Hey GuildCraft! I've been playing BedWars for a while now, and realized that there's a lot of improvements that can be done. I've also read various suggestions on the BedWars discord, and feel that they had been forgetten as time has gone by. Therefore, I'll be posting them here, and obviously giving the individuals their credits, and then post some of my own. Part 1: Adding parties, so that friends can play together and be on the same team in the same game. Enabling flying in the waiting area, before the games starts. This way, players can take a look at the entire map, that they're about to play on. Adding an automated message, which mentions the game with the most players in queue, so people can play it. Add a popup saying "Your bed has been destroyed," instead of having it in chat, where it can easily be overlooked. Expand enderchest Adding a cosmetics menu in the main bedwars lobby. Similar to the one in the main GC lobby. Respawning with a wooden sword, rather than with nothing. All of those above were suggested by Blazimers, therefore all credits go to him. Part 2: Adding an actual waiting lobby, rather than using the map as one. Adding a 4 teams of 2, mode. Adding an information section in the lobby, containing rules, staff, any other necessary information. Rename "dealer" to "item shop" Adding a damage cooldown, allowing for players to defend their base. Time could be anywhere between 3-5 seconds. All of those above were suggested by TigerStrike, therefore all credits go to him. Part 3: The following include all of my personal suggestions. We could start by adding a suggestion section for bedwars on forums. Adding report section on forums. Adding a feature for players to view other people's stats, rather than just their own. Similar to eggwars. Add a couple more maps, perhaps an extra one per each gamemode. (8x2, 8x1, 4x4, 4x3) Adding a compass, which contains all the games available and their player count. In order for people to see which games are in session. If the compass above is added, perhaps remove the "Players online" title on the npc's, as it can get confusing sometimes. Players might think that there's actually 8/24 in one single game, and that another 16 are needed to start, when really it's 12 in total. This may keep them away from joining. Reduce game starting cooltime to 30 seconds, as sometimes players leave right before the game starts, after waiting for an entire minute. Or change it, so that after 30 seconds have passed, the game will start even if people leave. Adding an ingame coin system, which includes no purchable ranks, so it's equal for everyone. The system can be used to buy ingame cosmetic perks, such as trails and death messages, similar to Hypixel. Make final kills (killing someone after their bed is broken) give you either extra coins if the system is implemented, or a bit more score, like 20 extra. Displaying separate stats for both team and solo mode in lobby. Allowing for more competitiveness. These are all the suggestions I was able to gather from the bedwars discord from Blazimers and TigerStrike, as well as including some of my own. Thanks for reading, and feel free to give any feedback, always appreciated. I'll be tagging @aXed and @Megan , as ultimately they decide what gets changed.
Most of these ideas are just stuff pulled from hypixel. GC will never thrive this way, we need more unique things that make GC better than other servers. "Rename Dealer to item shop" What even is this suggestion, it literally doesn't matter and just makes GC bedwars more like hypixel. "Add a report section for bedwars" No other gamemode on GC has their own so bedwars obviously doesn't need one either. Overall, -1 almost all the ideas were for making GC less unique which is why people might choose GC over other servers.
Sure, we need more things that make GuildCraft unique. Though, what I'm trying to say is that there's small improvements like the ones mentioned that can be made, remember that the concept of bedwars is the same everywhere. Also by the report section, I think you misunderstood it. I was referring to an option for bedwars to be selectable in the drop menu, when creating a report, like the following.
I understand things like adding bedwars to report section and bug report glitch ect., That's obvious. But from your suggestions it really sounds like you're suggesting an almost identical copy from GC to hypixel bedwars which is really stupid.
Well, you're entitled to your opinion, so that's okay. Thanks for the feedback though, will be helpful for future threads
