[wooden mauve]

@upper kite yes, on our bedrock network. It is playable with our beta games subscription

[upper kite]

Oh ok

Wait are you a mod

[mystic frost]

Will this come to Java later?

[subtle lake]

Aw, I thought it was like a "Apply to get access to the closed beta feature" like that..

[glad vigil]

Lovely game

[pliant yoke]

interesting

[upper kite]

@wooden mauve when is permanent beta games subscription coming out?

[final reef]

Yay new game

[old socket]

hi

[final reef]

Let I be a leaderboard player of this game

[dull gorge]

Never

Cube likes money remember

[upper kite]

Oh yea

[old socket]

🤑

[final reef]

Lol

[wooden mauve]

Its nothing I could reveal even if i where to know

[upper kite]

Sad

[dull gorge]

To put it simply

[upper kite]

Is there any other upcoming game modes

[meager island]

Do leaderboards already update while its in closed beta?

Thatd be kinda unfair

[old socket]

u can check all upcoming stuff here: https://cubecraft.notion.site/e86c96a3ee78465d8e5c24c22489c094

[wooden mauve]

Not something I could reveal if I where to know either. Only available info in the site as mappoe sent

[upper kite]

Oh ok

I’m just curious

[wooden mauve]

nw, please lets take this conversation elsewhere though as its a channel specifically for game feedback :)

[upper kite]

Like we’re

[formal tusk]

How to play?

Is it like buildmart?

[dense palm]

oh right i need rank 💀

[paper venture]

Are you still staff on Ng

[little adder]

Long gone

[warm fulcrum]

Wait is this just big sales at build mart

[paper venture]

😢

[little adder]

But it's been so long, at least two years

[dense palm]

maybe they shouldn't make it pay to play

eh yeah the lobby is dead

[west beacon]

🔥🔥

[dense palm]

does this gamemode go after 5 days or what

it is fun if everygame is not with mods that just sweat the game :)

[lucid hare]

We didn't sweat 😅 we are just playing like everyone else

[dense palm]

all the games i queue i queue u guys 💀

[lucid hare]

You know it's only open to a limited number of people right D:

[compact silo]

the game is good
maybe a minigame to do if u finished building for more coins
maybe something showing where each of the blocks are
the build themes are fine

[timber osprey]

The game is pretty good!, my suggestions are:

• Add a bit more time to each round, maybe 1 minute?
• Be able to vote for the themes

[winter burrow]

this game is so good

[paper venture]

Dang

[formal tusk]

how do I play

I have a rank

oh subscription

#poor

[swift root]

Having a monthly subscription isn't that bad but making people pay money every month just to play a new game mode is redundant, like it's not that bad but the fact that all of you mods are advertising it so much just for a select few people to play it is where it gets messed up because everyone is hyped now and most people don't know that they have to pay for it

[swift root]

Also cc has been losing players in other game modes like eggwars and gaining tons in beta games, if you made the game free to play but still got special voting options like the other game modes for people who have beta rank than the player count would increase, you would still make more money and everyone will be happy

[still totem]

.

[ripe bronze]

How do I buy it ?

[orchid spoke]

Good valentines update 👍

[ripe bronze]

how do I buy the N build thing ?

[orchid spoke]

You have to buy the beta games rank i think

[ripe bronze]

oh

well thank you

[bitter eagle]

only without rank

[bitter eagle]

WHY EVERYONE CAN'T JOIN BUY "N" BETA?

[swift root]

It costs money (the finished version will at least)

Also I think that might be private

[mellow kayak]

https://youtu.be/wtABk_SSVBQ

I just played it for the first time and here are my thoughts

[swift root]

W vid

[stuck ridge]

That new mode is bad

It’s copied

[night crane]

Few points of critique:
--gravity being enabled, this makes building with concrete powder a pain in the rear if your build is hollow
--plants not being able to be placed on anything other than the blocks theyre supposed to grow on (such as netherwart on soulsand or crimson roots on crimson nylium)
--the gamemode not being able to start (the timer at least) without 8 players, for a closed beta theres not enough people in and even when i saw 5-6 people in when i joined it put me into a different lobby by myself

[swift root]

Id say more inspired but yeah having to pay money for an unoriginal gamemode is crazy

[stuck ridge]

Even report thing is on same place on hotbar what on hive

[swift root]

Cubecraft in general or just the new gm?

