Imo, that's just removing the uniqueness of the gamemode. This is now just build battle with extra steps. I rather disagree with some of these changes.

Absolute garbage update

Liked the fact you have to be creative with what you got, this way the mall shopping works, is actually the same as searching blocks in a creative menu imo. Then it’s just build battle and takes the name buy and build away, what made this game unique

hope this eventually gets changed in a future update :/

queen bane

Because of this update. This is no longer buy n build this is more like just build battle

Agreed

L update

#

I still think big changes need to happen but I would need a bit more time to tell you exactly.

#

L update

late plume
#

Also the whole point of the mall closing is so you could... well get all the blocks you needed given the constraints of time, that was also a nice challenge in itself
It kind of used to simulate those last minute shopping rushes

cyan moth
#

Yeah

remote totem
#

Wait

#

Lowkey enable pvp in the mall

lose your blocks if you get hit hahahah

whats the point of a shop if you have infinite currency

Unlimited currency ruins the fun honestly

BAD UPDATE (no offence)

#

revert

Bad

#

Even the amount of rounds bruh... like- whats wrong with 3, I think 3 was perfect

#

This completely ruined the point of the game, adding infinite currency just ruins the game, you're supposed to be smart about what to buy, and flying in the mall just ruins it even more.

I’d prefer no flying in the mall to be honest 😅

#

i'd rather have the old one, the flying in the mall, infinite currency and 2 rounds just ruin it in my inpinion

#

i agree, i don't think anything other than maybe increased chance of the adjective (i think 50% is more?) is an improvement, old was so much better

id been playing this instead of just build on hive bc i found it more fun, but now ill just go back to hive ig

#

give us more time to build and get rid of inf currency and it would be fire

weary basalt
#

Infinite currency is not good

kind ridge
#

These changes remove all the uniqueness. Especially less rounds and unlimited currency. ATP it’d be better as normal build battle

unreal tartan
#

yes

#

Personally I prefer the v1 of Buy and Build. All I would ask for is that you change it to two coins per vote instead of one.

Add to java and remove from bedrock

It's a nice update

#

Limited currency wasn't good

queen bane
wanton brook
dark field
#

Unlimited currency makes it way too easy

#

At this point just cut the mall and make it a creative menu

I liked it alot better before this update. Making it so you can fly in the mall makes speed pads and jump pads useless, and i liked having the limited coins because you had to put much more thought into buying your blocks. Also Dont like that the mall is always open. But some things that is good with this update is; the rounds, you can play much more games in little time, and the bonus themes!

#

it was almost perfect before, why change it.

what i liked before:

  1. buying blocks matters, it being limited pushes creativity (having inifnite currency just makes me stay more on the mall and less on building since i have too many blocks id like to get. for short "Analysis Paralysis" "choice overload")
  2. knowing the mall better rewards you (encourages playing more to memorize where blocks are)
  3. flying also removes the fun out of point #2 (being able to know which path is the shortest to get to the block you want is satisfying)
  4. 3 rounds was perfect!
  5. the limitations was a great way to differentiate who has more skill and makes you think more (creatively and strategically)

what would i suggest instead:

  1. just add more types to build, more themes
  2. a very little chance for a theme to occur on round 2 (i sometimes find it hard to incorporate a theme in round 3 cuz i didnt fully finish my build in the previous rounds due to how big it was. doing this can result into finished build which also incorporated the theme well)

Infinite currency garbage

#

the infinite currency destroys the strategy of the game, like why would i play this now when hive has a much better designed build game

#

theyre the exact same game but cubecraft has worse QOL

wanton brook
#

The only difference is voting system

#

Not that I like hives voting system

#

Cuz some cowardly prideless ppl spam meh rate

#

But if there is inf currency

#

We don't have to struggle to buy items when we have to build

#

Then we can't even remove the buying system

#

Cuz the game's name is buy and build

#

They have to change it if they accept our req

#

And I don't think they will

cyan moth
#

when will they roll back the old update?

boreal nova
#

idk

weary basalt
echo patrol
#

this update is genuine pure trash

#

it was beyond perfect the first time round

#

the only thing i think is GOOD about this is flight

#

and the bonus rounds

#

but other than that this is just a bad update

#

how is it build and buy if you have unlimited money and only have 2 rounds to play

#

im begging from the bottom of my heart

#

plesse revert every change except for flight

#

and maybe increase the STARTING round currency to 6

#

make bonus rounds more common in the third round too^

#

the only feedback i have

#

FORGOT TO ADD. PLEASE CHANGE THE VOTING SYSTEM

#

i dont want my only two options to vote for being a single dirt block and genuine nsfw thumb

#

andddd add water and lava as seperate blocks (i dont want to break seagrass for water and use orange glass and magma as lava)

#

NOW i actually done

tender elk
#

Cubecraft is going down if they keep letting people down with trash gameplay.

echo patrol
#

build and buy shouldntve been updated at ALL

#

atleastnnot without running polls on the features

#

this just sucks ass

wanton brook
#

Yeah right

#

I just want the voting system changed though

#

the whole game is weird

Here is my summary of the new update and things I think could still be changed.
You can't change the floor, which means having at least 1 round to fill it in is reasonable. Bringing back 3 rounds was a necessity to have completed builds if there is not a way to change the floor.

There is some extreme issues with placement making building much slower and harder to achieve, once again with the floor normal filling is really hard. It's like you have to place blocks the way you do in Java or they will just will not register. You get stuck in blocks constantly too.

Blocks disappear randomly each round and my report was closed for it so it's still an active bug that wipes away a good 10 seconds of my time each round re-filling them in. It also is annoying because in the final round where the game ends there are some holes you just can't fix because it's broken on the podium.
I really want to enjoy this game but don't like my builds being ruined by holes I didn't create and getting stuck in blocks every 10 seconds. The flying was a good update and so was the unlimited money, but other than that not much has changed game-play wise for me.

# late plume maybe the java block placement had to do with the fact CubeCraft Bedrock is actu...

Well if this is the case, you should pick one or the other. Either have complete Java placement or complete Bedrock placement.. It's current weird inbetween is causing a lot of issues with speedbuilding. Even trying to use complete java placement makes me glitch inside of blocks and slows me down.. and blocks end up disappearing no matter what playstyle you do, while building and after voting..

I feel like this is the case because of some anti-cheat that tries to make sure you aren't hacking or something, because I don't know why blocks disappear otherwise. I'm on controller, so if it thinks I'm cheating and removes blocks, OR can't register them fast enough, than a kbm player is going to have a rough time.

I don't know if this is impossible to do or how you can fix it, but I'm just here to say what you are trying to go for with the Java thing is very buggy on bedrock and breaks consistently. I'd say have Java placement on Java and Bedrock placement on Bedrock but once again, I'm not the one who codes these things, I have no idea how hard it is or if you could even do it.
