Being a hider that runs around the map trolling seekers is a huge part of Hide and Seek. Unfortunately, this can be annoying for seekers and I have two suggestions to fix this:
Give the seeker a netherite sword to allow seekers to kill hiders in 2 hits instead of 3.
Make a separate gamemode called Seek and Run, which basically disables hiders from hiding.
1 and 2 don’t work. Seek and run would be Terrible, cause nobody wants a hectic game mode(but also not a boring game mode), however Nephrite sword is op. Also the Hive has never had nephrite swords in any of their game modes up to this point, while I also think this would make the seeker smasher pointless. I see what you mean, but most seekers that run just get killed, I’ve never really experienced this problem though before.
As a person that only plays hide n seek as a seeker i think this is very beneficial.
though I haven’t play this game for a while, I do main them before.
First hiders would tease seeker if they thought seeker is noob or want to have some feelings of chasing, if they meet a seeker who can memorize map and can catch every runner swiftly, see if there will be a lot of runners on that round
Also netherite is too much. I remember in Java server hns, seekers have diamond sword and a full set of iron armor, but on Bedrock hive switch it and the armor only have diamond helmet and boots. since some seekers don’t like wearing armor so I guess just switch it back may be okay (but im not sure hiders on java have more hp)
And there’s no need to separate a game out, this gameplay is also part of the game, that’s why hns can stand out from other non-pvp games like mm
