The GroundWars Revival Update🄚

Ground Wars is dead. We all know it. That’s why my goal is to try and fix it, and maybe make it more fun instead of removing it!

Also Mods if you close this saying it’s a ā€œdupe,ā€ can you please reply to the other posts so maybe this can happen even if it wasn’t my post? Thanks. :smile_tear:

I’ll leave sections if you want to teleport to certain areas below so you can read less!:egg:Please real it all if you can, since that will give you a better idea of what I mean. :sweat_smile:


XP

First, let’s fix the major problem with this game! The XP system. :fire:
If you don’t live under a rock or have played Ground Wars a fair amount, you will know the XP system is the WORST on the server. :skull: Assuming all games had 100 levels, Ground Wars would be the hardest of them to max, and that’s due to the little amount of XP you gain. So let’s make some edits! :smile:

My levels travel around the same speed in Bedwars VS Ground Wars, and the XP difference required is OVER 5k. (I’m level 66 btw :smile:)


Kills - These currently give out a whopping ONE XP!!! :shocked: Anyways, why don’t we change this to five? That way, it’s still slow, but not crazy slow grinding.


Win - The current XP for a win is a whopping TEN XP!!! :shocked: :shocked: that’s 10x more than a kill! I can usually get more XP from kills then a win!!! Yet it’s still slow either method!!! Anyways, I figure 50xp is a fair amount of XP for a win. That is still 10x more than kills if this is accepted, but at least it can feel faster now.


Powerups - Powerups feel fairly silly. You get them, and half of them suck. Like the knockback one literally doesn’t kill them, just KNOCKS THEM BACK. :sob: There’s no reason to prefer that!!! But to compensate for these sucky powerups, let’s make them give 5xp each just like kills. That way, you shouldn’t want to GRIND powerups, but not there’s a bigger purpose.


Mega Powerup - That giant thingy in the center that appears like round two is cool but like only 50% of the time! :shocked: so, why don’t we make it like 25xp :cubee: so that it has a better purpose and a lot of people will focus on trying to get the last hit! :aggressive_laughter:


Impostor Kills - The Impostor powerup takes a while to spawn, and most times you instantly die. So, why don’t we double the XP given from impostor kills? That way, everyone will desperately want it, and that will be cool. :sunglasses:


Armour Breaking - When you break someone’s armour, it’s as if you killed them but didn’t. That’s annoying. So, why don’t we compensate with ONE XP!!! :shocked: and yes I know ONE XP!!! :shocked: is a lot of XP but WHY NOT!!! :sunglasses:


Powerups

Please let me know if I forgot any powerups, but I’ll name what I remember. :sweat_smile:


Knockback Egg - Let’s make this powerup BETTER!!! First, have any direct hits count as a kill. Idk if this already exists. :sweat_smile: Second, make the knockback STUPIDLY FUNNY :aggressive_laughter: by making it knock them flying in a random direction EXTREMELY FAST AND FAR. Almost as if someone used a Knockback Dory in Bedwars but for some reason it had KB 5. :skull: and finally, make it so they get nausea for like five seconds after being hit, since flying instantly to the other side of the map probably hurts. A lot.


Blindness Egg - First, make the blindness last until they are killed, because once a person is blinded in real life I don’t know if you can just ā€œremove the blindness.ā€ :skull: That way, blindness can be more realistic than anything else in the history of the Hive :sweat_smile: (this is a joke, the hive is VERY realistic)


Refills - These already work well, but maybe have it slowly give them back like one per 0.25 seconds until you are full on them, this could also be funny since you could spam to end up using like 32 instead of 16. Also, make it unable to give it to you if you already are full on them. :smile:


Iron Man/Diamond Dave - These already work :shocked:


Impostor - This also already works :shocked: :shocked:


NEW POWERUPS - Everything below is a new powerup that doesn’t exist already!


Dash - Simple, works like a leap in the Bridge and allows you to dash fast across the map.


Bomb Egg - These would be rare similar to Impostors and would allow you to chuck a bomb at the enemies instead of a regular egg. Bombs would break a lot of blocks, :shocked: and would instantly kill anyone who is in 5 blocks of the bomb. :skull: To prevent it from being TOO OP, all the kills would only shrink the border by if it was one kill, but you still get your XP! :sweat_smile: (I might be no brain, but I’m pretty sure this doesn’t exist?)


Big Bomb Egg - This would be one of the mega powerups, and when thrown would break 50% of the enemy blocks and would kill anyone who is withing a 10x10 radius of those blocks. Would only shrink the border by three kills, or less if less people were killed. :smile: This would be a really rare one, maybe being at a 10% chance to spawn as a big powerup!


Chicken - This would be well- a chicken :chicken: and it would just attack the enemies, doing 2.5 hearts of damage, it would be killed instantly when hit, but it could get you a few kills if no one focuses on it. :sweat_smile:


The Border Shrinker - When used, it would shrink the border by one more than a regular kill would. To prevent it from being TOO OP, it would only spawn if the difference in space was within 10 blocks from the normal position, with the exception of spawning on the seriously losing side. :sweat_smile: That way, sweats can’t just get it right when they are gonna win so they can use it and destroy.


Maps

This part is well- new Maps! These ones would be much more engaging and fun, leading to better gameplay. :smile_tear:


Mines - This would be in a mine, and would have multiple sections where you could attack the enemy. There would be a section on the left, right, and top where you can attack from above making it hard for the people below to fight back! The cave would be filled with ores! :smile:


Cubic - This would be styled like the bridge Cubic, where there would be a lot of parkour and you could fall into the void. When you fall, you will respawn. The map would be green and blue, signifying the two teams! :smile: :green_circle: :blue_circle:


Skies - This one would look a LOT like a Skywars map, :sweat_smile: with bridges from fake enemies leading to the middle. There would be a barrier looking thing to showcase the border of teams, and it would look like the Skywars pre-game thing. :cloud:


Temple - This would look like a regular map, :smile_tear: but there would be a lot of traps that will do things such as give you slowness or launch you in the air if you touch them, but none will kill you! :skull:


Other Changes

To make the people who maxed the game not mad, the level will increase, adding more cosmetics and unlocks. There will also be a special Hub-Title given to anyone who maxed the game before the update, so the people who were able to do it feel more special! :smile:

Hope I didn’t forgot anything, please vote, and enjoy your day! Bye!

Anything to save poor little clucky :sob::front_facing_baby_chick:

If anything, The Hive should just make it SnowWars again, the limited time mode that came every December before the Arcade.

It’s a failed game that struggles to maintain 100 consistent players at once. Player counts would be bigger if it was limited again.

So… does that mean you don’t like the idea? Also, making it snow wars removes the chance of like 99% of the players maxing it…

Hive quadrupled kill exp to 5 and tripled win exp to 30.

ADD CROSSBOWS [sorry i just have hard feelings toward the regular one. BTW: maybe add arrows too? As an upgrade?]

GW isn’t a bad game, it’s just annoying at times. We need more than just a xp update. Definitely voted.
