New gamemode

This might sound like a stupid idea to everyone that play here but hear me out:

I have been a competitive player on Skyblock servers for a long while, with a lot of winnings and I can see a potential for skyblock.net in the competitive scene.
The server has been living for over 7 years and it's getting boring to everyone and I think everyone can agree, all we do is make a shop, get grass, build and build more, get rares, and pretty much AFK. Ranks have barely any use other than flying and enchanting perks unless you want to pay 200$+ for a donor rank for extra perks.

Why not make a new gamemode on skyblock.net that has monthly payouts and resets and unique ideas?
I can confidently say Skyblock.net is most experienced in SkyBlock and encountered a lot of ideas over the course of 7+ years, and I can say that the developers, admins have a lot of ideas that they would like to implement in the server but they are just no-match for the playing style of the modes that Skyblock has to offer.
A competitive gamemode would be like a rebirth to Skyblock.net and then the player-count would skyrocket.

Skyblock Survival, economy, classic won't be effected, but this is just a nice concept and people can finally enjoy a balanced economy that is server-chosen and get competitive to get a payout at the end of every month.

 

Hm, as I mentioned, skyblock survival, economy, classic would not get effected, it is merely for the competitive players that skyblock.net is missing out on, barely any new players stick around, mostly get bored and leave.

If you're here to chill and relax, you can go to survival, economy, classic; but if you're here to get competitive and battle it out, then the new gamemode would be your go.

Communities won't mix, you'll see the hardcore players who can use the game mechanics to their advantage on the new gamemode, and you'd be surprised of how huge the community would get if they implement this gamemode, and the casual players would go to the other modes that are there.

And competitive players are not monsters, they're players just like us, wanting to chill and relax, with an extra will to establish themselves as the best. As of right now, the best are considered with the most money, in the competitive mode, the best would be established from how good your mechanics are, grinders, and more.

 

2 years is a lot of time, people want a change.

The skyblock community is chill, but some people play it for the fun of the competition, getting grass nowadays has no purpose, just to flex, people will start to quit, and soon, all the "OG" will barely come on, we already saw it with drogo, haberson mostly always afk and restocks his shop, other players only talk in chat. I can understand people just want to talk, but what's the difference then between the skyblock server, and a Discord community?

The community won't change, and it will only get better and bigger. Skyblock is long lasting, and it will remain long lasting. The economy might get changed every reset since competitive networks reset the servers every 1-3 months. A competitive mode in my opinion is just a large server where tons of people want to be declared #1 every month and keep competing and let the network be active.

I'm sure you can agree that only 1-10 people ever talk in chat in skyblock, and the newbies barely have a voice compared to the "donors". The competitive server would give a chance to those who are new to make a name for themselves.

 

This wraps it up for me to be honest. I personally enjoy the server for it’s calm gamemodes and the opportunity for open creativity. Making a competition like game mode and it’s not very Norma for a Skyblock server. I wouldn’t think this would boost the server at all.

No support, this is my opinion.

 

support i always wanted a competitive gamemode to play with the vanilla experience that skyblock offers

 

The mode could have little conditions, and the winner could get little rewards on their main island. Like, one month you have to build the best island within 20x20x20 space, or the next you have to make the best island with only 2 stacks of Cobble, etc.

 

That might be a good idea for a weekly/monthly challenge, but my main go was a top island with value, and the best use of the game mechanics and overall creativity.

It's a good idea! I love it too. +1

 

Prison is a seperate gamemode and skywars is a minigame, a competitive skyblock would be normal islands as we know them with teams and the best are the ones who use the game mechanics to their advantage to make the most money, unlike survival right now where the rich are the donors and the well-known, the new gamemode would be non-p2w as it should have equal chances for everyone who joins even if they're a newbie, and the best are the most experienced in minecraft and it's mechanics, farm making, etc.

 

Judging from their tweets about new things coming soon to skyblock I really hope we get something new like a new gamemode or events happening once a week/month etc

 

That is not what I meant by the competitive gamemode, it would be a normal skyblock, building an good island might be a special event, but the aim of the mode is to use what the server has to offer, the materials, economy, and the game mechanics (farms etc.) to your advantage to become the best island on the server and the top #1 island in value (most spawners placed, blocks, etc.) can win a cash prize (might it be buycraft or Paypal) such as #1 - 100$ PayPal, #2 50$ PayPal & 25$ Buycraft, #3 25$ Buycraft (just an example for clarification)

And I did not mean that the server is p2w as is, I meant that whatever the case is, the competitive scene (gamemode) should never be p2w for equal chances.

 

Speedruns for completing all classic skyblock challenges

They are listed on the original release of the map.

 

similar to net? it's just a new gamemode, not a new server? and yeah for /is top you can get rewards but they're not only dependant on how big the island is, but how costly the island is, and the economy shouldn't be a block like grass, but money like economy, and spawners, value blocks (ore blocks for example) should increase the value.
