Whether its games that are yearly LTMs or one time LTMs, you should allow for either regular or custom servers to be opened by people with Hive +. This list of ideas also includes a few things about Custom Servers themselvels.
More information:
Say you wanted to play an old game (LTM), maybe if you have Hive +, and extra item shows up in your inventory, where you can select from LTMs and play either public Custom servers or just regular queue servers like any other game.
Custom servers would be the same, but maybe add a feature where you can select a game that you want to play in the /cs menu and it checks to see if there is any public Custom servers that have been set to “Everyone” or “Friends” if you have friends with that custom server open.
Another idea for Custom servers… Just like I said before where it tests if you have any friends in that game for a custom server, you should also be able to see all of the custom servers that your friends have open to public or to friends, just not the ones you are invited to.
Lastly for CS, there should be a list of all public custom servers and their settings. I know this one might be hard to do because they could change the settings at any time, but you can make it update live or change every time they open / close and if they want to see the updated settings, they can click “back” and then on the server again. Not only would this show the settings, it would also show the people currently in it, the code and maybe more that I can’t think about.
Constructive Criticism:
I would love to hear any more ideas and why this might or might not work. Please don’t be afraid of really telling me off as long as it is constructive and not rude. Please upvote or downvote this honestly!
Agreed. Maybe they should include a Custom Server update that adds a few different things that people want in Custom Servers now that they have been out for like half a year and people have had the time to use them.
Adding a custom server update might be something they put in the small change round-up or maybe something bigger, but they have a lot more potential than they are using it for currently.
You can create custom servers as a regular player now, but it is more limited, but with Hive+, you should be able to do even more things with it since you have a payed rank. If they add the LTMs to the list of games on the custom server list, they shouldn’t do it for the public, they should do it for Hive+ members to make it really really worth the purchase.
That is true, but as a Hive+ member myself, I feel like I am more entitled to being able to play games that are limited time because I for example, didn’t get to play the Halloween one because servers weren’t on PS4 until like half a month after the gamemode was removed, which is kinda un-fair to me. So I think I and others should be able to play these old games with Hive+ on custom servers.
If you do /q sonic for example, it is still there, you just can’t play it. That shows that they still exist, we just don’t have access to them and I think we should!
That is ideal, but I don’t really want to wait that long and really if you think about it, all you get is a skin, couple hub titles, green name, double party size, double friends list size and more custom servers, but that isn’t enough for the amount of money you have to pay for it. They should allow you to have extra perks than just that because I don’t think it is fully worth it yet. They can expand on the idea of a one-time infinite rank. Make it better y’now?
That is obviously not what I meant. I mean, if the game is out of season or out of play permanently, we should still be able to play with with the payed rank (Hive+).
along with avatars, double map votes, double daily quests and a 50% xp boost
I personally think hive+ has enough perks already, and as I’ve said before, limited modes are called so for a reason. Besides, october isn’t even that far away
How about this, the modes that AREN’T seasonal can get added to the list of custom servers. I don’t think block drop and the sonic game is coming back to the hive as a regular game, maybe they could add those to custom servers. I think that is at least fair, because you should still have SOME way to play LTMs that aren’t coming back!
I’d like to share an idea; I think the ability to be able to change the size of players and models would be both hilarious and extremely fun in custom servers.
