Obfuscation Update

Suggestions
1

This is for every single person who doesn’t want sweats in their gamemodes.

Hypixel had an update called the “Obfuscation Update”. The reason why it was called that is because it’d hide players’ names. It would make sweats unable to constantly requeue until they got a lobby of people who (no offense, but) suck and basically guarantee themselves a very good winrate with this strategy.

Sweats are a major reason people quit in my opinion, and is also why I might be leaving Hive. My friend Seth, or mainly known as GooierCarton978 has complained about this several times in their YouTube channel posts, but never on the forums. Maybe having sweats in your game once in a while would be okay, but not always just so they can get to the top of the leaderboard.

This is what I’d suggest: Prevent any way of letting sweats find your username just so they can decide whether to requeue or not. I think it’d be best to connect everyone who wants to play a specific gamemode to a single lobby and teleport the amount of people at random required for a specific gamemode from the single lobby to their desired gamemode, and if they requeue after they’re capable of knowing who’s in their game, it’ll count as a loss. As long as the sweats trying to requeue won’t get the most wins or the highest winrate with this stupid strategy, it’s a win for the majority. The reason I’m suggesting it to be this way is so that even if the sweats click on your profile within the social menu to find your username, they won’t know if you’ll be in their game.

Another thing I’d suggest. If the sweats requeue more than twice within the same day, remove 1 win that’s only displayed on the leaderboard. Their stats will still show their actual number of wins, but add a penalty on the leaderboard or something. Maybe this rule can be changed in 1 way or another, but if the sweats only have a decreased winrate, it doesn’t decrease the amount of wins they have, and there needs to be something done.

Sweats are often toxic. That’s for sure. One of my friends got called a “lvl 41 kid” and the sweat even desperately made an invalid comparison between him and my friend without thinking twice. (for context he said that my friend is a coward and he was on 2hp and still helped his friend, when my friend didn’t have anyone to help when he was low) Something else should also be done about this, and I’m thinking maybe remove levels or something if they get reported for something valid. For example, -7500 experience for toxicity.

I’m sorry, but I might actually be quitting Hive. The entire reason I’m writing this is because of the sweats themselves. I only play Hive in the morning now because there’s barely any sweats at that time so I don’t need to deal with them. Since sweats can be a major reason people quit, if a massive amount of people quit, then it’ll only be the sweats left having to compete against each other. The sweats will get angry at each other, ending with a ton of anger. Who knows if they’ll try to dox each other. There’s no guarantee that this will actually happen, but I think it’s possible.

Please add this update…

Hold on, let me get this straight

You want to solve sweats bwing annoying by actively making it impossible for you to find out whos a sweat until it’s too late…? Wouldnt that just be worse or am I missing stuff???

That makes literally no sense. If they are actually sweats, they’re still going to win, if they want to rewueue then they should be able to. Besides, do you want to play against sweats on a consistent basis? Do you want to be unexpecting on who is a sweat in your game because you don’t know anyones level, and now anyone is scary?

I feel like Bedwars would become way less fun for that. Your solution to sweats is making them impossible to recognize until it’s too late…

I am sorry that is absurd

Thank you @DarthEagle99. it is also kinda fun to obliterate a prestige 1 level 90, also if your having problems with sweats @glitteryshine I recommend playing party’s with higher skilled players that way you can win.

bro i dont want to because dat way everyone would always have to rely on their friends like who does dat cmon

It should be fair for everyone no matter if they have friends or not. It’s generally not fair for lower level players, since they’re new and might not have very friendly matchmaking. Could atleast lower their chance of getting absolutely obliterated and give some time for them to learn while still sometimes fighting sweats. The update is to lower the spread of sweats between lower leveled players’ games so they don’t appear every game.

Shouldn’t any good Bedwars player be able to deal with anyone? Sweats will also have to proceed with caution too now and they’ll actually have to play against anyone the game throws at them. Other people should also be able to learn and do the same (in my opinion). No offense, but sounds a bit like cowardice. (im sry if dat was kinda rude)

Well even if I agreed with any of this, how do you plan on implementing this? Because people should be able to leave at any time in a game, not just for requeuing reasons.

But also, so what if people want to be “cowards”. Let them be, it’s their own playstyle and way of enjoyment. After all, it’s meant to be fun. You can’t just ask for more fun by taking away that from others, that’s unfair and could take away an entire community of people.

plenty of people play with friends and that’s that, you will not be able to really change sweat culture :sweat_smile: . And by not being able to see the names makes it worse because, say your new to the server and you click BedWars squads then bang your in a full party of sweats.
