    Server to have improvement on: Skywars

    What you want improved:
    Adding parkour, a roof, changes to kits(Described below)

    Reason why:
    I think that the new spawn area for Skywars is great. It really is. But I believe there are a few thing that should be changed.

    1)
    My first suggestion is adding a short, or long, parkour/obstacle course course. It would add interest to the server, give something for players to do while waiting for a friend to finish up a game, or be a fun challenge against a worthy opponent. I am currently making a few courses for a parkour builder application, so that should be fun.

    2)
    My second suggestion is adding a roof to the spawn area. This is due to the changes in weather which happen quite often. When it rains it causes a lot of lag, and the old spawn had a roof, as well as the spawns of almost every other server. Usually when it rains I got on KitPvP for a few minutes until the storm stops, and just adding a high roof with WorldEdit should fix it all.

    3)
    And my last suggestion is quite a big one, and I am not sure that everyone will support it. There has been a recent rule reinstated about "Bow spam". Basically you can't shoot a player with a bow until 60 seconds after the game begins. I personally have had a bad experience with the rule(Yonda kicked me because I shot him to death at 40 seconds) but I don't think it should be removed, it is a good rule. I suggest a 30-60 second delay on receiving your items from your kit. This would completely fix distanced spawn killing, and make it a touch fairer on the players who don't have a rank or the ingame money to choose a kit. I have seen this type of setup on one other server, Survival Games on Hypixel, and I believed it was a great addition to the game, stopping the donators with overpowered kits from killing people right off spawn. As I said, not everyone will support this proposition, put please consider it, and everything else I have suggested.

    Thanks for reading,
    ~Cheese.

    I personally like the idea.. but the 60 second rule is stupid. You should be able to shoot people who rush mid with your bow, so maybe a 20 second delay would be helpful. 60 is WAY too much, I've tried and tested (using snowballs as my bow, as I've never used a kit before) and the optimum is about 20 seconds

    I really like the idea. And it is posible (only the delay thing is for surge) but everything else posible for yonda.

    I thought it was a bit long, but since the new rule is 60 seconds, I didn't want it to look like I was trying to shorten it.

    Just a small update, what its like when it rains, and another small but embarrassing mistake. 2014-05-15_16.01.53.png
    As you can see, rain has an enormous effect on frame rate. And my computer is quite decent. People who can just move on the hub from the lag, will possibly be forced to leave when it rains.
    And as you can see below, whoever placed this sign spelt GGiinger wrong. Here it states "GGiiinger. 2014-05-15_16.02.05.png

    The 60 second rule makes gold almost useless. I use the armour kit now but it's terrible. As soon as sooon as someones bridging we should be aloud to shoot
     
    CheeseQuacks and Yum44 like this.

    Amen to that.
     
  9. Thing you said about the 20 sec delay before for getting kits. Does that count for all kits or just bow?

    I only tried with bow but u would limit the enderpearl use as well

    Maybe just all kit items. You could be able to donate $5 to decrease the delay to 10 seconds or something lol.

    Nahh. The reason I didnt mention others tho is cuz I just dont see the 20s rule being relevant for them. But I guess to make it a clean rule we could make all kits have a grace period of 20s at the start

    Why can players use eggs and snowballs? Bows are used for the same thing with a bit more range

    Whole point of this is to stop spawn killing

    I still think a delay would fix all problems.
