    With a potential reset coming I thought of an idea that may get players coming back even if it's for a little bit.

    Servers like HCF blow up and shrivel after every reset. When the map resets, everybody fights to get resources and a base location, ultimately increasing the servers population temporarily and earning more potential for donations and exposure.

    This can work in warz although a less frequent resets.

    My first idea, because a warz reset is really easy to do and is very likely going to happen, is a reset occurring every few months. I've already seen players coming back such as robs team just for the reset. Im sure if a reset were to occur every 3 or 4 months, it would excite players to earn their spot as the best, the richest and reign over warz for a short period of time. These players will buy boosters, ranks and I wouldn't doubt that some tp boosters will be present to speed up the process of running Alts up.

    My second idea is related to my first one. Warz seasons. If a reset were to occur every few months, each reset would bring on a new season. Each season will feature a new focus in the game, perhaps a new update and if not a new update, maybe a new build from the build team in a non-dev related update. What the new season will also feature is a player of the month that will have a chat broadcast, a top 5 play videos of that season, and perhaps a top video of the season such as a montage or funny moments (if this were to be a season right now, id nominate popmasters best players of all time up there due to the editing, commentary, accuracy, length and overall effort put into it.)

    My third idea relates to the second. Top 5 plays. If we have seasons every few months (probably 3-4) or longer, we should have something that helps make each season distinct such as a new top plays video or player of the season.

    For example: Player of Season I goes to Yorei! (Thread link)
    - the thread will include why they are the player of the season, some achievement and perhaps any videos they came out with that season.

    Now onto the plays I think it would be a great idea to have a top 5 plays like we used to. I wouldn't mind editing and commentating it, but I'm sure there are other more skilled people doing it. I would want this featured on the oh-so inactive brawl channel because old players are subscribed and they may want to come back. Top 5 plays may inspire players to upload videos to YouTube even when they never usually do which will encourage exposure for the server and legit play. the top 5 plays can include anything, from 1v3 clutches to a midair combo kill on an iron, then placing barb to save yourself. If someone were to edit it they wouldn't include themselves unless it truly was an insane ass clip.

    But yeah! Ik that was annoying or long to read but I think it's some good ideas that should be considered by brawl staff and I hope most of them respond to this thread. Also players comment below what you think.

    I think this is a great idea. It would make things fresh in the WarZ community. Not having people be looted on servers forever and ever and letting others get a chance at it too. Another thing I would like to see is a way to get the "Whitenames" involved. I don't know how you would do that but they make up a big section of the community and deserve something in return.

    I agree that resets frequently would be extremely helpful to the community and would help bring players back (like myself.) It gives something fresh to the server and gives us a reason to play. I feel that 3 months would work well, because it gives a few months for you to gain back what you had before the reset. An issue I see with this, could be the community complaining that they're losing everything they just worked for. Sure, resetting every few months would keep the game fresh for a little bit, but then it would get stale because it would just be the same thing over and over again. Which is where the next discussion comes into play.

    With the additions to seasons, the reset every couple months would stay fresh longer than expected. Each season could provide, as you said, a new update and/or a new build. Do you think with the non-developer related updates, it should be a new map? Or just new builds incorporated into the already made map to keep things a bit more fresh.

    I decided to respond to all these separate passages as one because it all has the same focus. Would this chat broadcast for the player of the season go something along the lines of this? "The last player of the season, Striker_Sly, had a whopping *insert information.* Think you can beat him? Give it a go and show what you can do!" Obviously not that exact thing, but something similar to it. And, would these player(s) of the season(s) receive something in congratulations for being the player of the season? Or just the broadcast & then some recognition for it? I know a lot of the MC-WarZ Community enjoy being able to compete for prizes & ranks and such.

    Would the Top 5 Play Videos be like what used to be posted on Brawl's YouTube Page?

    And what would the rewards / benefits be from winning this? We'd have to add some variety to keep it worth recording and uploading for.

    Top Video of the Season would be extremely nice. I think it'd be cool to have 3 Top Videos chose from the staff members, and then have the community pick which one should be showcased for the whole season, up until the next season's top video comes out. We've done something similar to this in the past and it was extremely fun and cool seeing all the different types of showcases there were.

    I extremely enjoy the part I bolded on this reply, and I think it would give players something to fight for, to be showcased across all of Brawl.

    Onto the last part, I"m sure there's many people who would be very qualified to do this for Brawl. There's so many people who have good commentating voices and can make people laugh in it at the same time. I don't see anything wrong with the last part. I responded to the end of the final paragraph in my previous couple of paragraphs.

    I'd say the player of the season would receive either a rank for a month or boosters, I'm really not sure what would be best for brawl but I'm sure that doesn't matter too much as long as it's something worth competing for.

    Also the top 5 plays or top 3 whatever it should be the winners can receive ranks like 4-5 VIP for a month on any account they want, 3-2 MVP for a month any account and 1 elite for a month any account. If it's top 3 then maybe 3-2 MVP for a month and 1 elite for a month.

    I like your idea for 3 top videos tbh because I read it over and yeah 1 video every three months is stretching it, even now with warz player count there's still a bunch of videos per month some of them being well-edited montages so yeah a top 3 videos may give more hope for people to actually upload.

    I never actually stated where the info would be shown. Yes the season broadcast message would be about last seasons player but maybe there would be a warz news thread every season by a mod displaying the season recap, the player of the season summary and prize, the top 3 videos summary and prizes, and the top 5 plays video. Also the news could include what update(s) we have in store for the next season.

    Tbh didnt even read your thread, I had this idea in my head since the reset was proposed. Regardless who cares who made the idea, the point is we both want it to go through and nobody should take credit. We should just have the update and thats that

    Each season should have something special, and the seasons should be like it is in real life. (Summer, Winter etc...)
    They should be enabled by a command, which is controlled in a schedule database that works on date. That way it would not create any lag, and the plugin dont need to go thru a big ass loop that lasts for over a year.

    Just save the value into a config like: " Season: 'SUMMER' " then check what the String season is equal too whenever doing something special for each season.

    I agree that that would be a nice prize, but like you stated, it'd need to be something that would be best for Brawl. Maybe they'd just receive a month of either Global VIP, or a month of WarZ MVP, and they'd be allowed to choose what they got?

    Top 3 Videos, I personally think, would add a higher level of competition. I know there was some speculation about the Top 3 Videos because of favoritism and being well known in the community on the last one, with Eso, Jakob, & CJ. Instead of just looking at the clip and saying "that was a nice clip" We should go in-depth thinking about the strategy (did he / she just rush it with no cares in the world? Or did he / she (more or less) plan it out to see the best way to attack would be. Something along those lines, instead of just looking at kills.


    I'd like a Seasonally WarZ News Thread. I think it would keep the community that no longer play but stay on the forums updated, and possibly show that we're finally doing something to spice up WarZ, instead of the same thing over and over again. Possibly if they are adding what updates would be in store for the next season, keep it very little, so we'd have something to look forward to and speculate for the next season.
