Eyyyyy first!

 

Who the hell suggested this, I hate the idea -.-

 

That afk party looks lit.

 

Yay!

 

wow what did i miss yesterday

i missed all of the community events

*facedesk*

what goes on when im not there

 

WHO

 

Thank You For The Shoutout!

 

Boomo games last way too long sometimes.

 

Sure, I agree with that sometimes. But iron blocks falling? Not only have to watch for tnt and other players but now the sky to see if iron is falling..?

 

they take to long to start too...

 

That's how it was before, it made it more risky and it was so much more fun imo.

 

Only quoting your post to make my comment relevant. Games where you must spectate once you have lost are a turn off to most if not all players. That is why infected is such a loved game mode. They are trying to reduce the amount of spectator time from the game and get the games moving faster.

 

It was thought out so that iron blocks would fall at the end of games, not to serve as another objective to the game. Once there's bearly anyone left and rounds get to the point of having no end, the iron blocks stop that from happening, or atleast try to decrease the chances of it. In terms of game play, it makes the game more thrilling and fun for people. Suggesting this meant to make the game more intriguing imo

 

People still do that? what?

 

Awesome

 

Mr. Moderator, the command is /t unclaim, and assistants dont have perms to do that -.-

 

Demote for ignorance
