EggWars Perk Update - vibe check

[cold linden]

Have the tweaks made EggWars more fun?

What would you have liked to see in this update or the next EggWars update?

Anything else

[delicate sparrow]

Yet to play with the new ones but

The old ones where kinda good added smth new to the game and giving a useable use to emralds

[dusty otter]

@cold linden weird update, but I can vibe with it IF you remove the endermites, or atleast significantly reduce them or their damage

[delicate sparrow]

I would surely want diamond pickaxe with Golda to return
Leather armour will be goated aswelo

[sterile warren]

The update hasn’t changed my gameplay experience unless if perks get involved in my games. Some of those perks aren’t balanced (especially Mite Master perk, it can be balanced by making the perk chance based)

I was hoping that both leather armor and chain armor to return to OP mode since the armor balancing in the game isn’t good. Low tier diamond pickaxe should also cost gold. Unfortunately both of those changes never made it to the update, if those changes made it to the update, it would have made the game more fun in my opinion

[delicate sparrow]

I still don't understand emrald core perk

Ima have to read the forums again

[sterile warren]

Basically what it does is it makes your egg an emerald generator. It’ll spawn emeralds every few seconds (idk the exact timing) unless your egg gets destroyed

[delicate sparrow]

Like on top of the egg
Basically a emrald generator then

[sterile warren]

Around it

Not on it

[delicate sparrow]

O

I thought of it like increasing chance of emrald spawns or smth

[sterile warren]

I had a game where the free perk was emerald core

[delicate sparrow]

Crazy

Honestly

[sterile warren]

Yup

And another game where mite master was the free perk

Which is why I talked about them above

[delicate sparrow]

I had one with creeper blood as free

[sterile warren]

Can’t remember what was the free perk in my first game of the update

[delicate sparrow]

The perk voting thing is a good mechanic on paper but some of the perks aren't meant to be there from start of the game

[sterile warren]

Agreed

[delicate sparrow]

For me it was no pick downgrade

Which seemed normal ngl

[sterile warren]

I remembered now

Since I recorded the game

It was overclock mid gens

I didn’t realize it because I didn’t look at chat

It made Middle OP and should that happen on a map like bridges, that match is going to be annoying to win if someone gets to mid and takes advantage of its 30 seconds

[delicate sparrow]

Is it permanent

I don't think so

[warped harness]

It's 30s

[sterile warren]

What lasts 30 seconds

Overclock mid gens?

[warped harness]

Overclocked mid gens

[sterile warren]

Oh ok

Do you know the time range of emeralds spawning at base with emerald core perk?

[warped harness]

It is synced with the emeralds on the middle if I remember correctly. Either 1:1 or 2:1

[sterile warren]

All right

[dawn knoll]

Same

[rigid wave]

How did you figure that out so quickly? 😂

Yeh, if you have emerald yolk, then whenever an em spawns at mid, one spawns near your egg too. They both use the same timer, keeps it fair between all teams with emerald yolk.

[warped harness]

I was there when you made it 😛

I just remember you explaining it works like that :v

[rigid wave]

Oh. Yeh.
That'll do it.

"And then she realised; she was the idiot."

[solar star]

Maps where the teams egg is within an enclosed space like a cave, standard clay fortresses are countered by tnt, elytras, and super pickaxes, we need maps where defense is strategically more practical.

[solar star]

#🥚︱eggwars message

[solar star]

I firmly believe that with more players matched together on bigger maps such as the times before season 2, these tweaks and items will be made even more fun.

[solar star]

Oh so i can't just steal everyones emeralds anymore.

[rigid wave]

How you mean?
Sniping them before someone picks them up? 🤣
You can still do that, but if a team has Emerald Yolk, then they also get emeralds near their egg too.

[solar star]

Go into enemy islands with tokens and yoink emeralds from their generators.

[rigid wave]

Oh upgrade enemy gens?! Haha I never thought of that. 🤣
Yeh you can still do that, unless their gens are biometric. Then I think you can't upgrade them.

[sterile warren]

So biometric gens is the same idea as private shop?

Where you cannot use the enemy team’s generator if they have the perk?

