Why HG's Almost Dead

Very good comparison. 2012 HG was very fun with all the kits etc. but the only problem I see is the skill cap. Overtime everybody has gotten way better making HG less enjoyable overtime.

 

People don't know how to accept change, they see it and they instantly go on a raging spree on why it's bad but fail to think how it can improve.

 

The problem with HG was the competition. New people who joined in 2012 were around the same competition with other players. Eventually more skilled players game and new things like quickdropping and traps were created/discovered. When I joined MCPVP HG 2 years ago, I didn't know a clue about any of this, didn't even know what soup was. Needless to say I died quickly as I just spent my time mining.

Nosoup killed off HG as well. It was meant to be the solution for newbies to join HG and start playing it.Nosoup was the more easy way out of HG and all it did was cause more problems. The only way to ensure a win is if you are teaming with a player. Anything other than that and your chances to winning are slim.

Even if you made HG as it was in 2012, you won't even make it feel like it was back then. Players are more skilled now than before. Newbies will still die and have no chance to survive without investing time on learning how to soup and what not.

 

I agree with you except for the no soup part. No soup actually brought more players to MCPVP, and now Brawl, and I have killed teams in no soup with strategy. I think you're kind of like me, you charge into a fight no matter what. No soup is more strategy, and once you've mastered the strategy teams aren't too big of a problem

 

This eventually happens to most servers with a pvp aspect. The good people become godlike, thats why War is dying off as well.
