Less Diamonds on a map?

[survivalfanatic]

Hi, I thought I throw in a suggestion, being new-ish and all, of the diamond issue. Basically, it seems to me once someone has diamond sword etc they're mostly powerful and so quite predictable that they're going to win (unless up against another diamond-person, or they just don't fight back xD).

I was thinking, for one of the maps (I say survival game 1) couldn't they're be like one diamond, or maybe even none to add a bit more skill to it perhaps with weapons? Its just a suggestion so please share your views.

And the thing with two people left at the end in DM.I think it be cool if they was killed automatically after a set time limit if they refuse to kill each other or something. Just a thought! Kinda anti-climax when the game just ends. lol

but..but i like diamonds :3 and a diamond sword only does 0,5 hearts more damage than a iron sword.... so a pro tip is to make up a chest route with lots of chest, and you'll get diamonds pretty easy

Oh, does it? Thought it did more, or at least it seems to. lol I do need to plan my chest routes more, but so many maps to remember for.

and if you are new to a map just go into stuff like houses or caves and you will most likely be able to find chest. And after you have played a map about 5-10 times you sould know it pretty good.

Yeah, I know about that. I kinda wish though after a time limit lava or something was dumped on them. LOL

We had that kimd of deathmatch arena before where sand would fall every 5 seconds or so. If u fall off, u fall in lava and die. But it got removed

Why on earth did it? That sounds awesome! And much more interesting.

I loved it but when MCSG updated to 1.3.1 (i think), they removed it. Dont know y

It was removed because it lagged really bad. As awesome as it looked and as functional as it was, it caused so much lag for some people that it was impossible to actually fight on it...they were going to update it with some small changes to reduce lag, but they never did. Ever since 1.3, there has just been so many other issues to be working on that it's just not important enough to do right now. I'm not even sure it will ever come back. D:


Anyway, more on topic - trust me, seeing someone with a diamond sword isn't quiet the end of the world. A chest route can help you find diamonds yourself, and it is possible to take out someone who has a diamond sword. (although a lot more difficult.) After having played for as long as I have, I've developed plenty of ways to take someone down even if he has a diamond sword...trust me, as long as the player isn't "highly ranked" in the top 100 of the leaderboards, they generally get a little cocky with that sword and make careless mistakes, like running straight into several of your arrows without making any attempt to avoid them, thinking it won't be a big deal when in reality it can easily cost them the win.

Long story short, people with diamond swords actually get taken down easily...you just don't see it. By the time you see a guy with a diamond sword, chances are he took down another guy, who took down another guy who had a diamond sword...lol. As the cycle continues, the person who wields the diamond sword was stronger than the last guy, until the guy in possession of it is too strong for a newbie to take down...that's when you'll start to learn little tactics and stuff to take him down, thus killing them and gaining the sword. That's how I learned, I played solo over and over, lose after lose, until I learned just what I was doing wrong and what I was doing right, then I started being the one with that diamond sword every game.


Too long; didn't read: I'm not sure the deathmatch arena will come back anytime in the near future, and people with diamond swords, while they always seem to win, isn't necessarily because of said benefit of the sword, and more that in order to get said sword, they must actually be skilled themselves (or lucky, but that's where the skilled people come in.) and the people you usually see/face are likely good at what they do since they've been playing a while.
(I should work on making my too long; didn't read's shorter...this is a giant post.)