Is it a permanent effect or is it time limited

[warped harness]

3m

It shows up above the gen as well 🫤

[rigid wave]

Yiss, same concept just separate for shop and gens. And yeh both 3 minutes.

[left acorn]

The endermites are so broken

But its fun to abuse 💯

[oak mica]

I didn't check it out all yet but seems fine and balanced tbf

[solar star]

I only spawn endermites after being attacked every 10-20 seconds, plus tnt is an easy counter.

Arguably i don't spawn enough endermites upon being attacked.

[left acorn]

Really huh

It seems like every few hits almost

[rigid wave]

They have a 2 second cool down on spawning. So if you get hit, another won't spawn until you get hit after 2 seconds.

[edgy mesa]

I like this update. After playing it a few times, I can say that everything is really nice and fun, but there's one thing I'm unsure about. Idk if it's a bug or if it's intended, but when I was playing egg solos, emeralds started spawning at my island, and I got around 20 emeralds before I left my island. This kind of makes rushing unnecceary now. If it's intentional then I would change it to how it was before

If it's a bug I'll report it later

[sterile warren]

You most likely got Emerald Yolk perk at the start of the game, if you voted for free perk

[edgy mesa]

Wait, free perk gives that?

[sterile warren]

Yes

[edgy mesa]

Oh, interesting

[sterile warren]

It happened to me before

[edgy mesa]

I got so confused... "Why are there emeralds spawning everywhere??"

Was what I thought

[sterile warren]

Basically how it works is as long as your egg is still alive, emeralds will spawn in your base around your egg the moment an emerald spawns at mid

In the case of it being a free perk, that applies to every single base with an egg

[edgy mesa]

Oh interesting

I think I got a new strategy in the cube hq tournament

[sterile warren]

It's RNG based

Since if the perk isn't in the perk shop, you may need to reroll

[edgy mesa]

What else can happen when I vote for free perks

[sterile warren]

From my experience, I got the following perks:

• Overclock Mid Gens (first 30 secs of the game)
• Emerald Yolk
• Mite Master

Never played free perks after getting mite master

[edgy mesa]

Ohk

[edgy mesa]

Is mite master the one that spawn endermites all the time?

[sterile warren]

Yes

It needs a nerf

[edgy mesa]

ok

I see

[warped harness]

Mite master was removed from the start pool

[sterile warren]

Nice!

[delicate sparrow]

I got the private shop and creeper blood insaurence and no pickaxe downgrade

And yeah discounted discount

Btw is builder kit changed back to andesite or something

[sterile warren]

Builder kit is andesite in Normal only, stone in other modes

[delicate sparrow]

O

[undone nova]

whats the difference

[sterile warren]

Nothing, they both have the same hardness level (same mining speed). The only difference is the appearance

[undone nova]

🤔

[sterile warren]

I just find it strange that they changed the block

But not keep it in parity with all game modes

[solar star]

Add an achievement for spawning 200 or more eggmites in a single game through the mite master perk or eggmite balls called "mitey"

[agile lion]

I think the old update that we used to get 31 iron for 63 blocks and 4 iron for Armor and wooden sword and stone pix and the old knockback is better for combos now the knockback sucks and you cant do the combos as it was i think it would be better to get the old shop and old knockback

[solar star]

Bowspam used to be the best strategy for a 1v4, the arrows hardly hit as much anymore and their punch has been reduced, made even more impractical by elytras, leap feathers, and blastballs.

Now the best strategy for a 1v4 is to grind your discounts to the max by stealing emeralds from generators and running around middle.

By the time you reach max discounts most of the match has died since everyone wants to rush each other and win rather than enjoy the match, and there's no maps where the egg is enclosed within the island.

[brisk echo]

Add leather armours in Overpowered gamemode.

[sterile warren]

Agreed

[brisk echo]

Ty

[sterile warren]

np

[limpid gyro]

I would Be sooooooo Happy if u Add Pizza Map back to Java

Like Thats The Map i rly love and want back

[gray tartan]

yeah bring back pizza D:

[delicate sparrow]

Or say just replace it with s1

[solar star]

I can agree with the S1 lobby returning, it was fun to autoclick noteblocks and inspire other people to do the same before the match.
