Eggwars used to be one of my main minigames i enjoyed to avoid playing Hypixel with big 4 team maps with 24 or more players and items which allowed skilled players to single handedly clutch matches against entire teams given enough time. I would play lone wolf most of the time because of incompetent players and would acquire a punch bow as fast as possible, i enjoyed trolling players by teasing them and annoying them with the punch bow and spawn killing them until they quit. Today after the gamemode was downgraded in recent updates the maps are much smaller and encourage certain playstyles more than those i had become familiar with, forcing me to adapt to a new GUI, generator behaviors, and the general premise that matches were made to be much shorter.

Before the latest eggwars update i was still able to acquire a punch bow and troll to a limited extent, now that it's been removed from the game outright i'm coerced into sword pvp with how impractical unenchanted crossbows and bows are. These updates which have not only removed other enjoyable minigames but generally ruined Eggwars have deterred me away from Cubecraft as one of the last enjoyable alternatives to Hypixel. I'm upset how Cubecraft seems to have prioritized combat and short minigames over original minigames that provide a quality experience, i'm now left with only 1 small minigame server to enjoy while i wait in anticipation of Mineplex's complete revival.

I miss the days of single-handling teams of 6 in eggwars with blocks and bowspam among other items, i want to relive those experiences again.

My favorite map of Eggwars used to be Aztec, a 24 player 4 team map with 5 big islands in the shape of a cross {+}, it had plenty of space for bridges and had plenty of generators for everyone to compete for. My new favorite in these recent updates is Palace for how many generators it has, it gives me the best opportunity to farm emeralds to acquire the punch enchantment.