[stuck ridge]

New gm

[night crane]

few more things:
--as seen in the video posted by Avo, at 7:25, a build shows up for voting twice, is this mechanic intended? does that mean a build can technically get double points?
-the floor can be destroyed, and having to manually destroy and replace the entire thing is absurd

[swift root]

Should have a gravity switch, otherwise it would be annoying if you didn't want it to fall

[stuck ridge]

And still hive has better just build

[swift root]

Ik bro cc really digging their servers grave with this one

[stuck ridge]

Even immersion from that game is low

[stuck ridge]

I doubt this mode will be famous like pillars or bedwars

[swift root]

Well obviously

You have to have rank

[stuck ridge]

They should fix games or add new things to existing games and not do something they don't know at all or copy ideas from better ones like The Hive

[timber osprey]

It's early access only, it will be released to the public in 5 days.

[swift root]

Yeah but don't you have to have beta rank when it comes out?

[timber osprey]

Nope

[swift root]

Oh

I was confused because of all the stuff about not having access

My b

[stuck ridge]

It gonna be released with new lobby or just in beta games lobby ?

[timber osprey]

Build Battle existed in CubeCraft java almost a decade ago as well 🙂

[timber osprey]

It will remain in the Beta Lobby for now

[stuck ridge]

What about bedwars ?

Or pillars

Those gamemodes exist for long time

[swift root]

Yeah I'm surprised they still stayed as beta

After all they are the most popular gamemodes

[night crane]

its to get money from beta sub bcs its a monthly payment

lets not kid ourselves.

[stuck ridge]

And bedwars killed eggwars, at least in 1/2

[swift root]

Yeah bro

Egg is literally dead

Like 1/4 pc

[stuck ridge]

It's a problem when u have 2 main games

[stuck ridge]

vip 30 is also worthless. As other servers have better bonuses or prices for same amount and u will get even more

[final reef]

Do it needs money to play it??

[stuck ridge]

Yep

[final reef]

How much

[stuck ridge]

I can say that having level 15 in just build, this mode on cc is very weak so don't expect much

[stuck ridge]

660 minecoins

[final reef]

Bruh I am poor

[final reef]

I have only 1 request

Add Avengers theme please and make it free to play for everyone

[stuck ridge]

Still not worth

So head up

[final reef]

Ye they need to add bedwar 1v1 or solo

It will be some worth it

[stuck ridge]

They should fix and upgrade existing games

Then some new

Like Skyblock and Egg

[final reef]

Yes camezonda was gifted me battle arena rank and it removed idk why but I need it back

[stuck ridge]

Maybe u was not polite to Cam

XD

[storm roost]

1. Feels like a good game to try out, lets see how it turns out after testing it few times
2. something related to the "shop" or currency/buying buffs, or maybe blocks related stuff that makes it hard to build or fun to build, or smt like player effects (good or bad) like blindness or smt
3. make it like creative inventory with different categories and different types of custom methods of placing blocks (wands/auto build stuff to make it easier to build a floor or a pillar)
4. i would say themes should be pixel art, structures, minecraft, cubecraft, objects, animals etc related to something easy and different to build rather than the regular build battle themes

[orchid spoke]

True

I agree

[dusky flower]

how do u get closed beta features

[wind lotus]

by buying beta games subscription

[dusky flower]

aww

[bitter eagle]

Added n build leaderboard?

