Breeze island balance

[BritishShoop]

As far as i know, the only tier 2 chests on Breeze Island are the Corn chests
This seems a bit unbalanced because as soon as someone can hold down the corn, they have effectively won the game (i know sometimes this can go horribly wrong but the majority of the time you're set)
The other players dont really have a chance as the likleyhood is that the Corn holder will be armed well and protected well too
I think that more tier 2 chests should be added to help balance the game out a bit more
Anyone else share these views?

How is this unbalanced? Everyone has a shot at dominating the cornucopia.

The problem with Breeze Island has nothing to do with tier 2 chests. It has everything to do with the fact that ~70% of the land is the center ring, and that ring is tiny. A match there boils down to one of a few typical scenarios.

1) You get a weapon early, possibly out of corn, and some tier 2 (metal) armor. You can now move freely about the inner ring and shank anyone you like at will, so long as you're not stupid about it. If you focus on the right targets, you'll have the run of ALL the loot on the inner ring, and can dismantle teams early on. This typically results in a win, because everyone else has to go swimming way out to get anything without you breathing down their neck.

2) You don't get a weapon early on, but stick to the inner ring. You'll either get killed while trying to get a weapon, because all the chests on the inner ring are right next to each other, with zero room for players to spread out, or you'll try to scrape chests up that haven't been looted yet while avoiding everyone else. Odds are someone will shank you shortly - what are you going to do about it, swim? lol, arrows, not to mention it's not like you'll get to an outer island that still has anything worth looting on it.

3) You skip the inner island entirely, and spend the first two minutes just getting to your first chest. Someone else will likely have the run of the inner ring and be geared when you return, while you'll have maybe half as much armor and a stone sword, plus a bow. Maybe.

TL;DR: Get a weapon early, leave the server, or bend over for someone who got lucky and found one. Welcome to Breeze Island. I hate it here.

It wouldn't be so bad if the player limit was something like 16, though.

Welcome to the club of people who have to put a TL;DR at the end of their posts.

TL;DR: Making a point.

As Zeno said, welcome to the club!

But now, your fellow club member must argue your point:

While I mostly agree with your first two points, the third scenario you mentioned is actually something I always do - go for an outer island with lots of chests, make sure I'm the first one to said chests, and usually I'll have enough to defend myself. While I often see someone with more stuff than me at the middle, (quiet often actually.) I generally can take them down with pure "skill". A single weapon of any kind, and then it's all about making the right choices and smart decisions on who to fight and avoiding others, slowly progressing your way up the tiers until you can take the big guy. Being better than the average person will generally make this a fairly easy process. I win just as often on Breeze as any other map. :/ (Although I have to agree - Breeze is more about luck than any other map.)

Do we get a badge? . . . or cookies? That'd be fine too.

Which is exactly why I despise it. A lower player limit would make it far more enjoyable, IMO.

You forgot a TL;DR:.
