Starter kit on platforms

[mavreckjc]

Hi, I have a suggestion to make the games more balanced, and generally improve the games.

Here are some key points highlighting the suggestion, and showing why it is worth-while to add.

• They dominate pvp, and make the thought of fighting someone else with a weapon when you don't have one is absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic.While I realize that there is no chance that you guys could possibly remove swords from the game (I don't want this to happen either), there is a way to prevent it.
• When I say starter kit on platforms, I don't mean a big ridiculous starter kit with full iron armor, diamond swords, no. All I think you would need is a badly damaged leather chestplate, and leggings, a wooden sword, and maybe a raw pork chop. Keep in mind you could easily tweak what the players start off with to whatever you find more convenient and reasonable.
• I'm just sick of having 150 points lost and being kicked from the server by someone else aiming over me and clicking four times with a mouse, with no chance of me countering then with the typical nothing at all you start off with. I realize that everyone starts the same, but some get lucky and get stone swords in the corn and instantly go on a rampage killing all the people with nothing with no effort or skill required.
• Unfortunately for some players that aren't so lucky or seem to constantly get the items they take out of the chest not actually showing up in their inventory, they are an easy kill. Doing this will give all players a fighting chance and make the games generally more fair.

Thanks, and please consider adding this in the future.​

I don't think that would fit the game.

Other servers do something like this. These servers are based of the novel and the movie, and the tributes start off with nothing

if they were to give players a weapon to start off with it would have to be a stone shovel as it only does 1 heart which is possible to defend yourself better than a fist but i really prefer it the way it is as running for corn is a risk you take and sometimes running away can be better

Then dont be one of those people. Run away from corn at start or accept the chance you may get killed right away.

I have high points which makes me and people with high points like me a target.

dont talk in chat and people wont know you have high points
plus its so choatic in the very bigining i doubt they would be able to target you
and if you have high points (you have skill?) why are you having this problem in the first place? I have 5k points and im not getting ganked at corn start..

Sorry but I HATE this idea. This is not a normal "Hunger Games Server" where everyone has like swords, armor etc in the begining. This is Mcsg.

"No skills required" you call it skills to do a command to get full armor and sword?
This is the Survival Games not a "buy a kit- get some Good" server.

Sorry if I sounded mean but I am really against stuff like this.

I don't really get how this would help solve the problem, rather make it worse (even though it isn't really a problem in the first place). You say people getting stone swords at corn are unfair, but being able to buy a stone sword in a kit is so much more unfair. There are only two stone. Swords in the cornucopia at the start, and with 24 players it's unlikely that someone will get one and come immediately for you (unless you're clearly displaying your points in the lobby). Meanwhile, if you had the ability to buy a sword, there could conceivably be a match where all 24 people start with a stone sword, making it tremendously unbalanced, and, ultimately, terrible.

As Max said, this is not a Hunger Games server, this is MCSG.

I didn't say it was a buyable kit.
