The real challenge is how the mods can say no to this thread respectfully.

I'm not at home right now, so I'll try to remember to post a response here when I get back, but answer me this first. How would solo servers work? How would you structure the separate leaderboards for the two? How would you determine if people are teaming? The reason we haven't done this is because there will be too much confusion and grey area. Teaming is part of the Survival Games, and the Hunger Games itself. To take that away is changing the game too drastically from how they were originally supposed to work. Remember, SG is not about tryharding for stats, it's for having fun. With or without friends.

For your other points, I couldn't agree more. The community is what makes up this network and we should focus on doing what the community wants to see on our network (within reasonable limits of course) and not doing so would be a mistake. Over the last couple of years the community and staff has grown farther apart and I and a few other staff members are working on creating events to better the connection between the staff and our players; starting with the revamping of the Community Games :)

If there are solo servers, then teams would be broken. No one would play on team servers, and would ruin the aspect of the community. Deal with teams. Bad player? not my problem.

Hello,
My name is Anthony other wise know as CreeperFarts. I'd like to start off this forum post by saying this is in no way to be taken negatively or in attempt to "Outlash" on MCSG. It is simply my suggestions and my thoughts on how I think we can make this server a more enjoyable and relaxed environment for all of us. Over the past few months MCSG has not been exactly "up to par" on what us (the players) expect from it. So, I thought it was about time I'd make a post about this so people can hear what not only I had to say about this, but also the players. What I have below is a few suggestions on what I think should be implemented into the server to make it a more enjoyable experience for all of us. Before you go ahead and begin reading I would like to state that if you have any more suggestions please post it as a reply to this thread.

Suggestion #1 - In game map removals/adding new maps:

First is first I'd like to state that MCSG has some fantastic maps. Some which are old, some which are new. However, ever since the raffle voting system came back a lot of the unwanted/disliked maps have been showing up a lot. I feel as if as a community we have a poll as to which maps get removed. Therefore making a better playing experience as to what maps we play. This leads me to adding new maps. New maps get added to MCSG every once in a while, which is a great thing! However not all maps are enjoyable for the community to play. So here is a great suggestion for adding maps. My suggestion is that every month or so MCSG releases a "Map Pack" with about 5 maps or so that the community can play for a given trial period of time. During this trial period of the map pack players can vote on the maps they like the most and which they like the least. After the trial stage of these maps, staff members can tally up the votes and use the maps that were voted the most and put them into the official voting system rotation.

Suggestion #2 - Solo queue vs Team queue games:

We all know teaming has been a big issue for solo players for a very long time. My suggestion is to add different server types that allow teaming and also have those that only allow strictly solo
queuing. To prevent people from teaming in a solo queued game I feel as the consequence of a temp ban would suit that well. That way we can make sure the solo queue is strictly for solo players only. When it comes to the team queue games solo's would be aloud if they wish to join. One thing I do want to touch on is there should be a team capacity for this game mode to make sure it isn't too unfair.

Suggestion #3 - Bleeping out rude/disrespectful chat messages:

We all know how annoying it is when someone in game calls you "Ez" or says "gg10" etc. I feel as if MCSG should block those messages out completely from chat. Sure it may be funny if you use those words and you think it's cool or whatever but at the end of the day it just tears the community apart. In terms it makes it a negative place to be in. I think we can all agree this would be an amazing push if MCSG actually did this. It would not only make for a more positive enjoyable environment, but also make the community a better place to be.

Suggestion #4 - Listen to the community more/Stay in tune with it:

Over the past year or so MCSG has had many problems (Like any server out there). It's understandable. However I feel as if it takes months to fix one tiny thing. For instance, the disguise command. The disguise command was broken for months on end and a lot of people were upset about that. Anyways, I feel if MCSG staff would listen to the community quicker when it came to issues or suggestions and made them happen sooner they wouldn't have many people complaining. That's one of the main reasons why I see people leaving MCSG and switching to different servers.

__________________________________________________________________________

Anyways I think that sums it up for the suggestions I currently have. As I said before if you guys have anymore suggestions you'd like to chip in, feel free to comment them down below. To sum up everything I'd like to thank everyone who has read this for your time. I hope this can have a positive outlook on MCSG for the future.

Best,
Anthony

Agreed!

Answer to suggestion #1
I don't think old maps should be removed, If you don't want to play them you don't vote for them, its not your personal choice, if its getting voted, its still a map that people like.
Answer to suggestion #2
teaming is a part of the game since day one, Anthony. Yes we could get a solo Que, but It would cost more money and one of the gamemodes are going to be unpopular, just deal with it.
Answer to suggestion #3
No, its a block game. Don't take it seriously. If that makes you angry then you are going to find it tough, bad luck.
Answer to suggestion #4
You are asking a lot from MCSG Antony. It takes a long time for devlopers to fix the update.


Funny how you think you can run a server but you can't even stay a owner on a server for 2 weeks

I say no on the team games and solo games. Everyone teames right? You team, we team, I team. It's something that people do that makes them happy. Now, I find it annoying when youtubers team, and them complain about teams. That being a hypocrite that's why I don't complain about team, because I go and team, the feeling is mutual. Also, ChadTheDJ probably doesn't have enough time to open up a server, only for TEAMING just to tend to your needs.
Sorry if I came of offensive, I just stated the truth.

I actually think this is a great thread, the only point I would probably dispute would be point 1, I think Mirkoz put it really well that you don't have to play the map if you don't want to and it does add some variety! Playing the same maps over and over gets dull! I think the map pack idea would be a great addition though! As a map creator I think removing a lot of older maps could be a bad idea, this isn't saying I just don't want my own maps removed, it's to keep variety in the mix, I much more prefer a detailed map to explore rather than a flat empty map full of chests and as a map creator it's much more fun doing a larger exciting map (hence why we did Ozymandias not just another 200radius map full of chests) I feel like a good move could be finding out which maps the community feels like needs improvement, then contacting the map creators and ask for updated versions adding in the aspects the community wanted, for instance we have reupdated Moonbase so it has all the old chests, some better routes and it's brighter for people who didn't like how dark it is!

P.s. Sorry for the essay lol

I actually made a thread about Suggestion 1 on Map Downloads and Discussions, and I agree with you in the aspect of adding maps, not removing. I'm glad that people are understanding this, and I feel as if something should be done about adding maps.
