Better Cornucopia loot at the beginning?

[static_nightmare]

I play MCSG a lot, and one of the things that i find really unfair is that the complete luck of the cornucopia chests. I'm pretty much always there as quickly as possible (perfect jump times on breeze, getting into a chest from as far out i can get etc. and it's still nearly impossible to take 2 which is perfectly fine. However, i find a that on many occasions loot in the cornucopia is just CRAP, as of 2 minutes ago when i opened it to find nothing but one arrow. On other occasions, i pick up a loot like a stone sword and an iron chest plate (lucky me ). I understand you don't want to make some players overpowered at the start, but if there is any way to boost up the cornucopia loot only at the beginning of the game, such as adding a third tier of chests specifically for the cornucopia at the beginning of the game, because this really bad luck gives a really bad disadvantage for the player who has just started the game.

My ideas were that maybe there should be at least one kind of weapon (axe, sword, bow, flint and steel) in each chest, at least one piece of gold+ armor in each chest, and at least one piece of cooked food, plus the possibility of arrows, iron and gold, diamonds, and that kind of stuff. This way, you know that going to corn at the start will probably be an advantage if you're fast.

Sorry for long post, just trying to get a point through (kinda ragey atm after that 1 arrow chest, and then i got killed by some newb with a wooden sword 2 minutes later )

i don't think this is a good idea, if every chest has some kind of weapon there will be to much fighting in the beginning of te game.. everybody would just try to kill each other.. there has to be a difference in the chests in my opinion..

i must say i understand why you think it.. but i think its not a good idea

Isn't this a good thing? More people with weapons means theres a increased risk for going to corn, but a greater reward. I think this sounds better then the possibility of crappy loot, and no killing.

if everyone has a weapon.. the game would stay almost fully at corn.. everybody will try to fight immediately. because if you kill somebody u get his stuff.. so they will stay at the corn just to fight..

I never go for the corn because if i do people take my chest route

There's only 8 chests at corn, so its not like everybody would be killed. Plus, people may get a bow but no arrows, or a wooden axe or flint and steel which still can't do much. Corn should be the bloodbath its supposed to be, not just some casino where you may or may not get good stuff.

i still think it is good as it is.. because there has to be a chance that u get almost nothing.. u have to be lucky.. but i have won sometimes without even getting 1 thing of corn chests.. and yes it is definitely helping if you get stuff from it..

Exactly, I dont understand why they dont make the corn more risky. Its meant to be a bloodbath, but I dont think I have ever been killed at corn.

For the 20 times i have won i never got 1 thing at of the corn chests i usually go on my route before others take it

Got killed once at corn. Out of about 100 games, ONCE

i could be wrong.. but won't people start complaining when there will be much more fighting at the corn because they die to fast? I prefer getting nothing from corn and live.. than die in an huge fight at the start of the games.. and be out of the games in like 2 min..

I don't see why not. Its an extra aspect to the games, and i like it
