    This is a question for everyone and is quite simple. I would like to hear from you guys how you feel the server is doing. Most of the time we have threads saying: oh my god everything is like a runaway train to hell!
    I don't think that mc-war is going to burn in a fire any time soon. This is my oppion though, and should be taken as such.

    Here's the long version: mc-war is about as adrenaline pumping that minecraft can get. That hasn't deminished much even after almost two years of playing. With the number of new players that we have relitivly frequently I don't see how mc-war is in danger of utter collapse as some of our pessimists seem to believe. At the same time I don't think mc-war is doing well (at least for us 'older' players). With the influx of new players this also means that god awful players who have heen playing for a long time have gotten to high levels. Since they seem to vastly outnumber the sensible ones of us they tend to end up teaching the new players (awed by the yellow or even orange tags) into their habits. So all in all, I think we shouldn't be so pessimistic, but I feel that we should keep on our toes.

    Anyways, ramblings aside, I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter. Is mc-war doing really really badly and I'm just being short sighted? Who knows. I look forward to this discusson!

    No poll :v
    I think the way it was designed is something that definitely ruined it.
    The idea of leveling up to get better weapons works at first, but then everyone has these OP weapons except for a select few, and we get this.
    CoD and Battlefield do it better, keeping weapons (mostly) balanced.

    I feel like it should be such a pay to win, as @BrawlerAce_ said, I wish it was more balanced. it takes a while... a long while... to achieve even level 30+ and even at that you don't have the best weapons. Also I think that being let's say level 30, and you have your famas, how is someone who has not donated to get scavenger be able to pull off a Nuke or an EMP at that? I think the ammo and guns need to be balanced overall.

    In terms of server popularity, we're still doing well, but overall gameplay has dipped down from what it was back in late 2012 - early 2013. In my opinion, the nuke killstreak and overall number of higher-leveled players are the root causes for War's bad outlook. The tryhardness of a lot of players doing anything in their power to nuke has really ruined the gameplay experience to newcomers.

    Masters of Minecraft,

    Game popularity will ebb and flow based the time of year and that said every game has a shelf life with players.

    I am optimistic on the outlook and here's why:
    1. The game is continuously evolving. Maps, weapons, and functionality are keys to enhancing the game play for veteran players.


    2. I've noticed the experienced players are very helpful with explaining how the game works to new players. Our community does have an opportunity to improve and as long as gamers feel like a part of the "in crowd" And have fun they will continue to play.

    3. The goal of the game is to get kills....that said I think game play will continue to evolve with the skill sets that are playing. I don't think try hards ruin the game.

    4. The forums are a great way for the community to learn about the game and participate in the evolution.

    5. I think the game is what we make it. If the pro players set the tone it really influences the newest players.

    Metrics and data don't lie, if we understand our key metrics regarding number of new players, perks or op weapons purchased, number of nukes per map, etc we can enhance the game play.

    Keep it Frosty and Classy,

    I'll just say some stuff and then leave. so yeah :V

    1. It is pretty exciting at the start. but loses it when you keep playing

    2. After you figure out what to do and how to nuke, it can get very easy

    3. THE COMMUNITY (Has to be mentioned.) can be very fun at times. but can also be a clusterf*** of idiots wanting to be like the 'pro' players

    4. Some people don't know how to play. With this i do not mean that they cannot use guns. instead i mean that some people play for other reasons then actually what it is supposed to be for. (People play to be the best, not to have fun.)

    5. The gun mechanic is very fun. altho sometimes, stuff just happens *cough cough* cbow *cough cough*

    6. mc-war is probably going downhill. Look at all the original members who enjoyed and liked playing. The first generation of mc-war (flux :c ) is gone and the second generation (Not the best, did have some good times) is ending soon. Now the third generation (The 'spamming the same gun, post vid, Iampronow' generation) Is probably not going to end very soon


    That was my diagnosis. now if you'll excuse me. I have to go to school :V

    100% agree. I feel like this is the root of all problems. Earlier you had a goal: Get better weapons. Today the goal is just to get better statistics, which is (my opinion) from where all the arguments and bragging started. Today half of the server uses overpowered weapons (skullcrusher, isolator, not only donor guns) - including me - and it isn't fun anymore. Earlier you were pumped when you got a simple 8-killstreak, today 5 people launch a nuke in one game.
    Guns should definitly be balanced so weapons like skullcrusher still give you minor advantages, but you can't just sit there and spray.

    There is nothing left to be added.

    But am I the only one who thinks that these Call of Duty maps are all horrible and boring?

    They aren't too bad IMO, but I like maps like favela more. At least, it would be good if it had detail.

    There needs to be a new fun time consuming gun game like an MMO.... Or just something that makes me play it for 200+ hours :V Destiny would be amazing...

    Mc war is getting too boring :V

    I find it interesting that the early commenters were light years more positive then the late ones.
    I need to write this down: mcbrawl has emotional fluxes based on how long it has been since an initial question.

    Back on topic: I agree in part with 90% of you guys. Yes, mc-war is sporting some pretty broken guns, doner or not, that have made the game hard. Mc-war has certainly lost its kind of "magical" flair now that most of us have played it for almost two or three years. On the positive side we still have this awesome community of people who (I belive) Will fight to keep this server alive. Wether that's helping new players or legitimately writing a post urging mc-war's survival to a mod/admin if the time comes. So yes, like I said before, mc-war is doing badly, but it's not dead yet.

    Yaaaay! Positivity!
    Also: really good input guys, thank you for making this a wonderful discusson

    In terms of popularity, we are doing good. In terms of the community, well...I would like all the immature people to grow up, get 5x more maature, raise their IG iq by at least 25%, then come back, it should be a little more pay2win since the level system does not work after a while, some of the really OP guns like skully should be donor. the killstreaks kinda ruin the gameplay and sometimes they ruin a gamemode *cough* nukes in CTF *cough*. I see people trying to nuke instead of actually going for the objective I.E. CTF. keep nukes in TDM just raise it to like a 25ks-35ks instead to make it harder to nuke and makes them less common and for gods sake REMOVE nukes from CTF so people actually go for the objective. Please split the teams up based on player level so there arnt like 3 level 100+ players on one team and the highest level player on the other team is a level 67. We need lots new
    1. maps-to spice some gamemodes up a bit
    2. guns- adds new obsticals and challenges to the game
    3. gamemodes-adds a new style to playing
    Add these and remove a few things stated above and it would be great

    The only reason why people rage is because of the unbalance in weapons that caused it in the first place

    That's the thing, there's two reasons
    The first reason is of course, op weapons
    The second reason is that people think they're invincible when they have op weapons, not realizing that low level weapons are good too. so when they're killed by one they rage because they think it's a high level gun or since they've been humiliated
