A Second Battleground?
By: Bla Date: March 29, 2014, 5:08 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Yqt and Mudkipz think the fights in the current Battleground are
too regulated. Are you interested in us making a second
battleground zone (with another name) that has fewer rules and
possibly other features?
If so, we can make one. However, I find the current Battleground
to be enough of a burden to keep updated with the maps and
fights, so I don't really want to manage a second one, as in
making maps and videos for it. Since Yqt and Mudkipz are more
interested in it than me, it'd be ideal if either of you would
manage that with upholding rules, making maps, videos or
whatever you want for it.
Vote yes if you are interested.

I'd have plenty of time to manage the battleground - and I
actually would love to. One thing I think we should consider is
finding a place in the world with lots of biomes near each other
for variation (or perhaps instead a single biome).
Actually, we should use the entire southern third of the mesa as
a battleground. That'd be pretty amazing.

A possible mode that I'm open to would be more of a RP mode:
For example:
Like this:
Mines
Players with mines in their territory may upgrade swords (from
stone to iron, iron to diamond, etc). This would need a bit of
balancing to keep people from becoming OP.
etc.

Ok, Fiah proposed a concept on the Ubox forums, I suggest we
keep the discussion here. His post:

So a battleground in the mesas? Hm
Personally, I don't like the idea of turning an already rare
biome into a place where you destroy the terrain. However, it
might make some sense to turn exactly such an area into a place
where you fight for terrain, because the terrain has value. Even
though stained clay is already common enough that you can't
really call it rare I guess.
However, I think it might be better to only battle for a smaller
part of that mesa subcontinent, like maybe zone 1-37.
Also, remember how many times we've had to delay battles for the
BG because people took long to get there. :P It might be a
bigger issue there. Although since a second BG might be more of
an "elite place" without ristrictions, the regular players may
be more inclined to go there while less regular players might
prefer the current BG, so they might know the nether
infrastructure and how to get there fast better.

An anarchy battle zone? Do you mean just one region where you're
allowed to kill each other inside it and build stuff however you
want?
I like the idea, and added it as an option to the poll, and
reset the votes. If people show interest, we can add another
region for this.
I think a region like this should be far away from spawn, so
people don't venture into it accidentally. It could be called
something like "The Wilderness".

i agree that it's a bad idea to turn such a rare location into a
battleground. unless the terrain there is somehow unique and
radically changes battles, it doesn't accomplish anything except
ruining the terrain.
i don't agree it makes sense that we fight over terrain that has
value because that means battling becomes less of an optional
part of gameplay and more necessary if people want clay. of
course there is plenty of clay so this isn't as big of a problem
(but don't disregard it either), but a similar battleground on
the ice spikes would be an awful idea.

but the mesa is huge, not like we're going to mine all of it

Good points Kip. I agree. Overall I don't think it's a big
problem with the scarsity of stained clay, but I think it might
also be better to put the alternative battleground in another
area, that's also more accessible.
Some alternative ideas for areas could be these, which have
relatively varied terrain, mountains, forests and plains.
