Deathmatch

I agree that people digging holes and what not is annoying. However, I think that this idea is a little over kill. If we were to add a death match at the end, it would no longer be a true classic server. Instead, we could add a maximum block limit (to keep people from towering) and we could add a map feature that you could buy with points that shows you the nearest player.

 

4 players is too much, considering there are 7-8 people per game. 3 people?

 

-1 That would be okay for a 16 player limit.

 

I like the idea in general, but I would prefer something like this: After the death of the third last player (2 players remaining) a timer would start. After 5 - 10 minutes the last 2 players get teleported to the middle.

With this "deathmatch" you wouldn't need a special deathmatch arena and it would effectively prevent players from hiding forever.

 

As Roke said I think you should just get TPed to the middle.

 

Deathmatch and Skywars is not something good thing same. Skywars is a Sky-War, not even a deathmacth. -1

 

Im actually one of those people who's camps. I like to make castles with a cobble gen and its really fun. Anyways, it's not very hard to kill someone in a tower. If you're the last 2 alive, odds are the non-camper can easily get to the middle and get stacks of blocks, water/ice, potions and arrows, making a rush on the tower a simple defeat. Most people are just not smart enough to place water, which is why I usually win camping. However, every now and then someone is smart enough and easily kills the underpowered me. As for shifting people, spamming F3+A helps a lot

 

But yet hiding is another strategy to win in skywars, just as it is in hg or sg. It can win games it is VERY annoying and can make gameplay last forever. But it is certainly used by numerous players (mostly non-experienced) this deathmatch would also take away the isea of the underdog winning the game. Because one snowball can end a game, but with a deathmatch, whichever play has better equipment will generally win.

I don't think they should implement a deathmatch. I like Skywars because it doesn't matter who has the best gear or if someone is better than you. Strategy is very important and some people like to camp. I personally rush to mid, but I've died so many times to snowballs/eggs and lost the game, but hey thats skywars :V

 

That's the only thing I would have to say... except... this has been suggested lots of times, but at the same time I really do think Deathmatches need to be implemented... without it, the game just drags along and is very boring to like hunt every player down in 10 minutes.

 

Agreed. With the new setup coming for Skywars, with 12 people in one game, a deathmatch should be implemented. I feel like players should be able to start a deathmatch after there are 3 people by simply typing /dm or /deathmatch. They should be teleported to the small "in-between islands," each player 2 islands away from each other. That way they can easily get to each other and the games don't take 30 minutes. If Skywars will be changing to the edition of Skywars that most other servers implement now, which is where the world begins to crumble after about 5 minutes, then the 3 players in the deathmatch should be teleported to the center island. That way, they don't have a crumbling world to deal with, and can simply do some 1v1v1 PVP. That's just my 2 cents, feel free to criticize.

 

I don't see the point of having a deathmatch on skywars. At best if we do the same style deathmatch as survival games with a giant arena it'll just be some scared out of their mind players running away from a bulkier player eventually being nobody wins. As it is Skywars has it's own build in deathmatch of eventually one of the 2-3 players left gets gutsy and moves towards the other's island and then gets knocked off. We have plenty of space as it is anyways so I just don't see the point.

 

Death match would be a nice addition to skywars. Sometimes people just hide and nobody could ever find them unless they hack. Yes people with better gear will dominate, but if you actually 'participate' in the match, you should be the winner. You can't just sit down and wait for opportunities come to you, dedicate yourself to succeed.

 

I like Roke's idea. Hiding is annoying, especially if people tower up to the glass box and put lava. However, I doubt any changes will be made to the current Skywars.

 

To the current Skywars, nothing will be changed. However, it might be implemented in the new update coming out for the game.
