Bridge Update Wish List

[Champ_Axis]

Here is the 2024 Bridge Update Wishlist, this is a collection of all the ideas and some of my own to add to the bridge!

1. Kits v2:
   I think a rebalance of kits is a must have. The Snowball kit should be 4 Snowballs off Spawn and +2 per kill. The 3x Golden Apple kit needs a total revamp, I will do this by splitting it into 2 kits. The Turtle tank, a kit with an iron chest plate and a Turtle helmet, and the 2nd one being a healer kit that not only gives health on kill (like the other kits) but +2 golden hearts. In addition to the 2 kits I mentioned, I think a Crossbow kit with 1 levitation arrow, you could use this to your advantage and start a sweet combo or help the opponent glide to victory. I did not mention the Leap kit as it isn’t hard to counter if you know how to play and is pretty well balanced. And who knows Weekly kits could spice up the game.

2. 4v4v4v4 Mode
   I am not going to explain how it works but Hypixel Bridge executes it perfectly and would really enjoy seeing this with its own map pool.

3. Bridge Classic
   With Classic Skywars being in the works, I think Bridge Classic would make a good LTM, I don’t want this as a main mode as it could get stale but seeing it every couple month would bring me back.

4. Kit Selection Menu
   So, the Queue System in The Bridge needs to be reworked. I load into the game wait for 20 seconds to start the game but wait for another ~10 seconds to just select my kit, that I selected 2000 games ago. I would make Kit selecting an option in the lobby and lower the timer to 3 seconds when all players are in. Then lower the time in the cage to 5 seconds. The player had PLENTY of time to choose a kit. If me and my teammate play well, I spend more time waiting for a game to start then playing the game itself. This is one of the games MAJOR problems.

5. Exp & Levels
   Exp in the bridge is way to hard to progress in and a 3x exp buff would need to be implemented, getting Level 20 (a low number) takes a LONG time. So any future levels would be really lame. So increasing the exp rate is needed. As well as bring the level count to 40. Something that should have been added years ago.

6. New Maps
   Not much to say here but some new maps are always nice to see. Maybe 3 pirate themed Maps would be nice as we have seen some pirate event assets before. And a mineshaft/caverns theme.

7. Removing Solo Skill Base Match Making (Kinda)
   This is a good idea if a lot of players are playing the game, I would only enable this if +150 players are playing solo on the same region. Otherwise, it should be disabled. This could also be experimented on Duos.

8. New Cosmetic Type
   Concrete Colors - This could be the 16 colors (or more if you guys add some custom ones). These would replace the blocks on your island and give you a new color to look at. You would choose a Primary Color and a Secondary, so you are always getting 1 of 2 colors if the other team has the same color.

9. API
   I don’t know why Bridge Duos hasn’t been added to the API buts its 99% of my games played and I would like to see those being add to the API.

10. Final Notes
    This is one of the best games on The Hive and it could easily double the player count with some changes.
