Game Insights - Survival Season 3 Update Proposal

Hey guys,
As some of you know, I've been the Bedrock Game Insights lead for a few months now. This doc has seen multiple leads and MANY months of meetings, but these fantastic people on Bedrock GI got it all worked out, and we're finally ready to show it to you guys. So, without further ado, here it is:

Note: We will be resetting the map for Season 3
Note 2: NOTHING IS CONFIRMED, this is just our proposal

Thanks to Bedrock GI for putting up with the endless madness concerning this document, to all the lovely people who gave their input on our design polls, and a special thanks to @GuardianInASuit for driving me up an absolute wall at every opportunity making this thread possible.

 

Awesome thread Zap! I don't play survival so I can't form a well-rounded opinion on if these are good ideas in reality but as an outsider they look great! Keep up the great work GI o/

 

its here!!!

 

Time to make Season 4!

 

Internal Screaming

 

I like this new concept, however I don’t really like how claims are limited to only 250, say if someone makes a gigantic base but they can’t claim any more because they ran out of claims. Other than that this sounds exciting and I would definitely join on season 3.

 

Finally!! A Update for Mineplex Survival <3

 

I like all of this except for the 250 claim limit. I think 500 claims would be more reasonable, but still might not be enough for some pIayers. I like to build a lot of things in survival, and this would keep me from doing that. In my opinion, claim limits are unnecessary. I have never had trouble finding unclaimed land in all 16 servers, and I'd hate to have my claims restricted if I was getting close to the limit and wanted to build a big base like another user said above.

 

Those ideas sound amazing, I'm very excited! Great job ;D

 

True. It is unnecessary, because we should have the freedom to claim country's but there should be a system when a player is Inactive for a very long time that claim should be deleted.

 

Can't wait for this so much, played season 2 for years and it was some of the best times on minecraft for me.

The only thing I don't like is being able to teleport out of peoples claims to the surface near by because that just gives people the opportunity to scout around your base or build around you when otherwise you would want to be left in peace.

I disagree with this because I'd spend sometimes months away from mineplex because I have a lot to do in real life so to come back and find everything unclaimed would be unfair, and I'm sure you wouldn't like that either.

 

I kinda skimmed through this doc but it sound great from what I’ve read. It’s not survival any more. It’s an entirely different game. If that’s good or bad its yet to see. I can tell how much effort went into the proposal. Like toastie said above /stuck could be used to find vulnerabilities in bases claims. If you missed a spot it would show the person the unclaimed chunk. I don’t have a solution for that but I can see it possibly becoming a problem. I love most of this new stuff but make sure the glitches don’t carry over from season two. Look up mineplex survival on YouTube, some of the first videos are showing how to do some glitches that need fixed

Yesterday I fell into a small ravine and couldn't pillar out because it was claimed, it would be nice to find a way out that didn't involve killing myself and starting from spawn all over again! plus the only signs of claim was a 4 block tall pillar of birch planks

 

This Sounds Amazing! But The 250 Limit is pretty brutal imo, because as far as i know 1 claim is 1 chunk (16 x 16) meaning we can only claim 250 chunks and that isn't a lot for many players because i know many players whos bases exceed 250 claims. Also using this video they tell us that survival has 1250 chunks and assuming that its a square 1250 x 1250 = 1562500, therefore you could easily increase the amount of chunks to 1000 because the average player count is ~500 so 1000 x 500 = 500000 meaning 1562500-500000 = 1062500. You still have over 1 million chunks left to claim!

Edit: Forgot To Mention Thats Only For ONE server and there are 16 servers meaning over 16 million chunks left to claim! Thats pretty insane

 

Well I guess it's a good thing we're not using flat worlds for survival then…

In all seriousness, I get what you're saying, but given that we don't want new players being completely shut out of the game, we decided 250 would be a fair number given the size of the claims. However, if the need arises, we can definitely revisit that number.

 

i dont like th idea of the gold thing and the pvp but other than that it semes prity good

 

I can't imagine living without GBoxes or Gapples because all of the players in Mineplex Survival has been passing down the tradition to collect and sell GBoxes it has been rather a Ecosystem and Currency to them. Maybe just a few tweaks with survival?

 

Breh
Their not even “G” anymore. The g refers to god. God refers to 32k. No 33k, no G. No economy. Just renamed items in different boxes.

 

Sorry about that, I haven't been able to log in anymore so I don't really know what is happening in survival.
