Okay so GH has been in beta 12 more days than it was advertised to be. All of the spectacular things to do have already been found/done. Now you just have 'beta testers' going around and marking where everything is so when the game mode releases, they'll be able to take everything. On top of that, GH has a few flaws that makes it not as hard as it should be. In fact, GH is very easy after 15 minutes when you learn mechanics. The flaws are pretty easy to spot so I won't bother explaining what they are. Because GH has taken so long to release, even though beta testers seemed to have stopped bothering a long time ago, I suggest a new map for the release of GH. But not just any new map, a custom map. Something to balance the current flaws and make GH hard. I regret ever previously suggesting anything, as I didn't think it would turn out to be this. But I'll throw one last bone with some ideas: Limited valuable resources like diamonds, lava, and end portals. Tweak minion mobs so they hit harder (zombie, skele, blaze, etc). Give explosive minions a wider AoE range (creeper boom, ghast charge, wither bombs, dragon swipe). Equip skeletons with special arrows that can't be dropped. Make withers and dragons be able to destroy obsidian in X amount of hits, as well as hit harder vs armored players. Allow charged creepers to spawn in the world naturally. Set GH to hard mode, if not already on. Make mob bosses that can appear in the world randomly but not able to despawn (zombie, skele, etc). If GH were to be released at this moment, I can't say how great a 'hard core' map will be if it's already 75% discovered before released. The people who should be beta testing and reporting things or suggesting tweaks, as this is doing, are just venturing out and marking every location because they know it'll be the same map. And because it's been left in beta for so long, there's been a lot of mixed feelings among players of whether they want the same map or not. I'd be willing to wait for GH for tweaks but I'd personally be disappointed if the same map is used. How does everyone else feel?
I agree. I didn't really think of that, which now that you mention it is true. I think they should make a new map, but I don't know about like, custom. Idk, I guess a new map would make it easier with all the diamonds and such. Still don't know though.
What do you mean by custom mobs and items? I really hope you're not suggesting another OP survival (items).
Right now Golden Hearts is a modified survival. Are you asking for a modded survival, KillaD1? That's what it looks like to me. (Costum items/mobs.) Just my observation.
No no no no. Custom mobs mean harder, difficult mobs. Custom items, well I don't know. Like a car? That was supposed to be added in plots. But it would be expensive like crap. Fuel is coal or charcoal. Coal or charcoal give you 15 blocks per item.
Personally, I don't think GH is the best place for that. (Hard mode, etc) Don't take me wrong, I'm not opposed to having it added, just it needs to be added on the right server. Maybe we can get it added to Survival because it's already OP or Plots finally. Lol.
