In Discussion Cake Wars Solos

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE add cakewars solos. I have no friends ):

 

Personally, I dislike the idea of adding in Cake Wars Solos. The heart of Cakewars is teamwork, whether it is multiple players both defending and attacking other people's cakes. In addition, the maps would have to be revamped to accommodate a solo gamemode. Furthermore, I believe it would reduce the amount of players in other games, making it harder for games to start. Although I understand that is frustrating play duos or standard with random teammates, and facing parties, I find it much more interesting to be able to play with different types of players.

 

There has been a lot of discussion regarding adding a solo version of Cake Wars. I'll leave a few threads with the same topic linked in a spoiler at the bottom. However, the general consensus with the idea is that adding a Cake Wars solo version would divide the community. A ton of people would move from playing standard Cake Wars to solo, and this could cause some issues. This would mean that it would be harder to get into a standard version of Cake Wars and play the game because of the decreased player count.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of adding a solo version to the game. In my opinion, Cake Wars is very team-oriented and playing the duo's version is already hard enough. If a solo mode of the game was added, you have to realize how hard it would be for the games to function. Capturing the gem beacons and middle would be extremely difficult because you'd have to leave your island, meaning your cake is completely unprotected. I feel like this could cause games to end a lot quicker than they should, and it just overall wouldn't be fun leaving your island with such a vulnerable cake.

On top of this, there is a spawn timer when a player dies with their cake still not eaten. If you were to be killed on your island, then you'd have to sit through that entire timer before you could respawn and defend your cake. Meaning your cake would be completely susceptible to being eaten while you are waiting for the spawn countdown to end. Of course, you could make the argument that it should be removed or shortened, but that would completely alter the way games are played. The spawn delay is crucial because it adds consequence towards dying mid-game, and by taking this away players would be able to run back to their cake quick enough to prevent anyone from mining it immediately after they died.

However, there has been some discussion about removing the duo's version of the game to replace it with a solo version. While this hasn't been confirmed, it is being considered. I suggest keeping an eye on the forums for any updates regarding Cake Wars and maybe we could see this added in the future. With enough support like yours, I wouldn't say it's impossible. However, that's just my opinion on the subject.

Im on a team solo half the time and i win a lot against teams of two. Honestly it would work and it would be different then standard and duos, but thats what will make it fun. And capturing beacons wouldn't be impossible, because many times people wouldn't rush you, and if they you just take them out of the game then go for the beacons. It would be somewhat similar to duos, but the differences are what make it interesting and the ability to play by yourself would make it popular to all the people who are not always in parties. Also since they would probably use duos maps, the game would be 8 player so it would be shorter games and would probably be shorter queues than duos.Though i hope they dont take duos out because i have put so much time into it, but i would love to play solo and it would work and be enjoyable for many people.

 

How many threads does it take before people finally realizes there is about an equal amount of people that want and doesn't want cake wars solo.

 

I didn't say it would be impossible, just fairly difficult. Managing to protect your cake, get armor, capture beacons, and eliminate other players by yourself would be pretty challenging. I'm sure there are a ton of players who would enjoy to see a game mode like this added, but I'm just not a huge fan of it. If they were to add a mode like this, they would most likely create entirely new maps that are capable of supporting 16 players instead of reusing the duo's maps.

Also, I'm sure that the queues would be much shorter than duos for this game. However, I was talking about the queues for standard 4v4v4v4 Cake Wars. There are a lot of people that enjoy playing the standard mode, and by adding a solo mode into the game could cause complications with the queue for standard games. A lot of players would play the solo mode, which would make it harder to find games playing standard with the decreased player count.

 

It would just use the duos maps..

 

i think that in duos there is some one player teams

 

I think Cake Wars Solo would make the game almost to challenging. You have no help what so ever form any teammate. This would be very challenging since you would have to destroy another person’s cake and protect yours and kill other players all by yourself. I think there’s no real point having Cake Wars Solo.

 

Thats me literally every game im not in a party for duos.

 

yep

 

I personally think Cake Wars solo would just spread thin an already thinner player base of cake wars. The fact that the player base is divided on it shows while some people would play it, I think it would just contribute to longer and longer queue times.

Personally, the game just feels like it was meant to be played with a teammate, and if none of your friends are willing to hop on you can either random queue or if you want someone to play with I’m always available :)

I just think the game is substantially more fun with a teammate or teammates and instead of adding a solo mode, you can either solo queue or just ask some people in this thread to play!

 

Well, the fact is that it may be risky to leave your base, but its that way for everyone. Everyone will have to face that challenge, and it would make it different than standard and duos where some people could just rely on there teammate. Also its worth adding because, at least for duos, a lot of its players are not in parties, and therefore are at a disadvantage. Also it would take away having some games where one team has more players than another. Thats all, and i hope you have a great day.
