Pit or No Pit? Forcefield Wall, Barrier, or Enclosing?

I'm a trapper, and all your ideas are anti-trap. I don't get fun from PvP, so I think there needs to be a healthy balance. The forcefield coulds till have the texture but do damage if passed. People just need their head screwed on right if they're winning, they need to play safe. The pit is fine IMO but needs to be later like maybe an hour or so.

 

I would go for Pit
Force field wall and make it close in after time

 

Pit + Forcefield wall

 

I don't see the point in having the pit. 95% of games end before the pit, and some people just wait around for the pit to happen if they don't want to face traps. The only way I can see a game going for too long (over 1 hour), is if people just use mobility kits such as grappler to keep running away (WHICH IS WHY MOBILITY KITS NEED TO BE REMOVED!). In the rare occurrence of a game going on for over an hour, I think an admin can just get on and tell the players to hurry up. (Like in 2012)

 

In my opinion, I prefer the pit to an enclosing forcefield. I feel the forcefield closing in is too restrictive towards traps/towers as most of these are far out of the map anyway, and with the pit people at least have time to try out their trap/tower since it is 60 mins.

 

I have played around 40 games on mcbrawl so far. Not a single one has gotten even relatively close to the pit. If you believe that mobility kits have a place in HG, then you sir are wrong. If you think about it, the only way to really avoid teams, is running. When teams are using mobility kits, there is no way for solo players to run away. Mobility kits make teams far too overpowered. That is the main reason they need to be removed.

 

I just won a 5 min game xD I have a screenshot will upload it sometime later

 

Pit +1 for me. I never won a single game before

Spoiler

If i play 100 games and get defeated, i would get no pit

 

Remove Barrier Wall. Removes the sudden surprise in the game.

Remove Pit but I hardly believe anyone would choose that option so instead

Keep Pit but game continue forever until someone dies.

Barrier Wall will be added to prevent running outside the pit.

 

The barrier wall is great. About the pit...I liked the old pit design with the hole. The new one isn't really a pit, but a battlefield. I would like the old pit where people spawn at the bottom though. Let the games go on for 60 minutes as usual though.

 

Enclosing! Way better option than the pit, allows for some slack in playing style.

The pit just favors the guy with better stuff, usually the feast winner.

 

I like barrier blocks that close in slowly over time. Also, I think the size of the arena should be determined by the amount of players, so games don't drag on. For example, a 20-player game's arena would be smaller than one with 100 players.

 

but then anyone whos smart at the beginning who make bases near the forcefield to prevent players who try to hunt them down instantly will die automatically. Which would then favor anyone whos on the hunt. You need to remember that the game cant favor anyone.

 

Don't make a base on the edge then lol
I'm talking about making it slowly move in.

 

If you are a solo trapper making any solo trap is near impossible with tons of hunters hunting you down. So No it has to be somewhere near the edge

 

With 100 playeres in the game, with the mechanics I said, the map would be huge, and slowly closing. ~1 block per minute at the start, ~1 block per 5 seconds later on (an hour or two).
