Installations in the mountains or on remote islands are also unlikely to be effective. -
Allow only players who meet certain conditions to enter
Can be entered by players who own the Golden Mailbot skin, Arcade bundle, or HIVE+ rank (this is just an example). -
Open to the public normally
Bring back Arcade without any conditions or complications.
location suggestions
・Next to the post office where the mailbot is located
・Behind the stone bee statue behind the spawn point
In either case, we recommend that you do the following
・Removal of mini-game NPCs
Set up a portal etc. to return to the HUB at that location, and a welcome message such as “Welcome to Arcade” (it would be lonely without something)
・Similar to Micro HUB, some functions will return to Arcade.
It is better to just return it without doing anything else.
If you do anything other than the above two points, it will no longer be Arcade…
I’m sure you have similar suggestions, but please don’t delete them.