[old socket]

I think there is/will be one, when you check your stats it allows you to open the leaderboard. Idk if its functional as of now

[compact silo]

the game should give 100 xp for a win

also

do the stats now count for the lb

because i have a win

or will it be reset

[inner grove]

Should open it for public, or getting few feedback

[night crane]

Yeah, stuff like an item that lets you do a fill type command

[night crane]

4th point as well is giga true, with the limited block palette and only being able to grab 4 blocks at a time max, the themes shouldn’t be anything crazy

[night crane]

Or the stick that I forget the name of that lets you do stuff like edit stairs, I know it’s only in Java I think? But being able to rotate stairs and slabs and other such things would be so good

[swift root]

Yeah there may be a lot of issues that other people who don't have access will find

And it can mess up the whole gm

[lucid hare]

It will be public to everyone in just a few days

[swift root]

I know

I'm just saying

Don't wanna release a half-baked gm

[swift root]

Having player effects would be really cool like maybe every few rounds you could get a speed buff or slowness, just to add variety

[storm roost]

wont help if you are flying to build

visual stuff is better for voting power to buff or debuff everyone/game

[storm roost]

worldedit

[swift root]

True I just didn't want to copy your suggestion word for word

[storm roost]

debug stick
its not in bedrock cuz motang sks

[storm roost]

one thing they should do is like keeping shop & build area a bit far
Similar to how Minecraft Champions had a similar concept with Build Battle with blocks which u had to mine block which u wanted to build with

its up to dev/team on how they want the new game to be i guess

[night crane]

Yes debug stick

[bitter eagle]

n build have no leaderboard?

[west beacon]

there's like 7 people playing it ofc there are no leaderboards 😭😭

[vital bobcat]

Looks great cc devs 👍

[compact silo]

ik ive posted a lot in here but about 3/4 of the builds are off topic when its just ranked in so i cant imagine what it will be like with nons

[inner grove]

The game is too fast. Player need to remember shop layout to save their time to buy block also building
Floor is breakable and player cant restore it.
Block have gravity is really annoying if player need to for some build
Plants not being able to be placed tk anything except where they are suppose to grow (ex: seagrass grow on dirt with water above)
With round 3 twist, sometime it may ruin good build
2.
Add theme voting, extended time
About twist, i can suggest add some wand which can help you with building like worldedit
3. Thing underground like moss, azlea? (Idk cuz i cant discover all in such a short time)
4. Theme can be art, structure, biome, minecraft or something easy to build

[bitter eagle]

This is who have beta rank?

[orchid spoke]

I am not purchasing Beta subscription for this

[opaque fox]

this game looks cool, but wheres Bedwars solo?

[crude crest]

Buy 'N' Build - Closed Beta/Early Access Feedback

[dense palm]

this game have so many player playing it

[compact silo]

there were 12 of us like 20 mins ago

[dense palm]

were u guys in party

[dense palm]

what am i voting for

[compact silo]

no

there were 3 of the toastedby ppl some staff and randoms

[wind lotus]

Lol

[dense palm]

maybe u need to double lock the map a bit more

[old socket]

colourfloor simga

[crude crest]

We'll just make it so if you're outside of your zone, you get teleported back in

[crude crest]

Erm, were you in your plot building before this

[dense palm]

yes

i just glitch my way

at least i cant place block

in his plot

wait no

[crude crest]

different issue

[dense palm]

yeah no i was in my plot

or maybe specator mode when i get invite to party

i dont remember

[crude crest]

You were invited mid game?

[dense palm]

i think so

[crude crest]

Yeah got it, I'll make note of it

[dense palm]

@crude crest

[crude crest]

oh yeah, i know the issue, we're just going to make it so if you're spectating, you're not giving the voting items, you'll still be spectating the mall though. Spectating in buy n build will be a little boring lol, but i guess you're just meant to be waiting for your friends to finish for you to play the next round

also for timings, we're keeping the rounds to 180 seconds (3 minutes) each but going to extend the buying time from 1 minute to 1:30 minutes, so for half of each round, the mall will be open now.

[old socket]

what song

[dense palm]

also can you guys make it like minerware

so people tie

instead of getting different placement for same points

also the report thingy shouldn't disappear once you have voted

cause you legit cant report

once u voted

[bitter eagle]

0 wins being 1st
