Hi all, Survival is a server about surviving and the myriad of functions that it has now has indeed made the survival server interesting and engaging for all, if not most. There are many ways to survive in the server, with the easiest way being just building a safe small little farm and sitting at home rotting away. The more ambitious one of course, would venture out into the wild, but even then, with strong weapons and armors, there aren't really any true challenges out there for the adventurous survivors. What happens next? People issue challenges to other players in the survival server, seeking 1 V 1 and PvPs. By far, players are the toughest challenge that those adventurous survivors can face. So why not? Introduce something new, something interesting, something to challenge these survivors who are constantly on a lookout for 1 V 1 and constantly think they are the best? May I suggest to you, a Mob Arena. Mob Arena is a concept similar to that of Gladiators in the past, where players are thrown into a pit to fend off endless (well not really) hordes of mobs. The Arena could be made such that there are different levels, catering to different levels of players. This would offer a breather away from the usual PvPs that people constantly try to prove themselves to be the best in. Instead, why not pit yourself against the horrors in the Arena and really see who emerge as the strongest survivor? Well as of now this just comes of as an interesting concept to me. I've made a mini mob arena in the survival server just today with not much success as people basically just ignore and don't even bother coming to take a look. I did receive some good feedbacks from those who came and hence, that has encouraged me to bring this idea up. Of course there has to be rules set and stuffs which I would gladly leave to the higher-ups to decide on. Unless you guys want me to play a part =). Till then, I hope this idea could be taken into consideration, even if not now, I hope this will go live some time in the future. It's not that hard of a feature to make anyways
Hmm, don't think it will have his place in the Survival server, don't take the word to serious, in real time Survival is a very different type of game mode! I agree with you when it's in Minigames and I love that game! +1
I did actually think it wouldn't fall into the survival server Nevertheless, it would be a great addition Tweaks could be made to make it viable in the survival server though, such as through the introduction of storylines and "quests"? (Another room for expansion of ideas maybe? )
Hmm I don't really think the Survival Head admin would agree with it, but the minigames Head admin maybe does. But sadly he is busy with many updates and etc.
Owwwwww :/ Haha, I guess I'll just hold on to that glimmer of hope that someday, some time in the future, these features would go live =)
I wish that would work, though the thing is most people don't even bother reading the instructions when they come. It results in a large crowd of people just wandering around and eventually losing their patience to wait. In fact most don't even have the patience to wait at the observation deck until it's their turn :/
it would basically be an unstable xp farm, if you really want a challenge I'd use mutant mobs or op as shit regular mobs
There are actually 2 ways to make it challenging. One way would be to have mutant mobs and op ones as you suggested. Another could be to limit what items, armors and weapons could be brought into the arena. Well I chose the latter for my mini arena yesterday (obviously since I can't make mutant mobs lol) and a lot of players died even while just fighting zombies and skeletons x)
With lots of blocks and a few mob spawners you can essentially make your own mob arena, you can then invite other players to it if you'd like
I actually enjoyed the arena, it poses quite some challenge to me personally (I hate PVP, not to mention sword fighting). However Clear Entities does get in the way of the challenge. I survived once due to that. Well that's what he did today, I died twice though.
I did already make my own mob arena with blocks and spawners. In fact, the arena came complete with switches for lighting, a large gate, as well as an observation deck. I held the first mob arena competition on the day I posted this thread. A lot of players did tp over to have a look, but as the arena was player-made, it was hard to control a large crowd (I only had myself to give instructions and guide the players). In the end, I closed the arena though it still sits in the basement of my house now for random interested players to try. It was a fun experience, at least for me, though short-lived =)
Hehe, it's awesome. Except for the fact that when you showed me, you left me in there to die. :'( That made me sad. But keep up the good work.
Sure just hit me up anytime you see me online =) @CCPrincess I didn't leave you to die I just raised the challenge bar for you since you have got immortality =)
