Battle Arena (yes, inspired by CubeCraft)
Please read full post for full idea. You probably can skip the “cons” section. This post is also a little filled with yap lol.
This game would replace either Ground Wars or Block Drop but probably GW as it is almost everyone’s least favorite game. Ground Wars would be good as an LTM (bring back Snow Wars). This new game would be similar to the duel minigame that was found in the Arcade Hub (rip).
Why it should be added:
CubeCraft’s Battle Arena is often times buggy, laggy, and filled with sweats. The Hive is capable of making high quality games and Battle Arena is a pretty popular gamemode across Minecraft that would fit very well on the Hive server.
I, personally would love to max this game and i’m sure others would love to max it , too. Also, it might help influence players that normally would play CubeCraft, to play the Hive.
Even if Battle Arena was only as big as games like Deathrun or say, Capture the Flag, it would definitely be worth 5x the value of Ground Wars.
Cons of Battle Arena:
The Hive team is relatively small and right now, there might not be room for a game to be added right now. They have a giant Murder Mystery update coming and are currently finishing up BWS3. Plus, there is the massive project of their SkyBlock server (PLEASE GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS). Not to mention, they have to run one of the biggest and most well made Minecraft severs in the world and they have to do all of this will an estimated approximate number of 100 staff members. (Don’t ask where i got that number).
Another con would be the question of is this game even worth it? In my opinion, this could be one of my favorite games, but also in my opinion, Block Drop is one of my favorites. My point being, would this game get players? Cubecraft’s version does but I feel that the playerbases of the two servers are pretty different.
People play the Hive for their minigames, not for pvp. Every game has special items that add to gameplay. Imagine BedWars without every single special item. It would be a lot more boring. Look at games like Block Drop and Ground Wars. They lack interesting special items and power-ups. The ones there are pretty basic. Those two games are the least popular plus they don’t have riveting gameplay (i love u BD). Battle Arena with power-ups would be wacky-similar to BW Manor. Battle Arena would be fine for people, but it could become boring over time.
Now at the end of this post, I feel that that a Battle Arena game might not be the best game to add for the Hive. In my opinion, I think i’d love it but i’m not sure about other people.
Of course, all of this is my opinion, but thanks to anyone who read this through.
