Network Removing mini-games from the servers

[xKxty]

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you here, mainly because I've experienced and understood the frustrations players express because minigames are bugged/glitched. I've never once seen a player say "I don't like murder", though what I have seen are players constantly upset because Murder is bugged/glitched, preventing them to play. I'm not completely knocking the fact that players don't like a specific minigame, I'd be surprised if players loved all our minigames, but my point is with updates, bug fixes, etc.. more players can return to the simple, fun games they once loved with new perks (or related).

I can assure you, removing an amazing game such as Murder and completely giving up on its concept is not something that will benefit the network and will only frustrate players. Though, what I can say is games such as PartyGames obviously isn't interesting the players (or as I've seen) and that is something that can be removed or perhaps replaced with something players can vote for.

This is all just my opinion and perception of the situation.

I never said anything about murder lmao. Murder is the one game people actually enjoy, murder and creative are the only things keeping the server alive, but as you said players usually comment on how murder is bugged or broken since it's the main game a lot of players enjoy. I'm talking about lots of other mini games. You may have different experiences to me which is fine, but from what I've seen, when an update comes out for a game eg. party games, it will become popular for about a week, as players are curious to what it's like. Then the game will slowly die down because it's not really what anyones into. I feel though this is mainly because a lot of mini-games weren't suggested by the community and therefore a lot of players don't really want them.

Like I suggested in two of my previous comments, I think having some sort of survey or poll would be useful to determine what games are popular and what aren't. I think keeping all the mini games party zone has at the moment will just put added pressures onto the development team when they're really not very popular. So by having a survey/poll the community can have their say as to what games they enjoy/play and what games they don't. And then from that the development team can remove certain games.

Murder is classed as a mini-game, so it was just a misunderstanding.

I said Murder as an example, I should have specified so that was my fault but you said "minigames" so I also assumed you meant all of them. A bit of a misunderstanding which I'm glad we clarified because misunderstandings are okay!

Moving on, speaking about minigames such as Party Games, I agree with you there. My experiences with Party Games differ compared to Murder. In my previous post, I stated why I think it should be removed.

I also agreed with you in one of my posts above, saying players could have an option as voting shown here:

State of Minigames: OMG THIS IS AWESOME SO MANY PPL

2016-2017 State of Minigames: Hey...Why only Murder and Downgrade? Ooh Splatter!

2018 State of Minigames: Where is everybody? Oh... just creative?

Pretty much since Creative's the only game running, there's no point of having other games.

People still play Murder. The only reason people don't play the other games is because they can't. Murder is "dead" because it's very buggy, but it is still playable.

Adding onto what Cat said above, there is a point of having other games. Having PartyZone just as creative defeats it's the purpose of being a network. If we remove all games, we're removing the games that encouraged players to participate to the network and what originally made PartyZone, well, PartyZone.

As I've stated many times, the only reason players do not play minigames are either because they never took a long-term interest in them, there was not enough advertisement for the minigame upon release, or they are simply too glitchy/bugged. Despite all these issues regarding minigames, the easiest resolution to fixing these problems (and leadership is extremely aware, trust me) is that we need more developers. I've stated why in my previous post on this thread and other multiple threads, so I won't go much into detail. Labeling minigames as "pointless" is an ignorant statement to make, in my opinion, because they would most definitely not be pointless and rather enjoyable if they were fixed and/or replaced with minigames players could vote for.

I liked freeze tag and downgrade and still like them but I have not played them in ages (because they are still broken) I would like them to stay, but this is my opinion, the others games I don’t like (this does not include murder)

This would ruin the whole purpose of the server, being named "MCPZ or Minecraft PartyZone", Removing minigames would be removing the "Party" Out of the name, now maybe removing and adding Fresh minigames might suit better, but, full on removing minigames from the server is not a good idea.

One way to go about this could be to attempt to fix the minigames and have a poll to see what players would like to see with that specific mini game, or if they think it should be removed. Of course, that would waste development’s time on a game that would likely be removed, however that is just one way to go about it.

One thing I would like to see related to the suggestion is removing unplayable games from the compass until they are playable again. The developers are aware that certain games are not functioning however new players get very confused when they try to enter some games but majority of them are not working. This would just reduce the confusion for new and old players.

We wouldn’t have to remove the ‘Party’ from the name, it’s simply a name and not something players make all their judgements based off our network about it. What I believe the suggestor means about it is that these games would eventually be replaced by better ones that hopefully more people would play, most likely ones suggested by the community. So, theoretically it could be a good idea to remove mini games from the server as long as many of them are replaced - because as it is these games aren’t playable (either broken or not enough people to play with), which can be just like them being removed from the server.
