Hello there, good morning or good afternoon or good night. I've made a thread in the past about teaming, talking about the anti-competitiveness of it, people enjoy it and people don't enjoy it, I personally don't but right now this doesn't matter. I'm not writing this thread as a salty try-hard, I have just a concern. c:

The concern for this server is that Hive are making SG: SOLO. Where players who wish to play solo can enjoy the game. Lots of people are coming back to Survival Games because of this as well, and they will be able to enjoy it again. Now this is going to cause a lot of people to move on from MCSG and go to Hive as they will be able to play properly again. The advantages of having an SG: SOLO on these servers are:

Old-School players would come back, many people who always play solo can have more fun on the servers again, better content from MCSG YouTubers would be released and therefore the server would get more publicity, YouTubers will do more collabs.

The disadvantages are:

The people who like to team may not enjoy the game as they will struggle to win against other teams and may not feel motivated to play, the SG: TEAM servers may not have many people in them and will leave many lobbys empty, this may lead to 6 player games and boosting.

As many of you know Hive is the most competitive opponent against MCSG, and a server like MCSG, if not making the right decisions could simply fade away. All of the community wouldn't want that to happen, so I think something has to be done about it. Although, right now I'm aware of the developers working on a new NCP for the servers, if this works more accurate than NCPs like anticheat that would benefit the servers greatly. Although I think something has to be done to separate teamers and solo players, whether or not there would be separate leaderboards or stats that would be up to the Devs if it actually happened.

This is of course just a suggestion but I think a lot of people could back me up with this. Thank you for reading, have a nice day. :D

I don't even have the effort to write responses to these threads anymore. Just look through the literally tens to hundreds of threads suggesting this very thing and you'll see that a) we're working on a way to incorporate a solo survival games (sourced to Chad himself) and b) we understand that a lot of people have severe complaints against teaming (which I still fail to understand why, after 2.5 years of playing this, teaming is just a thing, complaining about it only makes it worse for yourself and not to mention the others who have to hear this insistent complaining)

Either way, not going to write a long thing.

yes i agree much and bring back 1.7 or else
Or else what? Stop asking for 1.7 and use that time to get used to 1.8.
1.7 is never coming back. Other servers soon have to update to 1.8 too or they will be outdated.
In my opinion 1.8 is way better. I am never going to switch to 1.7 ever again. You just have to get used to it.

Alright, I never heard of any mods saying solo SG is coming out, but you don't understand why complaints about teamers is a problem? It might get the message into their heads that they're ruining the servers for everyone else. That's why us legit players complain.

I honestly don't. I play MCSG just as much as everyone else does, in fact I've probably been playing longer than most. Dying to teams is just part of the game, and I've never seen it as that much of a problem in which we should create a whole new gamemode just so people can play "legit" or whatever it's being called. If somebody can't take down a small team, that's their own skill, not MCSG's fault. As for large teams, they're so uncommon that it doesn't effect anyone's gameplay all that much.

lol i'm one of the main supporters to these solo servers. Made multiple posts and threads about them. One day hopefully. It's been rumored that they are working on them, but that rumor has been floating around for quite some time.

Some people just don't like to unfairly fight people. Looking even back to the actually hunger games movie and books.. who were the most hated and unfair people in the game? The people from districts 1 and 2 who were in big teams going around killing people. I'm not saying teams shouldn't be part of SG. I'm just saying that for some people, we don't like unfairly fighting. We want fair fights, but that is impossible to do when there are multiple teams of large numbers in every game.

Solo servers just gives everyone the chance to play a game that they want to. If you enjoy teaming and stuff, just play the normal SG and there is no harm done. If you despise teaming or just don't have anyone to play with at the moment, you can just go play on the solo servers. Everyone wins if the servers are added.

You may be ok with fighting countless teams every game, but some of us would rather fight fair fights throughout. The number one thing i see raged about on these servers is teamers and hackers.

Lock this thread please. :3. My question has been answered and I'm getting salty. xD
